The OT, 12/29

PrintWith all the enthusiasm for people wanting to create their own OT threads I'm surprised no one has made more of the opportunity the last few days.
Normally I would talk about how the warm day yesterday was just a cock tease from god, and how the skies have resumed shitting snow and why that upsets me, but I'm felling cheery so I'll leave you with this:

As horrible of a day it was for football, I'm gonna dwell on the positive.

Romo and the Cowboys get blown out of the water
and the Patriots miss the playoffs despite going 11-5.
Yesterday was a great day for football.
Eh at least the Seahawks secured the 4th pick.
I also have no emotional attachment to Brett Farve and was rather disgusted by the bind he put the Packers in last summer.
I hope he retires now
His last play would have been an illegal forward pass.

As much as I'm a Favre fan, that would be hilarious!
Man do I love midgets.
I think the Packers did the best they could given the circumstances.
Either retire or don’t.
Man do I love midgets.
And let's face it, this isn't the first time Favre pulled that kind of shit.
I can’t fucking wait until he retires.

I'm a fan of his, but I agree.
He looked his age the second half of the season.
Man do I love midgets.
Farve told the Packers he was going to retire
and the Packers went forward to model a new offense for a new quarterback. Then Farve decides he wants to unretire and play again well into training camp after the playbook had been redesigned for Aaron Rodgers.
Now the Packers are in an unfortunate situation where they must either A) Trade Farve and try to explain to the fanbase why their long-time franchise quarterback no longer fit into the offense or B) throw out all of the offensive playbook changes, give Aaron Rodgers the highway salute, and try to change everything midway through training camp.
That entire situation is entirely on Farve.
Maybe he shouldn't have said he was retiring for the last 5 years.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm placing money on him trying the same again this offseason as well

Which means I won't be able to read anything at all sports-related until next football season
because I was seriously about to kill the next person that wrote a “will he won’t he” article this past summer. And I don’t even like football.

I think all sports should have a rule
that if you come out and say the words “retired”, “time off”, or any other couching of “I quit”, that you have to sit out for a season before your miraculous comeback. I’m fine with people wanting to play as long as they can, just DON’T SIT THERE AND TELL ME YOU QUIT IF YOU HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF COMING BACK.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Try pulling that at your work, see what happens.
Man do I love midgets.
How's that sensitivity training going for you?
Formerly dpseadvr.
So all of a sudden when the first game rolls around they're screwed if he actually retired?
Man do I love midgets.
All I'm saying is that if you want to get someone to retire
who doesn’t really want to don’t be surprised when he comes back and when he does man up and grant him his release.
If he didn't want to retire, why didn't he just say so?
Man do I love midgets.
Look, I'm not saying Favre is entirely innocent
but I’m tried of the Packers being portrayed as holy innocents .
Both sides are at fault, for sure
But Favre shouldn’t have made it the situation that it was by just making up his mind from the get go

The larger problem was that Farve made this a yearly event.
The Packers could only deal with those late decisions for so many years before realizing they needed to move forward.
For nothing?
Why? He was under contract with them.
Man do I love midgets.
He was under contract.
That the Packers weren’t prepared to honourthat contract is their problem.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
His contract didn't guarantee him the starting job.
Man do I love midgets.
Which is what he wanted, and which was something the Packers couldn't give him.
If I recall correctly, the I believe the coaching staff said that they’d be fine with Farve unretiring and coming back in a reserve role.
That's correct, but that's not what they really wanted.
Man do I love midgets.
I love our first pick
One of either Stafford, Bradford, Smith, or Oher is ours!
Thank God you're not another person suggesting we draft Crabtree.
I’m sure he’s a talented player, I just don’t think he’s worth a Top-5 pick.

Sure, but other top 10 wideouts since 2000.
Plaxico (ignoring the self-shooting tendencies)
ANDRE FREAKIN JOHNSON
Larry Fitzgerald
Braylon (jury is out on this one)
Megatron
Plenty of the guys you listed weren’t top 5…
The point is who is evaluating the talent. Warrick was drafted by the Bengals, the Lions needed 3 busts before hitting on Megtron, and Roy Williams is not a bust. Any draft pick is a crapshoot (Robert Gallery!, Joey Harrington!), so it’s hard to completely ignore Crab
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
True, I was looking at top-15.
But WR’s are fungible for the most part, and highly volatile.
by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Dec 29, 2008 11:33 AM PST up reply actions
No doubt
I get the idea that most wideouts are crazy, and so finding one with a good head on his shoulders like Crabtree appears to have would be a solid move. Tons of talent + crazy leads to your receivers shooting themselves in the foot metaphorically (TO), in the leg actually, or just changing their last name to Ocho Cinco
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
No I realize that, but it's an issue as well.
The ones that aren’t drinking or doing drugs are brandishing weapons or punching teammates.

Yeah, that ep was kinda strange
but I thought that the taking-drugs aspect of it was a lot better done than most TV “don’t do drugs” shows – in most shows, someone would take one single hit off a pipe/joint, then proceed to kill a senior citizen while driving, or wrap their car around a tree and end up in a coma so everyone could gnash their teeth and say “OH NO IT WAS THE DRUGS THAT DID THIS TO HER!”, but Lindsey…had to go babysit. I loved the part where she looked at the kid and just said “I NEED MY SPACE, MAN”.

So, this is a little belated.
But I got an Edgar Martinez autographed baseball for Christmas. I guess there was some novelty to it because Edgar was eating a cheeseburger and greased stained his hand print onto the ball.
Should I be excited? I became a Mariners fan in 2005, which is post-Edgar era, and started watching the M’s in 2004 when Edgar was wearing down, but I am aware of how good of a hitter he was at his prime.
If only there were a market for such things
so you could buy them and not have to kill.

