I just assume any long term fan of the Bengals (or Browns, or Jaguars) had long since turned to multiple drug use.

Well, the show has struggled to find uses for both characters. I liked the original idea of Chris, as a smiling incompetent Good Cop (whose actual work was done by Bad Cop Ben), but that was too mean-spirited for this show. Instead he just turned into this source of endless optimism... which...

Linder ended up as expected. Speaking of which, last week's timing on the chief's "Think Harder, Audience!" speech happened like clockwork, as we got our first reversal this week. I'm just about ready to dock the show points for making The Bridge "Killer" so obviously Tim Cooper (the tech...

At this point, even a Gamecube-level subsistence seems out of reach. Remember, the distinguishing feature of the system (the bottom half of a DSi as controller) keeps the console expensive (according to Nintendo, anyway), eliminating the option of a $99 budget box. As for software, you've...

And I think I say this every year: No, it's about average. ACLs just stick out since they are the easiest injury to get (hell, they can be non-contact, even) that knock you out for a year. And I also say this every year: Is there really no way to rejigger training camp to lessen these ACL...

I don't know about safe. MoP came out in Sep of 12, and since BC, the most they've gone is 25 months. (Plus virtually all of the Titan people are, in theory, available for work inside Blizzard.) If anything, an announcement at Blizzcon, a beta server starting that day (which every Blizzcon...

Now now, be nice. It's the only time the Cowboys' fans have to be hopeful until next training camp.

Dear internet (here and elsewhere): Stop being stupid. In both MS and Sony's case, it's not reservedforthe OS, it's reservedbythe OS. The only way to assume a game will run correctly along with one or more of the the non-game things modern consoles do (Twitch streaming / Kinect camera /...

Eli's situation is just too fluid for me to guess at. He's got three years left on the deal; he'll be around 35 when it ends. If the Giants get deep into the playoffs, sure, I see a couple year extension, but otherwise I see them sitting on it, especially if a new coach comes in. As to the...

Strikes me as extremely dumb. Theworstcase for making him play out the year is a Flacco situation - but they just gave him Flacco money anyway! (Note: I think the Falcons' championship window is closing - and a bunch of money tied to Ryan won't help matters.)

I wasn't expecting them to confirm (or name) the white ringleaders this early. I wasn't expecting the police chief to say "Hey dipshits, none of the story we've given you so far lines up!" either, but the internet as a whole isn't catching on. One thing I forgot to mention last week was the...

Well, it's the old argument of consistency vs. peaks. I don't think there were any outright bad entries this year; there were also no outstanding episodes. Bot Seeks Bot was good, but it was no Victor Echo November or Operation PROM.

The internet suggests that the made-for-DVD movie they had planned would have aired between Season 5 and 6, which also explains why tonight wasn't very finale-riffic. Instead of the DVD movie, we are getting 12 episodes for Season 6, with the first two being bigger in scope (though with this...

Is it just me (or The Killing guilt by association), but does this smell like the kind of show where every plot twist is going to be preposterous? The Bridge Killer is actually Immigration Batman, using his surveillance knowledge to get back at the cartels. It will turn out he killed neither...

Well, you usually get 4+ team turnover, but that's leaguewide; last year, 5 out of 6 AFC teams repeated, including all 4 divisional champs repeating. I'm the most vocal person saying the Colts won't be back, but it's not impossible that they beat out the Dolphins and Steelers for the last WC...

The Jets are only screwing up his development if he is able to go in and start Week 1. Which we have no evidence for. Then again, I am already on record as saying "The Jets fucked up." Either they had to have: No Rex and no Sanchez, with a full regime change. OR Rex and Sanchez and no new...

Some guy on The AV Club points out that "Where is my wife? I think the plane is going down." Monarch's parents died in a plane crash. Which means that (for once), Monarch is not related to a Venture.

Same here - money and keepers only work well in person, in my experience.

NFC North: Packers South: Saints East: Giants West: 49ers Wildcards: Falcons, Seahawks AFC North: Bengals South: Texans East: Patriots West: Broncos Wildcards: Ravens, Dolphins I think Falcons slip past the Bears to get the wildcard. At this point anyway.

