I'm at work so I can't go that in depth with my explanation, but I'll try to stick to the point. Look, I know this guy is a piece of shit. He's a scumbag that physically abused a woman. I unfortunately have to cheer for this guy to get sacks on opposing QBs so it helps my team win. With that said, why is this case getting so much more attention than the other domestic abuse cases in the NFL - so much attention that I still can't turn on the radio without hearing Hardy's name? Why did the Ray Rice case get so much attention? Pictures. Since 2000 there have been 83 domestic violence arrests in the NFL. Visual evidence has been released and in the spotlight for Hardy and Rice's cases which will obviously draw more reaction, but what about all of those other cases? Are we giving those players a pass simply because pictures aren't around of the abuse? I'm obviously a little sick of all this because he's a Cowboy, and yes, I have my schmuck of an owner to thank for that, but I'm sick of them getting killed for this. It was reported that the Bucs were interested in signing Hardy. And I can guarantee you there were several other teams interested as well. These NFL teams don't give a shit. If the player has enough talent and the team can use him, they'll sign him. That's the real issue here. If all 32 teams can make a stand against these types of men, then we're getting somewhere.

Honestly the funniest part about this whole thing was watching Rodney Harrison rip Jeff Fisher for this before SNF. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black lol. Fisher's response to Harrison's comments is great:

Peter King spoke about this on the radio and made two arguments (not saying I necessarily agree with them, just throwing them out there): 1. Has Rex really named every player as captain against their former team in his coaching career? 2. If the player you name captain was a significant player on the former team, that's one thing. Jets fans didn't even know who IK was before he broke Geno's jaw.

Hey I said it may not be the best word. Meh, I've seen an argument that while the hit was legal Hicks threw extra mustard into it on the way down targeting Romo's shoulder. It's mostly biased Cowboys fans making that argument, but it's an argument nonetheless.

Considering this was the guy that took out Romo, I won't bullshit you TGP. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a low voice in my head saying, "karma". Well, that may not be the best word because I don't really think it was intentional...maybe more along the lines of "what a shame." Sucks for the Eagles because he was playing really well.

Man...I'm sure someone will prove me wrong with a statistic, but it seems like there are so many more injuries this season compared to the past. Or at least more significant players getting injured. I feel like we say it every year but injuries just seem to be more frequent this year.

oochymp Good series, my friend. Both teams had a couple opportunities but the better team advanced. I was at the game. Pretty good atmosphere for RBA especially since the Jets were playing at home at the same time. On to Columbus! ETA - Trying to upload a pic from the game but it keeps showing a car for some reason lol

You better pick different teams.

Never heard of it.

This weekend will say a lot about TCU. Big game.

I already rejected it after speaking with BLUE in the shout box. Good point about Floyd's potential rise in production with Allen going down for the season. I didn't even think of that when considering the trade.

Not sure where to put this so I'll throw it in this topic. I got offered a trade: I receive: Rueben Randle Justin Forsett I give up: Malcolm Floyd Rashard Jennings TDs are important in this league. It's only 1pt for 25yds, 6pt TDs, No PPR...what do you think?

I finally got Black Spindle exotic sniper rifle. That mission was freaking tough...

Cam barely got me enough points to win regardless of the Brees benching. I forgive you, Vin.

^Spurs definitely have a good team this year. Really curious to see where they end up. Well the away goals rule could help you. You net the first goal and that blows the game wide open. It'll be an entertaining game I'm sure. Second legs usually are.

lol the what if game... You completed 54.5% of your passes. That's pretty shocking. ETA - Oh and on the goal I thought Hamid should have came out for that ball. Bit of Coutinho magic from the weekend: https://vine.co/v/e3MJvtwxQxj

It's not happening. Your strategy in the first leg was to sit back and play it safe, but you won't be able to do that next weekend. Mark me down for a 2-0 Red Bulls victory.

Not one of the better ones but still pretty funny

Liverpool beat Chelsea 3-1 Red Bulls beat DC 1-0 first leg of the playoffs. Don't see you getting by us now. CYA UNITED This weekend was great for soccer.

Yeah, I've seen some replays and I'll withdraw my inital thought that it was a "definite" handball. The call could have gone either way. Looks like we meet in the playoffs again, oochymp. NYRB vs DC is always fun especially in the playoffs. Predictions? I believe the current holders of the Supporters Shield will win.

It was a very good game. I'm not sure who to root for tonight because I don't know if I want to face you guys or Toronto... No comment on the ending huh? Jermaine Jones is going to face severe punishment for making contact with the official. Can't remember if I've ever watched a game where a player has done that before. I will say this...that was DEFINITELY a handball especially if the one before that was for DC. I can understand why Jones was fuming because he brought that ball down perfectly and New England deserved the opportunity to level the score on a PK.

You watching oochymp?

Warpriest isn't a real boss? Huh. Someone inform Bungie. Your brother wasn't wrong stating the group could have been better equipped. My guys didn't have the best gear but anything equipped was to increase their LL to the max. Unfortunately completing the raid is half the battle to help solve that issue. Regardless, if you two joined we would have beat it. No doubt. Between your brother and I we could have led the communication and as long as the rest of you guys followed instructions and didn't fuck up, it should have been a smooth run. Your issue with drops is certainly a valid one. Fortunately it doesn't happen to me too often and I have two types of characters anyway. But if you only have one character and you're rewarded gear that you can't even equip for said character, that's definitely annoying.

That's more like it.
