Yeah, its kind of the same notion as the Patriots cheating. Anyone else, not really a big deal. Have a history of cheating already? Huge ordeal. Petrino has a history of extreme douchebaggery & lying, so when he acts like a douche & lies again he gets massive backlash.

Yep, kids basically HAVE to go pro after their 1st or 2nd year whether they actually want to or not, otherwise everyone wonders what is wrong with them and their draft stock usually plummets.

The thing is, no one likes it when a kid renegs on a commitment at the last second, or when a coach does it to a kid, but most people tend to hold a 50-year old professional to a little higher standard than a 17 year old teenager. It's not right when either does it, and both do, but the...

You can get really good 24" 1080p monitors for ~$200, and good 27" 1080p monitors for ~$250 anymore. Obviously lower quality ones can be had for even less than that. Decent 27" 1440p monitors are in the $300-$350 range.

The NBA needs to step in and adopt the same ruleset as MLB. You either go pro right out of high school, or you're in college for 3 years minimum. Let the Lebron James and Kobe Bryants go pro, the truly elite can handle it. But one-and-dones are hurting both college, and the NBA. You used to...

Yeah, if you think sites like WebMD are bad for trying to self-diagnose ailments(everything is cancer), pregnancy sites are 100 times worse. anytime your wife feels a little weird, she'll do some googling and within 10 minutes be in tears convinced that she's either about to miscarry or that...

Well, its officially over, we had a good run while it lasted. Kiddo has his first cold...almost made it to 2 without getting sick, just needed a couple more months. I think it's probably from the Super Bowl party that we went to last weekend, there was a good half dozen snotty little kids...

Here are the final ESPN class rankings, for what it's worth Not sure what's up with their +/- system, some teams made HUGE leaps but aren't listed as moving much. Florida came out of goddamn nowhere to secure a pretty good class, they got a couple 5-star guys to choose them fairly late...

Mizzou has alumni banquets shortly after signing day where you can go, have dinner with the coaches and some recruits, listen to the coaches talk about the recruits, meet the kids, etc. I used to attend those every so often, met Aldon Smith as a 17-year-old coming out of high school(was quiet...

The general number that I see thrown around a lot is that Google estimates it will increase individual home property values by an average of 2-3%. While that doesn't sound like anything earth-shattering, who wouldn't pay a $300 install fee in order to be able to sell their house for $3000-$5000...

That LG monitor is basically just a 27" 1080p monitor that is roughly 1/3 wider than normal. Its like 1.33 1080p monitors. Honestly, I don't see the point unless you flat-out can't fit 2 monitors into the space you are working in, as 2 good 1080p monitors would be not only cheaper, but MUCH...

I would like to eat a reindeer.

Looks like a solid build. I would seriously consider a 4GB 290x video card for ~$230. It's significantly more power for not much more money, probably last you a good 6-12 months longer than a 960.

Interesting After Signing Day, Wisconsin Makes The Best Of Its Recruits | FiveThirtyEight

How is AP the exception when he isn't even 30 yet?

That QB, Kai Locksley, is interesting. Seems like a lot of big programs were recruiting him as an athlete and planned on converting him to another position, I wonder if he'll stay as a QB at Texas or end up as a WR or Safety or something before it's all said and done.

We had 1 player that technically flipped from us to LSU, but he's about to have a boatload of qualifying trouble, so no big loss. Apparently he attended a high school owned by Deion Sanders, LOL. LSU flips Missouri WR commit Brandon Martin Martin was a student at Deion Sanders' Prime Prep...

In other news, BYU signs a 6;7" 410-lb player

I enjoy the actual finalizing of the classes, so we can stop talking about rumors, who is flipping who, etc, but the little press conferences have become ridiculous. I don't need to see some kid with a stack of hats in front of him pretending to put one on, and then switching to another at the...

Thanks. It's odd how drastically different the recruiting services are. ESPN has Beckner as a 5-star, #2 overall recruit in the country, and Rivals has him as a 4-star, #36 recruit, and 247 is in-between at having him #13 overall. Regardless, if he's anywhere near as good as the last 5-star...

And unfortunately for Chiefs fans, Jamaal Charles is in the same boat, he'll be 29 next season. He's almost done

NFL Career leading rushers: name - yards 1. Emmitt Smith+ 18,355 2. Walter Payton+ 16,726 3. Barry Sanders+ 15,269 4. Curtis Martin+ 14,101 5. LaDainian Tomlinson 13,684 # of 1000 yard seasons after age 30, % of yards gained after 30 1. Emmitt Smith+ 2, 24% 2. Walter Payton+ 4, 39%...

I'd say no. A $200+ premium just for a version of a card that overclocks a bit better? No way. As an alternative, I'd either wait for the inevitable 980Ti that'll probably launch around the $700-$800 price point, or buy a ~$500 980 now, and add a second one next year when they drop the price...

Ah, missed that, thanks.

So, Tornado Shot and Shield Charge Nerf, and they BUFFED Arc? Jesus, like it wasn't already overpowered. Whats the ETA on Act 4 again? April?

Agreed, the only 5-stars that generally see the field as Freshman are usually WR and RB, positions where the main commodity is speed and agility, which time in the weight room isn't going to change significantly. It's really, really rare that a lineman or linebackers can come straight out of HS...

It's a more expensive version of those "Who's Who" books, where you pay $100 for a huge, dictionary-sized hardbound book where your name & location is listed in 3-point font on page 1138. ITS A MAJOR AWARD

I honestly can't tell a difference between any of the mass-produced light beers. Bud light, Miller lite, coors light, it all tastes the same, beer-flavored water.

You *might* see some issues if you are doing 4K gaming with SLI 970s, but you're never really going to push a single 970 to use it's full 4GB of memory anyways, so its a moot point with a single card playing games at appropriate resolutions. A single 970 can't play games decently at 4K, so...

The scariest part about looking at recruiting rankings isn't the fact that Alabama is #1 for like the 5th year in a row, but look at how FAR ahead they are of even #2. The total point difference in those various ranking systems show a bigger gap between Alabama at #1, and whoever they have at...

That's pretty much Mizzou every year. We've snuck into the low 20s recruiting classes a couple times in the past decade but our classes are almost always in that 25-40ish range. We definitely do more with less. We should end up well into the top 20 this year though if the #2 recruit in the...

The Raid was almost like some crazy anime/dragonball over the top action. I did like a few of the hallway scenes, as some mentioned above, but the "big" fight scenes just became too farcical after a few minutes.

Seriously, when a woman is pregnant, that's like a get-out-of-jail-free card for work. Call your boss, say you're sick, no one will think twice about it when you're pregnant.

Budweiser's anti-Micro Brew Super Bowl commercial

Time Warner Cable's 97 Percent Profit Margin on High-Speed Internet Service Exposed

The only thing that baffled me during the game was why Seattle kept leaving that LB, #50, to cover Gronk. He just kept getting burned again and again and again. Everytime Gronkowski caught a pass, I'd say "50 got burned again" and sure enough, they'd show the replay of #50 just letting Gronk...

Signing day is 2 days away, folks. Here are how the top 25 recruiting classes look as of today, it'll be interesting to see what changes after the official signing day.

Facebook Friend just named their first kid "Canyon". WTF. I guess if nothing else, at least it was a boy, that would be an even more terrible name for a girl.

Goddamnit IPT, get your shit together and get back going again. I had to use pirate bay like a goddamned peasant to download a couple of TV shows last night.

I bought a family size box last Sunday. It was gone by Thursday. It's crack in a box.
