  1. That happens whenever I watch The Food Network. Triple D, Chopped, The Best Thing I Ever Ate all leave me craving what they're cooking. I'm pretty much with you, I don't keep up with too many shows really. Hell's Kitchen, Community, The Office, and So You Think You Can Dance (wife loves it and the girls are good looking lol) are probably the only shows I regularly see when they first air. Honestly, the show I'm watching most right now is Buffy The Vampire Slayer since it's part of Netflix's instant content. And being a huge Whedon fan, (loved Firefly, Serenity, and Dr. Horrible and probably the only person who absolutely adored Dollhouse), I figured it was time to actually watch Buffy and Angel.
  2. And clearly posts in Mafia games and the Dog Pound are unimportant
  3. It sucks My PS3 Yellow lighted on me on a Wednesday....... Then my 360 Red Ringed on me on a Saturday......... I used the computer as little as possible the following week (didn't want to hit the trifecta and see the Blue Screen pop up). Hell, my cousin told me not to call or text him for a month cuz he didn't want his cell to blow up in his hand LOL I haven't checked with either of them myself (both systems were launch systems so way out of warranty) but I don't doubt that Sony will have me pay. The ApocalyPS3 only lasted a little over 24 hours. Was the internal clocks on the old "Fat" systems having a glitch and mistakenly thinking 2010 was a Leap Year. Wasn't that huge a deal, just an annoyance for me, but there were reports of people losing trophies or something. Which I didn't care about anyway cuz I don't use my console for Online Gaming, that's what my computer is for.
  4. LOL, of course she was, that was her job. Look good and infiltrate the banquet and party scene of the people who actually have the information your after. I can't wait to get more detailed files about these cases honestly, the spy cases are always intriguing
  5. David Ward is also responsible for Major League II and Major League: Back to the Minors. So you might want to temper that excitement a bit lol
  6. It's all about delaying his eligibility for free agency. You need 6 years in the majors before you can become a free agent. By delaying when they bring him up to June they pretty much gain an extra season as he won't have a full 6 seasons worth under his belt come 2015 or whatever. Teams do this type of stuff all the time to avoid free agency or "Super 2" rules.
  7. Well because of my busy schedule I don't turn these things on to play a game or, more commonly, to watch a movie until about midnight. So really there isn't a whole lot I can do between 12 and 2 AM (Sleeping is not an option as I'm not tired at these hours usually). Pretty much an overheating problem where the system gets too hot and causes the solder on the motherboard to lose it's connection to the CPU/GPU. Basically the older PS3 models (which mine was) do not have proper heat sinks which causes the solder to degrade over time. Not a big deal, will just have to replace it by either sending it in to Sony and getting one of the new slimmer models (probably refurbished) back for about 120-150 (Warranty ended quite a while ago). Or i can just buy a new one. Not sure what I'll end up doing but not too happy with the thought of getting a refurbished machine. Sucks I'll lose my backwards compatibility with a new slim model as well. As for the XBox, it was my cousins, and he said it had red ringed on him before, so I wasn't too surprised when it happened. Just weird that they both went out on me at a similar time.
  8. My Luck. 2 Weeks ago, my PS3 gets the YLOD. 2 Days ago, Xbox360 gets the RROD. I should probably get off this computer before the damn thing Blue Screens on me.......
  9. He's already been suspended 4 games, he better hope Goodell doesn't loose his patience and make it more.
  10. Not a giraffe.......giraffe-like; there's a big difference
  11. Would kill to be 5'10. I'm only 5'5 I agree completely with this
  12. Thousands of people don't pay money to come watch me write reports on any given night. Thousands of people aren't willing to pay $8 a beer or $5 for a hotdog while watching me write that report. Nobody pays at least $100 for my replica work shirt either. The amount of revenue these players bring in for their teams, especially a guy like Albert, is well over 30 mil a year.
  13. This is also a very good and deep draft, so while 1st rounders would be ideal, there is good value in 2nd round players as well; which may be why teams are more open to taking non 1st round picks. Still, seeing Marshall and Boldin traded for 2nd and 3rd rounders makes me appreciate the deal Mayhew got out of Jerry Jones for Roy Williams that much more.
  14. GOAT: I’ll have to put my vote in for Lawrence Taylor. He changed the game both defensively and offensively. The way he was able to blitz and put pressure on the QB was something that wasn’t done from the LB position until he came around. He was the one that started chopping the ball out of the QB’s hand instead of just tackling them as well. Because of him offenses had no choice but to change the way they did things, from the H-back to actually tasking Guards and Tackles to picking up a Linebacker. Hell, he changed what teams wanted in the prototypical Left Tackle too. The well over 300 pound monstrosities like Bubba Paris were no longer good enough, a leaner more agile tackle, capable of actually getting in front of LB’s with the speed of Taylor became the benchmark. My top 5 at the position of my choice: Offensive Tackle – 1. Anthony Munoz- he’s that lean, agile left tackle I was talking about. He was quick, agile, and strong enough to shut down the best DE’s in the league. There was just an aura around him as a pass blocker, his dominance was just unreal. 2. Jackie Slater- if you were running behind Jackie Slater chances are you were getting 1,000 yards that season. Just a fearsome run blocker. 3. Walter Jones- a dominant pass and run blocker. Went on a 2-year stretch where he didn’t give up a single sack. Seattle is going to have a real hard time replacing Jones. 4. Art Shell- it’s hard to imagine that the clueless drone that once roamed the Raiders sideline as their head coach was once the best Left Tackle in the game of football. But seriously Shell and guard Gene Upshaw completely locked down the left side of the line for very very good Raiders teams in the 70’s. Hell, he was the leader of the 76 Raiders line, that might have been the greatest O Line ever assembled. 5. Johnathan Odgen- another dominating pass blocker. I just don’t think he had as quite an intimidating presence as Munoz; but he was able to shut down opposing DE’s just the same.

Receivers in this offense are required to read what is happening during the play and adjust their route accordingly. Hell I believe they only have a handful of real passing plays, they are just able to give different looks because of the receivers adjustments. This is also why, Austin Collie coming in and being so successful as a rookie is a big deal, this is a difficult offense for WR's to pick up.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, in this offense Manning, has to read the defense before the snap and make adjustments <span style="text-decoration:underline;">and</span> know his receivers well enough that he'll know the type of adjustment they are making in any given situation. This offense isn't a situation where if Peyton goes down, Cassel can come in and win 11 games; if Peyton goes down that team is screwed.</p>
  16. Not surprised it was a mess given all the production troubles it's gone through. I swear it's as if Terry Gilliam himself were directing the damn thing. And still I'm left waiting for a quality update to the werewolf. Ginger Snaps and Dog Soldiers were fun but still every werewolf story since the original American Werewolf in Paris has fallen short.
  17. Maybe they are banking on the post-christmas rush and hoping that kids use up their gift cards on it. There are quite a few releases going that route btw. Jennifer's Body, Moon, and 9. In fact usually, the week after christmas has some unconventional dvd, and cd releases to try and capitalize on this. I'm not sure that is the case this year though. Anyway, I know last season the post-christmas rush really helped out the holliday retail figures and the purchase of gift cards saw a significant increase. Could be they were hoping the trend would continue.
  18. Hey those are my lines Babay!!!!! Don't make me put you in the Firing Zone!!!!

  20. Got to go down to the bottom of the page and set he forum to show all posts from the last year. Then click on replies and they'll be at the top of the list.
