The Roundup: How the Eagles Navigated the Salary Cap, a Brainy 4-Time Lottery Winner & the Redskins Can’t Draft
Ashley Greene … singer Gavin DeGraw got jacked up by thugs on the Lower East Side at 4 am … “Minister of Music tazes pastor, another woman stabbed during fight at church ” … this will be the last season of Desperate Housewives … here’s a photo of a naked man running on the 405 Monday … if keg tapping is in the headline, it’s probably worth a read … celebrities love Crystal Meth … crazy story: “Body of diver missing for 17 years found in Lake Tahoe” … this is terribly sad … George Clooney is dating Stacy Keibler … a timely Tumblr, considering the markets … the rioting in England continues … “Leaked Copy of ‘Super 8′ Linked to Howard Stern Show Screener” …

August 9th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
The Redskins can’t draft for shit, and nobody they drafted before 2004 is currently in the NFL.
it’s hard to say they can’t draft for shit when they never have any mid round draft picks. none of their 1st rounders are busts – they’ve had some disappointments, sure – from 2004 ’til now.
i’m not here to defend Vinny’s shitty picks, nor his inability to not trade away picks every year, but to say they can’t draft for shit is a bit much.

You could knock me over with a feather right now
Why? The explanations given from coaches in the link are weak…these guys are just control freaks, the Packers somehow managed to overcome half the team being on Twitter to win the Super Bowl last season, I think college kids can be also be trusted
August 9th, 2011 at 9:05 AM
Most can, but then you have the Marvin Austins of the world.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
it’s hard to defend that when those picks were traded for guys like mark brunell, tj duckett and jason taylor.
Brunell they needed at the time, Duckett and Taylor were just awful decisions.
they gave up a 2nd and/or 3rd for Duckett and he maybe had 4 carries for the Skins. just AWFUL…
August 9th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
so the saints have shaun rogers, aubrayo franklin and sedrick ellis at DT huh…that’s pretty fucking beastly. they’re flying under the radar this offseason with the eagles and packers and shit, but damn the saints are fucking LOADED.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Speaking of Marvin, has there been any update with that crazy Marvin Harrison gun story from a few years ago?
August 9th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
I agree with Rovell on this. No use sticking your head in the sand with social media. Might as well bring someone in to teach them how to use it since these coaches are supposed to be “educators” and all.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
that’s funny, because I heard one of the dolt’s on the radio this morning telling me how they weren’t making the playoffs.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
but damn the saints are fucking LOADED
i picked them to win the SB this year. mainly b/c they got good odds and i’m a Bammer homer rooting for Ingram to be the next Walter Payton.

Nope, a horrible looking bronze bust of him just arrived

Nope. Got to watch Top Gear and the latest James May/Oz Clarke drinking program. I’m guessing I had the better watching.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:22 AM

Nope. We watched Breaking Bad Season 3 (The Fly Episode)
August 9th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
I saw 5 minutes of this before leaving for dinner. The one that was dressed like a carrot with the blonde hair looked like a porn star and I can’t think of what her name is. It looked like a truly dreadful program that would have my brain leaking out my ear if I had given it more than the 5 minutes that I did prior to leaving.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:24 AM
No, we watched the “Superheroes” thing on HBO. One of my wife’s friends from childhood is engaged to one of those ‘heroes’ so we watched. Honestly, some of those guys have mental illnesses.

August 9th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
The Saints are going to be scary good. Hot damn that Week 1 game is going to be awesome. If both teams aren’t sloppy as hell due to extended time off.
Seriously, I have a feeling we’re going to get a “what happened to parity?” post from Lisk by mid-November once the Packers and Saints are 10-1, and the Eagles, Pats, Ravens and Steelers are all 9-2. (While the Bengals, Browns, Bills, Raiders, Panthers and Seahawks struggle to win 4 games all year.)

