QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Terrible deal. Especially with the way the A's make pitching. Just not a move I'd make if I was them. Kazmir was pretty good last year, but expecting Kazmir to keep that up is not something I'd bet on.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 01:30 PM) JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 1m Kazmir agrees to 2yrs $22m deal with A's #Confirmed That's a disaster waiting to happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) Realistically we have no idea what the defense would have been this year. We had guys out for the season in the exhibition season, and it has been downhill since. The only main defensive player who hasn't missed time is Peppers. And he was absolutely brutal before getting 3 sacks yesterday.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) The only thing that scares me about the Bears under Trestman is they are giving off a sort of Cowboys vibe. A talented offensive team with a bad performing defense and makes stupid ST plays and penalties all over the field, good for 8-8 every year. And we have Jay Ratliff. And their former ST coordinator.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) The length of the product cycles makes me want to kill myself. My HTC One is already considered outdated and it has aged better than all the other models that came out at that time. Well the HTC One is almost a year old. But yeah, in the mobile landscape, your phone can go from awesome to decent in like 6 months.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 11:54 PM) Pretty uneducated on this stuff, so I'm seeking some advice, on a 46" LED TV how crucial is the 60Hz/120Hz difference, particularly with sports/Blu-Ray/gaming? It depends on the TV you get. I've gamed on some 120 Hz TVs and it was awful due to the stupid motion effect they use. It was almost like it had input lag sometimes. I've also gamed on other 120 Hz TVs and it was awesome. I own a 120 Hz TV, but I honestly can't tell the difference between it and a 60 Hz TV (reviews have said this about my TV).

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 29, 2013 -> 01:36 AM) Purchased a Lenovo A720 AIO desktop. i5 Ivy Bridge dual core 2.5GHz, 1 GB NVIDIA GPU, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB 5400 RPM HDD, Blu-Ray, HDMI in/out, beautiful design, nice 27" 1920x1080 multi-touch monitor with sweet adjustability. The main issue with it was that the specs weren't good enough to justify the price, but I got it for $700. Usually that is getting you Pentium processors. That processor is kinda weak.

I also benched Decker...for Fred Jackson. The good thing is that I still won and solidified my #1 seed with a first round bye despite that boneheaded decision.

Alshon has around 150 more yards than Marshall now on the season. Who would have thought that'd be possible heading into the season?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:24 AM) All 4 of those were my starters. They combined for 8 td's. Plus my league is a ppr league. I also had Roddy White and Michel Floyd on my bench. Both of those guys had pretty good games as well. How do you have so many good WR?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:01 AM) I had 4 WR starting on my team this week. Josh Gordon Alshon Jeffery Eric Decker James Jones Did you at least start 3 of them...?

I won in all my leagues yesterday, except the league I was undefeated in. The worst part is that I lost by .24.

Fred Jackson or Eric Decker for flex?

Motorola's selling the Moto X for $350 off-contract on Cyber Monday. They're trying to match the price of the Nexus 5.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) Cubs got Kottaras. For cash considerations. He would have been a great platoon guy at C. Now that Youk sucks, Kottaras is truly the Greek God of walks.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:45 PM) Anybody know when the new Nexus 10 is going to come out?? I have read on black friday but you think there would have been an announcement already.. I figured if that comes out the one from last year will be cheaper and might get it. I looked at the 7 inch tablets and they just seem a bit too small for me. Wish they had it in a n 8 or 9 inch screen.. so figured the 10 inch would be best for me. But still haven't decided. Such a tough decision for whatever reason.. There were leaks saying it should have come out on the 22nd, but that date's already passed. I don't know, maybe after Black Friday?

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:26 PM) How f***ing depressing. Last year, the Bulls were fun to watch, at least I thought so. This year, not so much, and it's only getting worse. Ugh. The Bulls were a lot of fun to watch last year, especially in the playoffs.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:14 PM) Sounds so familiar. Remember when the Bulls were picked as contenders in 07? Yeah, they won 33 games. Remember when this year's Bulls were picked as title contenders? Yeah, they're also going to win around 33 games. Of course, there's also the similarity that two Chicago prospects will come out of the draft the following year. Do your magic, NBA commissioner's office.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) 1/13 from three. One three point fg in 53 minutes in 2013. My goodness. Good loss. I think they could go 0 for this trip now. Go 0 for the rest of the season for all I care. We need a high draft pick to turn this franchise around.

I sat Rivers for Kaepernick. I would have won either way, but it looks like starting Kaepernick wasn't that bad of a choice.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) Plasmas are extremely inefficient (use more energy) and they have a risk of screen burn. Apparently they're better about the screen burn in now, but it can still happen.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 12:31 PM) The price is what caught my eye. I figured a 7" tablet isn't much bigger than many phones these days. We asked her about the Ipod and she wasn't thrilled with using itunes. That Lenovo tablet you saw probably has an old version of Android and has crappy hardware. This tablet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E0EY7Z...;pf_rd_i=507846 had a fairly recent version of Android (4.2.2) and has the specs of one of the best tablets last year. And it's very affordable at $130. It's probably the best tablet you can buy for under $150.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) No that was incomplete. He had a catch and fumble where the ball went backwards about 16 yards so he's gonna end up getting -1.6 it looks like. Oh. Yeah I was wondering how they would credit that to him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 06:58 PM) Soooo looks like I'm gonna be stat corrected for the loss because of a weird Dez Bryant play, unf***inbelievable. Did they rule that incomplete pass he caught a completion?