Considering he's Hall of Fame worthy, and one of the most beloved Seattle sports figures, yes. Absolutely.

Reading this thread made me go look at my Edgar ball. I had forgotten that JJ Putz and Felix had also signed the same baseball.
Aaaaaand, so did Bill Bavasi. What the hell was I thinking.
But it is worth mentioning I did have a ball autographed by John Henry and Preston Wilson back in 1999 when they were with the Marlins
But I think it was also signed by Billy the Marlin and the gang.
I've got a Randy Johnson thumbprint on a card he autographed for me back in 1989...

Isn't Sidney considered an extremely good hockey player as well?
Man do I love midgets.
Yeah but that poor loser isn't dating a pop star, so how can he even be considered
to be of the same caliber as Romo?
Sid, call me when your fame off the ice surpasses your fame on it. Loser.

I think the question is more like

It's a vehicle with a woman underneath it

It was a Sleigh pulled by reindeer. No one called it in...

Since no one else will say this I'm just going to throw it out there...
No one driving a car ends up getting dragged behind another vehicle. Next time drive to where you need to go or if you really want to help the environment take the bus.
Hardball Review Because we need another blog about the Mariners.
I'm going to take this as humor

Does anyone here own a set of Bose Companion 3 desktop speakers?
I’m looking into replacing my crappy Creative Labs speakers and was looking for some insight into this set of Bose.
Any other suggestions?
My inlaws have the Companion 3's
and they sound amazing enough that I’m considering buying a set myself. They’re really quite amazing.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I've been told that the sound quality is awesome.
My boss has a set of Companion 2s on his desk and those little guys really crank out a lot of sound.
It really is fantastic
They’re a touchy bass-heavy sometimes but it’s hardly noticable

Shoot I’m going to run both of my computers, 360, and TV through this.
I still have my Xbox 360 wireless adapter that I'm looking to get rid of.
Did anybody get an Xbox 360 for Christmas and is interested in going wireless?
by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Dec 29, 2008 2:12 PM PST reply actions
I think when I get mine I'm going to hardwire it.
I’ve heard it’s much better for online play.
Man do I love midgets.
How are you planning to do the hardwire?
Patch cable directly between the router to the 360? Running an ethernet drop?
Cable from router to the 360.
Man do I love midgets.
About 20 feet if I put the 360 where I want to.
Man do I love midgets.
If that's the distance you're fine running a patch cable.
If you were to go through walls and such I’d recommend building an ethernet drop.
I do have one wall to pass through....
Man do I love midgets.
Well, I'm sure it will work
I only suggest an ethernet drop on long distances/going through walls because it tends to be more visually pleasing. It’s easier to make an ethernet drop look clean as opposed to a patch cable.
The way I'm hoping to have mine set up, appearance won't be an issue.
I’m only worried about how good the connection is.
Man do I love midgets.
It's a pretty straight run, I should be okay.
Still need to buy a 360 first though!!
Man do I love midgets.
I'm hoping for an "after christmas" sale or something.
Or my tax return if it doesn’t all go towards car repairs and maintenance.
Man do I love midgets.
Probably the smart thing to do.
Waiting on a sale. I couldn’t cause I had to have it shipped to someone in time for them to bring it over for me. Saves money on the shipping.
Honestly I don't expect the base price of the unit to drop any time soon.
You might stumble on to a nice package deal, though.
I'm not set on it going down, but I thought I might get lucky if I waited a week or two.
Man do I love midgets.
I'm buying an Elite tonight.
Dell’s offering 15% off electronics through Jan. 2. You have to put in a coupon code. Link.
That sounds like a good deal.
I’ll check into it.
Man do I love midgets.
I'll most definitely check it out then.
Man do I love midgets.
And you don't have to get the Elite.
The 15% off coupon works for the other two levels, it appears. So your middle-of-the-road version would be $254 instead of $299.
I’m going to pay extra for the HDMI and huge hard drive, but neither of those is crucial to enjoying the system.
I want an Elite.
If I’m getting the thing, I might as well get the good one.
Man do I love midgets.
That's the only thing with this deal,
I don’t want the game. Unless it comes with COD or GTA, I’m not interested.
Man do I love midgets.
Basically, Microsoft's offering these bundles at the price the consoles sold at beforehand.
Trying to increase holiday sales by including freebies instead of dropping the price.
But this isn’t Dell’s doing or anything. The Elites at Best Buy right now are the same thing, but at the full price of $399.
I hate buying refurbished electronics.
Just makes me nervous.
Man do I love midgets.
Holy balls you're awesome.
I decided to call one more Radio Shack a few more miles away, and sure enough, they had one left. Clearance price of $349, plus 10% off all clearance items, so it was $315 before taxes. Fucking awesome.
plus it comes with Lego Indiana Jones
and if that’s anything like Lego Star Wars it’s a lot of fun.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I'll check that out.
Would my current setup explain why I often get booted out of the first online game I try to join? (It always works fine on the second try.)
Probably not, unfortunately.
I’m not really sure why that would happen to be honest.
That's why I'm trying to get rid of it.
Hardwiring (if you can) is the way to go. Especially with the Netflix.

How much?
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
40 bucks.
It’s been barely used, too. I got it for Christmas last year, and I used it until about April when I finally hardwired things.

Lemme think about it.

I might undercut him if it hasn't sold yet
My dad wants one for the 360 he just bought for the stepkids. I advised him against it but he can’t run a network drop as of yet because of positioning of things in his old house (waiting on a remodel)

Depends on what happened to your battery.
I had to buy a new one because mine simply got old but if it broke they are pretty good at replacing things.
