QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) It also would not be shocking at all if this rotation (and bullpen) managed to improve during the season. In fact, with 2 guys coming off injury and a couple rookies as well just in the starters, that's kind of exactly what we should have hoped for. Of course it wouldn't, were 27 games into the season.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) Danks has been solid and should have rightly been expected to preform at this level. No one had reason to suspect Johnson to be this horrid. Paulino and the pen where always major points of contention and rightfully so. Some of the issues should have been foreseen but no one could have speculated it to be this horrific. Danks has not been solid, hes not striking people out and hes walking too many. Its going to catch up to him eventually. All we had was a small sample of Johnson at the major league level. I didn't think he would be outright terrible but I also didn't think he was a lock to be a good starter either. Paulino was a huge question mark, there was no reason what so ever to think a guy who hadn't pitched in the majors since 2012 was going to come in and be a solid contributor to the rotation. I agree that thinking it was going to be horrific wasn't on anyone's mind, but its not shocking that the pitching has been struggling thus far. We had a patch work bullpen and only two starting pitchers who you would say are rock solid reliable.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 29, 2014 -> 01:05 PM) Did anyone really foresee such a bad start for team pitching? I know some were concerned about the bullpen Everyone should have foreseen this unless they just assumed Paulino, Johnson, and Danks were going to be solid options.. We all knew the bullpen was a concern.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 05:38 PM) It is said that there were several people who were displeased backstage about the decision to have Undertaker lose to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30, but were not able (and won't) say anything publicly about it. - The decision to end the streak was reportedly made by Vince McMahon, not Undertaker. - Regarding who knew ahead of time that the Streak was ending, it is certain that Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker and Paul Heyman knew, and possibly Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Beyond that, it is difficult to say. No finish was listed on the script but that isn't unusual and it wasn't the only one for the PPV. None of the agents reportedly knew. - Those who saw Undertaker backstage at Raw said that he had a heavy limp and looked to be "in rough shape." The referee in the Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match didn't know the end result. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Chad Patton was actually informed ahead of the match that Undertaker would win, but complied with the rule given to all WWE referees. That rules is that if a wrestler does not kick out, you go ahead and finish with the three count as if it were exactly what was planned. Credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter According to this Undertaker did NOT make the call. I don't see any way that Undertaker was not involved in the decision to end the streak. Further more, I don't believe that the official didn't know the finish. You're telling me that when his arm got to two and a half he was like "I guess this guy isn't going to kick out" and in that split second ended the match even though going into it he was told Undertaker was to win the match?

Katy would sell that out easy

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 20, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) My PS3 is backwards compatible and can play all of my PS, PS2 games. So I wont be trading it in. Why the f*** would anyone still want to play a playstation game?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 09:39 AM) I doubt I'll make it that long. Dear family, Best Buy gift cards please. K thnx. I'm definitely keeping the ps3, though. It's still a top-of-the-line bluray player and media hub. I'm not trading in that beast for like $70. Ok, this is all full of wrong.. First, if you get a PS4 there is no reason what so ever to keep the PS3. Its still a bluray player and media hub. Secondly, I traded in my XBOX360 and just Black Ops 2 and got $150 store credit. If you have more than 1 game and trade it in when they are running promos youll get way more than $70

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 17, 2013 -> 06:36 PM) Not really impressed with my ps4 so far. Killzone graphics are nice but still nothing too great. PSN is a disaster so far. The graphics are great, I am not sure how anyone could be unimpressed with it so far. This is so early in the next gen too, wait till they start making games strictly for next gen. There was a problem with PSN for about 20 minutes on console launch day, havent had even the slightest issue with it since.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 17, 2013 -> 04:11 AM) So did anyone get a PS4? Its absolutely beautiful. The games look great on it, I love it.

its $399 and you think there is going to be a price drop anytime soon? Trade in all your current stuff you cheap asses, I got $160 at gamestop for my xbox and black ops too.

Hard to argue otherwise

lol thought you guys said the Bulls were good..

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Oct 10, 2013 -> 12:17 AM) Assuming this is a 2 qb league but I dont see why anyone would trade a premiere receiver for Bowe and Pryor. It is a 2 QB league and it is also 6 points per TD pass. Im not asking for Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant, but I think with our league settings and it being a 2 for 1 deal its more than fair. Hes the 19th overall scoring QB and thats with missing one game.