Yeah, it's underappreciated, but schedule matters tremendously in a league with so few games per season. Sure, the strength of schedule balancing evens things out over thelong termof multiple years, but on aseasonalbasis, getting, say, the weak AFC division and the weak NFC division can lead to...

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either, but looking at the list, only that 28-24 stunner against the Seattle Seahawks last season qualifies. (There are a good number of wins vs. 8-8 teams, and Drew Stanton was at the helm for their upsets at the end of 2010.) Personally, I put this into the...

I went into it knowing that it was essentially an archeologist/anthropologist's extremely detailed D&D (specifically, Forgotten Realms) setting, which helped immensely. Seeing magical analogs to neanderthals, ice ages, etc. was neat, and I found it interesting that as the books progressed, he...

And I'm pretty sure it was because NBC killed every single new comedy they tried this year (6 of them!), already had The Office and 30 Rock ending, and finally put Up All Night and Whitney out of their misery. (Just so we're clear, not counting Community, NBC only hadonecomedy - out ofeleven...

Actually, sort of yes: both shows are adaptations of Danish TV shows, the American versions run by women who used to work on Cold Case. The Bridge is getting far better reviews than The Killing, however, and seems well worth your time to check out, especially given the slim TV pickings in the...

Wasn't one of the last things Harmon-ity did was move Troy into the air conditioner repair school? While the other guys didn't do anything with the concept (or even mention it?), Harmon could just write off Glover's availability as him off being AC Messiah again. Honestly, I feel bad for...

I'm not subscribed atm, but I wanted to see the 5.3 time-limited stuff before it poofed. 1) How long does the only-during 5.3 stuff (a one time quest line in orgrimmar and daily stuff in barrens I will do once, apparently) take? 2) Any rough estimate on when 5.4 is coming out (and thus...

Well, football players do get endorsement deals, but less than other sports: 1) There's 22+ players on the field every game for football, vs. 5+ for basketball. (There are also 32 NFL teams vs 30 NBA/MLB, but that's a tiny difference.) There's just more players out there splitting the ad deals...

Weren't the Bengals the team in just 2009, and there was no 2011 entry? Are there really only three teams now crazy/dumb enough to sign up for it? (Cue jokes about Mike Brown being desperate to come up with more money now that there's a much higher salary floor here.)

I'm surprised people are surprised about X1 bans too. Haven't there been enough horror stories regarding the same situation with Origin?

What's to lol about? Given how recently Windows 8 came out, I certainly hope MS had dev kits out before then. Also, Direct X 11 is available on both OSes.

Eh, there's enough going on there with the muscles and the fur. But yeah, we are nearly at the point where art budget, not graphical power, is the limiting factor. I'm not sure how any new consoles fix that.

Again, just so everyone is clear: The 3DS was actually selling better than the DS did in the first ~18 months. However, it was around this point that DS sales exploded (the DS lite was introduced around now); in contrast, 3DS sales are already shrinking vs last year, though you can certainly...

"Well" is a loaded statement. Are (most of) the games and the system doing as well as last gen? No. Are they selling enough for the company to survive? Absolutely. It's already the next-gen that interests me for them now. Like I said, even Gamecube level sales now seem to be out of their...

That's exaggeration, but not much: Super Mario 3D World, which looks like Super Mario 3D Land, but with multiplayer. Sure it will be great, but not exciting. Mario Kart, which looks like Mario Kart. Retro's new game... is indeed Donkey Kong related. Too bad it's just another Donkey Kong...

For first party, I believe the official list is Knack, Driveclub, and Killzone, with Infamous 3 in early 14.

Honestly, its too early to tell, as I don't know how many indies / small team games will be tied to which consoles (with no PC version). But until I know that, PC still wins, even if the PS4 seems like a solid value at $400.

Can't tell if troll or not. For argument's sake, just which features are those? Honest question. All I can come up with is that Kinect 2 is certainly better than the new Playstation Eye, and MS has a bigger checkbook to buy exclusives. (Also, nearly everyone prefers Halo to Killzone.) Edit...

Lolz, just pouring more dirt on MS' corpse.

This banter is killing my soul. Pretty sure its the worst this year.
