Going through Arkham Asylum, almost done with it, just final battle and then 40-ish Riddler stuff left. I didn’t remember it being as good as it is, a lot of fun battles, although the TITAN guys/Bane are really repetitive. Also, because of all the hours I put into Arkham City, even hard mode is insanely easy.

Have no clue what to make of this PSU NCAA shit today, could be good, could be bad. Hopefully the NCAA cuts things back a bit, the state drops the suit, and everybody saves a little face.

pardon my ignorance, but it seems to me that those who should’ve intervened, and had the authority to, decided to cover it up.
ban penn state football for ever and strike any mention of it from the history records. only fair.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:46 AM
Corbett is suing the NCAA over the PSU sanctions. This should be amazing.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:48 AM
Ah, I see we’re already discussing this.
Lubrano is right and wrong. They have authority because the NCAA member schools grant it that power. However, from a strictly legal standpoint, its unclear whether the NCAA can do anything. That’s why the suit will come at the NCAA from an antitrust angle.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:48 AM
You mean like Corbett, who was the AG, and didn’t raise charges after 3 years of investigation?
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:49 AM
I can picture TBL licking his lips in anticipation of the inevitable “bad bowl ratings” post.

I thought I heard on the radio last night that the state had issue with the NCAA taking Penn taxpayer funds and distributing it out of state (the 60mil fine) and instead wanted that money to stay in PA
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:51 AM
murder of crows >>>> parliament of owls
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:52 AM
Seems like thats the main legal point, but supposedly takes on the whole set of sanctions. Like I said, reduce the penalties by a year or two, come up with a guarantee on money distribution %’s, and everyone wins.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:53 AM
Oh yeah, this was all going on and he failed to act. Also, I believe Corbett took some cash flow for his campaign from the Second Mile. All good stuff.

I’d rather talk about how awesome the Outback and Cap One bowl were. Those were two great games to watch. The ending of the Outback was fantastic.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:55 AM
The NCAA will essentially stall this lawsuit for years, taking any reduction of penalties out of the equation. So the football team will still end up screwed while the University – the organization that should be paying for this, in a fiscal and moral sense – will end up getting a lot of their fine money back. Which sucks all the way around.

January 2nd, 2013 at 8:58 AM
It should also be mentioned that Corbett is a self-serving scumbag who almost certainly knew about Sandusky’s actions and did nothing while serving as AG. His office had Dusky on tape admitting to child molestation and didn’t do a goddamn thing about it. Bad man, bad governor.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:58 AM
This is the crux of the Penn State lawsuit by the State of PA as I understand it.
You really think Gov. Corbett gives a fuck about what happens to the quality of the Penn State football program?
He doesn’t want that fat cash the University got fined leaving the state.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:58 AM

January 2nd, 2013 at 8:59 AM
They really were, had one on TV and the other on the tablet. Defenses were non-existent. And Hoke is a fraud.

taylor lewan vs. clowney yesterday was pretty cool. lewan’s a damn good tackle.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:01 AM
Well, defenses were existent in the Outback. There wasn’t a single one in the Cap One. Shit was embarrassing. This year’s UGA defense will go down in the school’s history as the most underachieving defense of all time. 9 guys will most likely get drafted and they couldn’t defend my office running a trap play. Just terrible.

January 2nd, 2013 at 9:12 AM
ESPN was showing some Twitter thing where Dungy said if he were running the Chiefs, he’d take Murray first overall. Is the draft REALLY that bad this year? Even in the 2010 draft where 10 million quarterbacks went in the first 2 rounds, he probably wouldn’t have gone until after Dalton/Kaepernick.

I suppose this year’s QB class is bad enough that some team will talk themselves into taking him in the first round setting up a chain of events that will be chronicled in a future Bill Barnwell column about why the GM needs to go
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:14 AM
The QB draft is bad this year and next year. Geno Smith is most likely the top QB this year. I couldn’t tell you who it would be next year. Some dumbass will take Logan Thomas way too high I’m sure, whenever he comes out.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:14 AM

I have. Really enjoyed that one, too. Solid A-
He is, but that has nothing to do with why I don’t like him. He was bought and paid for by fracking companies and they are reaping the rewards. PA is the only state in the country that doesn’t tax natural gas drilling. At the same time, he slashed education funding and laid off thousands of teachers because “the state couldn’t afford it.”
I’ve voted for Republicans before and will do so again. Probably not at the national or governorship levels, however.

January 2nd, 2013 at 9:22 AM
I’d take Murray over Boyd. If Murray is taken in the 2nd round he’s going to be great. The first round pressure to play immediately will not bode well for him though. I just hope he stays and UGA puts up 40 on everyone next year. Even though Mason is supposedly very good (current backup) I will always take a known quantity over the unknown.

