Has to happen. I said losing March would push them over the edge and we'd see a price drop. Didn't think they'd actually remove Kinect but damn good if it happens. Drop the price on it down to $399 and we have ourselves a war.

...and there it is.

$399

And just like that I'm somewhat interested in an Xbox now.

That wasn't too hard MS now was it?

*giggle*

 

[Himynameischris]

lol MS finally caved in huh, numbers must have been bad, in any case I still don't care about the xbox.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Finally. Might be time for me to jump in this holiday season. Still need a PS4, though. It's tough, these first world problems.

 

[DMczaf]

$399 Xbox One + Killer Instinct bundle, then I'll jump in.

Insider piece looking at how rookie QBs will be expected to do, and an interesting tidbit is Sando expects STL to play 8 games vs defense in top quartile, whereas Cincy will play just 1. Both Dalton and Bradford could be in their last year with their team, and something like that is pretty relevant

I might actually consider getting a Bone now. They just have to actually release a game for it that would interest me.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Started watching Hannibal (TV series) and man is it dark.

It's on network TV right? Can't be that dark or is it on premium channels?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

When did this Donald Sterling/Anderson Cooper interview happen? How am I just hearing this? This is riveting. Holy Mother of God is he crazy.

He just doesn't know when to shut up. It's actually hilarious watching him dig himself deeper.

I just wanted to post the link containing the data point I posted. I think Sando is one of the 5 best NFL writers out there, so I have no issue giving them the $8/yr, but I can see not wanting to give them any money for the way they cover sports

e: Rookies and the defenses they will face. Easy road for Teddy, tougher for JFF made worse w/o Gordon

They reversed nearly everything they were going to do at the initial E3 announcement. It's pretty hilarious.

Squick, I'm not paying $3.33 a month for ESPN.

From the brief snippet in the article still no mentions of Stafford. The whole world is sleeping on him and I can't wait till he drops 4 TDs a game on all y'all.

He has already proven himself, why are you sleeping on him ESPN/NFL? Is it because he doesn't post on Twitter everyday?

Why would an article about rookie QBs mention Stafford?

Other than to point out that all these rookies have a much better/less borked throwing motion?

To answer that question, we must first look at what the Texans were. I’d never call an NFL team soft or finesse, but the Texans reputation throughout the league wasn’t one that elicited fear of being physically manhandled for 60 minutes. Many thought the zone blocking scheme exacerbated that reputation, regardless of how erroneous those thoughts may have been.

That all changed after this draft was over.

The Texans draftees are big, fast and physical, stressing the big, fast and physical parts. UCLA G/T Xavier Su’a-Filo was the best run blocking interior lineman I studied. Iowa TE C.J Fiedrorowicz was the best Y (in-line, tradition) tight end on the board and clearly the best run blocking tight end in this draft class.

Notre Dame NT Louis Nix is 330 pounds, give or take a few biscuits, and when healthy, he’s the best nose tackle in this class and it’s not even close. Auburn FB Jay Prosch was so highly thought of as a blocker that Auburn ran nearly its entire offense behind him. I saw him bury linebackers at the Senior Bowl, but more importantly, I HEARD it. You can hear physical players and teams; you don’t need to see them.

And, I haven’t even mentioned the guy that went number one who’s pretty good, too. I seem to remember a hit that he had that more than proves my point.

All ten selections may not make the team and it’s a near impossibility for all ten to be here two or three years into the future. But, that’s not the point. Teams around the league took notice of what Rick Smith and Bill O’Brien did throughout this draft. You coming to Reliant/NRG Stadium this year? Gear up, buckle up and ice up…it’s going to be a long day. I like that. A lot.

John Harris write up on Texans drfat and nails my feelings almost exactly. BOB's fingerprints and what he want is all over this draft

Haden extended!

@AdamSchefter: Browns CB Joe Haden agreed to 5-year extension with CLEV, as @ProFootballTalk reported. Am told it's a $58M deal, including $23M guaranteed.

Nice! He deserved it. Great to have two younger corners locked up for a long time now. Nice to see Jimmy H actually using some of that Cap room.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Can't wait for the Cards to give mediocre-ass Patrick Peterson a $100M extension.

 

[squicken]

Most games vs top-tier defenses since 2010: Browns 23, Ravens 22, Rams 22. Fewest: Bucs, Panthers, Texans and Jets 12 each.

Got that from Sando. Didn't expect to see Cam with such a soft schedule. Might also put Flacco in a different context. Middling QB play vs a killer schedule isn't that bad

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Haden extended!

Farmer did good. Guaranteed money looks better from Schefter.

 

[MRSA]

Oh my sweet Tebow, I was reminded that the Raiders drafted Derek Carr, god he's terrible. Just rewatch his final game against USC, the only competent defense he's faced and he fuckin blew it.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Kinectless Xbone and no paywall for apps? I need to get to gaming side because this is gonna be good.

Seems frequent to see the AFCN teams with above-average defenses at the least. What helps unibrow is his defense stopping the opposing offenses and getting shorter fields.

A Carr & Schaub on a team that's NOT located in Houston.

This makes me smile.

THat's why he's 3rd string right now.

Is Tebow going to try out for an NFL or CFL team?

Right now the Only NFL team that I can see giving him a shot is the Fish once Philbin is fired.

Great show though. One of my favorites at the moment.

Good point. I was so glad we started getting good drive stats last year. I know BAL has had consistently good ST over the years as well

Don't you bad mouth Pennington, you cranky yankee!

At least when the Dolphins have a sucky QB they move on fairly quickly, unlike the Jets who stick with a guy like Sanchez for years longer than they should.

What did the jets do this offseason? Keep Geno and sign Vick? So more trash at the QB position. Nice.
