How can you not sellout a playoff game?

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Still up for an avatar bet with Niners-GAF if anyone is interested. Will wear it till the playoffs are over.

Would've made one with you Conrad but you were too late!

Regular season games are already expensive then they attach a playoff inflation. There a reason attendance is going to take a dip, more and more people are smartening up that attending a game isnt worth what the NFL prices

I saw Anand spec out one of those Mac Pros. For that form factor, I'm not sure a $400 premium is that outrageous. Admittedly I am a SFF PC fan, and am glad to see a little movement beyond the usual stuff. Silverstone has a really small Mini ITX case coming out that uses a riser to allow for full length gfx cards. Add in mSATA and you can really go small

Good piece on what went wrong with Freeman in Minnesota, for those interested

Pushing Freeman as Vikings QB too early hurt Frazier

Four people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports that Freeman was late for numerous meetings in his roughly three months with the Vikings. A third player said Freeman often was among the last players to the facility.

Mother of Javan Belcher is suing the Chiefs for wrongful death

According to the Kansas City Star, the estate of linebacker Jovan Belcher has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the Chiefs.

The lawsuit, submitted by Belcher’s mother, contends that Belcher was exposed to “repetitive head trauma” and “suffered multiple concussive and subconcussive blows to the head which caused or contributed to cause a a constellation of neurologic/brain harms, including post concussion syndrome . . . and traumatic brain injuries, such as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).”

Apart from the boilerplate allegations appearing in most concussion lawsuits, the Belcher lawsuit makes specific allegations regarding behavior that caused Belcher to play through brain injuries. The lawsuit contends that Chiefs officials “engaged in mental abuse to ‘motivate’” Belcher, that Belcher was told “he was just an accident, and they would get rid of him,” and that he was bullied and pressured to the point that, when combined with Belcher’s concussion issues, “caused or contributed to cause [him] to become insane.”

The lawsuit also alleges that the Chiefs knew or should have known that Belcher showed signs of cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairment, that he was knocked unconscious during a game against Jacksonville in 2009 but was not immediately taken for evaluation, and that he wasn’t given time to fully recover before returning to practice.

We're mere days away from seeing a bunch of sff GabeCubes.

Should've built a Taco Bell next door, he'd have been the first one in and the last one to leave!

 

[Buckethead]

The Queens were a cluster as usual, bringing Freeman in is like trying to patch up the Titanic while the bow was already in the drink. The already fucked up bringing in Cassel and then trying to play Ponder.

Frazier was in over his head ever since replacing Chilly.

Not a problem for the Iggles and as much as I despise the Steelers they would never have this problem.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Lol between Chargers and Bengals fans, no one will show up.

:jnc

 

[hipsterpants]

apparently the Packers and Colts are also in danger of a black-out, surprisingly

lol nfl

e!

I love CES! Can't wait to see what Valve and partners have come up with on the Steam boxes. Sadly almost everything there usually doesn't show up until fall

 

[Kave_Man]

What if all the games get blacked out?

 

[chuckddd]

What if all the games get blacked out?

I won't give a shit, I don't live in any of those small towns.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

People will be stumbling for Radios. lol. Doubt the NFL lets this happen though.

 

[Konka]

Ain't happenin in Philly. It is a privilege to see the Revolution in person.

 

[Kave_Man]

The Revolution will not be televised.

 

[Narag]

Well done, kave.

 

[Coldnoodle]

lol Cincinnati can't even sell out a playoff game. We just need to get rid of Ohio.

Don't forget about Florida!

We're gonna party like its 1999.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Don't forget about Florida!

Florida is 100x better than Ohio.

 

[squicken]

Jeff Triplette is working a playoff game, meaning his crew is one of the league's best

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Florida is 100x better than Ohio.

Is it?

Is it really?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Florida is 100x better than Ohio.

I miss Florida. Only for the theme parks though.

It's gonna be great when Foles takes down Brees the way he took down his high school records.

Did Foles even win a Texas State Championship like Matthew Stafford?

 

[jbug617]

O'Brien negotiations hitting a snag?

@BFeldmanCBS: Am told Bill O'Brien went back to #PennState & then circled back to the #Texans in negotiations but Houston brass didn't budge.

 

[Konka]

Did Foles even win a Texas State Championship like Matthew Stafford?

No, but he's beaten a couple of teams with winning records.

O'Brien negotiations hitting a snag?

He's going to stay at PSU. He said he was there for the long haul and leaving after 2 years would make him look like a douche.

 

[slabrock]

He's going to the Lions. Detroit that is.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Time to spruce up and clean up my junk.

 

[Buckethead]

The Cleveland thing sounds like a cluster. Even Norv was pissed.

I feel like the Browns are going to have to take some crappy coach that's down on their own luck because no one else right of mind would take that job if that's how they're running shit.

 

[Buckethead]

Who is gonna take the job at this point? Someone desperate to get their first gig? Some retread who is going for his last shot? Maybe they can dig up Wayne Fontes or Rich Kotite

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I keep thinking this thread title says "Return of J-Gar"

He never left my heart!

So Shanahan then?

 

[chuckddd]

Norv Turner would be a decent hire for a new hc as an o-coordinator. Again.

And if LeBeau retires, I wonder if the Steelers bring back Horton or go with Butler.

Lots of choice parts coming cheap from the Browns destruction.

Shouldn't we be allowed to swap out Capers for Horton?

Like, right now?

13k unsold seats for the Packers game. Green Bay = LLL central

Happy New Year everybody

Or in other words, 67k sold seats in 2 days.

How will they ever sell the last 13k over the rest of the week!
