It's over for him. He isn't retiring due to the salary considerations but this is the end of his career.

I'll hold out and see if the VPN stuff works this season. It was active all season and playoffs for me thanks to someone on The Coli having a cookie for posters each week.

I'm definitely getting cable this season though, and my first flat screen TV. Chromecast too.

It's not looking good right now for those who are hoping to get Gamepass for free again this year. It seems that the NFL did away with it being free in any region, which means even if you can find a VPN that isn't blacklisted, you still have to pay.

My understanding of the cookie trick was it was people who had access to Gamepass posting their cookie publicly so people could duplicate it and Gamepass would think it was the original session? I guess that could technically still work, but you are dependent on other people (who have shelled out over a hundred bucks for access) sharing their cookie.

Guy, you realize you are admitting to taking a month to read a childrens book?
Click to expand...
:lol

Those books take like a day to read through. Pure fluff.

eznark said:
So I am halfway through book 8(?) path of daggers, and I get why bionic kept calling Perrin a bitch. Perrin is basically bionic. Living in constant fear of his overbearing and manipulative wife. Mirrors can be hurtful.

Also, I mean to ask this earlier but what the fuck. The Domani are the whore's arom arad doman, but the domani are also the leashed witches? Why call them the same thing?!
Click to expand...
Perrins descent into bitchdom has just started dude! If this was a Martin book he would spend at least 100 pages describing in disgusting detail how his cock would shrink into his body over each successive bitchmade move.

Also if I am a bitch for spending a lot with my family and you are a divorce waiting to happen and strong candidate for ironic father of the year because you seem to go weeks without seeing your family then what does GAF (the most trusted place on the internet for opinions on relationships and horrible movies and video games) find to be the correct level of time to spend with the family?

K&P did a good job summarizing how most of you fools actually act with your women:

The good news for David is that he'll walk away getting the bulk of his rookie contract.

Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo 2m
About $5.4m thru 2014. Owed $1.3m next yr. Will get most of that. RT

Hence why he's being placed on IR and not outright retiring. So that he can receive his salary.

Got into a car accident 2 hours ago. Ford explorer changed lanes then slammed on the brakes. Couldn't stop in time. Driver was about 17. My beautiful car is a write off for sure.

Tore my right patella, will need surgery. Weeeee

I assume he will work out a deal with the Giants, like Collins did.

This is like when video game companies announce the trailer will come out a month later.

Except the retirement is next year when the new wing is finished.

Whatever. Good job getting it done lets move on.

They're apparently doing the actual ceremony during the summer instead of during a game. I think they're really afraid of all the anger that persists out there mucking it up. I guarantee you'd hear boos unless it was done maybe 20 years from now.

I know I'm not particularly fond of the guy...and that's an improvement from a few years ago where I outright hated the dude with the fire of 1000 suns. Rodgers winning the Super Bowl and Favre's fall from grace did a lot to ease the pain.

Sorry to hear that, my friend. I hope you heal up quickly. Glad to hear that you're okay other than that.

Yeah. They'll do right by him. They took care of Chad Jones a few years back after his accident in New Orleans almost got his leg amputated. Took care of all his medical bills, rehab, etc. and he walked away with a nice chunk of change.

That sucks.

Surgery is not fun (mostly because being in a hospital is the worst) but rehab after surgery really sucks.

Get well soon dude.

On the bright side, at least you're getting a new car!

If you get any oxycodone, we can also be bff.

Damn man, hope it's a swift recovery. On the plus you might be able to dunk over Greg once you've recovered.

I know I've mentioned it before but the David Wilson stuff really sucks for me from a personal perspective. Wilson was a huge star of VT's football team during my time there so I associate many of his breakout runs with my favorite part of attending VT. After following his college career so closely I was incredibly excited to see what he could do in the NFL.

All of that said, I'm glad his injuries aren't serious enough to drastically impact his life outside of football (or at least it appears that way). Good to hear that the Giants did him right.

Thanks for the memories, David.

Get well soon Deacon.

On a positive note, the new NFL app for XBone will have ESPN and Yahoo fantasy integration apparently. And you can use it to stream Sunday Ticket (with or without DirectTV, still costs a ton tho).

Glad you're ok Deacon. Often you don't feel the true damage of a non-fatal car accident until many hours or even a day later. Get your drugs on bro.

on last night's game...
I know it's easy and just the preseason but jeez the Giants O-Line looked meh. I can imagine the Lions destroying them on MNF next month. In fact, if we lose to the Giants at home it'll be a sign that this is going to be a long, ugly season.

We both have full insurance. Seems they will be at fault too. I'm a bit loopy on percoset right now..that's fun.
Click to expand...
Percocet didn't give me any of that. I don't know if it's just because I had such real pain after my surgery, but it did a great job at making me feel very little. But I had all my motor skills and never felt weird.

His now career highlights:

God he was a one man team against the Saints that year. 3 rushing TD's and over 200 yards in return yardage in that game.

How much longer do people think he has in the league? Serious question. With how often he's hit, his injury history, and his age (33 in March), his next contract should/will probably be his last, regardless of how long it is.
Click to expand...

Probably at least 3-4 more years, hopefully 5-6. It's why getting rid of Arians and bringing in Haley was important. It wasn't a popular decision, but it'll extend Ben's career several years.