Question for the comments, I know some of you responded on Twitter last night:
If you could have one arcade style game, like the whole giant box and everything, in your basement/rec room, what would it be? I went with the side scrolling Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one. Runners-Up included Cruisin’ USA, X-Men and The Simpsons.

i dunno about that…i was arguing with a bengals fan buddy about how shitty they’d be and we looked up the schedules. both the browns and bengals skeds are preposterously light.

August 9th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
I doubt it. With the rate of injuries we’re already seeing in training camp, I think you’ll see plenty of parity. Especially as far as the Eagles are concerned seeing as they’re one injury away from Vince Young being under center… well, you know what I mean seeing as he doesn’t know how to take a center-QB exchange still.

August 9th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
I already said Terminator 2. Street Fighter 2 is another option. I think X-Men will still win. I don’t want to think about how many quarters I dumped into that game. BTW – I was borderline ustoppable using Colossus.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
@Ill- I am a big Redskins fan but I think that the correct headline should be that the Redskins have not drafted for shit. Trading away picks for players (Coles was the worst)and wasting picks on WR’s (Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly). Vinny and Dan have had no clear long term planning.
On another note @Ill it is very nice to see Torian Graham decommit from NC State. UMD will be involved and just as importantly it fucks Debbie over in her quest to rebuild State.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
TMNT is a solid choice as is Simpsons. I would go with Off Road.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
I would probably go with the Simpsons since you can get the X-Men one on PSN/Xbox Live. Loved the Simpsons game, swear you had to put in at least $20 to beat that damn game.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
The injuries and sloppy play are exactly why I think there won’t be parity. Talent will win out, and the teams I mentioned have more talent than anyone.

My favorite was when they’d have backwards skate and just about every kid would leave the floor except a group of boys who thought it was funny to fall down all the time and the 6 people who were actually good roller skaters.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
I never played Terminator 2 in the arcade. I may have to look that one up. The only first person shooters I remember were Operation Wolf, Virtua Cop and Police Trainer.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
that was a pretty sick game.
i’d go for time crisis.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
Golden Tee with the 42 inch screen would be sick as well.

shit, I didn’t even think of Golden Tee, that would be the shit. there is a bass fishing toller-ball game that is fun as hell too, but it probably isn’t available (or enjoyable to anyone) outside Arkansas.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:42 AM
I tried to get my 5 YO to play some skee ball last week. He wasn’t having it at all.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:42 AM
I want to make fun of this…..but I played it. A lot.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:43 AM
Oh my god I would so have a skee ball machine over any arcade game. There was a bar at my school that would give away beer if you won a certain amount of tickets.

Disown him

There’s a place in Chicago opening up down by Navy Pier and the movie theater AMC River East that is going to be a bar… WITH SKEEBALL IN IT. I am very excited about this development as I can think of few things better than going out with your buddies, drinking and playing some skeeball.
This was the arcade I always went to as a kid. It has a laser tag arena, big arcade area and a little spot for birthdays with like a stage show.

You have to love how when TMNT got huge, the most random stupid shows/games started popping up. Battletoads, Biker Mice From Mars, Swat Kats… its like they randomly drew occupations for random animals.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Hardest game ever made. Couldn’t get past the damn jet bikes.
Skeeball > Air Hockey

Ray’s is amazing. Great steak and about half of what it costs to go to Morton’s.
Have a good one Ill.

