That finale didn't salvage my opinion of the season. I liked how the show flat out said "Yeah, Margus wasn't going to get cut", and then sheepishly suggested 'But he's the closest thing to a personality we have, so here's more coverage of him'. I'm not sure Gio Bernard's name was actually...

Currently, my 360 has Red Ringed and my PS3 has Yellow Lighted. So I've said "Screw It", and am now sitting them both out until Sep '14 or later. Oh no, I won't be able to play the (underwhelming-looking) Knack until next year? How will I survive.

Yeah, there's a very good chance Payton is in "FUCK THE WORLD" mode, and the Saints' goal is 50 points per game. I've had them as a wildcard or better for this year since around this time last year. (Also, who knows how long Rodgers' OL will last.) Note: if the Saints defense is terrible...

Dude, just stop. Say "I forgot about the Giants. My bad." and not this "When I said a, I meant 'one and only one', and not 'at least one', like virtually everyone would assume" nonsense. Seriously man, what is going on with your posts this week. It's like you are stuck somewhere between...

Like hell you are. I'm running my crappy 10th pick down your throat.

For a (rational?) homer's perspective of Bears vs Packers, The historical angle: The Packers and (what would become) The Bears played their first game in 1921.That's almost a fucking century ago!Mygreat-grandfathergot into bar fights with Bears fans when FDR was president. FDR! I can't take...

While I admit the season isn't going as I expected (Mostly because I thought the show going "Okay Heisenberg, you can retire. Oh wait, no you can't." would be a narrative cheat, and so far it has been.), the: Hank and Jesse set trap for Walt. Todd and family set counter-trap there for Jesse...

I honestly don't know what to make of the Steelers. An optimist would say they just had an off year while two other teams in their division had strong years; they did have the best record for a non-playoff team in the AFC. A pessimist would say their issues are the same they've had for...

Oof, I may have to eat some crow. I thought Rex Ryan would last through the year, but I didn't realize until listening to Grantland's NFL Preview Podcast (which I heartily recommend, because again, I love me some Bill Barnwell), that prior to the Jets' Bye Week, in order, they face...

Vince Young Watch: 14 of 30, and a fumble. Most of those missed passes looked like absolute shit. The Packers win 2 games (maybe) without Rodgers.

Chiefs finally scored a TD. Was announced as "Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Te-Touchdown", total length a little under 10 seconds.

Judging from the ads, the announcers are Milwaukee guys they use for Spanish-language Brewers broadcasts. So the rhythms and cadences are the same as American broadcasts, just in Spanish. No TDs yet to verify. I will say that The Chiefs translate as "Los Jefes" (The Bosses)... which is a...

Not only am I watching a 4th preseason game to see just how bad Vince Young still is, but because of a local cable carriage spat, I have to watch it in Spanish on Telemundo. Dios mio.

Yeah, for adults bitching about the 2DS, it's totally just for 7 year olds or younger. No 3D to melt their eyes, no hinge for them to break, and what four year old has pockets big enough to hold a standard 3DS anyway? That's the price cut / SKU consolidation for the Wii U I was expecting, I...

I think the Saints are about as much a contender as the Bears (and I mean that honestly: both could win their divisions), and the Steelers only a bit less. With two games against the Bills and Jets each, the Dolphins probably have as much or more of a chance of a wildcard* than the Bears...

Because they have nothing else.How much Jheranie, how much "Sorry random kicker X, we have to let you go", how much "Reaction shots from WAGs or Guy Sitting At Home" coverage does an episode have to have before you see that there is no there there? I suspect that the producers did hit on some...

This season seems boring as hell. "Some WR that's only been there for a couple weeks, that we never bothered to mention before because he just doesn't matter, will be bumped up to 5 minutes of running time, because we have nothing else to air. Look, his name is spelled funny! Please keep...

I am still watching it for some reason. It just hasn't been worth mentioning. Wait - I couldn't believe last week that it looked like they were setting up a ATF Sting Operation parallel. But it sure looks like they'd do something that blunt. And of course Mustache Guy is "the killer". I...

