I guess it only makes sense that an SF team does this:
Niners are the first NFL team to film an "it gets better" video.

How bout dat Russell Wilson, eh? I knew he'd blow up. Pete better do the right thing and give him the starting gig. Flynn is about to join the ranks of Cassell and Kolb.

he has looked great but lets remember a few things:

1. he did this against the chiefs.... the same chiefs team that made sam grampsford look like a hall of famer last week
2. he hasn't played a regular season game
3. he is actually legally defined as a "little person"
4. he is a filthy seachicken

all joking aside he has shown some potential. i hope the seachickens start him because i guarantee there will be enough growing pains early that they will be out of the division race late! but i'd probably take him over noodle arm flynn. for once the NFL was smart and didn't give the packers anything for a shitty backup. i guess only the eagles have the ability to fleece teams!

I pretty much agree with everything in this article:

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/08/25/2967161/miami-dolphins-dress-rehersal.html

But know this: The problem with this offense right now (and by extension this team) does not start with Tannehill, with his raw inexperience or with all he has to learn.
The problem is everybody else.
Click to expand...

The problem with Tannehill is his non-supporting cast. This poor kid doesn’t need a playbook, he needs a Help Wanted sign.

To be fair, Jake Long is an excellent left tackle, of course. And Reggie Bush is a decent running back in glimpses and spurts, though closer to just-OK than elite.

But that’s about it.
Click to expand...

I hate to use jargon or technical terms, but if you’d indulge me I’d say this Miami offense looks downright stinky.

New coach Joe Philbin and new offensive coordinator Mike Sherman are trying to mask the lack of playmakers with tempo and speed, with a fast-paced attack that often dispenses with the traditional huddle and makes routine the pace of a two-minute drill.
Click to expand...

How come Atlanta has a blossoming quarterback in Matt Ryan — whom the Dolphins could have drafted instead of Long a few years back — while Miami is tardily just now getting around to a long-term solution there?

How come the Falcons have a better runner, in Michael Turner, than anyone here?

How come the Falcons have an accomplished tight end in Tony Gonzalez while the best Miami can offer is ordinary Anthony Fasano, whose three drops Friday included one on the goal line?

How come Atlanta has two very good wide receivers in Roddy White and Julio Jones while Miami is stuck with an undistinguished group — maybe the worst in the league — that Ireland himself described on Hard Knocks as a collection of “fours, fives and sixes”?

How did it get to this point that Atlanta has assembled an offense that helps make Ryan’s job look easy while Miami is saddled with an offense that makes Tannehill’s job so much harder?
Click to expand...

Our offense just plain sucks. Bess is our only decent receiver, but other than that, shitty recievers and tight ends.

Feel free to post the link. And I'll be happy with 2, 4 or 6 more. I can always cut the league down to fit (as long as there's an even number of teams.)

Draft is set for 8/31 @ 5 pm eastern. I can probably move it, if necessary. The only requirement I have for joiners is to identify yourself when you join. Either make it obvious in your team name or post a note in the league.

PSN is shitty. Transformers demo took me near two hours to download then I had to wait 10 more minutes for it to install. 360 version took 20 minutes with no installation time.

Same internet connection and same router. My guess would be MS has some patent on how it downloads. Patents are all the rage these days.

I'm the opposite. 360 downloads are slow as molasses while PS3 downloads are fast (install time is a different thing though).

Maybe it is a So Cal thing like Rors said. ;)

I still had some issues trying to download the Dust 514 beta. It'd get to 98% or 99% and then just die out on me and I'd have to restart it. Then it'd finish and be corrupted so I had to do it all over again. Never had this problem before but it's working fine now.

I've noticed a difference between the two as well. Like others have said Steam is fast. It took me several hours to download MLB: The Show on the Vita, which irc was around 3 GB. I can't really complain too much considering it's free, but it could be better.

:jnc @ the callout.

I'm in the midwest maybe that has something to do with it. Even with that said download methods having separate methods is bad design.

PSN can be slow as fuck, sometimes I start it up to play GT5 and before I can play again after PSN updates and GT5 updates I've already lost like half an hour. And I have 100 MB Internet so it's not me, it's them.

i used to fucking hate PSN because i had that problem and recently (within the last year) shit has been lightning fast for me. i have no idea why because nothing in my setup changed (i'm on wireless btw)

PSN has improved so much since it first debuted. really like both PSN and xbl to be honest. the thing i like most about psn is that i'm not bombarded with ads as soon as i get on. im not usually one to complain about ads but the way that MS has the dashboard setup makes it so jumbled

PSN has always been fast when downloading a rented movie for me. And this is over wifi with the first gen model.

Greatest Madden preview vid ever? Two guys who don't follow football play Madden 13:

It's so funny to me that the things that myself, and anyone who plays these games annually, find so terrible in Madden are still terrible to the absolute most casual football fans.

Jeff doing a robot voice for Gronk in each of his TD catches was hilarious. Movement in Madden can look so damn robotic.

Yeah it's so much better than Madden itself.

The ending to the video is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. FIFA has had the same problems with players randomly tripping over each other but nothing remotely like that. Would love to see that shit happen in real life.

Any chance we can move our draft time to earlier that same day? Say around 4-5pm instead? Will be at a wedding later.

If not no biggie I'll rank my players and let the cpu pick.
