Adrian Peterson indicted for negligent injury to a child
QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 08:03 PM) Not everyone is as brilliant as you. He grew up probably receiving the same kind of punishment. I'm not excusing that behavior, but I do think this is cultural behavior. If you read his texts, he honestly didn't believe what he did was wrong, only that he took it too far. There is another America out there other than white hipster land. Yeah, and white or black, opening up multiple wounds on a four year old is unacceptable.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) PS4 Destiny is great, but really is so much better when playing with friends. Yeah. I haven't played yet without friends. I don't see why I'd ever bother.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) Yes, it would be. After playing The Show with simulated counts turned on, I can't even imagine playing a brutally long hour long baseball game anymore. I want fast paced and quick games. You can only turn the period lengths down so much before sacrificing realistic statistics. Yeah, I just play games with the Blackhawks. It takes like 20 minutes to get a game in and the stats come out realistic.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 07:48 AM) this whole rewind week on BB is just stupid, they shouldn't have let us see if they hit the button or not. Actually, the button hitting is cool. We shouldn't know what it's going to do, though.

Hawk
QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 29, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) I hear what comes through my television speakers. And this year it's been nonsense to a level it has never reached previously. He may have taught a lot of stuff before, now he's just a crazy man who wants to turn everything into some grandiose proclamation that doesn't make any sense. But yes, Hawk was the first one in baseball who thought the walk was a good idea. That's the point. It's not that people didn't like Hawk before, but the time has come to move forward. Perfect summary.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 10, 2014 -> 01:10 AM) NHL 15 review from IGN wasn't that great. Gave it a 7. Said they stripped a lot of features out of the game this year, and basically masked it with a beautiful shell. I think I'll be skipping out on NHL for the first time in like 5 years. For me, it's a no-brainer purchase. What's missing is stuff like the EASHL which is something I never do anyway. Apparently it's a great game of hockey, the franchise mode works (which is all I ever do - the quest for Toews/Kane dual 100 point campaigns is always fun), and online play against my friends works. I picked it up yesterday, though it didn't get to spin at all because Destiny is so amazing. No worries, NHL always has a super long shelf life for me. You're a big fan of the EASHL, right Joe? If that's the case, apparently EA will be adding it back in as a patch, so you can probably just pick it up when it drops to $50 or when you can nab it for $40 on eBay.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Steve or anyone else, I already know I'm upgrading this fall, can someone sell me on the benefits of the "plus" sized phone as compared to the smaller one? It has a bigger screen. EDIT: That's literally it on my end. I'll have to play with both, but I see no reason I wouldn't want the bigger screen. Also, that likely means a bigger battery and definitely more storage.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) Out of curiosity, why? Because I'm tired of the slight hiccup that comes along with owning an Android device and the issues that plague all of them in their inability to age well. Also, I want to be able to FaceTime with my wife when she's on business trips. Also, they released a Google Music app for iPhone which was the last thing keeping me tied to my Android.

My wife is pregnant!
QUOTE (JPN366 @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 11:34 PM) Honestly though, BE INVOLVED! Don't be one of those chauvinist a$$holes who thinks the woman has to do everything or whatever. I doubt you are, but just sayin'. Never. My wife is a queen and I'm happy to serve.

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 09:52 PM) Doubtful. That's not really anything we don't already know, is it? February: Ray Rice knocks out fiance. Today: Nothing we don't know about this situation released as video evidence, world s***s itself. Ray Rice's two game suspension turns into lifetime ban. Your point? Clearly this video seeing public eye changes everything for most people.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) So, anyone else read that Atlanta Hawks e-mail? I'm not really sure what's so racist about it... I wonder if he/the ownership group was more worried that he would piss off white fans in Atlanta? It really wasn't that racist - actually it was kind of the opposite and more pissed off at the southern racists in Atlanta.

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
I don't see how this video changes everything. We already knew Rice knocked her out, to have some new reactions is childish. The suspension was sickeningly short before, and it remains sickenly short now.

Woo! 13 weeks! We're past the first trimester! Honestly, this is awesome. She's super hot and about to be super pregnant - and I'm the luckiest man alive. Now, to keep working my ass off so she can quit her job and stay home!

2014 Fantasy Football Thread
It seems to matter not what I do in fantasy these days. No matter my choice it goes wrong. I pick this turd Eddie Lacy, and he's worthless week one and gets a concussion. Whatever I do, I just wind up disappointed. Meanwhile, everyone who took beast mode (incliding) my opponent just gets to laugh and laugh. f*** fantasy. That said, LOL Packers. Also Holy f*** the Seahawks are good.
