    Should I buy a Wii U? Looking for pros and cons.

    I got a Wii U for Christmas and I just blindly ordered Wonderful 101 based on the reviews here. Looking forward to playing some new games. I only have the 2D Mario - which is great, but it's not exactly next-gen gaming.

    2013 NFL Season

    Frank Gore had an entire yard more per carry than Parker and Jackson and more than that against Johnson (both of them). I'm not sure what metric you're using to determine that ranking, but I'm looking at the big picture here. 5.4 yard per carry is really, really fucking good. Gore had the...

    May is a good time to go to Yosemite. The waterfalls should be looking good at that time. If we get any precipitation, that is.

    London Fletcher never missed a start as a LB for 16 seasons. I don't know if they look at that, but that's insane.

    If Frank Gore isn't a HoF candidate, then I too think RBs are done unless you're Purple Jesus-like. Only other RB in the past 15 years I can think of with production comparable or better than Gore are Corey Dillon, LaDainian Tomlinson (162 TDs!) and Steven Jackson.

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    Dalton has been to the playoffs every year he's been in the NFL. The Bengals only had two playoff appearances with Carson Palmer. Dalton's young. He finished only his third year. I can say I'm frustrated with him, but I can't discredit the wins we've gotten with him. The first half of the...

    It's gonna be Guenther. I honestly don't want Jim Schwartz. Every 3rd & 1 would be a guaranteed offsides jump. The man lacks discipline. This is the worst news of the morning. Jackson needs to bring consistency to the offense because I don't think our defense will be nearly as good.

    2013 NFL Season

    Frank Gore has been one of the most consistent RBs I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. When you think about any other RBs in recent years, there's no doubt he's a Hall of Famer - unless you have to be Adrian Peterson level to be considered. With the exception of his rookie season and another...

    At least we didn't dole out a shitty contract to Dalton. Yet. I wouldn't say the window is closed. Almost every good player is locked up for some time and the team is young as fuck. Jermaine Gresham is one of the older guys on offense he's 25. I'm more worried about how much the defense...

    I don't know. Bengals schedule is tough next year. CAR, DEN, @NE, @NO, @IND. Then we also have ATL and HOU who surely should have bounceback seasons. Not to mention what will likely be improved Ravens and Steelers teams. Bengals won't likely have Texans/Falcons level of collapse, but I can...

    /r/nfl/ seems to think that the Bengals will be the Falcons/Texans of the 2014 season. That makes me sad.

    NE doesn't have an incredible offense. They just look incredible against mediocre defenses. 49ers and Seahawks could easily hold the Patriots to less than 14 points.

    Yeah, and the 49ers just beat two playoff teams in a row in their house. Regular season doesn't mean anything anymore.

    He's fucking awesome and I'll be bummed if the Vikings get him - which is pretty likely at this point. Fucking Seahawks and 49ers winning. I was hoping Vikings would take Greg Roman. I just have no idea who Zimmer would choose to be his coordinators. Hue Jackson was his OC candidate and now...

    Only somewhat related, but this reminds me of a friend who wore an all-white tux with a pink tie to junior prom. The entire night he insisted "It's not pink, it's salmon!" after we would make fun of him about it. Which, of course, we all thought was hilarious. 10 years later and that's still...

    Looking for a decent Keyboard

    I used to gig with a DGX. Nothing wrong with them at all. They still have the 1/4" outputs. I eventually upgraded to a Yamaha MM6. There are a lot of synths in the $500-ish ballpark of solid quality. The Yamaha MM6 is great because it contains a subset of the Yamaha MOTIF workstation...

    I'm going to pay attention more to the Redskins next year than I should. I'm curious to see how Gruden handles the HC position and how that will affect offensive playcalling. I'm ready to watch bad football.
