That Nike commercial still looks awesome. Yup, the Cowboys are going to use the run to set up the pass, it seems.

I really think the Cowboys are going to run more than pass tonight, especially with one of their WRs out.

Sorry Flyboy, but I got Dunn in the WDI league so W00T~!

Deuce fumbled, got it back, 3rd and goal for NO on the 8 w/:09 left. EDIT: Saints kick the FG, we're off to OT at 20-20

Wow, Deuce almost blew the game for the Saints.

Wow, the Bills lost to HOUSTON, and only managed two FGs and two safeties? Yikes. That week 1 loss gets more and more embarassing by the week.

Well, Miami keeps pace with NE. If they lost and NE wins, that's 3 games back and see you later, I'd bet.

IT'S A FUM-BLE!!! Miami recovers in Baltimore territory.

77yds to Warrick, TD Bengals. 24-12

17-12 Cincy, KC went for 2 and missed.

And there is Griese's weekly fuckup.

I'm going to agree and disagree with some of the choices here. Agree FF8 - The story was just incredibly dull, with characters that really weren't developed that well (if at all), the setting just didn't grab me, and the gameplay was just atrocious (Junctioning and drawing spell after spell was NOT the way to go). I finished it once, and the ending just left me scratching my head a bit. Squall is also the most loathsome "hero" in FF history. Chrono Cross - I think I passed up Xenogears for this one. It just seemed so disjointed, leaving you to ask "Ok, now where do I go to advance the plot?" And the second half seems to throw you into a completely different story. I liked the battle system though, believe it or not. Just not a game to slap the "Chrono" name on to. NHL 2000 (PS1): Just the most unbalanced sports game I have ever played. I put the difficulty on Rookie, and won 22-1, take it up a notch, and I lose 14-3. Along with 2001 (although not as blatant), it was just WAY too easy to score goals. MGS2: The plant section was not much more than a rehash of the original MGS, and they pretty much tell you that at the end. I don't know what the fuck Kojima was smoking with all that crap in the end. (Sort of) FF IX: Yeah, the story pretty much unravelled at the end, but really, you had to feel for poor Vivi. They really nailed that character. The character development as a whole was ages better than 8, and the story (up until you got to the 4th disc) wasn't bad. Disagree FFX: No way this should be in the disappointing category. The story is top notch, every character has their own little reasons for why they are joined with Yuna (and you actually care about them). Ok, the linear style is a bit of a turnoff, and the Sphere Grid maybe wasn't perfect, but the storytelling and voice acting (even if Yuna sounded like she was line reading at some points) is some of the best in the series. GTA: VC - People complain that this is just "GTA III in another setting", but I think that was Rockstar's idea all along, keeping the core gameplay of III and just shifting it to a different setting with some gameplay tweaks. The 80s soundtrack AUTOMATICALLY puts this one above disappointing. My Own Choices 1) Triple Play Baseball (PS2): Just a complete barebones baseball game, which is shocking after all the stuff they had in the PS1 versions. Hell, the lack of a Big League Challenge where you hit targets at a construction site and in a giant living room ("Aw don't hit the dog, I like dogs.") was boss. I also believe there was no Buck Martinez in the booth, so that hurt it a lot (Buck was awesome in the PS1 versions). 2) All Star Baseball 2003 (PS2): The hitting just sucked; if you turned on the cursor, it was too damn slow to be any good, and if you put Easy Batting on, you scored 15 runs/game with no problem. The Expansion mode was pretty cool though. 3) High Heat Baseball 2004 (PS2): The only thing disappointing was the whole presentation. The announcers were dull, the crowd effects were awful, and there just wasn't much hoopla when something big happens (i.e. Winning the Series, hell, even hitting a homer didn't rouse the crowd much) I'll probably think of more later.

.....Can I put a clause in my contract that if I record 30+ saves I can change the team name?

First off, I'd like to apologize for my slacktivity, I've just been a bit busy, and Parka just seemed to have everything nailed down, giving me not much to do. Besides, I've been writing enough for my classes and whatnot the past few months. Surprisingly, my workload is lightening, so I'm a comin' back. Anyway, if you read Parka's post a few weeks back, he's cutting back on the fed for a while, so at the PPV, the Dream Machines will lose the tag titles (I'm writing the match, if Ragdoll wants to talk to me about it) and Parka will suffer a "legit" knee injury, leaving me to go back to HD and fly solo for a while. I know a lot has happened and people seem to be wrapped up in stuff, but if anyone wants to plan something out, shoot me a PM.

They do, but you need an ID (or a parent present) to buy them.

Haven't heard of the SI Cover Jinx, have you? It seems whenever SI features a player or team that is doing very well during the season, they falter the very weekend after the issue comes out (especially in football) This also applies to the offseason. Nomar Garciaparra was on the cover one week and had a story that talked about his training regimen and such, and the very next week, he wakes up to a wrist that needs surgery and knocks him out for the majority of the season.

If I done screwed up, let me know.

Offensive ROY: Dominick Davis (HOU) Defensive ROY: Eugene Wilson (NWE) (3 INTs leads all rookies) MVP: Steve McNair (TEN) Offensive POY: PRIEST~! (Has more TDs than JAMAL~!) Defensive POY: Ray Lewis (BAL) Coach of the Year: I really can't decide between Parcells and Belichick. I'll hold my vote off until after the Sunday night game. Special Teams POY: Dante Hall (KC) Top 5 teams in NFL: 1. Chiefs 2. Patriots 3. Titans 4. Colts 5. Panthers (why not? Beat the Bucs twice.)

They have ran the ball 31 times, thrown 7 times (Mirer is 6-7), and are up 21-10. What.....the.......hell?

I'd say pencil in the Chiefs and Panthers (and the Pats if Miami and Buffalo can't get it together) for the playoffs. I gotta reinterate: Oakland is tied 7-7 and has the ball on the Jets 1 after the 1st, AND HAVEN'T THROWN ONE DAMN PASS YET!! Don't think I've ever seen that. EDIT: 14-7 now, after Crockett runs it in.

Looks like Oakland is unveiling their new "passing is ghey" offense against the Jets. And it's actually working. Hey, Drew fumbles, whatta shocker.

CBS just showed the NFC South standings: Carolina 7-2 Tampa Bay 4-5 New Orleans 4-5 Atlanta 2-7 Man, I thought this division was going to be pretty good, too.

TB had two time outs, why not use them? I shall never pick the Giants in my pool again.

Oh man, two Bucs penalties backs them to their own 11.
