Bionic, let's get real here. First off, both of us would be disappointed with the result of our teams, if that result is not a Super Bowl win at the end of the season.

But, let's make the bet easy, the team that has the most successful season wins. So If you guys make the Divisional round and we make it to the wild card round, you win and vice versa. Easy as that. Winner chooses the avatar for the other one the next offseason till the start of the new season.

Deal ?

Just read about Roman Harper's bounty tied to knocking out Brandon Jacobs in a game.

I do hope in the Niners-Saints game this season, Jacobs uppercuts Harper. Dude is a piece of shit.

it's such bullshit. NFL has a bunch of evidence but all the NFLPA/players say is "that doesn't mean anything!" "Very unfortunate terminology there!"

it's like the NFL will need to provide video where the players say verbatim: "Hey, we are going to pay you $10,000 american if you take this player out by injuring him. I mean this in a very literal way: we have a bounty program whereby we pay people real money for injuries. There is no hidden meaning or metaphor here: this is a real bounty system. My name is Jonathan Vilma"

Roman Harper's a roided up piece of shit. Late hits galore - his hit on Steve Smith after he burned the Saints defensive backfield for a TD was bullshit.

I also like that these clowns are calling Joe Vitt and Sean Payton liars for admitting that a Bounty program was run. :jnc

The new MS tablet looks nice but we all know it's a lost cause at this point. It needs to have killer software to compete with Apple at this point.

Maybe. But personally, if the screen/battery/price don't ruin it (big ifs, but MS should be aware of that), they seem superior in almost every regard to me.

Maybe it's another Zune HD situation, but right now, I want one so bad.

Fuck, being able to load your own shit on it without jailbreak means I'm going to ditch my iPad ASAP and I ride hard for that motherfucker. I mean, anything that can run on the hardware will be able to run on it, unlike Apple where you have to damn near break the fucking thing so you can run anything that isn't an overpriced app.

I still love my iPad like FMT loves laxatives and hookers, but I'm likely to switch if the Surface isn't retarded expensive.

The upper tier (pro?), I believe it has an i5 and can run actual Windows software rather than apps. Personally, if it's under $1000 and can run Visual Studio effectively I will buy it and leave the laptop at home. It still has to have a good battery life, but I've wanted to program on a tablet for a long time. Being portable (even more so than a laptop), would be worth it in my opinion.

If MS can bridge the gap between tablets and desktops without being too expensive, I can see it selling well or creating it's own niche.

How is it a lost cause? Tablets and all sorts of shrunk down PCs are going to be with us a long time. There are price points and functionality that the iPad just doesn't hit even now

Are people forgetting that ICS is awesome on a tablet.

I have a Xoom and a new iPad and the Xoom is Much better on the software side.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Former 49ers receiver and front office exec RC Owens passes away at 78:

R.C. Owens, a longtime 49ers front office man and eight-year NFL wide receiver whose impressive leaping ability earned him the nickname "Alley Oop" and helped popularize the phrase, has died. He was 78.

The Niners, his team for the first of his five NFL seasons, announced Owens' death Monday. The team said he died Sunday and had been living in Manteca, about 75 miles east of San Francisco.

The 6-foot-3 Owens, a college basketball star at the College of Idaho, also played two seasons for the Baltimore Colts and his final year with the New York Giants in 1964. He had 206 career receptions for 3,285 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also ran for a score on his lone carry.

Owens was born on Nov. 12, 1933, in Shreveport, La.

Saying it's too late for MS in the tablet arena is like saying it was too late for Nintendo when they entered the video game industry. Shit just started son.

That tablet looks great

Overpriced apps? I don't think I've paid more than $4.99 for an App.

So you're just being a cheapskate. I don't think $5 qualifies as overpriced by any means.

And I still haven't found a better RSS Reader on windows than Reeder. Google Reader is as close as it gets, but I much prefer reading on my iPad.

This is pretty much what my iPad is, a reading device. Good for movies, radio/music, and twitter. I hate typing on it though, the worst is when I'm laying on the couch.

What MS showed today is what I thought the iPad would be 3 years ago, combining desktop and mobile OSes. Pretty cool looking device, the Pro version specifically. Admittedly I don't know much about Windows RT.

Damn guys.

I mean, I hate Apple with the fire of a thousand suns but I can't help but feel that Microsoft has a ridiculous uphill battle to fight to win the hearts and minds of consumers again.

So maybe it's not that the tablet battle is over so much as you have to fight the rabid entrenched fanbase that Apple has created.

Read this please. The moral of the story is that the best historical metric for performance is adjusted net yards per attempt, and the best predictive stat is net yards per attempt.

Just make your bet as to whether Cutler is in the top 10 in net yards per attempt. It's hardly perfect but it's the best back of the napkin QB stat available

Eh. I have a strong feeling Bears are going to be 50/50 pass/run with a lot of short passes. Marshall and Hester gain a lot of YAC.

People said the same thing about Sony fans when MS was talking about entering the videogame industry. The Surface looks awesome, if the Pro is reasonably I will definitely try to get one.

And yet it was easily outsold by the Wii which died like 2 years ago:

People keep thinking it is the 90s and Apple is the underdog and MS is the Goliath when in reality it is the opposite of that. I have no faith in MS trying to compete in a market that is not controlled by virtue of their monopoly. The 360 is the only example in their favor and it cost thm billions to buy their way in and the guy responsible is now gone. MS can't compete with Apple when to comes to cash (as crazy as it sounds) and they are late as fuck to the market. What is MS offering to very every 3rd person I see that has an iPad?

I could be wrong but I have no faith in Balmer and the current regime.

It really has nothing to do with Apple, in my case. I think they make decent enough products. I want power in that form factor, and most of the ease of use that a desktop/laptop brings. The pro version of this tablet hopefully brings the power to run certain Windows programs that I use on a daily basis, as well as offer most of the ease of use of a laptop.

As far as Android I do have a Hp Touchpad running Android. It was a steal at $99, but it is limited.

It's about that time to rewatch last year's games. First up, week 1 vs Saints. I remember bionic saying that the defense was crap based on this game and I thought it was just early season jitters. :(
