Whaaaaat. Blasphemer of the poultry. Dwarf house is the shit. Breakfast buffets on Saturday mornings. Get as many chicken fillets as you want.
Is that where chik fil a originated from? GA?

Arian Foster shutting down his twitter account? Truly the No Fun League.
The original Dwarf House is in Hapeville, which is south of Atlanta I think? The difference with the Dwarf Houses is that they have a sit down component in the back.
There are 11 Dwarf Houses around the metro Atlanta area now.
There's a Chick-Fil-A literally 1 min from my house back in Charlotte, but basically nonexistant in NYC
Apparently there's one in the NYU food court, but I'm never down there anyway.BlackGhost

This might sound crazy but I would welcome Young to compete for a job on the browns. Well just for a stop gap Qb.

You don't want a QB that will literally walk out on you.

Unless his whole attitude has changed since he was with the Eagles I cant see any team wanting him. Reid has a rep for making QB better and VY really had a chance to save his career and he was super lazy, there were reports he didnt know the plays, he had a chance to salvage that season and get the Eagles into the playoffs and he was terrible in all but 1 game.
I know this isn't unprecedented, but he's really good and our OL isn't that stacked, so I kinda expected them to work something out.
Having a great German player on "my" team is just something I've always loved.
I wonder how bad his back really is...

I actually don't ever eat fast food. Only time is when we do a long drive to Chicago, and we usually stop at Culver's, which is great.

Oo well Moore Vs weeden is my ideal Qb battle for the offseason anyway. I think we draft someone in the late round to develop for a backup. I like Matt Scott right now but looking at all the other Qbs too

Shaun Hill is a legit starting quarterback and you guys are hiding him.
...........................................................with all the food available in Ann Arbor, you want a chik-fil-a?
Man.
Just...dang.
No one counted on Stafford getting fat and healthy.
I lived in Chicago for five years, man. Ann Arbor's restaurant scene doesn't do much for me, outside of Zingerman's.
Worse Indian. Worse Mediterranean. MUCH worse Italian and New American. No decent Chinese, Mexican or Vietnamese food to be seen for miles.
We also cook 7 nights a week.

Have you gotten to play it yet, and if so what are your thoughts?

Sounds like the Woodlands.
Everything is severely overpriced and pretty awful here. I've had too many meals walking out saying "I paid 30 bucks for that?".
That said, I found pretty good Chinese food and Chuy's makes some awesome fajitas so the wife and I usually just get the combo fajitas for two.
Just played through the tutorial. It's ugly and dumbed down. It stole the best parts of Anno and Tropico though so maybe I won't hate it.
Seriously. Everytime I'm back in Chicago, I go down to Pilsen and Chinatown for some pollo en mole and peking duck (or shrimp dumplings or sticky rice or...), respectively.
At least you have good barbeque in your area, right? That's something that can't be found in Chicago (other than Smoque, but it's a pain in the ass to get there).
You don't know what you've lost until it's gone.

SimCity seems cool but I think I'll wait.
Watched some videos and the city size thing is kinda bumming me out.

Not being able to connect to North American servers is a load of crap. Typical EA I guess.
It certainly is different coming from a major city. Course, at the time I was into diner and pub food, of which Ann Arbor has tons. I might be getting spoiled by DC's food choices now. Although I'll never find Mediterranean as good as Dearborn's unless I happen to cross an ocean.
Alright so 4 chapters in and I feel safe in saying that I'm really liking the new Fire Emblem game. Really getting into the world and characters. I'm usually not that big on RPGs but the strategic elements mixed in this game makes better than the average RPG to me.
Quick question that I know I will find out soon enough but will ask anyway, I'm playing Normal/Classic mode and I lost a unit in a tournament. Even though it was a tournament, is that unit still gone forever?

Yeah, they're gone. Don't feel bad about resetting if you don't want to lose them though, that's how most people play FE.

Nice hire of Farmer, it was rumored he would be our GM before the Lombardi hire. I'm actually quite optimistic about our front office.
.........also just to through it out there what job is Heckert holding right now?.....ooo yeah.....not saying I hate Heckert but just saying Browns fans overvalued him because he actually brought some talent. People acted like all his picks were the greatest ever

Reset as in restart the game from the beginning? I don't think I want to do that. I actually kinda like the added "realism" that adds.

No, just reset the chapter. You can try an ironman run where you just attempt to keep going no matter what happens but it's probably going to get rough later on... Then again I haven't played on normal so maybe you'll be okay.
All that but I think a lot of people (myself included) just wanted some stability for once. Just wanted to see what the dude could do given the time to make the selections he wanted.
Thankfully now though at least we will see this regime ride out these guys and give them all the time needed to either destroy us further or bring us to the promised land.
Apparently, normal is incredibly easy this time, people have been complaining about stomping though it.

Any of you Yankee heathens watching the big soccer game tonight?

Since 2009, no WR has more 40-yard catches (27) or 40-yard TDs (16) than Mike Wallace. He's going to be a rich man. Huge loss for Steelers.
That's a lot of big plays to replace. Probably not good though and easily replaced by Sanders or Brown in that system

Isn't that match supposed to symbolize everything that is wrong with European soccer?

Yeah and I think we have enough people now that well have a good set of checks and balances. Now time for FA and draft to come.
Judging from the combine, fast guys are plentiful. Wallace's best work was done running vertically and not much else. Suck up the safeties with a good pa, and throw over the top to a really fast guy. Maybe the Steelers will find a fast guy in the 4th round that can actually catch the ball. Sounds like an upgrade and major salary cap savings to me!
...the Dortmund game or the two big outspenders?
Ah ok. Gotcha.
Yes, even though this is my first experience with the series, normal is seeming pretty easy to me.

Americans hating capitalism. Shame on you, Commie.
From a moral standpoint it might be (Although Manchester City is the worst team in the world regarding buying succes), but these are also 2 of the biggest clubs in the world with some of the biggest stars in the game today.
Ronaldo and RVP.

Wallace is fast, no doubt. His problem is that's all he really is. Poor route runner, hates contact, and if the ball is contested he'll drop it.

The Lions signed Blake Clingan as punter a punter.
Apparently he's been out of football for two years, but played at the University of Central Florida. Anybody familiar?

They will give him extension to reduce the cap hit in 2016, or he will be cut...
Can't, cap hit for 2017 could be $40m plus...they will have to extend him or cut it...

Future give us the scoop on Canty.
I'd probably rather have Canty but Jenkins knows the system and would be cheaper so it's just odd is all.
