Probably the best graphics of all time.

But if you think that is being servicing then you are an ignorant slut who might be a boy but sure as hell ain't a JoyConBoyz.

It's an amazingly breathtaking game with fluid combat and solid gameplay me mechanics, but Zelda has kept me away from it for the time being.

Plus I still have to check out Legion, but I hope to get in an least an hour of HZD today.

Oh yeah definitely check out Legion,

I've been getting a mission or two at a time but I have spring break in two weeks so I'm hoping to get through most of it then,

Is there even a single team running the pistol offense? Kap would not fit into a pro style offense must teams run.

A team just beat themselves and nobody else to pay Mike Glennon $15 mil. He is a better option to have on a team for cheap than most options teams can and will consider paying stupid cash for, and I can't be convinced otherwise

Mass effect 4 is pretty bland. Played a bit on eaaccess and don't think I'll keep my preorder. Maybe zelda has ruined every other game moving forward??

It looks terrible. The gunplay looks janky af, and the animations look like shit.

Not even sure if EA gives a fuck anymore because they know people will buy it.

Who would he start for then?
Click to expand...

In my honest opinion, he could start for any of: Bears, Browns, Broncos (only if Siemian is still first, I assume Paxton's starter Week 1 but not confirmed yet), Jaguars, Jets

Backup for any of: Bills (backup and not start because I assume the Tyrod situation has somehow been smoothed over, if not move to Start), Texans, Chiefs, Dolphins, Vikings (depending on Teddy's situation, I still doubt he ever comes back), Raiders, Skins, Titans (assuming Mariota recovers well) and Ravens

You made promises BG and then didn't do shit.

That is not the JoyCon way.

Now we can't trust anything you say.

Why would Kap start ahead of Mariota?

I didn't even mean in terms of football conversation. Just trying to say people don't even have an actual convo about about anime, they just scream it and drop gifs. That doesn't really have any place in the community.

We've moved to a discord chat, so we don't really discuss that stuff here anymore, but from time to time I click in to see if there is anything worth talking about.

There's a discord?!?!

You assholes!

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Randy Cross on donating his brain to CTE research:

To any former players wondering why they should donate their brain to this cause, here’s my simple pitch.

Most football players understand what it means to contribute to something bigger than themselves — to work together to accomplish something great. That’s what our game is all about: shared sacrifice and devotion to each other in pursuit of a common goal. And that’s the opportunity we have here.

I don’t believe that the entities making billions of dollars off of our labor are going to fully commit to fixing this problem. As long as there are college and professional players willing to accept the currently known risks and strap on a helmet, there is not a whole lot of motivation for these large organizations to change things in a meaningful way.

So it’s incumbent upon us former players to lead the charge.

This is an area of research that is breaking new ground, but this isn’t a problem that is going to be solved soon. We are not on the verge of a cure. That’s pretty obvious.

We as former players own the ultimate study material for scientists. So it just doesn’t feel right to withhold it from people who actively are searching for a solution.

For a long time, cigarette companies denied that the smoking had any negative health effects. It wasn’t until there was accepted research to the contrary that cigarette companies were forced to indicate on their packaging that smoking might cause long-term damage. Those warnings became stronger over time, and it’s pretty clear now to anybody who lights up a cigarette that they are making a choice with consequences. It’s all explicitly listed on the packaging and widely accepted. There’s no room for doubt.

I want every person who plays football to have that level of understanding of the risks they’re taking on when they play the game.

There have been so many generations of players who never had that chance. It was not until fairly recently that football organizations began to recognize the potential dangers associated with head injuries. Now we have a lot of catching up to do.

For the last decade or so, CTE has been treated by players like the 800-pound gorilla in the room. To acknowledge it would mean owning up to the fact that they’re scared of it — or that they may already be suffering some of the side effects. That’s something that football players simply aren’t wired to do. It’s against our nature. But I’m hopeful that we’re reaching a point where we can move past that. A player’s first impulse will always be to try to shake it off and keep reaching for the helmet. But hopefully soon we’ll be able to accept that CTE is something we’re all scared of and we can try to fix this problem together.

We owe that to the next generation.

We owe that to each other.

Didn't get to throw much deep last season, but he has a cannon.


It's only Drew Brees
Click to expand...

Ah, that's good. Our QB had to throw it early and let Ross run under it last season because he didn't have a cannon arm. If he was even a split second late Ross would end up having to wait for the ball to get there. Happened a bunch.

I would not start Kap over Siemian and definitely not Bortles who's capable of giving you close to 4000 yards passing in a season, something Kap will never be able to give you, Bortles is only 24.

As long as Bort keeps getting those 4-12 Jag teams he will always put up those numbers.

Hope the Jags stick with him longer

I'd rather have Kap than Simeian or Lynch. Bortles need someone to back him up but they won't because the coaches don't wanna ruin thr confidence of one of the worst starting QBs in the league. Bucs need a backup. Bears need a starter. Boom there. Although, I think Josh Sitton is a Trump supporter or some shit so he'd fight Colin day 0.

Shit if my Titans or Lions had him as a backup, good.

Spike Lee tryin to get Kap a job?

What does he mean when he says "Look at the QB's for all 32 teams"?

I'm really curious what he's going for there.

Siemian is a smart kid who is decent in the pocket and will win the QB competition even if Kap is in the mix, Bortles will start so why start a QB controversy when it's clear Kap still thinks he's a starter?

I doubt the Bears would go for Kap when they're signing someone like Glennon, they want a gunslinger in the pocket.
