    Romo just added 10 yards to his own sack. Impressive.

    The Steelers offense is so reliant on Ben's ability to escape the pocket. I can't wait until he's too old to compete. The Steelers are a .500 team at best without him.

    Naw, that was worth it. It's nice to revisit that. Goes to show you actually do have the intelligence level of Cathan. Although to be fair, I guess it is still possible for the Seahawks to go 11-5.

    It blows my mind how many offenses don't get their asses to the line and snap the ball when the refs obviously fucked up a call that worked in the offense's favor.

    Did the announcer seriously just go for a pun and say "Watt a performance from that young man" when the camera panned to JJ?

    Has a team ever had such a turnaround season as the Colts? I can see them going 11-5. They're making this a game for a Texans and they play each other again in two weeks in Indy. I could see Indy pulling off a win.

    The Ravens offense is fucking pathetic. I will not be surprised at all if the Steelers or Bengals end up winning the AFC North.

    The Broncos aren't giving the run game enough love. Ravens D is looking stout in spite of all the injuries. Of course, Manning always takes a quarter or two to figure out defenses.

    Of course I'm not suggesting to go out and splurge $1500 in pedals, but I just wanted to bring up the paths I took to get to that point. I don't think buying a distortion pedal alone and outright is the best move. That's why I suggested that DigiTech multi effects processor. It's not a huge...

    2012 NFL Season

    I don't foresee the Ravens beating the Broncos. A lot of the teams with the best records (Ravens, Texans, Falcons) look like the worst of the "good" teams on a week-to-week basis. And the Broncos haven't let up since the first few weeks of the season. The offense is starting to click and they...

    Really enjoyed this tune. Definitely going to pick up that album. Sounds like a pretty great star-studded lineup.

    Definitely part of the fun. There are most certainly some best practices, but there really aren't any rules. I think the only true golden rule is have your tuner be the last pedal in the chain. That way, if you have an awful hum or something goes awry with your board, you can use the tuner as...

    There are a ton of approaches to the pedalbaord madness. If you just started playing, then I'd just go for one of the lower levelDigiTech multi effect processors. I started out with something similar then upgraded to theDigiTech GNX3. A few years later I just wasn't into that digital sound...

    2012 NFL Season

    I love that they changed the schedules around a couple years ago. Weeks 16 and 17 are the most important now where before a team could run away with a division and sit everyone because there were no division games left. Some of these games normally wouldn't mean much at all, but the...

    Murders and Shootings

    9/11 was devastating here. I see no problem with that statement. Thousands of lives lost in a single event. The largest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Plus, I was a freshman in high school at the time and that event was, and still is, hard to fathom. I keep getting teary-eyed...

    I agree with this. Probably my favorite poker room in Vegas. The Planet Hollywood poker room is solid, too.

    Kids? or No kids?

    You might think of it that way, but maybe the person lying on their deathbed was able to go on that African safari they always wanted to go on, start their own business or pick up and move to another country. Perhaps those memories alone make it all worth it in their mind.

    Psy sang about killing americans before Oppa Gangnam Style.

    I would say less than 1% of the population is certainly too small to matter. Considering over 15% of America is atheist and it is perhaps the most ignored demographic in government; there is what...one declared atheist in Congress?

    Singularity. At first, it seems like almost a run of the mill FPS until you start unlocking god powers with the TMD (sort of an all-encompassing device used to solve puzzles and own enemies). Once you have that, the game gets much more fun. I also really like the atmosphere with the time...

    Neither of these are the issue in Cathan's case. In fact, it's the opposite. I'm not a father. So my opinion doesn't hold much water, but I'd like to echo a couple sentiments above about treating the kid like an adult. Kids appreciate that. It shows a level of respect that they will no...
