    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I thought we were talking about QB's drafted in the first round? It doesn't cost much for your franchise to take an UDFA QB from Eastern Illinois and have him sit for a year or two. It's completely different to spend a first round pick, or multiple picks, on a guy and have him sit.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yeah, it's not the 80's and 90's anymore. Rodgers is about the only exception of recent QB's that have sat their rookie years, and that's mostly because they had a franchise QB already and it just so happened the follow up guy was good.

    It's really hard to tell what they actually look like with all the photoshopped effects. For all I know, that Chargers one is what their uniforms already look like.

    16 TM Custom 3 Keeper Super Serious League

    I'm hoping I can manage to win 2 games before Brady comes back. Right now I'm just really fucked with only 1 QB. Rest of my team is by far the most solid I've had though. Lamar Miller and Deangelo Williams were a good tandem. Deandre Hopkins and AJ Green should crush it all year. Alex Smith...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    It's like they're taking their cues from Oregon. Their current uniforms (dark blue with neon green) weren't my favorite, but they're acceptable now. Going all in on neon seems retarded though. I do wonder about how much of an advantage/disadvantage it offers in a game though? On the one hand...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Been watching this same shit show for over 20 years. There's an occasional playoff appearance here or there, but they're basically always the same; a team that thinks they're way better than they are. Watching the games yesterday, this is by far the least interested in the NFL I've been (and...

    Meh, same old Redskins undisciplined, predictable, shit football. Glad I can just skip watching the NFL this season. Bring on the NHL.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Except he doesn't need to know the entire playbook. An NFL playbook should essentially be identical outside of the verbiage. Bradford should know all the plays, just not the verbiage, after 6 years in the league. But that ignores the main thing I said, that the Vikings can't design a playbook...

    As if I didn't need more reasons to dislike the Seahawks, apparently they're doing a team "protest" during the National Anthem tomorrow.

    Shaun Hill named starter this week. So the Vikes gave all that up for a veteran QB who they can't design a playbook around on short notice. Seems legit.

    I've been on vacation the last week. Will be back Tuesday to help out if anyone needs anything (currently have VT, but not flagged for PoP). I can probably tank most of the Velious stuff on my monk.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yeah, I can't figure out the offset there. The Broncos deserved to lose that one based on just the idiocy of the last drive. Feel like the refs were pretty crap last night, mostly in that they had too big an impact (based on calls and non calls).

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I thought it was what a lot of coaches were doing now? If you challenge afterwards, for some reason I don't think you get double charged (and in fact, back to back timeouts is an unsportsmanlike call). So you'd be saving yourself a challenge if it wasn't obvious.

    Sounds like it will confirm what I already believe; Goodell is shit for the NFL, except in one area, and that's making money. Anyway, I'm fucking pumped for the season to start tonight.

    I dunno, I replaced quite a few items on both my chars with Droga ones. In fact, the only items that are clearly better are fabled from VP, and then Velious flag mob items (AOW, KT, NToV). That Droga shit is pretty damn good. And the xp is insane.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I was skeptical of it as well when my wife said she wanted to order it. Like I said though, we have 2 now and pretty much have exclusively cooked with them for the last 2 months. I will admit I was a little misleading with the cook time, especially the eggs. They "cook" in about 4 minutes...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yes, that you think there are a bunch of Vegas insiders that I guess are rigging the NFL or something. That's what it sounds like you're saying. Otherwise, as several people have explained, Vegas sets the lines so that they get even money on both sides. They make their money by people placing...

    The only argument I can see for the 4th game is it gives a chance for the players who will be cut to get some extra game film for other teams to potentially sign them.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Aren't Vegas odds just trying to even the money on both sides? That would just mean that the money is split around 7.5. Granted, I don't know shit about betting, and put zero stock into what Vegas says.

    So features, they did a ton. Content, they fucked up. I guess that's okay. Finished all my lucid shards during my lunch break (well, still need a 2nd Maiden's Eye one for druid). So I guess now I just need to do the little extras (2nd Orb of Luclinite for druid as well) and Emperor Ssra.

    I can't wait to finish Luclin. Whole expansion is AIDS. Mentioned it in game, but I never played Luclin on live. You can tell they just didn't give a shit. It's just these terribly designed large zones (there's no actual thought into any I've been in; just giant plains with nothing interesting...

    There's a limit to two boxing, but I think it works strange. I've found that if I log in the 3rd account, it'll get booted, but the next attempt to login works fine. I haven't had it where both characters get booted though (maybe because I'm afking the other one though?).

    Not "just bought" but it's better that I've owned it for a couple months because my review is based on actual usage now. Amazon's Prime Day had the Instant Pot on sale, and my wife had heard good things; plus we had kind of wanted a pressure cooker after hearing how awesome they are...

    I've never been big on it, but a few weeks ago I "unfollowed" all but close family and like 4 friends. It's so much better, and it makes me want to just get rid of it entirely. I probably will in another month when I realize I don't give a shit about what's still being posted.

    I disagree about Roth's. If you're a significant saver, the tax deduction on a Traditional means you can invest the difference. If you're only looking to invest $5500 though, sure, I support the Roth as maybe a good choice. The other reason it's not always good is due to tax implications in...