Lewan held him in check the whole game. Aftere getting worked by OSU’s freshman, he’s proabably now a solid top 15, maybe top 10 depending on needs.
Clowney’s hit (an oh what a hit it was) came on a missed block by the TE. Why a TE would step forward instead of laterally when trying to block Clowney, I don’t know. Hell, dive laterally at his knees.

i feel like the best way to block clowney is to launch yourself horizontally at him. sure, it won’t be effective, but he’ll have to wait to step over you, so that might be more than you’d get if you tried to block him for real.

This is 40 was very disappointing to me. I love Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann isn’t bad. I think she’s gotten hotter as she’s gotten older. That said the movie wasn’t that funny and even Megan Fox in a bikini can’t save it. I guess I expected the movie to be more about people not wanting to accept their age rather than a movie about a miserable married couple.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:30 AM
He’s also 2-11 against top 25 teams during his college career. That stat matters (to me, anyway) because QBs at big-time programs almost always have more talent than their opponents. How do you perform those two or three times a year when the scales are balanced?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:30 AM
You know a funny stat I heard….Aaron Rodgers has never won a playoff game at Lambeau. The Vikings have. Also, AP has gained 20% of his yards against GB this year….I’m taking Vikings and that 8.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:31 AM
I’m a MASSIVE Vikings fan this week. Not only would it get Rodgers out (he will shred Atlanta) but it would mean Atlanta gets Ponder the next week and they would avoid Seattle, who scares the shit out of me.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:31 AM
meh…it was anonymous. trent richardson and brandon weeden both took shots at the coaching of pat shurmur…yet, for some reason, shurmur still had a few defenders
Thing is that was with the likely acceptance that Shurmur would be gone at season’s end. Easy to speak out then. There’s no guarantee that Spagnuolo wouldn’t come back next year. So this is a move to prevent that.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:32 AM
He’s good to blame for some of those games for sure, but his defense screwed him over in a good 5-6 of those losses. That’s just the truth of the matter.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:32 AM
No, if Eli and Roethlisberger (or Brett Favre for the older crowd) have taught us anything it’s that if you’ve already won in your career you’re immune from being part of your team’s problems

Boyd completed nearly 70 % (67.2) of his passes this year, with a 9.12 YPA, and a 36:13 TD:INT ratio. He also ran for 10 more TDs. Why so much Tajh hate?

I’d bet the Vikes to cover. I still don’t think they win outright. That team got healthy at just the right time
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:34 AM
to be fair, they lost those games close and talent was usually even at best and UGA at a disadvantage in most. was murray the QB for the colorado loss?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:34 AM

January 2nd, 2013 at 9:34 AM

January 2nd, 2013 at 9:34 AM
Well in fairness he’s only had 1 playoff game at home.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:35 AM
He’s the definition of a system QB. I know people hate that term, but it fits perfectly with Chad Morris offenses.

If Winfield is out, it could be a blowout. AJ Jefferson is not good.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Seeing Clinton and PFunk in Columbus, oh yeah.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Yes…yes he was. That was the game that AJ dominated for the first half, tweaked his hammy and didn’t play at all in the 4th and Caleb King fumbled with UGA in position to win the game. God I hate Caleb King.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 AM
I can’t remember a movie I wanted to see turning out so poorly in a really long time. The pacing was awful, building to nothing. Entire characters were nothing more than pointless, rambling distractions. Five minute conversations went nowhere. The clumsy political allegory felt both forced and obvious.
It looked great — Dominek still has a fantastic eye — but holy shit was the movie a mess.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 AM
That’s awesome. The red picture? That accounts for a full 94% of Spencer’s dreams.

My wife and I went to see Silver Linings Playbook. Was pretty good. Then my wife got very sick at about the 1:15 point and we had to leave. No time to ask for a voucher. Have no idea how it ends. It could be terrible for all I know (most of movie was good so far) but not seeing the end is brutal.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:38 AM
Take the Bama game for example. If UGA “holds” Bama to say, 280 yards rushing in stead of 350, they probably win the game. If the kicker makes his FG in the first half they win the game on a chip shot FG with allowing 350 on the ground. Putting those losses on the QB are ridiculous. For example, the same week Sean Glennon threw for 450+ yards and 5 TDs in a loss, Matt Ryan threw 5 picks in a game against Arizona and won.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:38 AM
People will come up with something. Rodgers can’t deal with expectations, Rodgers is a front-runner, Rodgers can’t handle adversity. Meanwhile, Ponder will go 11 for 23 for 105 yards and just win a football game on the football field in the National Football League. Clutch.

