Man arguing with my friend about Cheatin' Pete has exhausted me. Then again my friend still supports Rex Ryan so why would I bother expecting him to recognize an ass clown when he sees one.

That Pete Carroll is a slime ball. It's not exactly a controversial statement since 95% of sports fans know this.

Haha pretty much.

His rationalization was that most coaches are including Belichick. I'm just saying people didn't seem to care that much that he did that fake FG bullshit last year. Guy is just a clown high on co-eds and pot. Probably some of my feeling is complete envy that he can get away with that shit and get paid millions. And some of it is he's a fucktwit.

Agreed. NSMB2 is a good game but you're liking of it is tied to how sick your are of the NSMB series. (I didn't finish the Wii U game cause I've had my fill of it to be frank)

3D Land is my favorite Mario game since Galaxy 2.

NSMB 2 is a great game. Meat of the game is beyond the initial run through, secret exits, star coins, coin challenges.

NSMB U is the same way. Some crazy stages in the end (star road) and some tough challenges.

I guess I'm kind of an exception, in that I've loved all of the NSMB series with the exception of the DS game (which was okay, not great).

I'll probably snag it cheap on Amazon Warehouse one of these days, definitely not paying full price for it though.

Worth full price if you attempt a complete playthrough. Otherwise, probably not.

Pete is a saint and a Belicheat fan should never try to slander another coach.

Don't have a Wii U yet, but thus far NSMB Wii>NSMB2>>>>NSMB. They killed it with the Wii game. Four-player got a little too chaotic for my tastes, but the level design was fantastic and the final boss encounter was incredibly awesome. My girlfriend and I plan to use the week between spring semester and summer classes to play through again and finally get to Star Road.

Adam Caplan says the rumor is that the Cardinals were targeting a CB in return, possibly Javier Arenas.

I don't know anything about Sherman outside of his PFF numbers, but I'd rather not lose Arenas. He's nothing amazing, but he's a good nickel corner, and played well in spot duty after the Chiefs cut Routt last year.

There's also the fact that the Chiefs just drafted a fullback. I dunno, Dave Toub probably likes him on ST.

Sherman was drafted foremost because he was the top ST player in that entire draft, supposedly. You'll definitely get some value there but I wouldn't be surprised if he easily beats out whoever you drafted for the position. Beanies numbers were seriously night and day when he had Sherman blocking for him from when he didn't. I'd really rather keep him to help the run game but Arians is all about them 2 TE sets.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9230556/dc-pol-suggests-redtails-name-change-washington-redskins

A member of the Washington D.C. Council said he plans to submit a resolution calling on the Washington Redskins to change their nickname because it is "racist and derogatory" and "it's time to make a change."

David Grosso suggested the team change its name to "Redtails" in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen, a pioneering group of African-American pilots who served the United States in World War II.

Sources say Dan Snyder has considered changing the name to be less offensive. Options include the Washington Redniggers.

"You can still sing the song and everything," Grosso, told The Washington Post and then sang, "Hail ... to the ... Redtails."

Grosso said, however, that Redtails was just a suggestion.

"I just don't want it to be offensive, and at the end, what I'd love to call them is world champions," he said, according to Washington Examiner.

Grosso told the Post that two other members of the 13-person council have agreed to sign the resolution, which would be nonbinding. The Examiner reported that at least eight members of the council support it.

"We have to change it, and I'm calling on [owner] Dan Snyder and the NFL to step up and do the right thing," Grosso said, according to the Examiner.

The Redskins' nickname is currently being challenged before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in a case filed by a group of five Native Americans aged between 18 and 24 in 2006. A hearing in the case was held in March.

The group of five Native American petitioners has to show that the name "Washington Redskins" was disparaging to a significant population of American Indians back when the team was granted the trademarks from 1967 to 1990.

The board can't stop the Redskins from using the name, but the loss of trademark protection would hurt the team financially from a marketing perspective, enough, the plaintiffs hope, for Snyder to consider a change.

There won't be a resolution in the trademark case any time soon. Lawyers said they expect the judges to take as long as a year to issue a ruling, and the Redskins are sure to appeal if it doesn't go their way. A similar case, ultimately won by the team, was filed in 1992 and needed 17 years to go through the legal system before the Supreme Court declined to intervene.

I wish they would change their name. Good thing someone in politics decided to show some balls.

I dunno, somewhere between half a thread not being able to read a simple graph, yesterday's discussions in the Jason Collins thread and this gem today, I get the feeling that more and more time is spent looking for the nuggets of insight and entertainment between all the idiocy...

Of course I have a certain amount of hyperbolic/shit posts too, but somedays it's just too much.

ahah! Deal with it dude, deal with it...

The Wii U version is the best out of that group imo. I would also agree with your order, NSMB 2 and the Wii version are very close as well.

A posters comment from BattleRedBlog about the Texans Sam Montgomery pick:

Many of you have pointed out that he is similar to Arian Foster and that is my kind of impression as well. Very humble, simple and honest to a fault. This would NOT play well with most teams but I think goes especially well with ours. I could see Sam and Arian having a discussion about the moral implications of Sonic chasing gold rings, taking place entirely in pterodactyl while playing call of duty. Harbaugh would have had an aneurysm before that sentence even finished, but I can see Kube’s & Wade being perfectly cool with it.

Redskins should change the name out of decency. Redtails would be cool. Washington Warriors could work as well if they wanted to keep the Native American theme.
