8 league wins would probably satisfy me at this point, even though that'd mean no post season

NFL: ***Official Playoffs Thread***

How about just one thread for the entire postseason instead of weekly threads? The schedule for this weekend:

Saturday 3:30 - Bills @ Texans. I'm tempted to go with Buffalo in this one but I think they might still be a year away. Plus the Texans get a big boost from the return of JJ Watt.

Saturday 7:15 - Titans @ Pats. Give me the Pats. They've never looked more vulnerable but it'd be stupid to bet against them.

Sunday at noon - Vikes at Saints. I'll take New Orleans. They've looked great recently (albeit against some pretty bad competition) and you just can't trust Minnesota in a big spot.

Sunday at 3:30 - Seahawks at Eagles. Interesting game. Both teams have been ravaged by injury and received MVP-caliber play from their QBs.

Business Tax Prep in Eastern Iowa

Looking for recommendations for accounting/tax prep services in Eastern Iowa (Preferably CR)
I'm self employed (Sub Chapter S) and am looking at bringing in a employee/partner this year.
The business is Executive Recruiting so there is not a high volume of transactions.

Here are some firms that have been recommended to me. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Friday OT #3 - At Least Your Name Isn't Michael Bolton

Thanks so much to @MeanDean for this idea! I enjoy your way of describing it:

Was on another site and a guy posted an article where one of the people mentioned was named Kevin Bacon. NOT the the actor guy. Just happened his name was actually Kevin Bacon. (Like Michael Bolton in the Office Space Movie.)

Anyway. People started posting the people they actually knew who shared the name with some famous person - and how they dealt with it - positive or negative.

Friday OT #2 - Point of No Return

Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for this idea! Here's the description, upon which I cannot improve:

Have you received a gift you didn't like, but since they came from a family member/close friend, you had to pretend to like it or even use openly make use of the gift so it didn't appear you were unappreciative?

Are you in that situation right now, trying to make hot dogs on a George Foreman grill so as not to offend Grandma? What have you got?

Drone Swarms Over Colorado and Nebraska

Mysterious drones have been flying over Colorado and Nebraska in recent weeks and authorities can't figure out who's behind the aircraft.

Deputies have spotted more than 16 unmanned drones flying in northeast Colorado after authorities received multiple reports of drone sightings last month, the sheriff's offices in Colorado's Yuma and Phillips counties said.

Brewer’s Career Over?

Baylor QB Brewer left the Sugar Bowl after a nasty hit on sideline. Head bounced off turf. Had to get carted off to locker room. How many head injuries before he’s done? If he were in my family it would have to be a serious conversation. Too much life to live after football. Some things in life are more important.
