    I know they have two expansions, On the Brink and In the Lab that add some elements to the game but nothing like Risk Legacy, which would be awesome I think. I have not played Risk legacy myself but I've heard about it from a few people and most tend to enjoy it. It's still Risk, which in and...

    It's sounding more and more like pretty much no one thought he should play this week and that the only reason Cottrell didn't uphold the suspension is because of a technicality in the CBA that basically gives guys a clean slate after 32 games without an incident (his last one was pretty much...

    The decision to reinstate him and with that statement is almost a backhand slap against Suh and the Lions. Suh because the Lions readily admitted they aren't as good defensively without him in the game and the Lions because the NFL happened to agree with them. This is basically the NFL saying...

    Got three expansions for Smash Up (Chtulu, Awesome, Sci-Fi) which is good because the original 8 were getting stale. Also picked up Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Netrunner, and Catan Junior. Game nights just got a little bit better.

    There was another article over at Yahoo I think that talked about the impact those terrible divisions had on the playoffs. AFC North played both those divisions and contributed heavily toward three of the 6 participants in the AFC coming from that division. NFC East benefited from the AFC South...

    Melton's been kindamehfor the back half the season. For a guy with a $9m contract on the line he dropped off hard core. I mean, he had a sack incentive if he reached 6 sacks and was stuck at five for the last ten games.

    It's the same argument as when we go around on which QBs are the best. There are a handful who fit that criteria and every person is going to have a different answer year-to-year. You cannot, however, say that Dez isn't on the list of elite WRs.

    Agreed but getting tired of the maps. 3 years, 3 new maps. Arenas don't count, especially for regs because for them the game does nothing to try and balance groups (3 tanks 1 dps versus 3 healers, 1 dps.... sure why not). That's a pretty piss poor showing when it comes to PvP.

    Why is why it's going to be somewhat criminal when Rodgers wins. This is the same bullshit that goes into the Super Bowl MVP discussion. Dallas still has the only winner from a losing team (Chuck Howley) and that'll never change because of some unspoken rule that permeates the voters that...

    Beckham scares the shit out of me. One of those guys who just needs the ball in his general vicinity in order to haul it in. Eli's a pretty pedestrian QB by most standards but even he can't fuck that up.

    The point I'm mostly trying to make is that Rodgers didn't clearly have "the best" year out of any player in the league at his position. Romo beat him in a few categories, including QBR, Completion %, and yards per attempt. This is a far cry from 2011 when he was very clearly the absolute best...

    In a perfect world Watt would be MVP. I love that Romo is in the conversation but I read an article that said something like 9 QBs had over 30 TDs this year, which shattered the previous record at 5 in a year. Then I dug into the stats of it a bit more when it came to QBs. * 11 had over 4k...

    Are you nuts? You can say all you want about the team around him contributing but they sure as hell didn't get anything done without him on the field.

    He's playing it off (and appealing) as an accident but the reasoning the NFL gave is valid after looking at the replay. His reputation isn't helping either.

    I agree. Would give a huge edge to Dallas as well. They'll take care of business on Sunday. Watching post-game interviews, you can get a sense that they're not satisfied just to be in the playoffs. They want to make some noise and they have the players and the mindset to make it happen.

    Dallas gets the bye only if both Seattle and Arizona lose, which means winner of GB/Det gets 1st seed. Possible but unlikely. Arizona gets division and 1st seed if they win and Seattle loses. Seattle gets 1st seed if they win.

    I won't discount how the Seahawks are playing, but it's just as valid a point that Dallas played subpar teams on the road (minus Seattle) as it is to say Seattle has been playing subpar teams these last few weeks.
