QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 08:50 AM) It's a close call for sure, I like both guys. I hear you on recalibrating - trying not to play a panic card after one week with guys, but also a good time to look to buy low when applicable. I think Bowe will still get a ton of targets in an Andy Reid offense and will be good in PPR. That was my thought-process on Wilson. It might have seemed like a panic move to get rid of Bowe, but it was purely trying to upgrade. Wilson went 10 picks before an overdrafted Mathews and Gronk went 10 picks before Bowe. I like that type of upgrade.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 08:44 AM) PPR league where I have Graham and Witten (Flex), picked up Julius Thomas off waivers hoping to flip him. Didn't take long, traded Thomas and Garcon for Roddy White. Have Fitzgerald and Bowe at WR, so figure I essentially upgraded Garcon for White with a TE I'd likely never use. Wait a few weeks for his ankle to recover, and I'll have Fitzgerald and a seemingly healthy White instead of Fitzgerald and Bowe/Garcon. Though, I still like Bowe as possible WR2/Flex option and glad I moved Garcon instead of Bowe. I have grown to like Garcon over Bowe, but who the hell knows. After week 1 I'm re-calibrating.

Shove it, everyone.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 07:45 AM) I love Mike & Mike. I've been listening to/watching them for 13 years. This.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 01:58 PM) That 7th touchdown wasn't significant because of the 6 other touchdowns you threw, therefore you didn't perform as well! Come on Steve, this is obviously a good metric. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Oh yeah.

Damage Control: traded Mathews and Bowe (save it, Krush) and got back David (please don't fumble Sunday) Wilson and Gronkowski. Love that trade on a few levels given I had Sudfeld. Also dropped some scrubs and added Marlon Brown, Winslow, and Pryor.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 01:51 PM) QBR is based on when you score your TDs. So since Cutler threw a pretty clutch TD to Marshall, he gets more credit for that than Manning's TDs, most of which were just adding on to their big lead. A lot of people don't like QBR (stat heads included). So 7 touchdowns, 5 of which weren't entirely significant, are outweighed by 2 touchdowns, with one being most significant? Dumbest s*** I've ever read in my life.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 10:56 AM) Well, f***! Didn't get the job. Didn't even move on to the second interview phase. Man, HR people are getting really good at pretending to be interested in people when they aren't. Their job is to string everyone along and keep them on the hook.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:32 AM) I've only had trouble ever finding one game, and that was Kingdoms of Amalur, which, as you'll remember, is Curt Schilling's abortion but is overall a pretty fun game otherwise. I just tend to log onto best buy sometime that AM and purchase whatever I want for in-store pickup. I'm debating NHL, but might as well wait because Madden owns my soul right now anyway.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 12:03 AM) So apparently when you preorder a game from Toys R Us, you are FORCED to have the game shipped to you. If you wait until the release day, you can walk over to your local store and grab it. So I am 1 mile away from Toys R Us right now, yet I have to wait an estimated 7 to 10 days to get my copy of NHL '14, which comes out tomorrow. They would rather pay for the shipping themselves (Free shipping), than have me just go to the store and grab it. God damnit Toys R Us. Holy f***, why do you shop at Toys R Us? Why do people EVER pre-order games anymore, also? I've never, in the last 5 years, had any issue with getting any new game that came out.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 05:07 AM) Got my Chromecast. Being able to stream HBO GO, albeit from a computer laptop, is pretty sweet. DirecTV simply has HBOGO as part of their on demand.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 12:54 PM) As far as predictions go, I've seen on the interwebs that a theory is that the nazi's kill Hank and Gomez, and then essentially kidnap Jesse to force him to cook for them. Walt takes his family and runs away to New Hampsire to get them away from everything, and then goes out and buys a gun and heads back to ABQ to kill all the nazis (with help of a rival gang?) and free Jesse. The ricin is for himself because once he secures his family's safety (and his/their money) and rescues Jesse, he is allowing himself to die on his own terms because the cancer officially knocks him off. So then the show ends with him injesting the ricin and dying while Jesse and his family live on. This is indeed a pretty believable scenario.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 05:28 AM) While I would love for your scenario to play out, Cano will never accept such a short deal. Why risk free agency again when someone will offer him a 9 or 10 year deal?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 09:05 AM) Also, why when asked to identify themselves as law enforcement did they refuse to do so? Odd items all around. That confused me as well. Probably because they knew there was no chance in hell.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) Witten and Murray may end up saving my ass. They made up those 17 pts I needed, just in the 1st half. I'm now just trailing by those 4 Josh Brown points. If I could get 2 more TD's out of Witten/Murray, that should seal it. There's another thread for this. Keep it there. You know why? Because no one gives a s*** about your stupid fantasy team.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 12:10 AM) I was trying to notice things in the distance, and I swear I saw a figure or two appear on the top of one of the cliffs. I thought right after he said he loved her that we would see a bullet go through his head from a sniper. But either way, it was obvious that the Nazis would have to show up and save Walt, I just figured they wouldn't miss with their first 200 rounds. Seriously, it was like 7 guns pointed at Hank and Gomez, and they weren't even shielded. They should have shredded them. Yeah - that was a bit weak. They had some heavy artillery and were fully shielded by the vehicles. Only in video games and Sons of Anarchy to firefights with that much ammunition being blasted at someone unprotected have I ever seen something that ridiculous. I thought Hank was going to get popped while on the phone. I don't know where the nazis reside, but they were pretty far out in the dessert for a 10 minute rendezvous.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) Yeah after hanks phone call to Marie I have to think he is as good as dead

Holy s***. Football.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 01:10 AM) EA Sports has had this issue in their games for years. It drives me nuts. Loading an NHL 13 franchise game is a 15 step, 10 minute ordeal.

It's up there with Madden 11 for me. I didn't think they'd matter, but doing the tutorials makes a difference. Now 4-1 against random assholes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 10:55 PM) Never. How talented is Aziz? Seemed pretty funny. How is that possible.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 09:46 AM) That's not Yahoo, that's your commissioner. This. Needs to be set to 'Game Time - Tuesday'.

Natural selection's a b****.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 6, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) I caved. It's pretty fun, especially running the read option. sucker.
