The ravens must really have sucked then since Ray Lewis has the2nd highest career solo tackles, the3rd highest tackle assists, the6th highest career interceptions among LBs, the4th highest career sacks for ILBs, and the6th highest forced fumbles for ILBs.

Corbray is clearly a threat toboys. The last Sansa chapter, Littlefinger states that Corbray can be controlled as long as he has opportunities for "gold, boys, and killing." I cannot think of an instance where its indicated Corbray is a threat to Robert as Littlefinger has already made it...

Lol, you remembered half the panel but forgot the other half where he states how he could obtain it:

Unlikely. Orochimaru knows the Second Hokage created it (Kabuto explains Orochimaru's research to Obito) and he's aware of what happens if you release control because in his fight with the Third Hokage, he removed their personalities but they returned when being sealed (they apologized for...

It's not just that page, its also from Kabuto describing his control over the Edo Tensei individuals (Ch. 513, 532, 582) and Itachi (and other resurrected ninjas) describing what's occurring when its released (Ch. 589). Combine those three, and the implication is what I wrote above.

No, it was explained. Itachi after defeating Kabuto used genjutsu to force Kabuto to reveal the hand seals needed to cancel it and then had him execute the release. Once this occurred, everyone summoned regained complete autonomy of their actions as they turned to dust. It was only at this...

The battle of Ain Jalut, which was a decisive victory for the Mamluks (and the first major defeat for the Mongols as a whole) ended what might otherwise been complete devastation of the area. The mongols raided again 30 years later and went as far as Gaza but their incursions into that...

A number of studies have shown in the Olympics that during the ceremony, the person who wins 2nd is sadder than the person who wins 3rd by a significant P-value. So yeah, its a psychological thing.

Sorry, I wasn't part of the people posting about Manning nor did I actually happen to read any of it. I should also clarify slightly (I did once already but it was nuanced). Right now, until we have a larger body of games to study, its much more likely that his performance is luck rather than...

I've said same or slight regression (Pass %). I think he's a remarkably consistent Quarterback and gets unfair treatment and I happen to agree with you that he's not elite but close enough that it doesn't matter if the defense remains above average.

Here is what those stats look like condensed and then extrapolated into a single season: GP: 12 -> 16 CMP: 185 -> 247 ATT: 340 -> 454 CMP%: 54.4 YDS: 2385 -> 3180 TD: 16 -> 21 INT: 8 -> 10.5 FUM: 2 -> 3 Oh, it looks slightly worse than his average season over the last few years...

I agree with everything you said here. He is having a great playoff run and had the Ravens lost either of those games, you could not point to Flacco as being at fault. I just wanted to be clear that having a good/great run in the playoffs is not indicative of skill because of the small sample...

This. Merrith, you are trying to credit someone as improved because they are on a lucky streak when their overall stats point to no growth or slight regression. This is not even broaching the performance of the other 20 starters, the backups, and coaches/playcalling that contributes to a QB's...

A string of two-three good games does not somehow elevate you to a better player just because probability favored you in the playoffs. Flacco has been consistently an above average but not great player since his second year in the NFL and this season was no different. If anything, he's been...

From Deadspin: Lol @ ESPN. From the ESPN interview: Well, in the extremely unlikely case he was duped, he can at least console himself that he was a scumbag to a fake person dying instead of a real one.

To actually point out all these inconsistencies as obvious would directly implicate them as lazy and incompetent in their exultation of his struggles throughout the season. Ergo, sports reporters have perverse incentives (ego, credibility) to make it look like an expertly administered hoax on...

It took some effort to make it work out but the important thing is the Saints can still make it!

http://snfallaccess.nbcsports.com/- no president here.

No, you specifically said the Seahawks needed a minimum of 11-5 and maybe even 12-4 to reach the playoffs not a "really good record". Had you said that, Adam12 wouldn't of needed to question the absurdity in week 7 of saying that a 10-6 team couldn't make the wildcard. Incidentally, attached...

Looks like it wasn't either, closest I can find to that is: Jooka posted right after this some nonsense, maybe you conflated the two. Also I missed original Azeth quote that sparked the whole debate:

For posterity and with the power of google, I bring you Azeth mathematically eliminating the Seattle Seahawks in mid October. Note: Google cache doesn't save images so for example, all of Mario's posts are lost.

Of course, within the lore of middle-earth, the appearance of a morgul-blade is essentially meaningless since the Nazgul had been active in middle-earth affairs since ~1300 T.A. The Witch-King over the next 1500 years founds the kingdom of Angmar, conquers the kingdoms of Arthedain, Rhudaur...
