I was having a glorious dream About Tebow, but as soon as it was getting magical somebody knocked on my door. Smh

Oh geez, I just realized that its almost that time where I'm gonna see nothing but the NBA on sports center
You bastard.
You got college basketball until early April too. Which makes it tolerable.

Hence the time when I stop watching SC (and ESPN entirely, basically).

Yeah, I'm not ready to give up on Weeds yet, he wasnt HORRIBLE. People that compare him to RG3 and Luck are stupid.
lol you watch SportsCenter
I seem to recall Weeden making a lot of decent passes through the year only for whatever stone hands are on that team to completely fail the one job they have to do.

NY Daily News has an article covering what I already had a few months ago dealing with some of the roster turnover the Giants are going to work through this offseason along with a fairly significant list of FA's they'll look to sign.
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...ions-await-giants-offseason-article-1.1227331
FA list (with some of my own thoughts)
Kenny Phillips - Reese will give him a lowball "prove" it contract much like T2. Likely 2-2.5 million for 2103 with a nice bump in salary if he manages to stay healthy past that. If he doesn't, the Giants lose nothing (financially at least). Stevie Brown has made him a bit more expendable but I'd still like to retain Kenny. Stevie doesn't have his coverage ability, IMO.
Will Beatty - Due for a big pay day no matter how you slice it. Beatty is our LT of the future and was easily the best lineman all season long. First full season as a starter and he proved out why Reese drafted him in the 2nd round. HUGE upgrade over Diehl.
Kevin Boothe - He's not going to get the same pay day as Beatty but Reese will pay him fair market value for a decent Guard. Boothe has outplayed his contract and has been steady all season.
Martellus Bennett - He'll be resigned. Marty played well and proved he can be far more than Ballard or Boss ever was for us. Great blocker and an excellent red zone target for Eli. He won't command huge money.
Bear Pascoe
Travis Beckum - Gone. He's done nothing and I doubt he ever will. Injury prone to boot.
Chase Blackburn - Gone. Time to get younger and faster. I love Chase and he always seems to make a good play when you least expect it but he's slow.
Lawrence Tynes - Outside of the last few weeks, Tynes has had a great season. I don't see any reason why we don't resign him.
(those highlighted in black are the essential "keepers")
Osi is gone, Diehl is gone.
I don't believe Webster will be cut. He'll be asked to take a substantial pay cut to remain on the roster (since we're think at CB) but he won't be outright cut.
The big question is what to do with Tuck. 4.5 million isn't exactly breaking the bank but we would need to shed some cap space to make it work. I don't believe he'll be cut either personally considering Osi will be moving on.
Missing from the article and conversation is Chris Snee. Another one I don't think will be outright cut (not to mention he's Coughlin's son in law) but injuries and time have made the previous mauler a shell of his former self.

It may appear that I hate Weeden but I don't, I was just severly disappointed when we took him at 22. My exact quote to my brother was "this is the worst day of my voice" (in a drake singing voice).
In all truth: I think I was the only one championing Schaub, maybe Matrix.
Beat the Texans then choke in the playoffs?

Still surprised you let us outbid you. You've wasted picks in the past on trying to get "the guy", and we've never focused completely on the position in a while.
Hopefully you guys don't stay shy about drafting at the QB position just because it hasn't worked out for you the last few years. You still need the guy.
Think thats bad? the 2012 Saints defense has a bunch of first round picks in it.
Cant think of a single one that has panned out.

I've come to the realization I blame it all on Holmgren, it's how I make myself feel better.
Anybody know if the kettlebells they sell at Dick's are worth a shit? Looking at this one http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12433017.
Kinda worried that it's in a non-standard weight.

Remember when you clicked the X button in the upper right hand corner to get off GAF
Since that Thursday night game I will say the receivers have stepped their game up. Only bad drop I can think of after that was Josh Gordon's potential game winner against the Colts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXJMmcOob4g
You fucking young bastard! Get that Drizzy voice out of here!
He can still do this though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=-14SQSkRvkE&NR=1
I think he has quite a lot of potential. Get him some help.
The only problem is he lost a lot of developmental years by being drafted so late.
:lol
He's done well enough that people aren't saying "you guys wasted a 2nd rounder". I disagree about him losing development years though, he's still only 21 years old and yeah he did miss all of last season in college but just looking at him he's still pretty raw and he's managing to do all this. With the right coaching (thank god Shurmur is leaving) he could really turn into something nice.
Hell him being the deep threat he has allowed Greg Little to thrive as well.
And we are still developing Travis Benjamin who is probably the fastest guy on the team and who will most likely be taking over the return duties for Cribbs next season:

I think the best thing the Browns could do this offseason is bring in a solid veteran to help mentor these young guys. For once WR isn't something that we desperately need in the draft. Of course if a solid one comes our way go for it though.

You use to be so happy, I'm glad your fraud team has brought you down to earth. Shame circle time bro?
He got cocky. He dare make fun of me and the shame circle decided enough was enough.
Guess I had something to do with that then too when I wouldn't let you be a Texans fan for a game. Is there anything we can do to repent?
:jnc
As long as Denver gets the 2 seed, I'm happy. 1 seed would be nice, but I'm not sure if the Colts can pull it off. I get the feeling the Texans are packing it in to a certain degree, we will see Sunday I guess.

Go Colts
Rob Parker was wrong in every single thing he said :jnc
Jaguars, 49ers, Colts. You're a regular Squicken aren't you?
Missed this. So looks like Weeden will probably be out against the Steelers.
I also expect Trent to miss the game so the Colt fans can use that as an excuse for why he may suck it up on Sunday.

We will look back and wonder when Mech snapped,and I will remind everyone that it happened when the Texans lost to the Patriots.

Finished up Portal 2. Good shit!
My wife got me a Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuk for the Wii U (since I sold off my Wii long ago but kept a great many of the games). I've been revisiting Super Mario Galaxy and boy did I forgot how great the game is....
