QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 10:49 PM) the Big Lead has 1000 texts between Incognito and Martin. Doesnt look good for Martin. Every one of those awful quotes, in context, make sense. I mean, they're still inappropriate in public, but in private between two friends? And it sure seemed like Martin played a long too. Not to the same degree, but still. I'd be super pissed if I were Icongnito. This asshole ruined your career over nothing.

(Insert Celeb Here) is Dead
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 10:16 AM) Yeah, I realize that addiction is a major b**** and it's not that simple to just say no. At the same time though, I still have a hard time feeling bad for someone with the world at his fingertips and 3 children to throw away his life like that. Totally agree.

NFL Super Bowl XLVIII
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) But he was a college coach coaching well-paid professionals. Yeah but at USC he was coaching well-paid professionals against teams that didn't have professional level talent. I think you can throw most college success out the window when evaluating coaching talent. Maybe if you're Harbough and you take a program from nothing to great and sustain that success. That's impressive because you're winning without the best players. USC just reloaded ever year. And they played in a pretty bad conference. He didn't have a very good track record as a HC at the NFL level. That's where most of the doubt came from.

NFL Super Bowl XLVIII
QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) Why did people doubt that Pete Carroll could be successful in the NFL? He was very successful with well-paid players at his last job. Wasn't he pretty terrible with the Patriots? edit: looks like he was average with the Patriots. I was thinking of when he took over the Jets job and went 6-10. He's been just over .500 in the NFL. I don't think he's suddenly great because of this win.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 31, 2014 -> 12:03 PM) Fun fact that I get to use frequently down here: Kentucky and Louisville have a combined one win against Top 25 teams. That win came when they played each other. And watch, both will end up with top 4/5 seeds.

It's cold outside
Looks like O'hare is expected to get 9.6 inches, Midway 9.1. I think every storm prediction so far this year has ended up too low though.

2014 Video game thread
QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Jan 31, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) What is the story on the price ranges for PS4? I've seen between $350-$600, I assume the difference in price is just the amount of memory space each system has? I only really plan on buying/playing a handful of games. So I assume I'd be cool with just the lower tier price. I assume you need the larger memory if you are buying/downloading games from the PS Network? No, there is only one basic console for $399. Anything above that would be add ons (extra controller, a game, a PSN membership) or someone trying to make a profit.

If Illinois beats the teams they could beat (OSU, 2x Neb, Minn), and win 2-3 of their remaining games (Iowa, Wisc, Mich at home, MSU and Iowa on the road), and then win a game in the tourney, I think they're back in the bubble talk. That'd put them at .500 or one game below with a couple of quality wins. This will never happen. They will most likely finish 2-7 and 4-14 overall.

2014 TV thread
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jan 31, 2014 -> 11:22 AM) We had basic cable through Comcast and it seemed like they were raising their prices every other month. It was over $80. So we finally decided to switch to DirectTV. $61 for the first 3 months + free HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc… After 3 months we’ll cancel the movie channels and it will go up $10. Plus we have an offer for a $200 rebate. I’m just excited that we finally have a DVR. I've said it before in this thread, but call DirecTV every 6 months on the day and they'll give you some kind of promotion. All you need to do is ask what kind of deal they have for you to lower your payment.

I have a friend who works for Motorola. She was all excited to move to the Merchandise Mart office. Wonder if she'll still have a job in a few months.
