The battery already lasts over 4 hours for me with the brightness on default. It you turn the brightness down I am sure you could get over 5 hours. I really am excited for Madden on it, I hope they dont just mail it in this year. I am worried about a new team and new hardware.
As long as they have no loading I would get all of them.
That is probably enough 16 bit goodness for me. Just needs a better battery. I would like a handheld to get AT LEAST 5 hours per charge. Hopefully in ver 2.0. Though getting a launch console is always a ton of fun.

You could get those games on the Vita whenever they make PS1 games playable.
I understand that. But this is what I have to say. As an adult, you should want to better yourself. If he was fine being mediocre for 3/4 of his career out of spite, then that says A LOT about his character. Not only was he letting his team down but he was short-changing himself. I've been a fan of his and a defender too. He's always been a GREAT cover-corner. IF he had been catching INT's with any consistency, he would have been in MANY probowls and made MUCH MUCH MUCH more money earlier on.
But now he's getting up there in age and lost out on a lot of money. So while I agree that the Redskins org was retarded and poorly run. I also hold his accountable as a GROWN ASS MAN for doing what he needed to do for HIMSELF. IMO, that's the evidence of a weak minded individual.
So I don't disagree with much of anything you guys said. But he too is largely to blame, I can't look past that.
LiveWire, Carlos Rogers had the game winning INTERCEPTION in his hands against the Seahawks when we went to the playoffs... I believe this was the year that Sean Taylor passed. And u know what, he dropped it because he's throwing a temper tantrum and trying to prove a point out of spite. Sorry dude, I blame him more. One man looking at another, I can't respect that. This man wasted years of his career over $200 (exam + contacts). I wish him the best moving forward.
it's almost as if that was what I was implying!

but I am a sheep
Jets going after Braylon?
I think it is a good move if he is healthy, was productive for them and seemed to work well with Sanchez. Very cost effective, get the wideout help for cheap and then hopefully spend money on the right side of the line, use the draft for safety/pass rusher.

I mostly lurk in this thread, but Falcons fan here.
Can't wait for another "good enough to play ourselves out of good draft picks, not good enough to win shit" season.
Goddamn, if Richardson somehow dropped to us @ 15, fuck taking a LB/Floyd/Cox! A Shady/Richardson backfield??? Shit, just get excited thinking about that.
Anyway, I've played around with the Vita at Bestbuy a few weeks ago and wasn't that impressed. All I'd really want is Lumines/MLB: The Show and that's not worth $200+ at this point... But I'll probably crack when there's better deals/games this fall/christmas.

My god at the meltdowns people would have if they took a RB but I agree that they cant pass on him at 15, especially with shadys status with the team so up in the air.

Welcome to New England, Robert!
Welcome brother
The PS1 versions of those games are turds with load times. I will never pay money (again) for a classic 16 bit game that has load times. I learned that lesson the hard way on the PS1.
Is yankee's experience with battery life the norm? I was hearing sub 4 hour times with normal usage.
Thank you, good sir.
if that includes online play then that's probably accurate. The battery life is decent I'd say, nothing like the DS, on par with 3ds. I can have it on standby all day and not have it be a problem.

Add me to Colts-Age as well, havent been in the thread much since the season ended.
The bolded is all that really needs to be said. A professional sports organization needs to do as much as it can do to keep the players healthy and productive. For example, providing players with free taxi services so they don't have to drive home after drinking. Personal health is a sensitive issue, regardless of gender. Sometimes people refuse to seek out medical attention (whether physical or mental) because they feel they are OK. If the stories are true, someone at the Niners organization sat him down and worked through his fears/doubts. It sounds sappy, but look at the results!
And don't remind me about those Seahawks playoff games. Gibbs should've had at least 1 NFC Championship appearance in his second run.

How about "no"? I love Mario and think he is a great talent but he will be stupidly overpaid this offseason by someone.

lulz when he's on your team he's great. but when he leaves he's being overpaid
How is Mario worth all that money? He's always hurt and has effort issues. I'm sure he'll looked good for awhile wherever he ends up, then his production will fall off as his injuries and give-a-fuck issues manifest
The Texans were dumb for making it so that they couldn't get any compensation when he left

Clearly you skimmed over the beginning of the article and haven't read the purpose of these "free agent files":

I like Mario Williams but I think a huge, Haynesworth type contract would be a massive overpay for his impact. Thankfully (hopefully) the Skins are all set with Orakpo and Carriker at the edges so Danny won't' be tempted.

Mannnn I don't want to hear that shit. We're talking about a fucking eye exam, not life threatening surgery. He knew his eyes were fucked up, he just refused to do anything about it on his own.
Lemme ask u this. If ur place of employment was hindering ur ability to progress and grow, are you going to sit there for 4 years and be stagnant? Hell no! You're gonna learn when you need to learn on your own.
Only a weak minded individual would allow another person to curb their potential to succeed. He's lost out on millions and an awesome legacy because he wanted someone else to baby him and wipe his ass for him. I personally dont want anyone that can't motivate themselves for their own gain or for that of their teammates on the team anyway.
I dunno man. Nobody is held accountable for their own actions anymore. It burns me up! Lol. So please don't take anything I said personally. Cus I agree with most of what you're saying, I just can't get with absolving this dude of what HE did to himself and his teammates.
A damn millionaire stunting is career over a 200 gotdamn dollar eye exam. Lol.
I wouldn't be shocked if that's why Mike let him walk. I'm a firm believer of, u can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. Carlos comes off like he was stuck in his emotions about being mistreated. And he was! But U can't let that jam ur career up!

It was pretty good.
well certainly not if you include plan B, but I'd say he was the first big time signing.
I think that because it was just an eye exam is why it's understandable that he didn't get it addressed. It is very common for people to not realize that their vision has actually degraded, and it does not take much to greatly affect your depth perception. You don't realize the difference until you get it corrected.
what!? And eye exam plus two pairs of glasses is still just 70 bucks in DC!

Man, the Colts need to cut Manning already. Need to see if he's going to us or Miami. Still say we're his best option.
Haven't checked out the mocks post Combine, will have to do that. Unless Reiff somehow drops to us, I think I want DeCastro. Probably the most NFL ready, should be a pro bowler in time and we need an upgrade at RG. Not nearly as bad as tackles, but I'm afraid to pick Adams or Martin...don't need a Levi Brown 2.0 . If not DeCastro, then Upshaw.

Our Guards are actually pretty decent, its just Levi the Human Turnstile Brown that drags the quality of the line down. I think it'll be OLB or T but Upshaw's combine numbers were a bit off, seems like hes a bit of a tweener OLB/DE and might be better suited to a 4-3 defense.
Saw it but doesnt sway from the fact: he will be grossly overpaid by someone. I think before March 13th the Texans will offer him a contract that will be fair but will not be some stupid amount. Then we will see if he really wants to stay here or be paid.
I believe he will go where the money is.
You're only as valuable as what someone's willing to pay you. Can you blame him for following the money? Most guys, especially elite players, only have a few years to cash in. I know it sucks cause it directly affects your team, but if someone is willing to outspend you...that's just the breaks.
yeah but you padded the steelers' list, didn't Deathbyvolcano skip out on a Steelers' super bowl win for a beatles listening gathering?
If we're going to question padding there a fuck ton of people added to smaller ages that hardly ever post.