May Dan Snyder step in front of the Orange Line Foggy Bottom Metro for you today.
and may Peter Angelos be holding his hand.
/best birthday ever?
August 9th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Agreed on this. But the Bears always play Green Bay tough, have no reason to think that won’t change this season.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
I love Golden Tee!
August 9th, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Roberto Garza has been announced as the starting center and [TBL golf voice] some guy named Lance Lewis is our right guard. Clay Matthews is going to be in Jay Cutler’s kitchen all game.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
SC/SG
Any of you guys ever heard of Wright’s Barnyard? That’s where we used to go. Mini golf, gokarts, arcade…..it was the shit for a 8 year old me. I could never get enough tickets to win that Andre Dawson framed picture though.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
These are different games….not sure if you can compare them.
I’d go with:
air hockey > dome hockey
and:
skee ball > pop-a-shot
August 9th, 2011 at 9:47 AM
Aerosmith’s Revolution X was a great arcade game. You shoot CD missiles!!!
August 9th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
Southeast suburb… Lansing I want to say. I remember going past there once after a hockey game. We used to play club hockey against Lansing when I was like 12.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Sounds about right. Wonder if it’s still there…..
August 9th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Jerome Harrison and Mike Bell? Look out NFL.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
For the Dog lovers out there…
August 9th, 2011 at 9:51 AM
I go to Novelty Golf and the Bunny Hutch.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:53 AM
sounds like a great idea until about 1:30 when shit starts getting unruly.

why is Lumburgh officiating the wedding?
August 9th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
I love dogs as much as anyone….but Jesus fucking Christ
August 9th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
My wife started doing this after watching the show. She’s saving us a lot of money and we have a good little stockpile going.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
The parlor game that I never could even get to the point of being average at. Perhaps it is the root of my distaste for soccer. I suck at that game.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
I love dogs as much as anyone….but Jesus fucking Christ
yep. sigh.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:55 AM
wilhelm gets it.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
I can just imagine if Seagal re-created the Out for Justice scene with a skeeball instead of a cue ball.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
The game’s bigoted against the left-handed man trying to maintain control in the offensive zone
August 9th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
SC – tip #1 for getting better at foosball is NEVER EVER spin the bars.
August 9th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
I will crush any of you fools in air hockey though. Pool I’m average at. Pretty decent ping pong player. Suck at foosball. I’m all over darts until I have to hit the bullseye 3 times in Cricket. I played a dart game with these two girls on Friday night. I think it took us 33 turns to complete a game of cricket because I couldn’t hit the damn bullseye.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
/nods
IMO, there’s no other dart game but Cricket. GTFO with that 301 shit too.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I was under the impression that this is a standard rule in foosball. Spinning is for the weak minded and poorly coordinated. Although I fit both of those descriptions, I didn’t break the rule.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:00 AM

That could very easily double as innuendo.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
no way, man. I’m a lefty and that’s perfect for good defense. you just need a decent wrist flick with the right hand on offense, but the fingertip touch on defense with the left hand is a must.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
it usually is a rule, but I never enforce it because if my opponent is doing it, he/she sucks.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Taking one of them out on Thursday. Hopefully it only takes a couple turns this time.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
/giggles
August 9th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Never can get much force on it, I usually go cross-armed there with the right on the midfield…turns into quite the spectacle watching me go back-and-forth
August 9th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
Team Boobs?
August 9th, 2011 at 10:05 AM
I know you’ve all been talking about it since this comment way back in the 50s, but, to me, this episode is what won both of them their Emmys. Breaking Bad “went there” with this type of storytelling, and I was completely engulfed.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
Who the fuck is Gavin DeGraw?
August 9th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
301 and 501 can be fun. Especially when you are playing with someone shitty like SC
August 9th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Team I finally found one not from the Midwest and she’s a California girl
August 9th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
IIIIIIIIIII dont wanna be anything other than what ive been tryin to be late-layyyyy
August 9th, 2011 at 10:07 AM

August 9th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
i’m a fan of passing the ball left to right on the defense before sending it up to the offense. slows me down a bit, keeps me from firing away and can set up some space if the opponent commits to a move too soon.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Still have no idea who he is. Sounds like he was nearly murked.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
foosball im not great at but I am the air hockey QUEEN
August 9th, 2011 at 10:12 AM
I’d challenge you to a best of 3 in air hockey, nudie picture photo hunt and skeeball.
August 9th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Need more BB posts and less Jersey Shore
August 9th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I would go with Saturday Night Slam Masters. It was an arcade wrestling game, where the characters had these crazy ass over-the-top moves. And I’m talking about getting the double machine, where you could have four people playing at once.
