    How dirty are college sports and the NCAA?

    The academic thing is hilarious to me. At what point to we just say we don't care that the athletes are "students" anymore? Does it really make a difference? I'm so much more entertained knowing that the All American wide receiver is sitting in class right now as opposed to doing whatever the...

    House of Cards

    I haven't started yet, and this will likely be my last visit to the thread for a while, but getting the Presidency to me seemed like it went a bit too far. I know it's based off the UK show, but I don't know...the appeal was him climbing the ladder. Where do you go from the top? Watching a...

    I thought the same thing. The guy seems to be pretty solid at everything so far. His only downfall might be coconut guy and his love for the other chick.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    If I had terminal cancer, I'd use my Make a Wish to drive The Ferrari. I feel bad for May that it was still wet on that track. Seriously though, I still contend that those 3 have the best job on the planet. Pretty fucking annoyed by Ferrari and McLaren's bullshit. I wanted them to be compared.

    I think those may have been from preliminary data mining (there was nothing for earth/thunder; from appinvasion). So far I haven't found a UBB that's worth actually using. Was hoping this was the first. Really, with the fucking 40 cost, the only ones I feel like are worth it are Feeva and...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Right, the kind of guys that are still benching under 2 plates, or curling 70 pounds...for years. If you're in the gym with a pump and I can barely tell you lift, why are you even bothering being in the gym (once again, only referring to the ones who I see doing the same crap for years). And...

    That drives me crazy. I don't know how they do it. I've seen the same people who have essentially plateaued in weight and size for at least a year+. I feel like if that were me, I'd start seriously reevaluating what I'm doing. If I don't see progress on something after at most 2 months, I...

    That's tough because all those dark units will get their shit pushed in by Maxwell. Zelnite is a good choice. Of the remaining ones you have there, I'd be tempted to go with Elza. If you have an infinite STBB'er though, I'd take that instead. If you manage to keep Darv's BB up all the...

    Granted, Brahma benches more than me, but I'm not sure what he's talking about with bench fucking up your shoulders. That just sounds like bad form. Keep your elbows at a 45 degree angle and stop trying to bench so high on your chest and they'll be fine. I've been complimented on my chest...

    Shera, Lucca, and Exvehl are worth leveling for sure. Lilith is a good unit, but outclassed, and Rin is decent for some stuff too. If I were you, I'd burn through some quests today and do some player's choice RS summons and hope to get Rosetta, Elza, Zelnite, and Lilly. An extra Shera...

    My wife stopped watching years ago (maybe season 2), and she's watching season 1 right now. Holy shit, I had completely forgotten the show started in the 50's. Fucking doo-wop music on right now. It's amazing how far it's come.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I just feel like you can either turn later round WR's into good ones if the rest of your team is solid, or you can grab a guy like Desean Jackson in free agency. Other examples would be Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson, Boldin, and (even though he's been terrible with Miami) Wallace. Plus...

    You mean the Bruce Allen who traded multiple firsts for RG3? Yeah, that's totally what I said. As far as a top 10 pick for an AJ Green/Julio Jones/Dez Bryant type player, I'm torn. I really see that as a luxury pick. If you're the Broncos of the last two seasons and your team is fucking...

    I'd never take one of those QB's in the first round. Same with a running back (speaking to the Richardson stuff above). Give me a traditional pocket passer like Luck, Ryan, Rodgers, etc, or I'd wait until the 2nd or 3rd. Top 10 pick, lineman. 11-20, linebacker or DB; possibly a can't miss...

    I was going to ask if people actually still got viruses anymore? I go to some pretty shady porn sites and I still don't get anything. Basically using a combo of Ghostery (although any ad blocker works) and Malwarebytes and I'm fine. I'll get something retarded like once a year that Malwarebytes...

    NHL 2014-15 Season Thread

    Every year around this time I look at the standings to find the Caps in the wild card spots and think "ok, they can probably overtake a team" and then I always notice they've got like 2-3 more games played than everyone else. Without fail, every year. What the fuck is that about? Like right now...

    Having lived in SoCal for the last 3 years, the Californians skit was fucking hilarious. But that's probably too small of an audience for that kind of extended joke.

    There's the car show you all wanted. I'm even more confused by the Land Rover thing (more than what Jeremy said) because they used a motor that wasn't even from the Land Rover. It could've been any car really.

    Right, because they were poor kids who grew up and were handed a shit ton of money. It's got nothing to do with the money and everything to do with financial illiteracy.

    Straight Outta Compton

    Should have told me the trailer started like a minute in. Was expecting an NWA bio-pic and was like, wtf is this, a documentary of Dre/Cube driving around? Looks like it'd be a good time. I'm worried that it'll be too serious though. More pool parties, less AIDS deaths.
