NFL 2014 Week 8 |OT| I Used To Like Football

I posted this as a joke, because I hate Flacco. I figured someone would point this out, but I think there's value to not missing entire seasons.



Some of those "other choices" for each team are cringeworthy. Atlanta Confederates, Baltimore Steamers, Houston Apollos, all bad. This quote was hilarious to me: "While Jaguars aren’t native to Jacksonville, the oldest living jaguar in North America was housed in the Jacksonville Zoo."

Neat!

Kansas City Mules.
Oakland Señors

edit:

The last finalist to fall was the New York Borros, a pun on the city’s boroughs; the team worried that opposing fans would make the Borros-burros connection and derisively call the squad the jackasses.
Ironically they get called that anyway,
 
I was a little heated last night so I didn't post but good game Broncos. I figured this game was a loss, I'm still more pissed about the Chiefs game, we needed that win with our brutal 2nd half schedule.

That Notre Dame WR is living the dream.
 
PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Pittsburgh’s football team shared the same nickname as the city’s baseball team, the Pirates, from 1933 to 1940. Before the 1940 season, owner Art Rooney held a rename-the-team contest. A change couldn’t hurt, as Pittsburgh had failed to post a winning season in its first 7 years. Joe Santoni, who worked in a mill for Pittsburgh Steel, was one of several fans who suggested Steelers. Santoni received a pair of season tickets, which he would renew every year until his death in 2003.

ffs - this guy won a naming contest and didn't get season tix for life? He had to fucking renew his own season tix every year despite being the guy who named the team?

Someone tell me the Rooneys paid this guy's renewal every year.
 
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Cheating has been an American tradition for quite some time. The British would argue that we hid behind trees and bushes and shot at their soldiers walking in neat lines. American politicians lie all the time in an effort to get elected. As a representative of this cheating tradition, the Patriots were named and thus fulfilled their destiny by cheating their way to three rings which will eventually be taken away from them when a non-American becomes commissioner.

Worth it. WP ain't shit.
They are all kind of the same now dude. WP has no apps but for most people you want your phone to use the sex apps, watch porn, take and send naked pics of yourself, post on GAF and check on Facebook.

Pretty much every phone can do that now. And do it well.

I have to say I was playing around with the Note 4 the other day and I was impressed with that pen thing. Phone is gigantic and seems like a pain in the ass to carry around, but the pen worked really well.

I prefer typing 99% of the time but that would be nice to take notes on a PDF for students.

People still talk about the Zune too. There will always be some useless device that nerds love because their friends have never heard of it.

Y'all would've been on some "The betamax is clearly superior because it's smaller." Probably still got some HD-DVDs of Shrek kicking around your house, too.

Stop failing.

Actually the Windows Phone (and Zune) interfaces pretty much blow everythng else out of the water. Just not enough support on Windows Phone for me to justify it.

Still want that surface 3 though

By not enough support do you means apps? They seem to be adding stuff everyday. It feels like most of the big apps are on the platform now, or at least a wp variant exists.

That's why I still want a Surface Pro.

Aren't you rich Muricans really big on charity? Come on, save some taxes by helping a kid in a 3rd World Yuro country get through college.

Actually the more money you make the less you want to give and the more you hate the poor.

Didn't you see that Halloween thread where the rich bitch was complaining about poor kids having the balls to ruin her life by asking for cheap candy?

Yeah, but it's education, man. I'm an investment.
 
I tried to explain the appeal of Bayonetta 2 to my wife the other day. I don't think I suceeded.

Her hair turns into a giant dragon. What more needs to be said?

CNN is really pushing this guy to name some random kid. I hate television news.

i pretty much hate all tv that isnt sports.
i dont even own a dvr anymore, i just catch the shows i want online whenever i want to keep up. if cable wasn't included in our internet bill, i'd probably cancel.
 
Well I got the Bayo combo along with Evil Within and Alien Isolation. I've been hearing good things about Aliens but most importantly I was interested in the game so I'm giving it a chance. Still gotta reserve Advance Warfare and get a ps camera for my player in NBA 2K15. So many games to play. Sorry FFXIV but I gotta quit you for now.
