I have a problem with using the word Sprint when it comes to do with anything related to coding. I know this is a mindset but my mind translates "Sprint" into "Rush" and ends up with shit like late night bug-offs to meet a deadline that might not have been achievable in the first place (I saw...

That's a fair assessment. And in that respect you're right that Wilson and Lynch are complementing one another. Wilson really reminds me the most of Steve Young, a true threat as a runner and a passer. He does need to keep up with the latter part though, as any QB who makes it past 30 can attest...

This played into Dallas' success last year as well. Toward the end of the year teams actually started to focus on Murray and that's when Romo stepped in and had his best series of games. They really turned into a multi-threat offense. You had to respect both the run and the pass because they...

That's only because you don't believe in Chip Kelly. BELIEVE!!

DT agrees to virtually the same contract as Dez, but with $35m guaranteed, $70m total, 5 years.

Stephen has done a good job over the past 5 years wrangling the cap into a manageable standpoint so I don't fear the contract. They're going to get their money's worth either way, plus they're paying him in his prime. If it were his 3rd contract I'd be extremely wary but this is fine.

They are. $45m guaranteed, $70m total, 5 yrs. Not quite "Cowboy for life" but I imagine there's some built in room for a further extension in 2-3 years.

I'll believe he's innocent when he turns over his phone. The NFL has software which allows them to cherry pick the data they get. It's what they used as part of the Ray Rice investigation. No phone, then no presumption of innocence. edit: also:

Stephen took the checkbook away. Also:Kansas City Chiefs sign Justin Houston to landmark deal $52.5m guaranteed (as usual, the rest is Monopoly money). I don't know what to think about that.

*twitch*

I know those feels bro.

I like the intro with Waller and Harley asking if she's the devil. Dunno about this one overall though. DC stuff has been disappointing since TDK.

I can understand that I guess. But I'm not sure more than a small handful of QBs could have taken that team much further. Yeah. Deadline is Wednesday though. And I don't think it's Dez really showing this card. It would eat him up inside to miss out on things like Training Camp and games in the...

Are they looking for the glory days of Jon Kitna to come back or something? I mean you could absolutely do worse than Dalton.

I'm just griping. The code works, but it's sometimes difficult to follow. Didn't someone say a while back that Indian coders write shitty code? I have 10 apps worth of Indian coding.

Well the code itself already exists within a try/catch since it calls some IO methods. And again, even if you don't try to catch a Nullpointer by moving a check through an if statement, there should be an indication somewhere that, hey, the value was null so nothing was done. I've already run...

Fan-fucking-tastic.

How could you hate Hellboy?

There was evidence to support the fact that something happened but the DA didn't have enough without the victim to continue on to a Jury Trial without her. Which is where my bullshit'o'meter went off when it came to the NFL's punishment.

Obligatory

No kidding. I was expecting 6. With 4 I wonder if he and the NFLPA take his any further.

Suspension of Cowboys DE Greg Hardy reduced | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports Misses first contests against the Giants and Iggles but comes back for the tilt against New England, which, if Brady's suspension holds, will be Brady-less.

I can see that, though it defeats the purpose of making the check if there's no follow-up indication of the check failing, which is the case here.

Most of them are "if (x != null)" tests before it continues on. I feel like that's why you surround things in a try/catch.

Are nested if-statements a thing? I don't want to criticize given my newb status when it comes to development, but I'm looking at something that's 9 if-statements deep and wondering if things just got out of hand or what.

It's nearly impossible to turn things around if you're consistently mediocre in the NBA. You almost need to have one or two lottery style seasons coupled with good personnel moves in the offseason to turn things around. Unfortunately, I think Cuban keeps trying for Dirk's sake. Once Dirk hangs...

Tony St... I mean Elon Musk hasn't made one yet.

Sounds like they're aiming for an MMO Hail Mary. Making all content, no matter when it was released, relevant and worth playing.

Yeah, that's a pretty safe bet. A lot of times the reason some things get adjusted/changed is legal based, especially things like that. I've read anecdotes from scriptwriters where they were forced to change a character name because "legal said so".

If you try to grab something without using your index finger, all the pressure and strength flows from the other side of the hand, which is the weakest side. With your index finger it's more spread out. Now if he's just going for leverage without trying to grab, the drop off won't be as much...

Watt voted #1 by the players. Top 100 Players of 2015 NFL Videos As if it could be anyone else.

The JPP one amazes me since he's not under contract. They franchised him but he hasn't signed the tender yet. They already pulled the long term contract offer.

This. For the teams that have franchise QBs, they spend the most on that investment. Seattle won't let him walk. If they do I guarantee a team like Buffalo will snatch him up, pay him market rate, and never think twice about doing it.

One of the things I like about the Cowboys bloggers over at SB Nation is that a couple of them do a really good job of putting things into perspective, essentially comparing current Cowboys players to their contemporaries around the league. Usually by combining stats gathered via PFF, PFR and...

Last 72 hours to pledge.

Don't remember the exact passage but Scalzi had something in Old Man's War where the new recruits were shown two aliens, one that looked like gross insect people and one that looked like deer. When asked to identify the enemy they naturally went for the insect people. Then the instructor...

Not for nothing but thanks for letting Marinelli walk. Dallas D wasn't a complete shitshow last year and that's after losing their top 3 defensive players in the offseason. He's a big reason why.

Because someone had to.

Heh, no. Couldn't get basic file utility methods to work and everything on StackOverflow basically told me to do something I had already done. Since I'm basing this off an existing app, I just copied over permissions and reran the app until the methods worked. Which just so happened to be after...
