Can someone explain this bounty shit to me? Just saw it pop up on ESPN before they moved to another topic

Saints players and staff were paying out for not simply big hits on opposing players, but for injuring them enough to remove them from the game.

This has cap ramifications along with going against the current, "we're trying to make the sport safer", image. The Saints won't get off light for this.

I kind of hated the Wii game, honestly. I thought the art was uninspired and the continuation of the story lame. The animation is also awful and if I remember correctly, you had to sit through the whole thing for each battle, which made the game excruciatingly long.

I hate excessive animations and load times in modern RPGs. It is one reason a lot of the old school ones remain more enjoyable. This is making me want to replay the GBA fire emblem games...

Speaking of the GC I really liked the design of that system and controller even though I did not like many games on it (PS2s library was a million times better).

 

[bionic77]

Is the 3DS bc with DS? Never had a DS, thinking about maybe picking up a 3DS.

Get a used DS lite today you cheap bastard.

Such a great system.

 

[jakncoke]

Get a used DS lite today you poor bastard.

Such a great system.

I was just figuring 3DS being able to play new games and bc catalog as well. More bang for the buck.

The College Dropout was an excellent album.

Not native res supposedly and looks a little blurry. So cheap and awesome battery on the Lite.

Buy one ASAP or turn in your nerd card.

 

[BakedPigeon]

We suck ass, no heart, we turn over the ball like 20 times a game, our top recruit quit the team and went back to drinking bagged milk. We might not even make the NIT. 16-15 regular season.

Path of Radiance for Gamecube was the most fun I ever had playing Fire Emblem, and I love Fire Emblem.

Radiant Dawn pales in comparison. I've restarted it three times and still can't stick with it.

Oh it looks blurry for DS games, Im sure that'd be annoying.

I don't notice anything. I'm sure it's true, but not anything that bothers me.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I don't notice anything. I'm sure it's true, but not anything that bothers me.

Yeah, the blurry thing is overstated, plus if it really annoys you that much you can play the games in their original aspect ratio.

 

[ActStriker]

Yeah, it's really not that blurry especially if you've been used to playing on larger screens like the DSi/DSi XL.

 

[Slo]

?

NAILED IT!

 

[jakncoke]

Cool.

 

[squicken]

Fuck it. I don't care if they get the next Mike Mamula. I want the Rams to grab Stephen Hill. Hope he's there at #33, but if it takes something like #22, that's fine. I just would rather have him in back half of round 1 than Blackmon in top 10. I don't think Blackmon will ever be a home run WR

I don't know about the plural form but it's spelled with only one "d". Here's an easy way to remember, All Day I Dream About Slo.

[DeaconKnowledge]

Goddammit. 3rd fucking interview?! Just give me the job already.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Tempting a class of kids with a pizza party, for selling chocolate... Is that a bounty? LOL

 

[jakncoke]

I was bountied as a child in midget football league. To sell shitty overpriced french bread pizzas to keep the league going, in return a chance to go to a Steelers/Bills game.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

No, that's a bribe. Totally different wheelhouse.

 

[SonnyBoy]

No, that's a bribe. Totally different wheelhouse.

Fair enough.

 

[yacobod]

Would you guys be interested in doing the first round mock twice? (Before and after Free Agency)

honestly you should probably just have it after the opening of free agency, just like the real draft. instead of doing it twice.

 

[levious]

Tempting a class of kids with a pizza party, for selling chocolate... Is that a bounty? LOL

would this pizza be in addition to the five pizza parties per year maximum that was mandated by the school district?

Either he wrote the title on the backside of the "book" or it's the Asian version of the playbook. :/

Put me on the Colts but I think it's pretty obvious what we'll be doing with the first overall.

 

[SonnyBoy]

I fear that the NFL is becoming too successful. It's almost as if it's trying to appease too many people, groups, factions, etc, etc, to the detriment to "on the field" product.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

On topic, Plax was on Sirius today, and said he loved big grey equipment, whatever that means.

I'm pretty sure that's slang for zombie cock.

 

[jakncoke]

Woodall pisses me off so much.

 

[Milchjon]

I'm pretty sure that's slang for zombie cock.

I bet that's why they call him Big Ben.

 

[Futurevoid]

On the subject of Plax:

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2012/03/plax-return-to-giants-a-great-possibility

Plaxico Burress may have his sights set on playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he won’t rule out a reunion with the Giants. In fact, he called it a “great possibility” that he would return to play for Tom Coughlin, whom he called “a great coach.”

Oh, Plax. I have zero interest in bringing him in. I'd prefer to see one of the younger guys develop after Mario leaves.

 

[Greg]

Just got my Vita.

After 6 years of typing in my damn wireless password, I'm finally downloading the newest update.

 

[jakncoke]

If Plax is willing to play for min., I guess it wouldn't be so bad having him on the team.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Saints players and staff was paying not just for big hits on players, but paying they're guys if they injured players on the other team that could take them out of the game.

Had cap ramifications along with going against current safety attempts so it won't get off light.

That's majorly fucked up

 

[jakncoke]

I hope number figures are eventually given out for the bounties.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

That's majorly fucked up

Not only did they have bounties, but they were targeting grandpas like Brett Favre and Kurt Warner.

Ageist bastards.

 

[jakncoke]

god this team sucks

edit: lol at whoever said Randy looked like old randy on the ticker thing on espn. bullshit, i dont that for a second

 

[ActStriker]

Goddammit. 3rd fucking interview?! Just give me the job already.

What company are you interviewing at that wants three interviews? Who the hell does that?

 

[Talon]

What company are you interviewing at that wants three interviews? Who the hell does that?

...most large companies.

 

[eznark]

I'm going to be an asshole and bail on the draft. I thought we'd start it was earlier. I'm going to be in Arizona fro spring training from Thursday morning to Tuesday and I'll be in a conference all day tomorrow.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

ESPN is now reporting that onfield microphones heard an unidentified Saints defender yelling "Pay me my Money! Pay me my Money!" after Favre went down in the 2009 NFCCG.

Good job, Saints. Way to lose all the national goodwill that Katrina earned you. Not even the second coming of the great flood could get them out of this now.

 

[ActStriker]

...most large companies.

I thought most companies did two tops?

edit: Unless you're counting the phone interview as one

How do I make this happen?

Who started calling that shit "Sinnersgate"? Worst -gate ever. I propose we find a better name.

Pay-a-ton? Scrutiny on the Bounty? FloodGate? Ugh, I got nothing...

Which is hilarious, Plax is just doing his sell job. Here he is on Big Ben:

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2012/03/burress-calls-roethlisberger-his-favorite-quarterback-is-open-to-returning-to-steelers/

I'd say the odds of him going back to NY or Pittsburgh are slim and none.

As for the Saints, the story is just getting funnier and funnier.
