Well that was exciting. Look how excited I am. Cause it's still a fucking loss. Seriously, remember Ryan Mathews (I hate that one-T) fumble-itis? It's not an object any more cause it's clearly a team problem. I don't know if there's something not being coached, or a lack of intensity in practice or ...

*sigh, again* A few sacks can be worked around with chip blocking... if need be. Not that I'm saying I don't want McNeill, that's just setting up -- what you CAN'T just work around is 14-17 point holes generated entirely by turnovers and hapless special teams. Our offense has outperformed the other ...

Word. There truely is a lot of selective amnesia (or likely for all those non-Chargers fans, plain ignorance) about the whole VJ drama: one more DUI and, contract or not, he's riding a bench for the rest of the season. Food for thought: the Chargers 14-point opening loss was the 1st game in almost 2...

I have to echo Shep's amazement that the screen protector wasn't the graphic display instructions when I opened the package. (I got one too) Like him, this is my 1st Kindle and I like it. I would say love, but between some school work, my day job and NFL/fantasy football, I've left myself little rea...

I fucking love Brandon Siler. The guy just makes plays. He's got a pick, forced one just now and his 59 is invariably near every backfield play against the run.

What the fuck is happening in San Diego? Matthews: lost fumble. Gerrard: 3 pics. Rivers: 2 pics. Sims-Walker: lost fumble.

7 turnovers in the first 19 minutes of this game! edit: add a blocked punt against San Diego (David Binn is out for the 1st time in about 150 games)

Matthews fumbled again, hopefully he gets over that.
Also, he's out with a right ankle injury. He had to be helped off and was then carted off to the locker room... *sigh* Long day. Mike Tolbert looks great though.

*sigh*.... Get this, I got Jahvid Best in my fantasy league... warming the bench. (between his relative puny yardage -- yes he had 2 TD's last week -- and facing a good Philly defense which really was holding Green Bay to little yardage until they got tired due to offensive lack of production, and h...

Someone should check on Elfdart. http://www.facebook.com/profile/pic.php?uid=AAAAAQAQh45b6qO9gVCZrseAWf79hgAAAApQD--6KqgpDddH1FovIKiI JESUS TITTYFUCKING CHRIST! Why in the fuck does Norv Turner keep calling that retarded handoff to the smallest back in football in the red zone? Is it some kind of g...

Holy crap, the Patriots juggernaut might be back. I had a feeling I should bench Cedric Benson (it wasn't easy) but I had no idea this was in store. Also, he threw a pic already (that's inevitable) but it looks like the greatest show on turf might be moving to grass. I got 3 games televised here (Ar...

This is vexing. I joined a fantasy league for the 1st time although I wasn't present for it (I had duty) and auto-drafted. In general, I was screwed by 1) getting no bona-fide #1 WR and 2) a lot of rookies, although Ryan Matthews is the safest of the bunch. (the other 2 are Jahvid Best and Dez Bryan...

This is only surprising in the sense that, well, Americans (should :cry: ) realize these aren't real people, by virtue of the fact 1) they're actors and 2) it's a movie. Based on a book. Not that that isn't sad enough but this isn't THAT surprising because the precedent of fantastic religions sprout...

My thoughts? Since I'm one of the few people left in the country able and willing to read a roadmap instead of GPS I'll be the only one who isn't lost. Most likely, some fools will run around in a gibbering panic. Me, at most it will be an annoyance, and I'll just keep sailing along. I'm with Broom...

[DOUBLE POST] pos

Frankly the tone of the post suggests a degree of cognitive dissonance: the extreme caricature of anyone whom the author considers 'rich' smells like sour grapes. Well, being rich is *bad* and means that you are a *bad person;* I would never lower myself to such a thing. Is 'Sociopath Next Door' su...

Completely off-topic, but this vent makes more sense here than the proper venting thread:
SONUVABITCH, 3rd ACR is deploying? Their's was one of the better tasting dining facilities at Ft. Hood and although a 10 minute drive from me, I'd go there over the crappy one 5 minutes walk from my unit. *sigh*

We ARE NOT withdrawing all combat troops, we're withdrawing only 14,000 troops and leaving 50,000 in there but calling them advise and assist brigades despite being fully armed and fully fuctional. The DOD was even nice enough to provide a partial list of the "advise and assist brigades" ...

One interpretation of all this might be that selfish people find it easier to become rich. Another is that becoming rich makes one a selfish douchebag. The existence defines the character. Becoming one of the rich requires to be a douchebag, because rising to richness in capitalism is built on douc...

Add up the eventual mass nuking of Nazi Germany and genocide plans continuing undisturbed, and the whole thing could've been much, much worse than historically. This is the key consideration; if the Germans do any better than historically, it ends up much, much worse for them. The decision to subst...

Loved the essay. Hate the reason he has to write it and I really bemoan the fact that this already spread to his lymph nodes. He's been quite blunt recently stating "I'm dying" so at least he remains for now lucid. Hopefully to the end, cause par for the course, there's a billion crossed f...

Is not another problem that Iraq is alot like the original United States in that not a whole lot of people where really, truly have any dedication to the whole nation but rather the small subunit they are apart of? I've heard that one issue is that Iraqis are perfectly willing to fight and die for ...

Fuck yeah Starglider, typical gamer interests are narrow as all hell, although I think developers share some of the blame. WWII and the modern era are simply well-tread territory and considered "safer." Actually talking to some other typical gamers though, I get this vibe that "modern...

On reflection, I remember this very idea was brought up... SOMEWHERE (the thread is fucking huge) in the recent Salvation War Thread about the idea of the Satanic Army evolving. In this, the board consensus arrived at a conclusion about Satanic culture that very readily describes the difficulties in...

Well, that's why I made an allowance for the possibility that it may be cultural, or maybe it's just illusory There are very real cultural road blocks and there's been a lot of media and professional literature bemoaning this fact. Even before we ground their Army beneath our boot heels (twice) the...

No, no, no. If you can point and say 'neener neener you suck too' it makes the problem go away. :) Way to miss the point. Mine was: American roads quite likely are worse -- they've got a lot of things going against them, from being more spread out to sheer use. If it's rural, one the one hand, they...
