Somehow Peyton Manning is doing even more commercials now

Who would get to use the Figure 4Chan leglock as a finisher though?

Too Soon?

Stephen Douglas hits Abraham Lincoln with a hickory-wood chair after Lincoln agrees to the series of debates. Because contract signings always end in violence. [Optional: Douglas then uses the hickory wood chair to climb up and grab the leather knapsack with the Presidential Seal inside.]

Oh, yeah, maybe I'll get back into this this year. week 1, didn't pay attention to preseason, so lets go with traditional powers, home teams, and 2 shots of homerism [that will hurt my score as it always does ] Thursday. September 8 Carolina at Denver Sunday, September 11 Tampa Bay at Atlanta Buffalo at Baltimore Chicago at Houston Green Bay at Jacksonville San Diego at Kansas City Oakland at New Orleans Cincinnati at NY Jets Cleveland at Philadelphia Minnesota at Tennessee Miami at Seattle NY Giants at Dallas Detroit at Indianapolis New England at Arizona Monday, September 12 Pittsburgh at Washington LA Rams at San Francisco Tiebreaker #1: 38-10 Pittsburgh and 13-10 49ers is, what, 71? We'll go with that. Tiebreaker #2: 120 (will be the whole offense until they fall too far behind to rush, will break 1 or 2 really long ones) Tiebreaker #3: Eli and Romo? Set the over/under at 8.5. I will take the under and go with 8

I mean you'd think at least at some point the owners would be motivated enough to protect their own investment in their own roster and get rid of preseason games just so fewer guys due to get millions would get their knees eaten by the furies. Does it actually have to literally be Tom Brady's knees (career-ending at this point you'd think) before Robert Kraft will finally tell the other influential owners and/or his houseboy Goodell to Make It So? [lol of course not, there my rube-ass goes making that dumb mark mistake of thinking winning on the field matters to them. Their wins come when the checks from FOX and Coors Lite and Draft Kings clear. Duh.]

Yeah this wasn't in-game but still two more weeks of games and practices so as to give more opportunities for this to happen.

So, about that 18 game schedule...

Absolutely. Though it is also a legitimate chicken/egg debate over how much of it is ultimately on him and how much of it comes from the team becoming garbage. I'm sure that, as with most things, the true answer is somewhere in between. I even found an old post of mine from last season where I said it's too soon to call Gabbert a true retread because so far the only organization fool enough to attempt to recycle him is this one. Yep. My stance continues to be that, in the Yorks minds, they have won. They got the new stadium built. It is in the Super Bowl Venue Rotation. Mission Accomplished. A good on-field product (i.e. a contending team) is no longer necessary and thus a sub-optimal investment. Why put in all that work and deal with all that stressful scrutiny that comes with a team that's good but not quite good enough (SB 47)? Keeping good players together and hiring good coaches would just eat into the bottom line, and Seattle's still gonna be better than them for 5 more years at minimum anyway. So fuck it. Parity will keep the team pulling off enough occasional 7-9 seasons through the coming decades to sell enough hope to bait enough marks into signing season ticket contracts, and even without them there's the share of the league TV revenue so who cares? Just sit and grin, the money will roll right in.

No wonder the Yankees have dictated terms to their players w.r.t. hair and grooming all these years...

15 Yard Penalty Calls absolutely need to be subject to replay review/challenge. Pass Interference too (like they do in the CFL, as I learned last year). And the number of allowed challenges needs to be doubled (at minimum) to reflect the fact that teams are going to need to make a lot more challenges to overturn dumb would-be-game-altering penalty calls. If we're going to keep up the pretense that the NFL is a sporting competition and not a work, I mean.

I knew they were going to have rugby sevens this time. I did not know they were going to have women's rugby sevens. Slightly less raw footspeed than men's sevens but that just seems to increase the chance of dramatic touchdown try saving tackles on what look like the standard sevens breakaway. Women's Rugby is definitely going to to be this year's sport I get upset about not seeing while they shove beach volleyball and gymnastics down my throat.

Along these lines, whoever keeps robbing Herbert Moon is morally justified (especially if you have Undead Nightmare) and I let it happen now.

The trick, I've found, is to run past the checkpoint to start the race, hop under that bridge at the edge of the ranch, open up the lockbox to gain 10-12 bucks, use that at the general store to max out on apples (5, $1 each), and just abuse/exploit those during the race. Also you "pass" that mission even if you lose the race iirc (you just miss out on the cash/fame reward), so if all else fails you can always dog it to keep yourself alive.

It's okay, I got a puncher's chance of winning it back in Horseshoes, what with my two (2!) career ringers as of two weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the horse is hard-coded to try and rear and lurch and aim for the cliff instead of the bridge because it happened to me repeately (eventually I corrected for it in time)

It's an all-timer. Picked it back up myself a couple weeks ago and immediately remembered how fun the vibe and the gameplay both are. [And the paranoia induced by cougars taking away many a hard earned horse] Looking forward to tales of the DVDVR Posse Riding Again (since I still only have the 360 and not the XBOX One I imagine i'm shut out of the new online multiplayer fun)

You can also tell its fake because it mentions "finishing a chapter"

If you aren't down with Team Stark Arya has two words for you: [Valar Morghulis]

Surely Beric Dondarrion is Terry Funk because he's been killed retired 6 times and keeps coming back anyway

Nah Jon just got crowned Sting in the North. I am reserving the Stone Cold role for Arya

The "Brotherhood" Without Banners sold her friend (and their new brother) Gendry to Melisandre on "Red God Business", so Beric and Thoros (along with Mel) are on Arya's shitlist.

"What's your name, little girl?" "Obara San--" "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!" But yeah, Night's King/Undertaker broke that seal so go run wild with it. Speaking of running wild, Dany is Hogan and/or Cena, clearly.

I would be remiss at this point if I neglected to remind everyone of the lowest hanging fruit in this conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2RK-ftlwM

THE STING IN THE NORTH THE STING IN THE NORTH THE STING IN THE NORTH (unfortunately this means when Littlefinger tries to doublecross him he won't see it coming and walk right into it. Despite Sansa probably warning him DO NOT TRUST THAT MAN about a dozen times).

On the upside, it also suggests Arya would fit right in as one of the Northern Lords someday, if she chose to. Conveniently enough, several holdings [Dreadfort, Karhold, Last Hearth] just became vacated and are going to eventually need to be staffed with Stark Loyalists once this whole Frozen Army Of The Undead thing gets sorted out.
