And once again, the qb doesn't exactly always know that a player jumped, just like a cornerback doesn't know that a defensive lineman jumped and nearly kills himself picking off the ball and running like a psycho and none of it counts. I don't know what football you guys are watching, but until that whistle blows, they are going to keep playing. The offense could very well think the defensive line jumped first. And offensive linemen jumping usually puts them out of position to make the proper block so it would usually end up in a walking through the line for a lineman. I think that there is something wrong with it being 4th and inches, a lineman flinches before the snap, but the play still goes on, the offense is stopped but then the defense gets penalized because the offense gets another shot at it. Basically what I am saying is that false start should be loss of down or the yards basically. If the offense is aware enough to catch when they jumped and just lay down, then more power to them.

I am still waiting on the eventual Jarvis injury. Even if he isn't injured on the court, some Wizards fan is going to run him down with their car for finally being healthy for another team. I expect the same to happen to Grant Hill.
-
Exactly. A choice of loss of down should be there for the offense. Especially considering the "Defense just jumped, lets go deep and worse thing that can happen is the play is null" happens every game. I don't think a reciever flinching and the play getting ran anyway and results in a incomplete pass or a running back stuffed in the backfield should reward the offense an extra down.

Bart Scotts thing was stupid, but it really didn't cost the team anything. Going for a Hail Mary with like 15 seconds left instead of working the sideline and getting closer up field when it was completely open was stupid. they had time for two gimmies and get out to set up a field goal(although they were against the wind...would have been tough anyway). Ravens lost this game for themselves. Although one rule change I would like to see. i would like to see the refs let teams play out false start penalties and allow the defense decide if they want the penalty or not, like on defensive offsides penalties. I find it annoying when the defense gets the stop behind the line of scrimmage and then essentially get penalized for the offense jumping, negating the down completely and netting the D an extra 2 yards. And yeah, that was defensive holding. I don't get why anyone would complain about that. If you want to complain, complain about that BLATANT right in front of the refs block in the back on that screen pass a few minutes earlier that got them the field position. And that still didn't lose the game. it came down to which coach would make the right decisions and we know who won that war of the minds.

I think they almost painted themselves into a corner anyway because of so many times he just ignores powers he has so that a scene could work. He could read adams mind and know the truth, but nope...didn't do it. He could fly but was RUNNING when trying to escape the companies cells. He can be invisible and make others invisible and walk through walls, but he decided to walk in full view through Primatech so that Hiro could see them, and had to rip the huge metal door off instead of just walking through it. But hey. Just sit back and enjoy. I do wonder if that symbol appearing in the virus dust in Peters hand will be important later. Like...did he actually release the virus?

I don't see them cheering on the Pats especially when they keep repeating "Tonight could be the night!" Sorry I meant rooting AGAINST the Pats.

The announcers actively routing for the pats is annoying

I think you can expect teams to blitz the shit out of them for the rest of the year. So often this year, they have been keeping defenders in the flats and giving alot of space on the edges to try and stop the deep pass and the dump offs. Philly was like "Fuck that" last week and went at them. I expect all the remaining teams to do the same. I am not sure that they won't win out, not so sure they won't win out with huge wins, but I don't think it won' t be pretty as it was earlier in this season.

On the pillow, though? I mean, I can see someone in an act of panic/stupidity just tossing the knife aside to make a fast getaway, but to have it end up on the pillow...coincidentally? And the safe...well, I can understand them wanting in the safe, but I'm guessing that wasn't the only thing he had there. TV? Car keys? He must have had a ton of valuable stuff that was either in use or too big for the safe and they didn't touch any of it. It doesn't make any sense to me why robbers would go straight to the bedroom without disturbing anything else in the house. It doesn't make any sense to me why they would have cut the phone line both times if they thought the house was empty and only wanted to take things. The phone lines weren't cut. That was a false report. You guys still clinging to this being a hit, huh?
-
How the fuck did that ref now call a force out at the end though. That was a hell of a catch by Winslow, he was clearly forced out and the ref calls nothing.
-
The knife was used to pry shit open on the first robbery including doors and lock drawers. I don't think it was so much a threat as they were just done with it. Plus, it was said his safe was in the bedroom, so that would be a reason to get in there. And honestly, who murders people by shooting at their groin? Once he went down they would have shot him a few more times to make sure.

