    2013 NFL Season

    They are one week removed from getting blown out by the Vikings, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

    2013 NFL Season

    I would dispute that because I think judging a player in a team sport on championships is really fucking dumb and the worst thing the 24 hour sports news cycle has perpetuated with the shallowest analysis.

    Games to play with your GF/Wife?

    Forbidden Island, Castles of Burgundy. Forbidden Island is a cheap, streamlined, co-op game. Plays quick with an easy rule set, but there's plenty of variation. It shares a lot of game mechanics with its big brother Pandemic, which is deeper at the cost of a lot more complexity. Castles of...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I would also note that coinbase does appear suspiciously ponzi like to me. I've no proof, but my gut is they are paying out based on new entrants to the market. So caveat emptor &c.

    The Beer Thread

    I really love oarsmen, but there are some serious quality control issues. I've never gotten as many bad sixers of a single beer as oarsman. I know that taste. It's not what it's supposed to taste like.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It certainly isn't a currency because it doesn't an issuer i.e. someone who guarantees the exchange of currency for good, services, or financial instruments, which is pretty fucking important for currency. Also, that isn't intrinsic value. Intrisic value is what it's actually worth absent of the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    That's actually not a bad way to look at it. Bitcoin is like gold in that it's not a monetary instrument. It's an asset. It can't ever be a currency in a current form because it lacks the basic necessities of currency. The exchange of bitcoins for goods, services, or financial assets is a barter...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It's definitely a speculative bubble. No question on that. It's also certainly not a ponzi scheme in the classic sense. What sets it apart from other speculative bubbles though is the ideology behind it and the evangelism of it's supporters, which creates a bizarre atmosphere that resembles...

    Arrow

    The first season does start a little flaky. It's entertaining, but the writing is hit or miss and there's not a lot of tension. The last few episodes they really start to hit a stride culminating in one of the best season finales in recent memory. Then season 2 hits the ground running and never...

    2013 NFL Season

    We get a lot of Wilcots in Cincinnati, and I don't really disagree that he says a lot of really dumb things. On the whole though, I like better than a lot of color guys if for nothing else he is occasionally interesting while being mostly innocuous even when saying dumb things. In direct...

    2013 NFL Season

    It's true. Fuck you Hines Ward. Anyways, just one of those games. Didn't think the Bengals were going to win, but didn't think they'd get blown out either. I'm gonna enjoy my beers and the rest of the game and reminisce about what it used to be like to be a Bengals fan.

    That's basically my thought, but I would also add that FCS guys tend to be really fucking good at evaluating talent, which is a huge boon at Texas.

    CFB 2013-2014

    Yep, Texas should be throwing money at unrealistic candidates. When they say no then I think they'd do well to take a look at FCS, which has a crazy amount of talent long overdue for the big leagues right now. There's probably 3 or 4 guys down there I'd take in a heartbeat over someone like...

    I think there are a lot of good options for Texas. It's going to be pretty fucking hard for them to fuck this up,but the magic of coaching searches is that schools find a way.

    2013 NFL Season

    It'll probably be a happy day for the Steelers tomorrow. The Bengals are so banged up on D right now, but it hasn't really slowed them down yet. Maybe Zimmer magics up another win with practice squaders, draft busts, udfa's, and aging vets, but he's gotta be stretched thin at this point.

    Apparently a lot of people in this thread didn't convert all their physics answers in college to the dumbest possible units. What's it like not enjoying life with your shitty easy to use metric units?
