no you don't. The jaggies make the games look uglier than Vince Wilfork's wife.

Anyone remember that episode of 70 show where the gay couple moves into the neighborhood? Red learns to accept who they are but then finds out they are Viking fans and claims they disgusting freaks.
NO/ATL is becoming a pretty heated rivalry. Especially since both teams are pretty competitive lately. If the Saints defense improves much it will be a lot closer fight with the dirty birds this year and we can get back to those crazy close divisional games.
That certainly looks like a Tv to me.
this is why we shouldve never expanded the union

All the Browns fans have left is bitter, stupid hate, especially when it comes to the Steelers. If you take that, then they truly have nothing.
Thought experiment/speculation about how the Seahawks' front seven will play out with all the new additions.
Highlights include Bruce Irvin moving to SAM, Cliff Avril not having an obvious (to an outsider) spot, and Jesse Williams potentially being a starter.

Gracie, grazie. I love IV but hey to each their own!
Hopefully V blows the doors off like I'm expecting it to.
ESPN would cancel MNF for reruns of those games.
Yeah, I hope so too. Since I've always preferred the SA setting and they said they'd improve the handling, I can't see a reason why I wouldn't love it.
I just wanna go offroad again!
Ill take it if you still have it. Mostly an nfl thread lurker except on sundays
Honestly, this is going to be a very weird comparison but Clowney's dominance from hs to college is like AP's. Luck was a four star out of hs, Clowney just made everybody drool.
Might want to put that in the Professor Football thread so it doesn't get lost
Will do.

Took some time to watch some tape on Cordarelle Patterson.
Very very optimistic about him. Holy cow he is dynamic.

Clowney is almost more comparable to Lebron than Luck, just due to how dominant he was already coming out of high school. No football star can really compare to Lebron, but Clowney already has a sort of legend built around him.

Saints/Cowboys rivalry is pretty good right now too. Lots of people in north/west Louisiana are Dallas fans and it makes for good family drama, mine included. Fucking Lake Charles.

How else is Papa Philbin supposed to control those heathens?

It's hard to cultivate tradition when your division sucks shit. It has very little to do with location. Cowboys are nowhere near the Redskins and their rivalry was at a fever pitch when both teams were relevant.
Location is only really a factor when your team sucks ass. Being good is what matters. Also, :jnc at mech beating the realignment drum again. Cowboys aren't going anywhere, get over it.
Am I the only one that thought what Wallace said really wasn't that bad? It was certainly ignorant on a level that makes him look laughable, but it didn't seem to be the least bit hateful. He's certainly dumb as bricks though.
I don't know, maybe it's just because I have an incredibly low bar set for what I believe most athletes are capable of intellectually, but when the majority of the country still practices institutionalized homophobia by lacking same-sex marriage (with many states having legislation specifically banning it) it's hard for me to get on a guy who is just grossly uneducated on homosexuality.
Papa Philbin, are we there yet? Hope Pops don't miss the Superbowl exit.
I didn't say Luck, I said AP. AP had this level of clout in high school.

If he was more clever you could say it was a good natured but non-PC joke. Like you said players don't get that benefit of doubt though.
Atlanta and Tampa fans hate each other, even more than New Orleans fans. The Gruden-era Bucs had a reputation in the division as a bunch of dirty, after the whistle players.
Think the current Falcons and Saints players hate each others guts, though.

They do, and it's great. Car/NO players fucking hate each other too.

This last banning initially felt like an unfortunate misunderstanding. I had some posters who were willing to explain that I was referencing (what I presumed was) a very well-known comic panel, but I told them it would not be wise to associate with me and that whole situation.
Anyway, the draft.
I followed this thread the whole time, F'5ing like mad.
With teams in our division loving the 3-4 defense, drafting another first-round tight-end makes sense. NFL is a league of copy-cats, and New England's offense is really potent. I think it's a smart pick. I'm more of a casual fan of College Football, so I can't speak for Eifert's production. However, people seem pretty high on this pick. And the dude is HUGE. So I'm pretty excited. Now, with Sanu, Green, Gresham, and Eifert, Dalton has to make it happen. If the Bengals don't have a productive offensive season, we'll know what the problem is.
Any NC Gaffers care to give some insight on Bernard? UNC seems to be producing a lot of good NFL talent lately. I was positive Marvin Lewis(who now has GM power since his contract extension, which explains the fantastic drafts lately) was going to go with the seemingly obvious pick from Alabama Eddie Lacy. However, we all know Alabama's line is so beefy it makes mediocre talent look like Heisman candidates. I trust we made the right decision. Also, the Bengals were able to get a 2nd round safety to boot, which was probably the most pressing need going into camp. I'd like to thank the Oakland Raiders organization for making these picks possible.
The Bengals scoring defense was number 1 the last half of the season. Clearly, the offense was the much more pressing concern.
NOW, for you New England fans, I assure you that you will NOT be disappointed with Dobson. He is 1st round talent that, because of the level of competition was able to slink under the radar. The Marshall offense has been in constant flux, and it seems like we get a new QB every year lately. However, he is the kind of guy who makes bad throws connect with his athleticism and more importantly his AWARENESS. Good hands, too. It was a pleasure watching him play for the Herd, and it's a big loss for my college. However, with our 3rd straight bomb-ass recruiting class, things seem like they are back on track.

I have to admit, those trailers look exceptional. Hopefully it ends up being good.
PC version and cross-gen needs to be announced though.
EDIT: LA Noire was such garbage.

IV was so bad I am DONE with the franchise. It was way too serious. I want goofy fun.
okay this is awesome
Just started sleeping dogs on PC. Got steam keys for it and Hitman Absolution for like $7.50 a piece on enix's website. (and dead island for like 5 bucks, but I have no idea what to expect there)
Just played the real early stuff but it already feels promising. Combat is like a million times better than any other open world game. (at least the hand to hand as that's all I've experienced so far.

I'll gladly double dip just for volumetric clouds that were in trailer one but gone ever since.
