    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    I can't really blame them for that one. Plenty of teams take a chance on what would have been a first rounder who had an injury. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I guess they could have waited another round, but if your team doctor who performed the surgery gave the okay, I don't...

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    I hope for the Colts that he actually starts playing well. The thing I don't like about these contracts is it's setting a ridiculous standard for contracts at the respective positions. The Redskins are fucked with Cousins if he plays well this season.

    Finally finished game 5 of DC/CoL. That was a good one, and those Wisp saves were just insane.

    Timber is definitely getting nerfed next patch. It's kind of ridiculous how tanky he is right now.

    Yeah, I agree. I'm really glad they introduced the Richard character, as he fucking kills me in literally every scene he's in. Plus, the play off him with Jon*h is hilarious. It turns him from the insufferable punching bag of everyone else, into an actually funny character.

    I think Alliance is doing it! My predictions have been shit though. I think it's cause I didn't realize the #1 team from the matchups would be an auto entry, and the bracket is for #2 and wildcard. I would have altered my predictions a bit if I knew wtf was going on.

    HO-LE-SHIT. I have no idea how Alliance pulled that out. They were getting their shit kicked in all game. TB too strong.

    I'm quite happy with it. We spent a bit more than we wanted (probably about $3500; our aim was $3000), but I think it was worth it (included stuff like the landmine, matador, and kettlebells). I have had to change my routine a bit, as mentioned a few times, to accommodate the "lack" of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There was literally a line in episode 8 or 9 where Cersei and Qyburn are talking about it. It was obviously moved from the Mad King's caches to under the Sept for this very occasion.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Haven't read all the posts, but damn what an episode. I liked their version of Frey Pies better. From the opening sequence I knew this would be an awesome episode. My only complaint is they STILL didn't fucking resolve the R + L = J shit. I mean, we all know it at this point, just let it out.

    Alright, so my gym is basically done. I would still like some dumbbells, but they're just so prohibitively expensive. For now, I think kettlebells are a good substitute. I want to buy a 20, 30, 40, 45, and 50 pound kettlebell still. I'd also like to get another set or two of 45 pound plates...

    Picked Alliance as the 1/2 in the Compendium. I think they're good as long as Secret can beat Empire. Speaking of, I'm kind of surprised by Secret. I've basically written them off, but they seem to be playing pretty well.

    People who don't live out here think people care about earthquakes. No one cares about earthquakes. Fires and drought are the only disasters that matter. It'd be like asking if people in Florida are worried about a tsunami that wipes out the coast. Yeah, it could probably happen, but it's...

    Not technically weather, but this fire at Lake Isabella (Erskine fire) is insane. Yesterday it was at 30,000 acres and 5% contained. It's still showing the same, but I've got to imagine it's spread quite a bit more. I think it's on day 3 now? This is from the first night:

    Hardcore Henry (2015)

    The plot was kind of bizarre, and I want to say shitty. But as an action movie, it was A+. I will say the ending was definitely unique. The soundtrack, however...man, they fucking nailed that. The Queen at the end (which I want to say they used for the trailer) gave me goosebumps.

    "Yeah, but what about Terminators?" It's actually that Jack is a typical CEO. He's beholden to his shareholders, and the only thing that matters is that you're showing profit quarter to quarter. The box does that, the platform doesn't. He's an amazing CEO, but he's not a visionary. I think the...

    FOH Custom 16 Team League - YEAR SE7EN!

    Yeah, I'm looking to get rid of a QB. I have Brady and Cousins, and only one spot. Brady I still think is the better player and should be solid. He's somehow ranked #4 damn near everywhere I look, despite the fact that he'll miss 1/4 of the season. Cousins had a monster year last year...

    I've tried quite a few brands, and so far Cellucor is the best tasting for the price. It's a bit expensive, but they generally have good deals (You just missed a buy one get one 4 lb tub. Worked out to about $53 for 8 pounds shipped). Then again, I've never tried their vanilla. Cinnamon...

    James kills me still. Him fucking with Nicole while she was in the shower was great. Nicole's decision to put up a pawn in the first nomination was retarded. There are 13 other people you can choose from. Is there really not a single other person you can think to nominate? As far as...

    I wish teams would adopt math into their games. I remember reading about some high school coach that ran the numbers and always went for two, never punted, always went for onsides kicks, and came out way ahead because of it. Edit: That was easy to find, the guy has a ton of articles about...

    Reading about the Cox deal, tons of Eagles fans are all "Yeah, but the salary cap will go up." It seems like the Eagles are in "win now" mode (or within the next 2-3 seasons). If Wentz isn't the next Brady/Manning, they've just crippled their team for the foreseeable future.

    Pretty much every scene in New Hampshire was gold. The Camp David stuff was a little weak, but still decent. I'll forgive it for not being side splittingly hilarious since the rest of this season has been knocking it out of the park.

    This is my conclusion from this season. We just had an entire episode without a scene from Bran, Jon/Sansa, Ramsay Bolton, Littlefinger/Eyrie, any Greyjoy's, Daenerys (not counting her 3 second fly in), Sam, or whatever is happening in Dorne. That's a ton of stuff going on that is just ignored...
