    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Barnes needs to be more aggressive. He can drive to the post with the best of them, but I feel like he settles for jumpers too often. He can do that pretty well also, but he doesn't take advantage of his athleticism, size and speed enough. If everyone stays healthy, he's a great sixth man...

    What is the preferred music player? I have a playlist of around 2,500 songs that I like to play on shuffle, but most music players have terrible randomization algorithms that leads to repeats or a "preset" order that ends up being predictable over time. I even keep the playlist updated...

    I'm really fucked up right now, and not sure where to post it so here you go.

    It's sad to hear parents think of Scouts that way. I was in Boy Scouts and it was a wonderful experience. It really does prepare you for life. I am one of the most prepared people on any given trip or outing. Plus, it can toughen you up. Camping in Ohio in February ain't no pussy shit.

    It's good to see how awesome the Warriors are when the starters are healthy. The last Western Conference team to beat the Heat in their house was...the Warriors last year.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    I'll have to pick up some of that guitar honey. I typically use Murphy's to clean my fretboard. I'd obviously prefer for something that was made for ebony/rosewood.

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I just finished reading the Kluwe article. After Huber was placed on IR because the Steelers are a bunch of assholes, the Bengals brought in Kluwe for a tryout. I would have dug signing him, but I think his outspoken personality did him in. At least he knows it.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

    You're right about the latter half of the game and how the story changes. There are too many "gotcha" moments. The story isn't what kept me in this game though. Being a badass did that.

    Sherlock

    I need to re-watch yesterday's episode. I agree with Running Dog that they slid the explanation for how he faked his death under the rug. I guess it's just Sherlock being Sherlock and that's the valid explanation? The gay jokes are still funny.

    The game in GB on Sunday will likely be below zero once the sun goes down. That certainly swings things in GB's favor.

    I hope the Bengals don't come out with the same mentality I have. I don't see the Bengals losing if they continue to play at home the way they have all year. They're averaging 34 points a game while only allowing 17. That differential is by far the largest in the NFL. More than Seattle, New...

    I think Indy will win this week as well. Indy over KC Cincy over SD Philly over NO GB over SF The SF-GB game is the most intriguing to me.

    It's not in KC. It's in Indy.

    It's hard to ignore the fact that Cincy hasn't won a playoff game in 23 years, but it's hard not to pick them for the win. The Bengals are pretty good at home.

    Isn't defense Frazier's thing? He was a solid DC in Cincy for a couple years.

    Very happy to see the Chargers going to Cincinnati. I didn't want to see the Steelers despite how not-good they are.

    Sometimes I think AJ Green doesn't give it his all. He should have had another TD catch but the effort was pretty lackluster.

    Hey! Carson Palmer lit it up at one point! Boomer and Ken Anderson weren't too shabby either.

    I need to come in here to defend my boy Dalton. The INTs really hurt Dalton's case (he's thrown six more than Brady) but other than that he's been comparable or better than Brady this season. Higher Y/C, way more TDs, far less sacks, higher completion rate and similar in yardage. You'd be a...

    He overuses the medieval sound. I can't stand him. Obviously talented, but he's over the top.

    Cowboys/Eagles is game of the week without a doubt. Eagles up 2, 1:01 left in the game. Cowboys have the ball and they drive to the Eagles 45-yard line. You know what happens.

    Kiko Alonso is going to be DROTY. No doubt. I don't think any other rookie even comes close. Rookies aren't eligible for POTY awards, right? MVP is more or less the Best QB of the Year Award these days. I don't see how Manning won't get it. Between OROTY and DPOTY, I hope a Bengals...

    I walked out of a movie once when I was a junior in high school. I went with my newly acquired freshmen girlfriend and we left so we could fuck in the parking lot. I still haven't seen the rest of Hellboy.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Hearing the sympathy and support people receive during divorce always reminds me of that Louis CK bit. 0% of happy marriages have ended in divorce.

    As Jait mentioned, Christmas is always NBA. I don't know the last time three teams from the AFC West made playoffs, but three teams from the AFC North made playoffs in 2011.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Toy dogs are typically much more aggressive than big dogs, but they get away with it because they're weak as shit. Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Papillons. Bunch of assholes.

    Disp is right. I don't really recall seeing Ambiturner around here until this year. There have always been a decent number of 49ers fans here - opiate, Disp, Kirun, Phaezel, Evelys (lol). Isn't the dude in Montana a 49er fan too?
