  1. I can't wait for another season of not giving half a shit about the WNBA no matter how much anyone tells me I should. And I do like plenty of women's sports. Several are just as enjoyable as the men: volleyball, soccer, tennis, gymnastics, etc. But everybody trying to act like the WNBA deserves as much coverage as the NBA? Y'all need to quit it. Shaq punching RG3 would be the best thing that league has ever accomplished by a lot.
  2. I guess I'm in the minority, because I'm enjoying it so far. The gameplay seems much smoother, and the defense is way better than last year's. I've allowed 7, 17, and 10 against middling teams (TCU, UCLA, and Arky), which seems pretty reasonable. I'm able to break up passes again, and guys in a zone don't just stand there until someone runs all the way up to them. Now, those three games are all Play Now against the AI. I really hope the note above about Dynasty mode being all fucked up by year 3 gets fixed, or that will kill my interest in this game pretty quickly. But so far, yeah, the base gameplay seems significantly improved.
  3. Wait until Grok mentally manipulates Trump into giving him the nuclear codes...
  4. TOO SOON
  5. Are they, though? I mean, that's actually great to hear. But the handful of MAGA idiots in my life are all on Facebook talking about a witch hunt again.
  6. I can't claim to care nearly as much about CWC as I do about the EPL and CL. But if this is a harbinger of things to come, I'm in.
  7. Is there anything worse than Adolis Garcia driving in Marcus Semien?
  8. Exit velocity of about 60 right there. Winning run aboard.
  9. Man, fuck the Rangers. Let that aggy roller coaster of hope climb up a bit, now walk this thing off.
  10. The guy with a 2.38 ERA and 1 blown save at midseason? I mean, I don't think we should cut him for this.
  11. LOL at not sending him there. Thanks?
  12. Okay, so my only interest in this would be Dynasty Mode. I enjoyed last year's game for a couple of months, but after 3 seasons I gave up on it. Defense was too frustrating and the scripted comebacks by the AI were just too predictable. I could take a huge halftime lead, and even a mediocre team would rally to put up 250 and 24 points in the second half, and it's not as if I switched to a prevent D like a Manny Diaz moran. Defense in general felt kinda helpless last year. I used to be good at mixing up blitzes and coverages, user picks, etc, and I felt like all of that was gone. You had to beat everybody 45-31. And I get that college football is more offensive now, but still. I did enjoy the game, but once the newness wears off and the games feel that scripted, what's the point? So... With all of that said... Should I pick the new one up? Is it better enough?
  13. Trump does not know what that means.
  14. So, to sum up, the richest state in the Union cannot afford to make sure people don't die in flash floods (which have been known to occur pretty much every summer), cannot afford to make sure people don't die in freezing conditions (which have been known to occur pretty much every winter), and cannot afford to place in the top half of state education rankings. But we can afford gazillions of dollars to block Central Americans from coming here to paint our houses and bus our tables. And we can give gazillions of dollars in tax breaks to crypto bros. What a fucking embarrassment this place is.
  15. Yeah, but laughing at him and disliking him aren't mutually exclusive. He seems like a piece-of-shit-douche-rocket-dumbass-loser-turd, and I hope he sees this.
  16. Fuck Johnny Manziel.
  17. After several more viewings, my new favorite part is at 1:05 when his shoulders slump as he realizes that it's over and he's going to be a laughingstock forever.
  18. Legit LOL at, "Off to a good start, buddy!" as homeboy is pulling himself out of the lake. God damn, I love the internet.
  19. So, when the singularity occurs, the AI whose intelligence surpasses ours will be a racist Nazi built by an insane, drug-addicted South African. And that AI will immediately have an army of at least 10 million completely mind-controlled Americans who already have their own assault rifles and other tactical gear. Cool. This timeline is so, so cool.
  20. Well, I prayed for him to audibly shit himself while he was on camera and that didn't happen. So, there's a small chance that prayer may not be reliable.