I haven't burnt out a motherboard or anything, but I do think it is bullshit that you need to upgrade a computer for each game coming out because they don't even try to optimise them anymore. I know you can play them on lower setttings, but it is bullshit that they preview and review games at once setting, then you get it and you have to play it on medium to get it to move at a acceptable frame rate. So they make high settings that are pretty much can't be run on any existing gaming rig and use those to show screenshots and previews at that setting. Its a bullshit ripoff and the entire industry needs to get called out for it.

Why does it matter whether his killers were linked to his past? It doesn't change anything. All people did was surmise that another thug once again couldn't outrun his past, as is often the case. It's like people are happy that it was just some guy that killed him, as if this vindicates anybody, as if you can go "well, that makes it better" or "yay, I was right, whee, haha, fuck y'all!" It was no indictment on his character to make conjectures based on his past, because everyone has acknowledged that he was changing his life. Nobody ever said that he was guilty of anything. Yeah...thats "all" people did. You had Wilbon that said he grew up surrounded by violence(which he didn't), embraced it(which he didn't) and suggested that he was a thug(which he wasn't). So did alot of the other press. They took a story about a guy that got murdered and attacked him with assumed things that weren't even slightly true. The story had a negative slant on it , which once again wasn't true. i don't see how you can see no problem with this. That is fucking bullshit to say that it was no indictment on his character to make conjectures based on his past. It was brought up so it could be put in a neat little story about how a street thug got gunned down in his home. there is article after article that clearly illustrate what was happening here. The story presented simply wasn't true, so yes, the writers can go and fuck themselves. Once again, not one writer has been able to show how he was a thug or had a troubled past. They are just saying it and rolling with it and that is supposed to be okay. Its not. Its irresponsible journalism, and for all the editorials, where they can say whatever the fuck it is they want, then yeah, they can make all the assumptions they want, but they can also go fuck themselves because all their assumptions were wrong and they were a bunch of classless uninformed cunts about the whole thing.
-
That response really doesn't even make any sense. i don't know what you were going for there. He didn't say they should apologize, he said they could go fuck themselves. Writers kept saying "Its obvious that this has to do with his past and its a shame that he put himself in that position." Well, now it is obvious that it was a bunch of dumb assholes trying to rob him and killed a innocent guy in his home with his baby and girlfriend in the room. They can indeed go fuck themselves.

Quadriplegic man dies while jailed for pot possession

You don't set them free because they are disabled either. What was his punish going to be? Confined to a hospital? WHOOOOOOOO. And I am not pro ass-rape, I am realistic in saying that it can't be so easily remedied. I am also anti CO's getting shanked in the neck because they run in, unprotected trying to prevent an ass rape. -
Not to derail the thread, but they have three guys in custody. Apparently they might have learned about Taylors home from someone who knows him bragging about how much money he(Taylor) had. It is also being assumed that since he was supposed to be out of town with the team, they probably thought the house was empty. Now...back to Tea. All my tea come from the tins in my kitchen that I got from Teavana and I use the Gold Tea Ball ...fuck them Tea Bags. Plus. I like saying Gold Tea Ball.

To be fair, the 300 comic was a fairly generic action comic. They added the whole queen subplot just to give the story some more meat besides people hacking each other apart for the entire movie.
-
I think the funny thing is that people saying he wasn't a thug are considered "apologist". Vick needs an apologist. He actually did something. People are basically making up stuff they want with Taylor.
-
But that also doesn't mean he did anything in his past at all. If you win the lottery tommorrow and some former coworker kills you later out of jealousy, that doesn't exactly make you have a checkered past that is coming back to haunt you.

PC gaming can kiss my balls. They just blatantly say "fuck you, buy more shit to make my game work" instead of working with anytype of guidlines. Yes I know you can play the games on "low" or "medium" settings, but fuck that. Institute some limitations and stop trying to have the prettiest screen shots while fucking over the consumer.

I assumed adam since he was missing from the picture of the 12. Wait...nevermind. He was locked up.

Quadriplegic man dies while jailed for pot possession

Charged or not, they got pulled over and he had a gun, cocaine and pot on him. While I know he officially got charged with the pot, come on. He had to be hard pressed to say that he was just a pot smoker, when he had coke on him. Once again, its a shame the kid died and all, but if you get pulled over and there is a gun, cocaine and weed in the car and you get 10 days...you should be pretty happy about that.
