  1. BTW, tried to post this earlier, but it didn't work.

    I'm a complete homer for the Pats, and even I think Gumbel is in the tank for the Pats.

    "Pass thrown.. Complete." (said in a monotone)
    "fighting for the first down.." (almost dead in voice)
    BALL IS STRIPPED! (goes from monotone to OMG EXCITEMENT  in 0.01 seconds)
    "THE PATRIOTS HAVE IT!" (closest thing we'll have to an on-air orgasm this season)

  2. Right now, he's pulling the biggest Emperor Palpatine "Good, good.. let the anger flow through you".. of the decade.

     

    "Think it was deflated balls? Fine. We'll do without Brady, AND Gronk, and Ninkovich, and we'll still beat you guys. Because I'm Bill F'n Belichick, and you're not"

     

    (probably dooming myself saying that but...)

  3. I'll be honest. I didn't expect the Pats to be doing this well. but the Cardinals are playing right into their hands. Unless you have Denver-like D-line that can get pressure without sending too many, you have to beat the Patriots by confusing them with zones (keeping the receiver and the ball in front of you), not blitzing and hoping that your guys can make plays in man coverage)

    edit: And I'm sure that some folks will be pointing to how good Jimmy G is doing and saying "See? This proves it's the system, not Brady". It's both

    So yea - I have a morbid curiosity how the hell you racked up $500 in Gamestop trade credit.  I don't think I've gotten that much total from every game I've ever traded into there combined.

    Vita, some games, 3DS (old aqua blue), some games, and the remainder of my 360 games.

     

    This is on top of $280 or so last year.

  5. I actually grabbed the PS4 yesterday, the Slim didn't really grab me, so I just went ahead and got the COD bundle ($349) with my $500 trade credit (the folks at Gamestop hate me. A LOT. This is the second time I've done this to them).

     

    Also got Madden, UFC 2, Nobunaga's Ambition, MLB The Show 16, Tales of Zestiria, and J-Stars Vs (I'm a sucker for anime-soccer games :P)

     

  6. Dayumn! Talk about a barnburner in the West Indies-India game in Florida.

     

    It came down to the final ball with the West Indies winning by ONE RUN. Plenty of big scoring, too, 489 runs scored total, which I believe is a record in T20 games.

    Holy shit, seek out the end of the wrestling 65kg bronze medal match. Coaches running in during the match then Mongolian guy was winning, he gloated and had a point deducted for refusing to engage, handing bronze to Uzbekistan, Mongolian coaches took it super badly stripped off in protest. All it was missing was Teddy Long coming out to restart the match.

    Mongolian heel turn.

    4 star match.

    2 hours 30 minutes in.

  8. This is a combination of all three (sunuva, stuff and Really swell news) Since the most recent is Really Swell, I think it goes here..

     

    The last 18 months have not been good to me. First, I had a major depression attack that ended up with me in the hospital (I made the decision to go, not because of something that happened, but what I feared MIGHT happen).. this ended up with me spending a few days in the hospital a few days, and "the ward" for a week after. Then I finally get a diagnosis for the shit that's put me out of work for almost two years now, Crohn's disease, sacrolilitis and Rhumatoid Arthritis.

     

    And then the topper, after an 18 year battle with cancer, my mother passed away in December. Right before Xmas. (She fell ill right after thanksgiving).

     

    So, it's been a slow fucking slog getting off the mat, but things are looking up a bit.

     

    I am about to sell my first work (a RPG supplement, for, no shit, a RPG called: Fight! The Fighting Game RPG). We're about to start a new drug that will hopefully help with the crohn's disease and all the knock on effects. And this week saw me turn 42. It wasn't all beer and roses, as I was determined to just let my birthday be "just another day".. but thanks to a couple cousins putting shit together on less then 10 days notice, had a huge birthday party for me, and the number of friends and family there was great.

    So, in short. Foz trending upward. ;)

     

    Now if I can just get back to writing that novel.. ;)

    Fidel Sierra?

    Bizarre finish in the freestyle wrestling, as USA's J'den Cox leads 1-0 late in the match, but he is "on the shot clock", due to passivity, meaning he has 30 seconds to score a point or his opponent gets a point (and would win tie match on last point scored). He goes for it, and there's an almighty scramble, but the ref says no score.

    The coach challenges the ruling, because, well, it was really close, and even if it was denied (giving Cuba an extra point), Cuba would win anyway. After a LONG period of appeal, the judges decide that Cox DID get the takedown and scored two points. So it goes from 1-1 (Cuba wins on criteria) to 3-0 Cox

    The cuban wrestler was so upset with this, he decided not to continue the match (there was only six seconds left), and the referee/judges have no choice but to award Cox the match by DQ.

  10. You know, I'm suddenly very glad I didn't turn in my copy of London 2012 for Xbox 360. Not that I could be Michael Phelps, but it's the closest thing possible, at least in video game format (eff Mario and Sonic)

    Rugby 7s really should be on our TV every week. Same with handball. But handball has had the Olympic cult following for years. 7s is a true revelation of a sport.

    I prefer The 15's (standard Rugby Union), myself, but sevens is cool. And why there isn't a professional handball league (edit: In America) is beyond me.