This right here is the First Immutable Law of NFL QB Evaluation.
Second Immutable Law of NFL QB Evaluation: If you have won a Super Bowl, you are automatically an elite QB. Any discussion of additional factors (luck, defense, special teams, strength of opponent) is expressly forbidden.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:40 AM
It’s the greatest for people watching. When the shows were held at the Newport on High St, it was always my favorite event. Pimp clothes, pimp cars, and dudes selling pimp watches out of their jackets on the sidewalk.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:41 AM
There’s something to this, people still talk of Mike Vick’s playoff win at Lambeau as if he had generated 400 total yards of offense instead of being the beneficiary of five turnovers and a blocked punt fallen on for a TD
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:41 AM
This is 40 was very disappointing to me.
i’m not shocked by much on here, but the number of you who actually spent money to go see this movie blows me away. what on earth did you think a man would like about it?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:41 AM
Luckily we were give $90 in movie giftcards by various people for Christmas, so either I’ll see every movie alone or she’ll have to suck it up and go with me.
You should call of sick and see 4 movies in one day. In about 1 month when all the Oscar favorites are in nationwide release you should do it.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:42 AM
My girlfriend hated it more than I did. There’s nothing gender based about the hatred of that movie, it’s just a wretched movie.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:43 AM
You call this the Joe Flacco disease. Going 4-10 with 33 yards passing yards in a playoff victory will make analysts believe he could walk on water afterwards
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:45 AM
I just want the Falcons to win next weekend so Ryan can get that issue off of his back. Of course not having a defense that can stop the run doesn’t bode well.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:45 AM
Wish those games could be spread out. Why do we need Gator, Outback and Cap One at same time?
So I should draft Gurley early in my college fantasy league?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:46 AM
The clumsy political allegory felt both forced and obvious.
agree
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:46 AM
Or, if Murray spikes the ball they probably win. Or if he doesn’t throw that INT.
I agree that the defense is a problem and that the 2-11 record is misleading. But that defense also gave Murray one of those two top-25 wins this year (Florida).
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:47 AM
Related, I thought Samantha Ponder was looking mighty good yesterday.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:48 AM
It’s funny to hear the national media types talk about Ponder like he’s got it all figured it out. The 3rd and 11 was a fantastic bit of recognition, but other than that he’s the same guy that went 12 for 25 for 119 yards and 2 picks at Lambeau a few weeks ago.

Atlanta is this decade’s Philadelphia. They’ll fall a couple more times in agonizing fashion before getting over the hump. Only to falter again.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:49 AM
I hate this line of thinking so much. They would have called the same play. The problem wasn’t the play or not spiking it. The problem was the Bama dude tipped the pass in just the perfect way that it was redirected right to a falling UGA receiver.
They bailed him out in the first half, but he played great in the second against a sick defense. At one point in the second half they called 13 straight passing plays.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:50 AM
awesome quote i never heard before regarding new years’ resolutions…
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:50 AM
Oh god yes. Dude is going to blow the fuck up as long as he stays healthy.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:51 AM
Works both ways. Because Flacco struggled during his first couple years in the playoffs and received praise for winning anyway, a massive overcorrection narrative went into place that he now sucks even though that team would be awful without him. Flacco deserved to play for a Super Bowl last year and his teammates completely screwed him over.
Lazy analysis either way should be unacceptable.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:52 AM
dude, flacco fucking sucks man. it’s plain as fucking day unless he’s playing the browns, where he looks unbeatable.

holy shit was it really THAT bad???? I mean, I was never going to call Flacco “elite,” but holy shit is that stat line AWFUL.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:58 AM
That was the game that started with Ray Rice 80 yards off left tackle, right?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:59 AM
To be fair I think they were up 21-0 roughly 30 seconds into that game…Flacco shouldn’t have been asked to throw it even that many times
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:59 AM
i dont even think it was that complex…i remember it as being straight up the middle and there being a moses-parts-the-seas-like hole.
January 2nd, 2013 at 10:01 AM
It’s funny to hear the national media types talk about Ponder like he’s got it all figured it out.
The same national media that defends coaches after they’ve been fired or players who are shitty but they act like they still have “potential to be a good to great quarterback in the National Football League.” It’s all because they don’t want to burn bridges and want to get choice interviews.
January 2nd, 2013 at 10:02 AM
I found myself laughing a lot at this movie. Of course I am close to 40 and had a few drinks prior.
January 2nd, 2013 at 10:02 AM
Yeah, and Brady threw a bunch of picks in the 1st half. I actually enjoyed the result of that game since I hated NE more at the time. That has changed greatly over the past few years.

i know.

Bill Cowher was a ST coach. I dont think that’s a bad way to do it. You’re getting a guy who wants to be head coach and probably going to work to get two really good coordinators. I wouldnt be upset at all if the Browns were looking at a coach because he’s a ST coach. No difference than hiring a positional coach.
January 2nd, 2013 at 10:30 AM
Husker, you surprised that Mike Smith had the 1st team in the whole game? I took TB +3.5 thinking the 1st team ATL would be out by the 1st/2nd Qtr. Didn’t they get 3 players dinged up? Is Abrams going to be out?
