    Justice for Zimmerman

    That's literally the first thing I've watched from this trial...and holy shit. Is that bitch serious? It's like the principal trying to trick a 10 year old into waiving their rights and not letting them have anyone to ask if that's reasonable.

    It's about that time. 2013 training camps start in 1-2 weeks (the earliest being Dallas on July 21). A reminder that the Hall of Fame game is Sunday, August 4th - Less than 3 weeks away! Also Hard Knocks 2013, featuring the Bengals, premieres on Tuesday, August 6th, at 10pm. So lets get...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    The only Steam sale I really liked was the Christmas 2011 one I think. Where they basically gave all kinds of shit out for free if you got achievements and shit in different games. That was awesome.

    The Secret World

    What role would you recommend for the NM raids? I feel like I always see DPS looking for groups, so not sure that'd be the best idea. I'm currently level 10 in blade, 5 in AR, and 5 in chaos. I'll likely max out my talisman skills to 10 before anything else. But after that, I don't want to spec...

    The Lions probablycouldimprove, but the NFC North is probably the 2nd best division right now after the NFC West (never thought I'd say that!). The Lions will probably end up competing for most of the season but I'd expect it to be similar to the NFC South several years ago where all the teams...

    Most of our gifts were either received at the wedding shower or mailed. Although like I said, we only had like 14 people at our wedding so maybe that makes it different.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Real judges are elected and don't actually need any qualifications. I wish I could find the article I read not too long ago about how most judges don't even have a bachelor's degree, much less law degree. Like, VAST majority. So basically you've got a bunch of severely unqualified people...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Yeah, but there are lots of teams throughout the history of the NFL where you could say they're just throwing it up all the time. But how many of them eclipse 4000 yards, much less 5000? You can't attribute that all to the rule changes or Megatron either. Stafford's 2012 season wasn't great...

    I've got to believe that it's his supporting cast that's letting him down. You don't throw for 10,000 yards in 2 seasons if you don't have some talent. I'd look up the stats for the defense the last few years, but the NFL.com website is one of the worst pieces of shit on the planet. I don't...

    Why are you switching to a new program and then going back to SS, as opposed to just staying with SS? Just curious, because I did the same thing when I did SS.

    You've never seen or heard of a gift registry? I will say we definitely appreciated people buying us stuff off ours. We got married in our very early 20's and we really needed most of that shit. Almost a decade later and we still have most of the things from our registry -- and use them.

    Plane Crashes at San Francisco Airport

    That's a terribly flawed argument. The Medal of Honor during the 19th century was the only military decoration around. It's not the same criteria that we think of in the last century. Really, anything pre-WWII, you're not talking about the same Medal of Honor.

    Hopefully the story and main gameplay elements are as good as they look, and the superfluous stuff didn't cause the rest to suffer. Like, as cool as it is that you can play golf, if the combat sucks because they made the golf awesome, it'll be a disappointment. That said, it looks pretty...

    We had a small ceremony with about 14 people on the shore of a lake. In total it cost about $450, the bulk of which was taking everyone out to dinner for our "reception." Never regretted it even a tiny bit. In fact, we always laugh at jackholes like you who go all out and stress the fuck out...

    As someone who was not only in the military, but in what lots of people call an "elite" community, I'm to go ahead and say that you can't make blanket statements about people being heroes based on their job description. Heroes are people who act out of selflessness during times of distress...

    I have no idea of what your current body composition, experience, or goals are, but it's very possible you're experiencing newbie gains. With an inexperienced lifter, you could eat cake for every meal and still make progress.
