2012-2013 NBA thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 10:18 AM) If it doesn't involve disemboweling, it's not enough... Anyway, now I have to find a bar for Monday with the full NBA package. Suddenly night has become more difficult. And I'm already using up all my red shirts on IU games! Well at least Steve didn't buy a billboard this time

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 16, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) He also has a running game now though. That said, a regression from 36 receptions and 366 yards is fairly difficult to do. I think the question isn't "will he regress". I think the question is "will he remain healthy?" The last few years have not been kind to Jennings, a lot of nagging injuries. 8 games(or more) on that turf isn't going to make it better

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) For those who care about PFF, Roach wasn't looked upon fondly by them -- on the other hand, Urlacher last year was rated HORRIBLY. Might have been the worst rated player on the defense IIRC. Roach was closer to a neutral impact. Right, IMO he is just a guy, not someone you should be slotting in to replace Urlacher. It's starting to look like this draft will be reloading the LB corps

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 07:55 PM) For what its worth when he took over last year he was on a pace for 114 tackles over a full season vs the 90 Urlacher was on pace for. In Lovies defense the MLB makes a lot of tackles, it is what it is. He was a decent player but just a guy. It's kind of sad that you are comparing his production to a one legged Urlacher as if that is a good thing.

Roach is just a guy, nothing to get worked up over. Certainly not someone to think of as Urlachers replacement

Alexei called most underrated SS in AL
QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 05:36 PM) A team would rather pay Drew $9.5M than trade for Ramirez and pay him $27M. That is assuming that the White Sox attempted to trade him to the Red Sox and the Red Sox said no and then went on to sign Drew. That is quite a leap in logic. Just because you want the White Sox to trade Ramirez does not mean the White Sox want to trade Ramirez.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) It is scary that we are all optimistic.....I am now feeling less optimistic. I had chosen 85-88, but I think they could hit 90 if healthy. I think they will keep it close and maybe snag a WC spot. It is still a very young thread......

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 12:48 PM) Right now, the new 3D Mario platformer and Mario Kart game will make or break them IMO. They can't just be rehashes like 2D Mario sequels become. They need new and unique features that blow people away, sort of like Mario Galaxy did when it first came out. The problem is that those games probably won't come out until the fall or holidays. At that point the Xbox 720 & PS4 will be right around the corner and you'll have a hard time convincing people to buy a Wii U. They need some big games soon and I just don't see them. The games you mentioned may all be solid, but I don't expect any of them to big sellers or move systems. Hopefully they have surprises at E3, because god only knows that all their studios are working on. Retro Studios in particular better have a big announcement. Really though, how many times has this been said about Nintendo? They just keep plugging along, making sales. I make no excuses, I love Nintendo games. I grew up on Mario, Zelda, Metroid. Those are the games I want to play, I appreciate them, all iterations(except maybe Metroid Other M). I said a few months ago, I think Nintendo and Sony and XBox are all kind of doing their own thing anymore. They compete with each other, but Nintendo just does not give a s*** about what those two do, for good or bad. Another game just announced is that Pokemon Rumble WiiU game, that makes use of figurines like Skylanders, except you dont have to get that little pad to set them on, they make use of the NFC connection in the gamepad. Pokemon usually is a big win for Nintendo, they do very well with those games. But the there is no way around it, this launch has been extremely dissapointing in the game department.

2013 Video Game Thread
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 15, 2013 -> 06:45 AM) Anyone else think the Wii U is doomed? I just can't believe how much Nintendo has botched this console. You think Nintendo would have learned their lesson from the 3DS launch, but there have literally been no games worth purchasing since launch. There is still no killer app that demonstrates what the system is truly capable of (Nintendoland doesn't count IMO). Plus they don't even have the virtual console up yet to keep people until some good games out. What's going to happen when two truly next-gen systems come out later year? Nintendo needed to build a large ussr base beforehand, but without any big games on the horizon, they're going to be in big trouble come Christmas. People aren't buying the console for Pikman. Without Mario, Metriod, & Zelda games soon, this is going to go under, especially with 3rd party support lacking once again. I've been a huge Nintendo fan my whole life, but they proven with Wii U that they're never going to change. Key modern day features like online play and easy backup/transfer of digital purchases lack behind their competitors. I mean for f***'s sake, they're still stressing local multiplayer, which may be great for families but few other people care. I tried playing Super Mario Wii U with my wife when I first got the console and you can't even use the Gamepad with two people, you both have to use Wiimotes because the Gamepad is reserved for a player who wants to build platforms for the others. To drop $400 on a system and games and not be able to use the main selling point for normal gameplay is just f***ing stupid. Nintendo just doesn't get it. Im pissed at the lack of games for sure, but I never will count Nintendo out. For all of the talk about the superiority of Xbox and PS3, the Wii dominated the last console generation in sales. Mario(Solo and Kart) are coming out within the next few months, the HD Windwaker is coming out in August, Pikmin 3(which Miyamoto said should have been a launch game) comes out in May. And another game I have been waiting for is also coming out in May, Wonderful 101. IGN just gave Lego City Undercover an 8.0. There is a lot of things that Nintendo just doesnt care about, there is no doubt about it. They just do things the way they want to do them and say f*** it.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 07:23 PM) They rebooted it to Sports Talk Live! It's funny after the reboot guests would come on and say Gratz on the new show Kap! lol I guess they're trying to have more regulars, not that the old format didn't have regulars. Telander and Morrissey seem to always be booked on Mondays. They had Tim Doyle on recently and he accused Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Barkley all of being on steroids. I've never seen a panel get so silent, nobody wanted to touch that comment with a 10 foot pole. The funny thing was he wouldn't give up on it, and ended repeating it as everybody sat around stone faced. I think the difference is it isn't only trib guests
