Yeah, sorry. Was playing noob dota with Bob and Live.

Do these guys just use their computers and not actually watch the games? This is a Jason Garrett team, we're going 8-8.

CLEVELAND: Don't get too excited. It's the Browns, not the Cavs.

I am freaking tired of hearing the name Johnny Manizel. I live in Akron, not to far from Cleveland, and he is all they can talk about. Dear lord I guess it'd be different if he proven himself on the field but jesus the way they talk about him on the radio he'd think he was the second coming of Jesus.
I want to see him prove himself on the field then we can all gush over him. I love my Browns don't get me wrong, but it is so annoying.

Have you seen how the team looks right now? 8-8 would be the best-case scenario.
I mean, unless your best-case scenario involves something that isn't 8-8 for the 4th year in a row so you don't go insane.
Fight me.
SOS is the big thing, I'm not sure about the injury metric as they are an older team and Reese isn't averse to drafting injured players in the draft.
I'll be real though, I'm so excited about the new offense, as while I don't want to shit on Gilbride, I thought other teams caught on and he failed to reinvigorate the offense in a proper manner that had Eli and the WRs on the same page. Plus i'm excited about a brand new line.
Pittsburgh Steelers: 9-7 (9.2 mean wins)
Cincinnati Bengals: 9-7 (8.7 mean wins)
Baltimore Ravens: 8-8 (7.6 mean wins)
Cleveland Browns: 6-10 (6.3 mean wins)

True. I suppose the way I was looking at it seemed so out there. I mean, Josh Gordon is a pretty normal, albeit foolish, young man. What Rice did was messed up.

Looking at This page alone, I would fight a lot of people here.
Take a close look at his avatar before you get all emotional and challenge him to a fight.
A return to glory for the Black and Gold!
Cant wait till we get out of cap hell and Colbert starts hitting drafts again so we can rebuild our team, sadly by the time this happens Ben will either be broken, banned for life for a 3rd accused sexual assault or retired and we'll be in that limbo stage we were when Bradshaw elbow went and we drafted Ben. Going to be a rough 12 years for us.

People that are going to buy the GOAT instead.
Putting 343 on that cover is fucking hilarious! I know companies do it but fuck man, Halo 4 was very divisive at least from the gamer's side.
5000 yards! 41 Touchdowns! Stafford is best QB! Megatron! More weapons! KasKasKasKas!
Brian Hoyer has started THREE games!
You leave not 343 Guilty Spark alone you monster!

No worries, buddy. We'll get us some NFL GAF Destiny going at some point. Still wish you could create a larger fire team than 3 though. If they let us check out a raid in the beta we'd be able to go 6 deep for that.

I know.
Between the Browns projected wins and the Lions and Vikings projected wins, I think Football Outsiders has gone soft and too nice. There's being mean and then there's just being honest.
You can get a fireteam of up to six peeps when you're doing multi, which is kinda one of the draws for me. Doing the same raids over and over again when you can't go beyond level 8 gear is kinda pointless to me.
The site has fallen out of my rotation in the past 6-8 months.
Nilay's the smartest guy on staff, so it's a fortuitous move for the publication. I'd blame Topolsky for the weird Mashable/BuzzFeed bent. Nilay had left to lead product at Eater a few months ago. Josh seemed more concerned about culture. I still like their reviews - the production level is top notch so that's a major differentiator compared to Engadget, Gizmodo (lol), Ars and Anand.
Also, good riddance to the mouth breather. Found him to be a tiresome writer as well.
Ars Technica and Anand are still my go-to tech sites as ever.
Like Vox a lot, though. It's popular among my journo-circle as well - mainly with the little "timeline" feature. It's real time history and context, which is what this medium should be producing on an evolving platform like the web.

In Baltimore, CB Aaron Ross tore his Achilles during the team's conditioning test.
That's probably it for him.

Vox.com is garbage.
Good point on Pitel, he's easily the best thing going over there. Hopefully they improve their content. They still have that "tablet" design which to me is like Windows 8, only usable on a tablet. I still don't think that is a smart strategy. Maybe their podcast will be listenable now too. Since Tested died there are no good tech podcasts left depending on which guests are on TWiT.
Thanks, online news correspondent! By the way, how terrible has TNT gotten? C'mon Leo, hire someone good.
This is the last time we were truly happy:

Too bad all of our good players died or got hurt in this game or against the Jets the next week.

Story of his career. Spent two seasons with hamstring injuries on the Giants he couldn't overcome. Played poorly for bouts of games and then would suddenly turn it on and play as a solid corner on the big stage ('07 and '11 run for the Giants).
Sucks for him but yeah, I agree. That's probably it for Ross.
Captain Obvious statement of the day by a Giant:
Yeah no shit, Reuben. We noticed.

Screw Halo 4. I didn't even touched the multiplayer on that.
Halo 2 & 3 however...I need that pumped directly into my veins. Plus OG Halo with proper online multiplayer, game of the forever confirmed.
Never been a big Halo guy, do you have confidence that 343 can make a great Halo game?
Seahawks suddenly a perfect trade partner for the Texans and Andre Johnson?
http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/07...e-for-andre-johnson-makes-sense-for-everyone/
Still 98% sure he is not being traded but it is an interesting thought and does make sense

One perspective might be that MS doesn't have faith because they're just releasing all of the old games with better graphics.
Now nobody can complain.
It's anathema to me. The only things I want to differentiate players in a shooting game are knowledge, skill, and preference. None of this grinding shit where shooting somebody in the face counts less because I didn't run the hamster wheel enough.
Did he seriously get whacked for this?
I lol'd at that comment. And will lol if he got hit for it, but then again we've all seen lol bans in our time.

I don't know if that's a question of faith or the simple fact that they aren't anywhere near ready to relase Halo 5 and the Xbox One needs their big franchise on the console anyway it can get it ASAP.
Scumbags (aka Pats fans) let me ask you a question.
Bellicheat and the evil organization known as the Patriots made a conscious choice to basically never be great but always continue to fill their team with young players, focus entirely on offense and never get fucked by the salary cap so that they would always be competitive. It helps that they worship Satan and play in a pathetic division that makes the NFC North look competent, but that has been their strategy for years. And for the most part it has worked and they have won many AFC East Division titles and dominated many a power ranking.
My question to you is that do you evil, good for nothing bastards agree with this choice of continued regular season success or do you wish that the Patriots had gone for it and paid the price for high priced talent (especially on defense and at quarterback where they need it) to get that first legitimate Superbowl but in the process killing your ability to compete in the future?
Two more questions. Did most of your mother abuse alcohol and other drugs while pregnant? And was it Dungeons and Dragons and Nintendo that enticed you to worship Satan or was it something else?

The Texans aren't getting a first round pick for Andre Johnson.
