You guys ready for the return of the Once and Future King, Matt Flynn, next week!.... Anyone? Maybe the Packers can squeeze out one win (between the Vikings and Falcons in Green Bay) before Rodgers comes back.

Big Ben is on fire in that prison jumper. Weird.

It's the usual stars vs. scrubs salary cap issue. They have, what, 8 guys taking up half their cap? If more than 2 of them get injured, you're done. Honestly, the last couple years suggest that depth is the biggest issue in the modern era, given how often people get hurt. (See San Fran...

I think God is punishing the Bears for their incompetence. "You injured the Packers out of the playoff race, and you're still going to lose the division to the Lions? No more football for you, you don't deserve it." I could do without the flooding in my basement that punishment is currently...

The Shield, especially for the time. Lost has a lot of supporters with the plane crash sequence.

Bah, just realized that 2299 puts it at only 21 years after F3 / 18 years after FNV. Was hoping for a different era - honestly, bouncing between super sci-fi MIT and the Wasteland (as rumored) might not be such a terrible idea.

I didn't say I wanted it on a console, I meant that I hope it is designed around systems with at least 5 GB of memory and decent graphics, and not designed for something that will be (at that point) a decade old. Hell, just for bug fixes alone you should be playing on PC.

Sure smells like a cinematic at the VGAs. As the game I was most bummed to not have an appearance at E3, about time. I sure hope it is next gen only.

Boo, I thought (barring some gruesome injury) we had come to some unspoken agreement that we weren't going to comment on this inevitable beatdown.

To repeat, the smallest gap between announcement and release was 9 months for Pandaria; I believe all the expansions have been in beta for at least 5 months before release. May is about the earliest reasonable date; September, maybe later, is the likeliest.

Yes, but I have a hard time imagining most of the account flows aren't: 1) Take existing level 90 to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). 2) Bump non-90 character to 90 and take to new territory (skip rebalanced territory). Sure, a handful of people will use the to-90 feature, check...

Well, the item squish needed to happen, probably now (boss health would soon get beyond an int data type @ 2.1 billion). The problem is I have no faith in their ability to correctly rebalance everything in the game anytime soon. (Is that the real stealth reason for the "Raise to 90 feature"...

Yeah, given the state we've seen things so far, I don't expect it before September at the earliest.

I'm pretty underwhelmed. The zones don't look different enough for me to care, and the idea of "fighting orcs everywhere all the time!" makes me sigh. (Hell, its the worst parts of Cata (rehashed stuff) mixed with the worst parts of SWTOR (same models everywhere). Blech.) I'll buy it and...

Any stat that is best until X then useless afterwards is going to be a disaster. Move speed just seems like a mess for pvp balancing.

"In addition to offering four tiers of difficulty as in Patch 5.4, we're also extending our Flexible Raid scaling technology to Normal difficulty raiding." So they are indeed flexing Normal, but keeping it a distinct difficulty.

I kinda like the idea of redoing the Outlands 58-70 quests because (I assume) this is a different timeline. Bumping the level cap to 100 says (to me) that they tossed their original "legion at 95, old gods at 100" plan after Titan blew up and a decade from now people will be running around at...

Uhh yeah, the division winners always get seeds 1-4. You could have a #5 seed be 15-1, if two teams in the same division beat everyone else and split the series.

No, it was all over but the crying. Well, more of a statewide "ffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccc ccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk" to be accurate.

Yeah, it's not like his presence (or not) on the field entirely decided this game or anything... There's a fairly good chance next week's Lions/Bears game essentially decides the division. Wacky.

Well, there are a lot of games available for both consoles. The problem being that most of those games are cross-generation, and are also available on PS3/360, with little solid information on how much better performing/playing the next-gen versions are. If you are talking next-gen only...

No, the NFL deadline is hard as hell, no trades are possible now until after the Super Bowl*. A team could release someone, eat the entirety of the current contract, and some other team could then sign them, but the original team wouldn't get anything for it. *Again, this is the first year...

There are times when the only "reasonable" explanation for a call is that someone upstairs decides the game is getting dangerously close to a blowout. That sure looked like one of those times.

Good lord AP is a goddamn train.

Nah, it is just as likely, if not more, that NBC has a whole bunch of new comedies again and Parks serves the fill-in role Community does this year after one of those future newbies fails.

Season 3 is a pretty strong litmus test for how committed you are to the show. Chaos Theory, Horror Fiction, Holiday Music, Lupine Urology, and Digital Estate Planning are pretty great episodes that were entertaining to casual fans. The Dreamtorium and Chang Takeover bits require a much...

It bears repeating: they play the NFC Least and the AFC South (Sour? I got nothing here) this year. Even that is understating it: they played the Titans' second string QB and play the Texans' third string QB. Aside from the Colts, the only games they have to worry about are in the division...

If you read the article, I'm not sure how any of it was Cleveland's fault with the (goofy) practice squad rules the league has. The real question is why the Packers still had him on their practice roster.

According to wikipedia, "If the blacked-out nationally televised game is on a cable television network such as ESPN or the NFL Network, all cable and satellite television providers in the affected markets, including the primary markets of both teams, must black out the cable network's signal to...

Yes, the NFL also gets the benefit of saying the extra bye is for health concerns. Though that may or may not be tied to one less pre-season game. Losing half a home game a year (5%) in local revenue (tickets and concession sales) may not be offset by less than a 5.8% increase in national...

If TNF was the only oddity, probably, but you also have the London games to worry about (up to three next season!). Historically, they've tended to tie those to bye weeks. (Whether they should or not is an interesting question. London games start at 1 Eastern, so it's not like players are...

The most reasonable proposal I've seen is that they add a second bye week to the season (which expands the number of TV airings and makes everybody more money), and everyone's TNF game is aired after that second bye week (so it is ~10 days before the TNF game, and ~10 days until their next...

I was a bit thrown about how the school's muscle had at least one mixed race dude (and certainly the guy who got the most camera time). I dunno if he will turn out to be related to the above somehow (why would he, 1 great-great-great-etc.-grandparent of a different race won't show up much in...

Welp, Amendola's out for another game and a half.

Oof, I think the Packers' season just ended.

I forgot to mention, I am always up for an avatar bet (even this week!). My rules though: I win, you don't have to change anything. You win, the avatar has to be wombat related. Ravens should have just gone for the field goal, I think.

No, they are saying The Millers' ratings situation looks great, which it is - it's on after The Big Bang Theory, and CBS has much bigger problems elsewhere (We Are Men was already killed after two episodes, they're trying to goose Mom with Big Bang Repeats, Two and a Half Men looks like a decade...

All those "most" stats should be divided by number of starts. 0.51 fumbles and 1.04 interceptions a game isn't great... barely better than Cutler's 0.63 fumbles and 1.08 interceptions, arguably worse than Romo's 0.53 fumbles and 0.94 interceptions. (Did I hit the ultimate trollfecta with...

You have to admit, the Jets haven't quit on Rex Ryan.
