The OT, 12/29
With 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.

Seahawks lost, no Favre in the playoffs
horrible horrible day

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.
by BrianL on Dec 29, 2008 10:37 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I hope he retires now
His last play would have been an illegal forward pass.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The consoles cost the same with or without the free games.
by Teej on Dec 29, 2008 3:49 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
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.

Radio Shack has them for 315 if you can find one

Just called a few around my area and nothing.
No Elites, anyway.

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.

So I have (well, had, before it got stolen) my 360 wired into my wireless router, which is hard-wired to the modem. If that makes sense.
Is that bad?
by Teej on Dec 29, 2008 2:23 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Basically, my cable modem only has one Ethernet port, so I plug the Xbox into the wireless router.
by Teej on Dec 29, 2008 2:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Get an ethernet hub and plug it into that port.

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.)
by Teej on Dec 29, 2008 2:38 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Probably not, unfortunately.
I’m not really sure why that would happen to be honest.
by BrianL on Dec 29, 2008 2:39 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That's why I'm trying to get rid of it.
Hardwiring (if you can) is the way to go. Especially with the Netflix.

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.

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.
