    2015 Ravens: Achilles 4, Suggs 0, Karma 7

      I'm hopefully not going off on too much of a tangent here and I agree with your overall point, but the "much, much easier division" part is overblown as Stitch said.   Using your 2008-2014 time frame...   The Ravens were 27-15 (64.3%) versus the AFC North. The Ravens were 45-25 (64.3%) versus...

    Malfunctioning Fan - Macbook Pro

    The warranty should make this a moot point, but I can share my story. I had a MacBook Pro, about 4 years old, with a left fan that suddenly developed a very loud grinding noise. I was able to find a replacement left fan for $5 on ebay. Then I followed a guide on YouTube to replace it myself...

    Yosemite Upgrade Warning

    I haven't encountered any problems with it. However, a relative's computer failed to boot normally after the update. It would crash unless he logged in as a guest or used safe mode. The problem turned out to be a conflict with a McAfee security program. Once that program was uninstalled, the...

    Football Manager 14

      Thanks for all the info. What have you found to be a good balance in regards to the above (for a longer campaign)? Which countries do you recommend including?

    Football Manager 14

    When you're setting up a new game, are there good reasons to add more countries to your world? For instance, if you're playing as Liverpool, is just featuring England good enough? Or should you still add some other countries like Germany and Spain? I'm figuring there isn't much benefit unless...

    Football Manager 14

      I don't think so. They have free mirrors below where they ask you to subscribe. That facepack is broken into 22 parts, though. So using the torrent for it would still be much faster and easier. The updates to that pack also ask you to subscribe, but have free mirrors as well. I'm downloading...

    Football Manager 14

      I've avoided this game for a couple years now for that reason, but I don't know how much longer I can resist.   For those who have played the series for a while, how much is missed by going with a soon-to-be old version? Would you recommend waiting and paying more for 2015 in Fall, or getting...

    Football Manager 14

      I'm seeing $25. It'll be available for that price until June 30th. However, it could still get a deeper discount to around $15 or less in the upcoming days. So unless one is really eager to buy the game, it's better to wait and see if Steam features it in the daily deals or flash sales before...

    Liverpool FC 2013-14: Pride Restored

      I felt that was a theme of the film. At one point, Phil Scraton said - "The price of Hillsborough is not reducible to 96 people dying." That line was featured in the trailer too. I thought that was a great exclamation of the pervasive trauma of the tragedy. From the failures of the justice...

    The Evil Empire Revisited: Lakers General thread

    That Dwight is sort of the anti-Kobe as a competitor is what makes this pairing so delicious. While I'm not one for the manufactured dramatic fodder ESPN dwells on, and I thought Howard's happy-go-lucky, childish attitude was in that category for a while, it does seem like it's become an issue...

    The Evil Empire Revisited: Lakers General thread

    Delicious... http://www.nydailyne...ticle-1.1234685 A lot of people doubted that Kobe and Dwight's personalities would mesh from the moment that trade was made, with good reason. I figured it'd be a non-issue as long as they were winning. Kobe seems like the worst teammate to have when his...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    Except he might as well have pulled their name out of a hat for all the shrewd insight he put into it. If someone wants to point out that a bunch of people mocked King for picking the Broncos months ago, and right now the Broncos can be considered the AFC's favorite, that's fine. It's cool that...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    I have a nice headache after reading that. His ability to find such vapid stories to tell is impressive. Exactly. His premise was: if the Bronco defense is decent, then with Peyton having these all-time great weapons on offense they'll make the Super Bowl. King didn't even have the guts to say...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    Yeah, I don't know which is worse: writing that haiku or mocking people who have a problem with it. He didn't budge an inch on twitter in response to complaints about his handling of the Belcher story. I can't tell if he's trolling, tone deaf, believes he's beyond criticism, or some combination...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    Speaking of his award prognostications, Eli Manning is his favorite for SI's Sportsman of the Year. Meh, okay. So, Peter, what makes Eli so special on the field? What has been the secret of his success? What defines his competitive character and capability? Well, shit on me. It's a football game.

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    Good points. I misread what he wrote, because he structured that poorly. I thought he was comparing this Black Friday to past ones. It's even dumber that he can't fathom why traffic is light then.

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    He's so fucking lazy. To him, stats are these weird number things that exist to complement the miniature narratives of his quaint world. It's all so interesting! One thing I think I think is he realizes on some level that his observations and insights are utterly banal, so this is his effort to...

    Why Do I Continue to Read Peter King?

    The whole sentence is rotten: Freak too freakishly? Gronkle? Before I mock too mockingly, loyal Kingites, I'll remind myself that I should expect such puerile prose as this to be written by Kingles (King Pyotr, Kingles, Kingypoo ... all nicknames my chum from the 773 deployed in his profane...