So going into week 6 I sit at 3-2 in my main league. I have the third most points scored, and the most points scored against. Here is what my roster currently looks like with one trade and waiver pick ups. QB 1 - Peyton Manning QB 2 - Andrew Luck Bench - Terrelle Pryor RB 1 - Matt Forte RB 2 - Steven Jackson Bench - LeVeon Bell Bench - Giovanni Bernard WR 1 - Eric Decker WR 2 - Antonio Brown Flex 1 - Josh Gordon Bench - Dwayne Bowe Bench - TY Hilton TE 1 - Rob Gronkowski Kicker 1 - Streaming Defense 1 - Streaming I traded Reggie Bush and Hakeem Nicks for Steven Jackson and Antonio Brown. I am trying to trade Terrelle Pryor and Dwayne Bowe in a 2 for 1 kind of deal to get another WR 1 type. Do you think it would be wise to offer up Pryor and Josh Gordon? I like Gordon, but I would play Decker, Brown, and the WR I acquire over Gordon every week so I may not even need him. Opinions? I have offered Dwayne Bowe and Terrelle Pryor for Victor Cruz, and then the same offer for Roddy White to another team. They either didnt like the offer or never looked at it because its been a few days and no one has said anything. This is a 6 point per TD pass league too so a good QB is very valuable.

Ide play Nicks. The trend seems to be complain about not getting the ball and you get it a lot the next week. Wallace did it, Brown did it, now its Nicks turn.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 06:18 PM) A guy in my league is somehow 2-1 despite drafting Michael Turner. He also has Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers. Due to Kaepernick's struggles, I've offered him Fred Jackson and Greg Jennings (I wanted to give him Royal, but he said he'd rather have Jennings) for Ryan. He's really in no position to bargain with me considering Rodgers' bye is this week and Ryan will be more or less useless to him afterwards. Do you guys think a trade like this will go through? It shouldn't, that's terrible for the guy giving up Ryan..Jennings is a ghost and Fred Jackson is in a time share at best..

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 11:53 AM) I have bad WRs so I need to take some flyers. Dwayne Bowe, man, I drafted him just before someone wrote that great post about how Alex Smith's checkdowns would make him worthless. They were right f'ing on. That was ME. Alex Smith takes no risks and doesn't throw the ball down the field.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 19, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) It's very odd to get rid of a guy after only two games, though. Something must have happened. Yeah, they suck and decided to clean house. Richardson is perfect for the Colts offense, Cleveland gets a second 1st round pick to go for a QB.. I thought it was a great trade for both teams

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 08:51 AM) Great episodes for both Dexter and Breaking Bad. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how both end. Id hardly call any recent episode of Dexter great.. this season is awful and with one episode left, there's little chance they can wow me..

I heard some rumors that they arent announcing GTA for the next gen consoles because it could hurt sales with people not buying it now and just waiting two months. I really hope it comes over to next gen because I really want to play it.

Traded in my 360 and Black Ops 2 today for a cool $155. Pre ordered and paid off both Call of Duty Ghosts and Watch Dogs, threw the extra cash on an extra PS4 controller. Now I play the waiting game. Only 2 months, shouldn't be too bad I have football to hold me over. Although it is depressing that ill never get to play GTA V or Batman Origins. I definitely wanted Ghosts, but I didn't know what else to get so I just bought Watch Dogs. Its not that interesting to me but I don't know what else to get, I can always change it later.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 03:09 PM) Austin will get better every week. Givens targets will go down going forward. Based on what? Also, why the hell would someone start any defense playing New Orleans?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) My opponent started Vreen, and he scored him 15 pts. s***. Luckily for me, Reggie Wayne had a nice game, Aaron Rodgers is doing work for me, and I still have Witten and Murray left to play tonight, down by 19 right now. After the year he had last season, I am going to be quite depressed if Ridley is phased out of the offense.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 8, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) Well, I guess I should trade Stevan Ridley asap now. Fumbles, gets benched, and then Vreen goes 100+ yards. Glad my 2nd RD pick has just become fodder......s***. Tell me about it, luckily I also drafted Vereen so I will still be fine.. Im hoping this isnt the end of Ridley

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 7, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) We do not get PPR, but we do get points for a KO and PR TD. Non PPR ide say Bradshaw (If hes playing), Tate, Austin I don't look too much into Bradshaw not playing in the preseason because that could have just been to keep him protected. Whats interesting to me is hes a 1 year rental so the Colts are just going to use the crap out of him because hes not in the long term plans. Oakland is going to be fighting with the Jets for worst team in the league, I love all defense plays against them and any high powered offense players against them. I think Bradshaw will play tomorrow, and I think hell do good. The worst part would be for him to play sparingly and the game to be over by halftime. Either way, I think Tate or Bradshaw is the best route to go. Tavon if you're into taking risks.
