Coffee Talk #234: My Router’s Name is Scarlett Johansson

Inspired by one of Bill Simmons’ readers, I’ve decided to change my router’s name to Scarlett Johansson. This way I’m always “connecting to”, “connected to”, or “searching for” Scarlett Johansson (this is not too far from reality).

Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, the chances of the Yankees signing Cliff Lee and/or Jayson Werth, how much Jayson Werth looks like WWE Edge, or Cain Velasquez kicking the crap out of Brock Lesnar, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.

Inspired by one of Bill Simmons’ readers, I’ve decided to change my Internet router’s name to Scarlett Johansson. This way I’m always “connecting to”, “connected to”, or “searching for” Scarlett Johansson (this is not too far from reality). Sometimes I will be connected to Scarlett in multiple ways (PC, console, mobile phone, etc.). I’m not a selfish man, so when friends come over, they too can connect to Scarlett Johansson. This is going to be brilliant!

Out of curiosity, what’s your router’s name? Go ahead and smack yourself in the head if your router is named “LINKSYS” or “NETGEAR”. I think you should all rename your routers this week! What names are popping around your head?

And yes, today’s column was particularly fun because of the photo research I “had” to do. Here are some bonus pics.

  1. My routers name was Big Blak but I now live with my gf and she named hers something funky like Purivida or something.

    2. Yeah, I was going to ask you what in blue hell happened yesterday? I lost so many points on that game in my fantasy pick 'em league.

      -M

  5. Sometimes I really hate living in the Phoenix TV market during NFL season. When your choices are watching the Cardinals and Shehawks "play football," or really do anything else….anything else will always win.

    1. Yeah, cutler blows and you shouldve known washington would shut him down. Washingtons D has held thw past 5 teams its faced to 17 points or less.

    2. Must be a different league, cause I've got Cutler. I put him on my bench in favor of Kolb this week, which turned out to be more or less a wash.

    3. Orton did the same to mine this week. He scored about half of what I needed him to do. Now all I can hope for is the Cowboy’s defense to score only around 200-300 points.

      1. hehe, coulda shoulda woulda. He was my best option at QB in the league. Coulda shoulda woulda I would have picked up Campbell since they destroyed the Broncos yesterday. Who saw that coming?

  10. I named mine DNTFKNTRY, mostly because I currently live somewhere that if you are close enough to try to access my router then you are on my property and I can probably see you.

  11. What a great topic for photo research. I never thought of that! Idk who’d i name it after. Right now my router is named cubs.

    @yankees signing lee
    I see it happening and i will be upset.

    @edge i mean jayson werth
    I think i’ve mentioned this before and i agree.

    @lesnar grtting tko’d
    I was hoping for it. Brock is getting annoying.

  13. my router is named " dr charles nichols"

    because my router "switched the samples" and it "killed lentz" too

    i no that makes no sense, i just love the movie, the fugitive

      3. thanks guys, and i got destroyed last week by tokz

        im sure you are glad it was big ben who was the one to do it to you though

      4. -"im sure you are glad it was big ben who was the one to do it to you though"-

        No pun intended… I'm sure.

  14. They are playing like garbage. Brees isn’t himself. Dunno why. D is ranked top 5 but the O can’t get going. It was the Arizona game all over again. Hopefully getting Bush back will make things better but if Brees is going to throw 4 picks per game with 2 being returned for TDs then nothing will help.

    1. You know how crazy our division is. Whoever wins the division is guaranteed to play terrible the next year. This is a proven fact. I've seen it every year. Also, the Madden curse is real. Whoever is on the Madden cover will either get hurt or have a terrible year.

      1. Brees was on the Madden cover last year, he hasn't gotten hurt yet but he's playing terrible.

  15. Brees might just be content. IDK. He’s guaranteed one of those triple digit contracts, won a SB, has lots of fame. Hard to say. Could be ego.

    Hopefully they at least try vs Pitt Sunday.

  16. This may be somewhat unoriginal and a bit ego-centric, but my router’s name is “M-Net.”

    -M

  19. The video has been edited and rendered! It’s uploading now and will be ready for you in the morning. I had to take some shortcuts on it since I wanted to finish it tonight, but I think you guys will dig it. I hope you guys will dig it. Hopefully the half-naked women dressed as elves will distract you from my mediocre shooting and editing skills. Ha!

    1. its 10 am here on the east coast, and its my bedtime…ill see it when i wake up!!

      if you need any tips with the adobe, i can try to help….or maybe you can help me?, im not THAT good with it

    1. i wish i could but sometimes things can be left unexplained. i'd still tap that 25 years later.

  21. If any of you guys have teams that still play my Giants this year, you may want your backup QB's to start the game to protect your starter. The Giants have knocked 5 QB's out of games this year. Flukey? Yes. But just like the Madden Curse, I'm becoming a believer that some flukes are more like patterns.

    1. Thank God my Falcons don't play the G-Men this year. Matt Ryan is finally starting to look good.

    3. I would give anything for the Dolphins to play the Giants this year so they can take out Chad Henne.

  23. so my gf was rejected by TMo on an upgrade, saying that she can't upgrade with a discount because she did upgraded to the mytouch 3g without a discount last year. how retarded is that? well i think i'm just going to try to upgrade her to froyo or at least the latest update that TMo has available for that phone. Does anyone know how i go about doing that?

    1. As of now there is no official Froyo from Tmo for the Mytouch 3g. I have the same phone as your gf and we are stuck with Android 1.6 until "further" notice. She or you could hack/root the phone but it may become bricked and non operable. The only options we have are to wait or by a new phone with Froyo. Sorry dude, its sucks.

      1. Thanks. it does suck, this is why i hate TMo. She likes the Evo maybe i can convince her to dump them and just pick up Sprint. maybe that will change TMo’s mind.
        I wish i knew more about Android phones to be confident to hack/root them.
