    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yeah, that's really disingenuous. A lot of Dak's success has to do with the fact that the Cowboys have an absolutely dominant offensive line (same with Elliot). Had those players been drafted by the Browns, they'd be shit. That's not to say they're bad players, but it does make a huge difference.

    Wow. If I were a Niners fan, I'm not sure how I could support the team after seeing that kind of shit.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, I've found that the only way to play a support and consistently win in shit tier is to play a scaling support that can convert into a core. Something like Mirana, Abadon, or Venge are decent picks for that. Basically play the start of the game like a support (buy courier, wards) but then...

    Okay, how about he chokes at the worst possible moments? He's like Romo, but without the winning part.

    Got to wonder if the Redskins sign Cousins. I know it's hard to find a good QB, but I don't know that he's got that winning mentality.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I wonder if the issue is the Redskins? Hall has been a piece of shit, Brandon Merriweather was one of the dirtiest players I've ever seen. Seems to be that the Redskins are the common denominator. I know Hall and Norman weren't choir boys prior to the Skins, but it makes you wonder.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The refs actually just called a timeout on behalf of the Giants, to avoid a delay of game. I've seen it all. They threw the flag, then said "The head coached called a timeout before the delay of game." Meanwhile McAdoo is sitting there saying, "I did?"

    Rigged much? Norman almost picks off the ball right in front of the ref, but can't hold onto it because the receiver grabs the shit out of his facemask. Fucking NFL...what a joke.

    This seems odd. Either Garappolo sucks, or the Patriots are in "don't give a shit" mode. Or they see someone in the draft they really like? Brady will eventually fall off. Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Rumors: Latest News and Speculation on Patriots QB

    Once again I'm going to bitch about LA having a team again. The local broadcast is a completely meaningless game between the Rams and Cardinals, whereas most of the country gets to watch the Giants and Redskins.

    You know, in all the other oversaturation reasons and whatnot, I forgot about the fact that NFLN insists on airing so many games as a reason the NFL's ratings are down. Seems pretty fucking retarded to have a game on Christmas day that has a limited ability to be watched. Especially so when...

    I originally thought the Chargers were in a Christmas mood and letting the Browns get a win. But now they're going to mercilessly snatch victory away from them. Also, did the Dolphins just shit away their playoff chances? Edit: Nm, OT!

    Yeah he did. At the beginning of final tribal, Jay was talking to him and he broke down and cried and said he wouldn't talk about it. But then a few jurors later and he was like, "I found out my mom has stage 4 cancer before coming out here and she's dying" or something like that.

    Nice! I think I may pick one up, even though it won't get much use. Anyone got any opinions on using it wirelessly? I've heard it works significantly better wired, but I don't know that I want to run CAT V around 150-200 feet through my attic and walls. That just sounds like a shit project...

    All this talk about ranked being much easier has me wanting to play ranked again. I've probably played about 150 bot games in the last month and a half because I was burnt out on ranked matches. I was climbing pretty fast as was (about 75% win rate). If it's even better now, I shouldn't lose!

    Survivor

    I would absolutely vote for the best player over the sob story. Fuck that, Survivor isn't about Adam's mom. It's about him and his game play. Does he deserve to win for his game play? Sure, I can buy it. And I probably would have voted for him. But his mother story? Give me a break.

    Pro Bowl has been shit ever since Sean Taylor killed that punter. Edit: I'm not saying that's the catalyst. Or that the Pro Bowl was even entertaining prior to that...it wasn't. I actually think the Pro Bowl went to shit when they got rid of those awesome field day type contests. It's been...

    It's been a while so I don't remember it all, but he sent me to Iraq a fuck load. Which kind of sucked (although it was also a good character builder). Also made flying a real pain in the dick. He established the 10% tax bracket, which Obama I guess decided to make permanent. I only figured...

    I think it's probably excessive (and kind of a dumb rule to begin with). But you know what? Fuck the Giants! And fuck Mara! The shit that went on with the uncapped year is still a giant pile of horseshit. The Redskins and Cowboys were harshly punished by Mara for no apparent reason.
