Free agency is funny. "SI.com's Peter King sees free agent Mario Manningham landing a deal that will pay him "at least" $7 million per season."

Here's my review of the first 6 episodes if you're interested: http://stewover.com/2012/01/05/the-walking...o-win-and-soon/ This show is not going to be Left 4 Dead(that would be an awesome show though). I think the first few episodes of the show may have tricked people into thinking it was going to be like that all the time. Like the comic, the characters don't go very far. It's seems like people want to see them in a new location every episode. It's not going to happen. They stay at the farm and if they follow the comic, they will go to a prison and stay there for a long time. There are a bunch of characters that they haven't introduced yet. I do hope they do that soon, because some of them are really cool.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 09:37 AM) Very sad to hear this.. Former Bear Tommie Harris wife passed away. Wife of former Bears DT Tommie Harris dead at 29. That is really sad.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 09:35 AM) Yeah i'm not looking for a zombie escape every episode. I'm looking for something to actually happen. We've been at this farm for 7 episodes now. Nothing has really changed. It's been boring ass conversation after boring ass conversation with a sprinkle of action every 3rd hour. Alan Greenwald at Grantland had a pretty good recap: http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-pr...ice-in-nebraska SoxAce what characters are you referring to? I don't think there's a single character left that I care for. They're all pretty annoying. Edit: and the conversation angle would be fine if this was well written. This is hack writing at it's best. Same themes/issues covered repeatedly, over and over and over again. You seem to really hate it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 13, 2012 -> 08:46 AM) 50 minutes of absolute, complete boredom, followed by 10 minutes of genuinely tense stuff. Pretty typical. What I don't understand is why the writers think the audience gives two s***s about these characters. From what little I know of the comic, new characters will be introduced, so that will help. But after a 2 month break, why are we still subjected to one on one conversations about nothing that matters? Grimes and his wife arguing again? Gee, haven't seen that before. Shane going off on someone? Haven't seen that before either. Also, the whole Glenn/farmers daughter angle is hilarious. Didn't they meet like 3 days ago? And then didn't they keep their relationship hidden? And now they're saying I love you's and making out in front of people? Wtf? D- The show is just like the comic book. I think people are expecting it to be this crazy action movie zombie show. The comic is not like that at all.

Pearl Jam is ok, but they are no Nickelback.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) 49ers mock draft First I would Michael Crabtree for a mid to late 2nd rd pick 1st rd Mohammed Sanu WR Rutgers 2nd rd- Vinny Curry DE Marshall ( The Crabtree pick ) 2nd rd- Juron Criner WR Arizona 3rd rd- Orson Charles TE Georgia 4th rd- Cliff Harris CB Oregon 5th rd- Jacquies Smith OLB Missouri 6th rd- Winston Guy SS Kentucky 7th rd- Brandon Bullock DT- Marshall Orson Charles won't last until the 3rd round. He might not make it to the 2nd round.

I just think you have to build with the draft. I think the load up with free agents and try and win one year stuff never works.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 08:54 AM) Lovie doesn't have the time to wait for drafted players to become impact players. I never understood why people think rookies need 5 years to become impact players. Victor Cruz wasn't even drafted and caught 82 passes his second year. Clay Matthews had 10 sacks in his first. Aldon Smith had 14. I could go on and on with rookies playing well. I just look at all the teams that have won the Super Bowl the past 5 years and all those teams drafted well and signed a free agent here and there.

I think spending big money on free agents is usually a bad idea.

Deion Branch dropped one on that final drive that could of went for a big play.

I can't make a pick on this game. I think it will really close. Should be good game.

It will probably be a couple guys, but Dunn will get it the worst.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 08:58 AM) Frank Wuterich, the Marine responsible for ordering the Haditha massacre which resulted in the death of 24 civilians within 45 minutes, gets a reduction in rank and no jail time. It's shocking to read, but it's not surprising. Maybe him and William Calley can hang out and talk about the good old days of committing war crimes and serving no time.

Every Sunday? If so that's pretty cool.

I didn't get a chance to see any of the nominated films for best picture. I thought Hobo with a Shotgun should have been nominated for best picture.

@BobMcGinn Bob McGinn The #Bears on the verge of hiring #Chiefs dir. of college scouting Phil Emery as GM. NFL sources said just a matter now of dotting the i's.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) Damn the Niners have to face the Saints, Packers, Jets and Pats on the road next season. Plus face the Giants, Lions and Bears at home. I see the 49ers winning the NFC West with a 11-5 record. I'm going to that Packers vs. 49ers game next year. I hope it's earlier in the season.

I liked that he mentioned the spring training stuff. The last few years of spring training have been crap. I don't know how much it matters, but it would be nice to start the season out looking good.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 08:12 AM) Like I said before the playoffs started, the Giants were my sleeper, they came into the playoffs hot and their defense was beasting(still is) What's with the Giants playing pretty average during the regular season and then getting into the playoffs and tearing it up. All on the road too. 2007 and this year. It's pretty impressive.