I think that the love for both the Bengals and Falcons boils down to "Loss less from last year than everyone else." 49ers: Injuries. Seahawks: Injuries. Packers: Injuries. Redskins: Lucky to win division, will regress to mean. Vikings: Even AP can't stay that good this year; the rest of the...

If it make you feel any better, I don't think the Bengals (or Falcons, for that matter) have any real chance.

notsureifserious.jpg Even The Madness of Al Davis gave Kifffin and Shanahan 4 games. In this particular case, they had every opportunity to get rid of Ryan at the end of last season and didn't. I think he lasts the entire season. I wouldn't put a penny down on him being the coach at 5pm...

Judging from the summary of the Jets game, I may have been hasty in declaring the Raiders to clearly be the worst team in football.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more chatter about the ending. It's so out of left field (and arguably contradictory to the ending we got minutes before), it almost does seem like a homage toof all things.

Pretty sure every year we see people say the Packers are 6-10 without Rodgers. (This is wrong - I'm not sure they win 4 games without him*.) Every year I see too many people say "This is the year Packers get knocked out of playoff contention!" Why, exactly? Does anyone (aside from Chicago...

I think whoever drafts firstshouldtake Clowney. I don't think he's the preeminent defensive player of this decade though. But unless Pryor plays to the level of Cam Newton when he gets his starts, or Cutler gets bounced from the Bears and says "Fuck it, give me my money and I'll go through...

Again, preseason, but it's not just that they are bad, its also that the difference between them and the next worst team (Jaguars? Jets?) seems to be the biggest in the league. They aren't just the worst, they are worst by the biggest margin. In fact, they are so bad, I am going to throw...

I know its preseason and all, but watching the Giants, I have zero clue who wins the NFC East.

I can't believe people thought Brady couldn't cobble together an offense if even we were his WRs. I'm sure spending a flyer on Sudfeld, by the way.

I know its preseason and all, but Chargers sure look like they are getting a top 8 (5?) pick. So what QB should I expect them to go for there?

Watching this Bears' OL brings joy to my dark heart.

Of course there are no launch games worth picking up a system for. Arguably the last time that happened was Super Mario 64... back in '96.That's seventeen fucking years ago. In retrospect: Should anyone have bought a Wii U for NSMBU? Should anyone have bought a PS3 for Resistance? Should...

And has been pointed out on half the internet already, Ozumat, the end boss of the Throne of Tides CAT dungeon, is a "Fiend of the Dark Below".

The NFL wants to take further steps. The NFLPA doesn't want to take that step, though much like Bountygate, the only result of their opposition is a higher chance of injuries to the members of their Union! However, the NFLPA has no rational reason to oppose testing, and the only excuse they...

I think that this year's sales will be a lot closer than people think in the US (assuming yields allow it). Most of the Xbros I know are still keeping with the brand. Once April or so rolls around, then we'll get the one-sided results you guys are predicting. I still insist E3 2015 will be...

I just don't see how Walt and Hank circling each other for 7 episodes is sustainable, even with the "Jesse is a problem / Walt tries to bump off Jesse / Jesse becomes new Heisenerg" arc playing in parallel.

I don't think the Eagles are doing shit this year.IFthe system works in the NFL (and we have no evidence it will, yet), Kelly doesn't seem to have the personnel for it this year. I think the tail end of the 2014 and the 2015 seasons will be interesting, but I don't expect anything out of this...

I'm just watching the Bengals game fulltime on ESPN. It struck me that I've never watched a preseason game before Hard Knocks turned it into their coverage; I wanted to see what the producers' manipulations are like.

Unless Dalton's leg literally rips off on the practice field, I don't see how this is going to be great television. I mean, it's a reality TV show, they can manufacture story lines based on if certain charismatic newbies make it or not (much like half of Miami's Hard Knocks season last year)...

Nah, Matt Brown was undrafted. (For that matter, Coleman was 7th round in 2012, Harrell was undrafted.)

It's possible that GB will use VY for defensive practice, but I truly think that the larger part of it is just that the terrible tandem of Graham Harrell and BJ Coleman scares no one. (Especially since the OL will be patchwork again, and Rodgers won't by lucky forever.) If VY is better, one of...
