How the hell did I not know he played for my alma mater?

Nah, they essentially get a re-do on drafting Richardson since they raped the Colts. That is a positive for sure. That was a great trade for Cleveland.

When you're talking about Herm Edwards, you gotta ADD Ls, not take them away. You pllay to wlin the glames? Welllllll-pllllayed, sir. Herm Edwards: Four 10-loss seasons in a nine-year coaching career, held up as a "coaching expert" by ESPN. I guess being a GREAT MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER makes you an expert, even if you can't turn your own principles into actual success.

Yeah, in pretty OK with that news. Also just heard there's going to be another Sniper Elite game. That's GREAT news for me.

I can still see that "Well, shit, alright!" look on Vic's face. Yeah, he...uh..."nailed" the "facial" in that scene. *snicker*

I wouldn't worry about them taking back the CPAP. If they do, the inpatient sleep study will just confirm again that you need one and you'll get another one. That said, I absolutely loathe insurance companies. I'm currently fighting with mine - for the 5,000,000th time. This time it's related to a lab test my wife had done to try and pinpoint the source of stomach pain she's been having. The insurance company for some reason interprets an enzyme test as genetic testing, which is not covered under our plan. The test isn't a genetic test and I've been fighting with people for the last 3-1/2 weeks to get the claim re-processed and paid for. No love so far and now the lab that did the work is screaming at me for payment.

Those get a big "meh" from me. I've already gotten Bioshock and Borderlands 2 for free from PS+. The other games were already $29.99 but easily found for a lot less. Just doesn't seem like a particularly great deal.

The Falcons one killed me. The rest were hit-and-miss.

Finished season 5 of The Shield. Definite drop from the quality of season 4 though still very good thanks to the on-the-edge tension brought on by the IAD investigation. Problem is, I never bought the way that all went down with the whole "well, we got Lem, so we'll just drop it" aspect. Didn't make much sense. Having Claudette suddenly showing signs of her illness reeked of "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH HER!!!!" desperation. Ditto bringing in the hottie new cop. Forest Whittaker as the IAD investigator was a fine "big name" addition to the cast but nowhere near Glenn Close. I did get a kick out of Vic banging Forest's ex-wife. That was such a deliciously messed-up thing to do. And then he bangs the hottie lawyer. Nice work, Vic As for what Craig asked me:

Totally agree on that. Took me awhile to wrap my head around it and ended up just being a mess. Hated it.

Yes! Renovating the mansion was awesome! It didn't really fit the game but it was hella fun.

Yeah, I think the second Ezio game was the peak of the series so far. Is there any reason they've gone away from the big dungeons they had in the Ezio games? I think the game is at its best when it is basically Tomb Raider with a mass murderer. For me, the first Ezio game is the peak of the series (best game of all-time, IMHO). Incredible tomb raiding, a great storyline, and just all kinds of awesomeness. They seem to want to make the game "bigger", which is OK to some degree (I generally like the naval stuff, for example) but they keep stuff in that just sucks (anything modern day). Just give me a historical assassin, wrap him in a good story, put him in a good location, and let 'er rip. Don't make follow some dudes for 10 minutes at a pace that's 1/3rd of my normal walking rate so I have to stop constantly even though they're still moving. And so on.

A look at the upcoming UFC title on PS4

This week's update: Free - Payday 2 (PS3) - Uh, yeah, I'll be getting this one. Discounts - TxK (Vita) - the Tempest clone/update is discounted. A couple other discounts as well.

I agree to a large degree. I think stealth is really important in the games but *NOT* the "follow person XXX to location YYY" stuff. Stealth in the form "stay hidden while killing bad guys" is good. The 15-minute follow a person missions suck. No two ways about it. I also really wish they'd dispense with the whole future/Abstergo/Animus nonsense. Or just use it as a 5-minute intro to the game to give you an explanation for memory synchronizations and so on. Including Desmond missions in the Ezio trilogy? Stupid. Not one person has ever said "MAN, I WISH THEY HAD MORE ANIMUS MISSIONS!!!!" or "I bought the new AC game so I could play as Desmond!" You'd think somebody, somewhere at Ubisoft would recognize that.

I won't deny that I did similar back when I was in college but... It IS over the line. Guys shouldn't have to put up with f-bombs, being flipped off or whatever while trying to play.

0.6% of the time is pretty rare. The FBI says it's more like 8-15%.

Everybody knows that's actually Road House.

It's true that women generally don't make such things up. However, it's also nowhere near as rare as women's advocates would like you to believe. That said, there is basically no chance that this many women are all lying.

Still one of my favorite quotes in television. Mitchell was such a despicable character. Tremendous writing and acting. That's #1 with a bullet. #2 is "Your wife's pussy tasted like sweet butter." #3 is "Money and pussy make men do evil shit." So Tabe. How did you like Vic's somewhat redemptive turn at the beginning of the season, asking for another chance? It was good and at least semi-believable. It helps that Glenn Close was so awesome. Her presence elevated the whole show.

Quite frankly, so was I.

I'm up to the season four finale and you guys are right. The stuff with Mitchell is aces. All kinds of good stuff going on. This is a completely different show than the early seasons, thank God.

What the hell is Mo Vaughn doing these days?

ARod Drops MLB Lawsuits I am terribly disappointed with this news (seriously). ARod has caved into MLB and Selig and dropped his lawsuits against MLB, Selig, and the MLBPA. This disappoints me as I was looking forward to ARod's guys grilling Selig on the stand as well as the Yankees folks for their awful health care they gave Alex. Probably smart, though, as Alex was looking at $10m in legal fees and little hope of recouping that in suspension reduction.
