I just can't stay away, the Office is so watchable.
I have not seen P&R. I might have to give it a shot. I initially strayed from it because Im just not a fan of Amy Poehler, I tend to think she is given too much credit. But, since I am running out of things to line up, perhaps I should whisk away my perceptions and go with it...

Go Oregon, except for those with the classless taunts on Winston...

Winston has been very classless. He is from where I live, i could tell you stories..

With that said... Go Oregon!!!

I skipped over a lot of that BS because, you know, media being soooooo trustworthy and thorough, so perhaps youre right. I just thought them taunting him with the no means no chant was sorta dickish.
If he wouldve done something on the field, then yea, by all means, lay into him, but that? I dunno, just wouldnt have wanted my players to do that if I were a coach

My tastes have changed dramatically over my lifetime.
As one that has lived through every single iteration of home video game systems, and dominating any and every video or arcarde game, simply because I could, my desires to challenge games are dwindling.
I find my playlist becoming restricted to sports games, and has been for many years.
The shoot em ups and rock em sock em days arent a big draw to me anymore. Not because I dont like them, because I do, I just find Im not good at them anymore, for some stupid reason. Yea, I could pare everything down to beginner level but then Im condescending to myself and it kills the fun.
The other thing is that Im a harsh critic, and I know that. But if you follow some of my posts about my experience with some games, you see Im rather unforgiving on issues that we as gamers have seen for decades and with technology today, those things shouldnt exist. Now, what I know about videogame development could fill a thimble and Im admittedly ignorant, unless we are discussing plotlines, story arcs, cinematic structure etc... but nonethelss, my complaints are legit, to me.
So I guess I am sorta withdrawing into mmy own little yard and spouting, get off my lawn, but hopefully a game or two will come along to change all of that. Every year theres great hype surrounding one, two or three games but it usually ends up sucking ass and I buy my two or so sports titles a year and submerge myself.

Wait, what was the question...?

A script by Nicholas Pileggi (Goodfellas, Casino) about mobster Gregory Scarpa, is set to be produced by Irwin Winkler and directed by Brad Furman.
As a lover of all things mafia, I'm hoping this one turns out well, even with Stallone as the lead

While waiting for Newsroom and Homeland to finish up their current runs, I decided to fire up The Office...again...for the fifth time...

Saw that.  This guy is delusional, but, I'm glad he's playing. If Dallas had won, all that would've been talked about is how Suh would've won the game if the cowardly NFL hadn't been involved in a conspiracy to keep him out.
Ok, maybe a bit much, but you get the idea.

I'll add that it cracks me up when Rodney Harrison chastises dirty players. He made Suh look like a waterboy...

by the scores, TCU looks like they should've been one of the four and although it's moot, nobody will ever create an argument that will have me agree that a team losing head to head should be champ, or co champ.
Ever.
Period.
End of discussion.
That said, that Baylor loss was brutal, and I'm witnessed as saying after the first score, one only need watch the last 3 minutes of a Baylor game.
I'm tired of bein right ;-)
The Bears, like 90% of college teams, absolutely suck on defense and that and special teams cost them. I really feel for Briles more than the players though, such a great coach, I like to see him do well.
Go Oregon, except for those with the classless taunts on Winston...

Good to know. I obviously didn't see every lions game under his command but I saw a good number and that seemed to be a theme but I didn't wanna declare without having input from a more knowledgable source.

As for your predictions, there is one thing I can say for certainty; on a big stage, the Cowboys make heroes out of nobodies (individuals) so look for someone in a subpar season have a career day. Also, Calvin Johnson will have huge numbers. I'd bet the over on this game as I think it will be high scoring.
Only way Johnson doesn't have a big day is if Dallas holds the ball, which is what they should do anyway.

Loved the A&M and Clemson games. Always brings a smile to my face to see the Sooners get flushed

The last time the Detroit Lions won in Wisconsin, I was a freshman in college...that still stands. What that means is that Green Bay wins the NFC North and gets the first round bye, while Detroit gets the Wild Card spot with an 11-5 record and gets to play next Sunday...at Dallas.  8)

Full NFL Wild Card Round Schedule is right here. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000451057/article/nfl-playoffs-schedule-announced?icampaign=Playoffpicture_news

Sorry Dallas fans, but your Cowboys don't scare me. Bring it. :D

As a Dallas fan, evey team scares me right now for resons stated above, however, I do like the way they are playing and I love the outlook, but we better find a new QB fast because I believe Romo just had his last great year.
I think we can beat anyone right now, I also believe we could lay an egg.

Norm, hass Suh played his last game as a Lion?
Im not onee to buy into media hype but Suh doesnt do much to help his cause. I think he is consistently diirtier than the average NFLer and no doubt the Rodgers thing was intentional IMO

Not to be antagonistic, but I always thought Schwartz was a dirty tactics coach, or at least encouraged it. That a misinformed opinion?
