Well apparently Derka has gone down for the night, so my words of wisdom will fall on deaf ears. I do want to say, you guys shouldn’t incite him so much. He was obviously in the midst of a meltdown and you guys really exasperated it. It was kinda funny though. But still! Bad Surly!
Why? He’s a sniveling twat. Why do you care so much what one sniveling twat thinks? Is it worth Derkaing up a thread? I came here for some fun and what I got is depressing. Just stop.
Wtf is going on in this thread? I came here to engage in a bit of pre-championship game smack talk and I wade into a full Derka meltdown? Fuuuuuuck dude. You need to chill.
I’ll be surprised if he’s even top 3. It’ll be Drew, Huggy, then Self. Expecting them to actually do their jobs and really dig into it before casting their votes is asking way too much.
I watched it too, and just hearing about Strahan's comments, my thoughts are "WTF did he want from him" as well. Maybe he literally wants a pound of flesh.
You’ve got a point. Take away divisions and you’re the conference champs. That’s how we won one in 2011. I guess knowing the set up in advance is the difference.
Interesting. I read a few Jack Ryan books before they made the movies. I don’t recall picturing an actor while reading it, but though AB was perfect and HF was miscast. Of course, I also think Jim Halpert is pretty good as Jack Ryan. The Jack I remember from the books wasn’t an badass. He was an analyst.
He was perfectly cast in Modern Family as Mitchell/Cam’s smug, pretentious, eco-warrior asshole neighbor. Hmmmm. Smug, pretentious, asshole. Yep, perfect casting.
It was hilariously painful to read you two torture yourselves. Seriously, as a former sufferer, seek help. Better yourself. Life is too short. Enjoy the games for what they are. We’re not going to blow it every game.
More good news. It’s not related to the FBI thing, but at least it shows the NCAA is currently willing to correct their mistakes. http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/appeals-committee-overturns-georgia-tech-men-s-basketball-scholarship-recruiting-penalties
The way I interpreted this is our punishment will be GREATLY reduced once they announce the decision on our appeal. I don't know if that will happen or not, but it's the only way I can prevent myself from having a meltdown and destroying my office. It actually make sense, which scares me since the NCAA rarely makes sense. Hopefully, whatever argument we presented at the appeal made them realized how ridiculously out of whack our punishment was. So rather than sticking with that stance and having to go through 10 more appeals, they've adjusted their scale and we will have no postseason ban and no scholarships lost. Nothing we can do about it for now, so just tell yourself that so we aren't seeing you on the news tonight.
