Hmm... might be the first DLC I buy for the game. Thanks for the heads up.

Chargers cut Spikes, wonder if they're planning on taking Teo.

We had a spiffy Olympic-sized pool built and open by the beginning of my senior year. At that same time our music department was cut down to nil. The power of athletics.

Water Polo is the dirtiest sport in the world. If there aren't at least 10 attempts at murder by drowning, then you're not playing Water Polo. Terrible.
I didn't comment on the joke because it was awful. The Bears would sell out Soldier Field even if they were coming off an 0-16 season, they don't need to excite the fanbase to sell tickets. See Chicago Cubs or Chicago Bulls for recent examples of hot garbage teams selling out every year despite less than stellar product on the field.
No they're taking an OT. Whoever is the best OT available they'll take.

I wonder if sanjuro thinks Chicago fans are just bandwagon fans.
Well I'd guess around 75% of new blackhawks fans are on the wagon. The Hawks were drawing around 3-5k in the dark days a decade ago.
Honestly, I bought it all; it's not that I think any of them are worthwhile. I just want them to keep on bringing games over here, and the base game was more then worth the money I paid for it.

Yeah, I definitely understand that. I might go back and buy some of it eventually but the main game has kept me occupied for so long that I just haven't seen the need for it yet. So is Infinite Regalia basically just a quick way to get good weapons and access the Dread Fighter? Any reason to play it besides that?

Infinite Regalia = weapons + Eldigan from Fire Emblem 4 (He was a npc in that game, so it's first time he's playable).
Lost Bloodlines 2 = Alm + Dread Fighter scroll.

Just like how you think all Pats fans are bandwagon fans ?

Started seeing more Blackhawks gear around here in DC, so I'd say the bandwagon's getting full.
I don't really follow the NHL much, so I guess I'd default to being a Blue Jackets fan if anything. Bandwagon doesn't even exist there.

I have never said anything like that. Gator is a bandwagon fan for sure but I have said several times that people from the NE area absolutely should be Pats fans.
What about Germans?

It seems a bit curious if someone where to decided to root for a foreign sport and just happen to pick the most successful team, but if a person has some connection to an area and roots for the team from that area that would make sense to me.

Sounds like the kind of shitty decisions the Lions would make.

I hope the bandwagon crashes. Apparently the Blackhawks are the ones who are preventing an NHL team going to Wisconsin.
Its the best.
Only Nintendo would hold onto one of the greatest games and make them Japan only for 20 years.
The death mechanic really makes the game so much better. I can't recommend playing in pussy mode where deaths don't count. I had to restart Chapter 16 last night when a bunch of archers came out of nowhere and killed my Pegasus Knight.
The one advise I give to all newbies is try to level up at least one character in all of the separate classes. Never rely too much on the strong characters they start you out with. Those people always suck balls at the end of the game and steal all of the exp.
You cray.
The Atlantic is fugly and cold most of the time. The Pacific water is warmer, in general the beaches are more beautiful, and the color of the water doesn't look like the toilet after one of your celebratory dumps.
How would signing one of those guys be a shitty decision?
Welker lining up in the slot opposite of Megatron is shitty?
Using Reggie Bush off screens/draws and taking pressure off Stafford is shitty?
Having Revis on a defense that has Suh and Nick Fairley torturing QBs is shitty?
I can sense the nervousness in Packer fans and other NFC fans. If this was a team with Matt Millen as GM Id agree, but Mayhew has made mostly great decisions putting together this team.
A team in WI would make a lot more sense than anywhere south of Mason Dixon.

We went 10-6 once and made the playoffs too! You think before you speak next time, damn it
A young team combined with shitty special teams and injuries will do that to you.
There is no denying that this team has the young talent to do great things it just needs more veteran leadership and overall cohesion that comes with age.
We're certaintly a hell of a lot better off than the Nick Foles led Eagles.

Good thing for the Eagles they are not lead by Foles. I have no idea what team is in better shape, Eagles might have a coach though, whereas we know the Lions dont. I was a big believer in Stafford when he came out, but last year has totally soured me on him. He has terrible mechanics and just relies on a great WR to bail him out. I really dont think the Lions are going anywhere, the Eagles probably arnt either though if that helps you sleep at night.
Good news on both fronts. Baas' cap is extremely low now - I wonder how his cap hit will be next off-season where he will be a candidate for release. Webster's money is what I had expected in that $3.5-4.0M range.
There's still moves to make because they had to make tenders on the RFA and well as the rookie pool and any FA's they may be interested in.

I know right? You guys won way more games than the Eagles last season!
Eagles fan who do you think they should target in the FA market?
Eric Winston probably gets a look but considering his weakness, I don't think they will sign him. Still think then at #4 they select either one of the tackles Reid doesn't take.
That still leaves the top need at S, CB, DT, and LB depending on how or if they run the 3-4.
I look at the FA safeties and there are some quality players available:
Automatically knock off the guys over 30 and any Lions player and you are left with guys like Goldson, Moore, Quin, Philips, and Landry.
Would love for them to make Goldson the one big pick up especially now since we hired Gamble as our VP of player personnel. But really they should add one of these guys in addition to whoever they pick up in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Sick and tired of seeing clowns like Coleman, Allen, and Demps before them pretending to be NFL safeties.

Caplan said Quinn and the cb Smith from the Fins would be their top targets.
Fairweather fairy.
But those things are simply not true and the film is there to prove otherwise. You've been listening to Ron Jaworski a bit to much, who has disliked Stafford for whatever reason and will not ever give him credit.
Stafford distributes the ball as well as any QB in the league. Of his 41 TDs in his 2011 season, 16 went to Megatron the rest were evenly distributed to Pettigrew, Titus Young, Burleson and Jahvid Best.
The 2012 season saw our WR corp decimated and saw us starting Staffords drinking buddy from college against the Packers at Lambeau field on a nationally televised game.
Even when you look at Staffords TDs and yards for the 2012 season about 33% or so went to Megatron.
Its not like chucking it to Megatron is a bad thing either. When you have the arm of Stafford and skill of Megatron you have to do that a few times a game.
At the end of the day a WR is only as good as the QB throwing him the ball. Megatron would not have broken the all time WR yards record with Jon Kitna or Drew Stanton throwing him the ball.
I am thinking of Cali/Hawaii ocean and comparing it to Northeast Atlantic.
Obviously Atlantic is warm in Florida and the south, but I always preferred the Pacific.

You're not my mom, you can't tell me what to do.
It's a physics issue. Water swirls in a clockwise manner (in the Northern hemisphere). The water in the Atlantic comes up from the tropics, the water in the Pacific comes down from the arctic. In the summer, the ocean is warmer in NY than it is in LA.
