NHL Lockout With Your Cock Out |OT|

So I was at the bears game and Tommy hawk was there. That just made me more angry about this lockout.
Seeing Tommy Hawk would make anyone angry.

Hockey needs to come back. The (football) Jets are just too embarrassing to root for.

I'm getting back into NFL thanks to the lockout.
Hard to top that.
I may be biased but the amazing thing about that gif is Vince Wilfork picking up and tossing a 6'3" 305lb offensive lineman like a ragdoll.
Probably a big Thomas fan as well.
Edit: actually probably not. Just remembered her pic with Obama.

Since everyone here is always talking about Halo I thought I'd ask this here
Long story short, I might have to get rid of the Xbox I currently have (250gb) and buy a different one. Does the harddrive space really matter? What is it used for? Will I be ok getting the 4gb or will I be kicking myself down the road? I don't store music on it (use my iPod) and if I were to watch videos/movies I would use a flash drive too. I also don't buy a lot of shit on the marketplace.
Is the space mainly for demos, or will I eventually need more than 4gb for saves and mandatory DLC down the road?

Federal mediator now involved in NHL/NHLPA labor talks. More to come.

About fucking time.
Oh, cool. Now both sides have a 3rd party they can effectively tell to fuck off.
Bueno....

Hey a Toronto pro sports team won a championship.
I like the CFL, but we're reaching a little here calling an 8 team league a "pro" league, even if they do get paid.

Lets say I buy a game off of the marketplace or other huge thing (demo, etc), can I store those on the usb drive, or just shit like videos and music? And are these any old usb drives or do they have to be Xbox specific

Not sure why this wasn't done sooner. I think this was a game of chicken that the PA lost.
Stealth "Toronto has 0 Stanley Cups that count because they were won when the league was smaller" diss?
I'm ignorant to the mediation process.
What happens if one side turns down the mediator's decision?

They weren't close enough before.
Pretty sure the mediator doesn't make "decisions", rather, "suggestions" as an impartial 3rd party. It's non binding. The two sides still have to agree, but now they have someone in the room with no stake in the matter telling them how it should be.
Basically the mediators are there to guide the conversation and offer their take on what's fair and what isn't and suggest ways they should be able to get a deal done.
Either side can still up and tell everyone to fuck right off, though.
AFAIK, a mediator doesn't "make" a decision (unlike a judge/jury), he just helps to promote dialogue between the two parties to come to a mutual agreement and gives non-partisan feedback on what's up.
E.g. He tells both parties to stop being dicks, both parties realize they're dicks, everyone's happy and a CBA is signed.
Won't happen though.
EDIT: Brutally beaten with pretty much the same post by CC.
Agreed, but I don't think either side would agree to an arbitrator.

All non-binding. Pretty sure the mediator doesn't even give a "decision." All the mediation stuff I remember from school made it more about providing a third party perspective and helping to organize a deal so that the two sides didn't have to stand a scream at eachother. You'd be surprised how useful a detached third party can be. Mediators can say things like "Well wouldn't X make sense?" or "Wouldn't Y be a fairly even compromise?" but neither side has to agree with that. Federal mediators also won't come out to the media and say "I think side X are a bunch of douchebags" publicly.
BEATEN....
One of the mediators is supposedly on twitter...
Uhhhhhhhhhh

They were past the point of no return then anyway. How the fuck would they have started a season near the beginning of March?

Should have known this, and probably did once.
Thanks.
Yeah, I was totally thinking of "abritrator" instead of "mediator"
The USB should act like a hard drive. Should be able to use it for games, etc. Any USB should work I think. Just stick it in and format it.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This would be amazing.

Well a 3rd party can give both sides a reality check.
At least they're still talking instead of decertification and letting the courts decide.
