Not a fan of Kinect but it is fun for family gatherings though I would buy a kinectless version for $100 off. Ill get one in March for Titanfall no doubt but a combo of 360/PS3/Wii U will keep me more than entertained until then.

Macs are the best for porn.

Download or watch whatever you want (and e all know as a ravens fan it will be freaky) without worrying about getting Gronked.

Ive made it known Im displeased by this winning. Being 8-8/9-7 back to back years and possibly making the playoffs this year does nothing but hurt our future. I dont want to be the Bills of the future finishing 7-9 yearly. Lets break up the vets, bring in solid prospects and reboot this shit. I see nothing on this team that screams SB contender in 2 years. And the cap and vets are holding us back. Time to start over. Id rather tank for 2 years and build a foundation for a SB contender than sit around .500 for a decade

You should go post in the NBA thread if you want to watch a team tank on purpose. Find me an example of an NFL team successfully tanking for multiple years then going on to championship form.

Only way to get better is the draft and then superior coaching to maximize that talent. Tanking won't help. A top 3 pick is not enough to fill all of our holes.

We suck now because we have sucked in the draft and have not been able to add new talent.

Yes we have to get rid of the shit vets on defense but replacing them with bums will only make us average. We need depth and 2 blue chippers on both sides of the ball to contend again. And these coaches need to start doing their jobs and max out the young guys we do have

Draft a #1 receiver and 6 defensive backs. But the day the Steelers start losing on purpose is the day I squicken. It's retarded and it doesn't work in the NBA, either.

Rockets tanked for Olajuwon. Polian tanked for Luck. For very special talents, it is worth it. But it is very rare to find a guy like that. I also think it is a brutal risk to take with your fans

I made this point before with Luck. It was one year and that one guy was worth it. Plus the circumstances made it tenable. But Clowney won't fit in Pittsburgh, Olajuwon wouldn't have any titles if Jordan hadn't been playing AA ball and Luck is currently without a ring.

E: Rockets would have about 40 titles if Stern didn't suspend half the team for cocaine in the 80s b/c he knew they would work the Lakers. Also would have beat the Bulls. Turned over the whole roster while Jordan was gone. He sneakily avoided a retooling of the roster. Ask noted historian Jordan historian bionic about that

Jon Bon Jovi interested in purchasing the Buffalo Bills

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer...vi-interested-in-purchasing-the-buffalo-bills

Rock star Jon Bon Jovi is consumed with purchasing an NFL team, according to numerous sources with knowledge of the situation, and is among the parties positioning to purchase the Buffalo Bills when the team comes up for sale.

The Bills will go to the market when owner Ralph Wilson passes, and, while many league sources believe the Rogers Communications group in Toronto, who already work closely with the Wilson family to stage games annually in Toronto, is the prime suitor for the franchise, sources said Bon Jovi has spent considerable time in the area getting to know politicians and power brokers and even added a date there late in a recent tour to allow for more time to allocate to the matter.

Bon Jovi has been very proactive in meeting NFL owners and general managers, and is seeking their input on all sort of issues related to football. In the past he has nearly become a minority owner of a team, most notably the Falcons. However, sources said Bon Jovi is aiming to be the principal owner -- it remains to be seen if he has the type of immense capital necessary to meet that threshold of ownership -- and has aligned himself with several powerbrokers in his effort to turn his dream into reality. (Bon Jovi has a close friendship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick and it is not uncommon for him to jump on a private plane and head to various meetings with NFL bigwigs across the country, sources said, in his pursuit).

According to several sources in the music industry, Bon Jovi's dismissal of longtime guitarist Richie Sambora is likely even related to his pursuit of a franchise, as Sambora was the highest-paid member of his band and the next most prominent member, and by using session musicians or unknowns, he is then able to keep his costs down. Bon Jovi is a shrewd businessman who has kept much of his operation in-house and has long been the central figure in making deals for the band.

If it didn't work in the NBA you wouldn't have half the league trying to do it.

It works in basketball because 1 elite player is worth so much more than 1 guy in football, unless its an elite quarterback. Tanking for a DE is just stupid.

We are bad, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. 2 less wins this year and we're in the range I want. Would you notice 2 less wins in a season like this? Im not saying tank for a #1, Im saying lose enough to get a top 7 pick. Also Kevin Colbert and crew will probably fuck up any pick anyways. So I guess we should target him and them first.

Basketball is different.

You need a superstar to have a chance and there are very few guys like that. No one player can change your fortune like in the NFL. Cowboys showed us the value of multiple picks over one player in the 90s.

And a lot of the best players in the NFL are not drafted early.

Again you just need a good GM and a coach to take advantage and max out those guys.

I'm always skeptical if a young WR can't see the field by the end of the year. He should at least show improvement year one, and they wouldn't have drafted him if they didn't need WR help

But it doesn't work, which is why the league sucks so much. Sure, you might get a good/great player, but even then, it's no guarantee of success. If you're a small market team, you get a LeBron type talent for a few years and then get to watch him walk away and win championships with a large market team.

I don't visit the NBA thread, but I'm sure there are Knicks/Lakers fans who want their teams to tank, but in reality they should just wait until those guys become free agents and then snap them up. Those teams should just be figuring out ways to cut payroll and wait for some guys to become available.

He tied career highs in catches(3), targets (5), career highs 38 yards. THE FUTURE IS HERE!

Could be the 49ers with Jenkins. Rams have got very little from Brian Quick. Such a hard position to figure out, aside from the obvious freak talents that always go in the first round

Where are the Browns fans?

In the last three games, Browns quarterback Jason Campbell is 12-of-21 passing on third downs with six or more yards to go. Only three of those completed passes resulted in first downs and he was sacked on three drop backs.
