Damn, I saw that e-mail address too, and Ghettoman never even crossed my mind. I suck at the internet. I need Professor Ill.

You want criticism? - Don't brag about how many sites your column is on, and don't bash other sites. It doesn't come off well. - Six paragraphs before you get to the main point of the article? WAYYYY too much. Just write an intro and then get to the point. - The "Match of the Column" thing is pointless if you don't actually say WHY you picked it. That and the "Quote of the Column" should go at the beginning intro section of the piece since it isn't important to the main point. - Above all, if you've had 250 people call you a bad writer, then you might have some problems. People may be offering constructive criticism (like I did), but if you won't listen to it, why should people bother to give it? And if you just came here to post your column and ask for a gig, that's not how we do things here. PM or E-mail a sample to Dr. Tom.

It's the Looney Tunes chicken hawk. People who are for war are called hawks? But he thinks Mike is a chicken? Get it now? Just view it as a really bad attempt at a burn. I'm talking near Zackakalakalakak33123123313213 insulting APO levels here. I swear, that thread should be required reading for all new members. Truly a classic, and no one can deny it.

I'm still not sure about the custom music, but you will see the full motion replays. Something cool I forgot to mention: One of my tackles got a concussion in a game, and it was awesome how he tries to get up and the trainers telling him to sit down and relax, then see him stumble around as he walks off the field. Also, during a "catch in/out of bounds" challenge, you see the player showing his teammates on the bench how he kept his feet in bounds. They really did their homework with these animations.

Here's an answer: Translation: AoO thought you were being a twit in that thread, and suspended you. If you want to know exactly why, I suggest you PM him yourself and ask why. We give valid reasons why we do things, you know. Besides, you got suspended for AN HOUR. 60 minutes. One The Price is Right. I'd just forget about it and move on.

Pristine Bottomed Philanthropist? Wow, spelled that last word right without even looking it up.

.....the Cardinals? What, did you make some deal with the virtual devil for Fitzgerald's eternal soul or something? I think I've found some good sliders: just combine the human All-Pro sliders with the CPU Legend ones (dial it down a little if it's too hard). The CPU gives you a good game most of the time.

How about asking HIM about it, since it was HIS decision to do it?

There seemed to be a little march on the FleetCenter today, but it was only a few hundred people by the sounds of things, and the police were eyeing them like hawks the whole way. Some yelling, burned flags, no baton whomping, though. Kind of funny to see the Boston stations reporting this in a "hey, someone finally DID something" kind of way. Actually, I read in the paper today that the police haven't really had to do much this week, and that the protestors are suprised by how courteous they are.

I had already spoken to one or two on AIM and it was ignored and brushed off at first. I'm not going to PM all 258 of you. One or two at the most should be enough. Well, that's YOUR problem. If you care so much about this, tell as many mods as possible (giving proof that it is a PBP). If one ignores you, try another. And I noticed you said "brushed off at first". Guess that means the problem was eventually taken care of, eh? Geez, we all have better things to do than comb the place for PBP 24/7. If someone gets back in, he'll be eventually found out. I mean, really, what's the fucking problem with just a simple PM that says "Hey, I think (insert member here) is (insert PBP here) because (insert proof)." Takes 5 minutes out of your busy day.

Looks like Roosevelt Colvin isn't quite ready to come back from his hip injury; the Pats put him on the physically unable to perform list, and I don't think he'll play much in the preseason.

I think I've finally figured out why I suck at running: I'm not using the right stick to juke and stutter step. I did a scrimmage to try and improve my running game, and that seems to make a HUGE difference in getting through the line and into the backfield. I guess I was just too dumb to notice it. I've had calls stand Mike, so it must be you. The refs in your game must just be bad.

Four Superbowl rings (or is it three? How many did he win with Parcells?), two as a head coach after said "disaster" occured, kind of makes it easy to forget.

So I got to the offseason last night after losing the Superbowl to Green Bay. - Yes, there is player progression based on age, season performance, etc. - You can actually try to convince retiring players to stay by offering him a huge short-term contract. - Some of my players are fucking money grubbers. Joe Andruzzi wanted something like 4 yrs, 25M, and he would not budge on it, even though I didn't have much cap room to give him that big a contract. I like how if you give the player a deal he doesn't like too many times, his demands rise. He'll even break the negotiations if it's too low. - You can trade draft picks for NEXT year as well as the current year. I didn't know that when, to free up some more cap room, I traded Ty Law and my 1st round pick to the Lions for a 1st, 3rd, and 4th, since I probably would have asked for a 1st or 2nd NEXT year as well. - You have 45 days to sign free agents, and you can see the three best offers for a player and try to top them. Guys can take forever to decide, though. Andruzzi wound up in St. Louis for about what he asked of me. - The scouting combine is pretty cool. You have 4 days, and 7 hours a day to look at possible draftees. You can spend one hour to get a basic look (which ranks his abilities from Excellent to Poor), two to get a more in-depth report, and three to get a full look (which includes projected number ratings, but not an overall one). You can look at a Big Board which ranks the top prospects and wether their stock has risen or fallen as the days go by. - Before the draft, you can watch a special SC where Mel Keiper Jr. pretty much runs down who he'll think will go in the top 10, sleepers, etc. - The draft is simple. You'll have all your information from the combine with you, and even a PDA that gives you suggestions. Then after the draft, Mel is back with a wrap-up, where he gives opinions on the picks and looks over your draft (although he said I was going for offense when the only offensive players I picked were a guard and a FB). - There's no "Training Camp" or anything, like in Madden, you go right to the preseason (or the season, if you turned off preseason games).

I put in 2 for ANT, one for Todd.

Todd's was good, but I'm also going with Ant. I think it will be close between the two of them.

Since people are already talking about it here, why not just change the thread title?

Unless Todd does a set just as good, Ant's got my vote.

Really, why was Bonnie put in the house in the first place? Ok, she's the "bitchy" character of the house, but it lasted all of one episode, and she's JUST NOT FUNNY. None of the WC comics are impressing me right now.

Ah, that's better. I always seem to finish the season strong. Am I just not getting any run support here?

You can edit players. Just go to Features, Roster Manager, and View Rosters. Just press X (on PS2) and you get a little menu that lets you choose to edit the selected player.

Triple HHH? That's HHHHHHHHH. Who is that, Hunter Horatio Hercule Herman Hank Hearst Henderson Hershey Helmsley?

Pretend to be a 17 year old girl and cyber. Geez, do I have to figure out everything for you?

I agree with the above poster. Edit: Thanks for ruining the joke, INXS.

I'd definitely put Black & White in that category. Yeah, the premise sounds great (you are god and can be merciful or vengeful, and you have a creature you can train to be the same), but that damn creature is too much a hassle to take care of, and the gameplay is horrible. I'll add FF8 into the discussion. Worst....story....ever.
