Dammit Grover, first you're a Panthers fan and then you make me think Frank's back for a split second?

I wish a lifetime of Jimmy Clausen at QB on you.

what happened?

it seems to have driver issues up the ass that forces me to reset the pc like every 4 weeks. im guessing something with the video card??

if i don't reset it, it just ends up with the bsof, and the laptop ends up in a loop restarting itself.

lucky for me, before it happened the first time i bought a 2tb wd external hard drive to back up my stuff regularly. it came with windows 8 out the box, but i think it had windows 7 on at some point (even though i bought it new). i think that might have something to do with the driver errors for this particular model- based off something i read.

it sucks because i just got it early last year, and didn't plan on buying another laptop so soon. i think im going macbook this yr or next.

That's what you get for buying a sony product.

it was part of an awesome deal for college students :-(

The Raiders are actively shopping Terrelle Pryor. Good luck with that.



lol doubt we'll even get a 7th.


Edit: We also used the transition tag on Lamaar Houston.
 
Just got back from laser quest, shit can be pretty tiring. Think I ruined some of those kids days, I was performing some high quality barrel rolls

BlackGhost: Laserquest, meaning Lasertag? Holy shit last time I went was when I was about 14 (so 11-12 years ago).

I think my 6'5 240 lb ass should show randomly to one of those lasertag places in some Master Chief gear and enter some random kids birthday party match and fuck shit up.

If you have the cash always get a Mac laptop.

PCs are the way to go for desktops though.

i plan on going macbook this summer or next yr.

i don't think i'll leave the windows on the desktop side. the value is just too good, more for your money imo. and the pc i have back at home is awesome, 0 issues with windows 8 on that thing.

Mech what has happened to you?

More teams should use the transition tag. Especially good move by Oakland. They can match any sort of poison pill deal but get the benefit of paying him much less than the franchise tag

Yeah, me and my buddies used to have a blast going during our early teens. If the tech has improved since I last went (meaning hit detection) I actually wouldn't mind setting up some sort of 6v6 match with some of my old middle school friends.

We don't have the infinite energy like we had back then so it would be interesting seeing how some of the cig smokers, alcoholics etc. handle that deathmatch haha.

Squicken, you have any favorite Inside LBs coming out? Question goes to everyone too

I guess Mosley, but I'm just a little weary of all these Bama guys coming out of school so beat up. He's already had like 5 surgeries. But he's the best one as far as talent. The rest all have some other big flaw as far as size or speed or both. I don't see any guy who would be a 3 down LB amongst the guys who are listed as ILB

I felt like hell last night, but now it's just an annoyance and I'm sleepy

could just be bad luck with hardware

or all that porn

Are you the real Greg? Prove it! Dunk a basketball!
SOCOM is the greatest game of all time, and HSG is the best game on the Vita

the real greg is too short to dunk. it's a trick, fake greg!
5'8.??" isn't too short, damnit!

This NFL.com mock draft has Sammy Watkins falling to us at #10. Khalil Mack and Eric Ebron rise in a lot of GM offices will have Sammy Watkins falling to us. With Pettigrew about to go though, Eric Ebron and his 4.5 TE speed is mighty tempting.

Controversial opinion time:

I was talking about this with my brother today, and with Suh's upcoming contract extension, we're obviously going to have 3 big contracts to 3 amazing players. It's going to take up a lot of cap space, but having three elite, young players like Stafford Suh and Megatron you have to keep them.

However as Megatron gets older in age I really think we should consider trading him for picks next year or so. This all depends on how Stafford does, and I think Stafford will return to 2011 form with a solid receiving core.

Megatron will be close to 30 by the end of next season, and him being so big I think his knees will give out eventually. Depending on what happens next season I think we could get a couple of 1st rounders or a 1st and 2nd, and free up cap space.

Again this all comes down to what happens next season, but we will have the best defensive lineman in the league signed long term, along with one of the best QBs in the league. Megatron has been unbelievable, and one of the greatest players in NFL history on and off the field, but I think we should look toward the future if Sammy Watkins/Mike Evans/Ebron pan out. We can free up so much cap space, plus get a ton of draft picks,

Chris Borland? Christan Jones ?

Go get him Chip!

jnc at the Lions trading Megatron. Fatford is terrible with out him pulling down wild chucks while being triple covered.

Well Borland is supposed to be Zach Thomas short. I think Pettine likes his ILBs a bit bigger than that. Jones idk. Haven't seen much of him

Depends on his knees. Andre Johnson has had a long career, but part of that is his injuries have been muscle injuries. I think he has had an ankle problem too, but nothing like Megatron's knees. I see your point about trading him if he is close to breaking down, but the rest of the league would also see him breaking down, and value him accordingly. I think that's why it's so important to have a good WR corps on any team. So that one guy going down doesn't stall the whole offense

Okay kas I have to know.

What would you say are the odds of the Lions winning the Super Bowl in the next 5 years?

I thought you were Ninja Scooter for a second.

If Stafford plays as he did in the 2011 season and we get a decent WR core through the draft? I think very high odds as in 8 to 1. Mainly because I think we have a very good talented team that is young and is built for the future.

It all comes down to Stafford and I've watched almost every game the guy has played in his career. The guy is extremely talented and gifted, but we've sorely lacked a decent #2, #3 since 2011 when we had Titus Young and a younger, healthier Nate Burleson.

Its a myth that Stafford just chucks it up to Megatron. At times he's had to due having no one else to throw to, but when Stafford has options, he'll go through his reads quickly and deliver the ball to whoever is open at a faster velocity than just about anyone in the NFL (only Rodgers and Cutler match up to him IMO).
 
Still watching Rb highlights, watching Ka'Deem Carey right now, I know Browns met with him today.
Just watched Teddys presser form today and I swear every answer he gave was describing what O'Brien wants in a QB.
Mech, do you know who you personally want at Qb yet? Not sure how much college ball you watch

Edit: Squicken, on Borland he's one of the guys that the browns really like rumor has it
