Saturday Six Pack: Road Test Edition 12/3/11

Better stock up on these. I have a feeling this game will be difficult. :(

Here we are, ladies and gents: a tough road test down in Houston awaits us on Sunday. Let's not mince words. Let's do this!

AJC: Three quick reads for you all from the ever-reliable AJC. First El Sid is turning some heads! Good for him, he deserves the praise. He's been stout this year. Next, the Falcons D is top 10! Well, it's top 10 by poor man's rankings. It may or may not be top 10 by Super Secret Math Technique Defense Rating Statistic:

if team=ATL then

dRank=32 else if

team!=ATL then

dRank<32

end if

There. I've figured it out.

Lastly, a Q&A with D.Franks! Hooray D.Franks!

Kotaku: I post this here so that everyone will read it. As it stands, Roddy White has a chance to be on the new NFL Blitz game's cover! Everyone watch the video game awards next weekend and vote for Roddy. This does not = Madden Curse. Blitz is actually a fun game. Har har har!

...and upon further review, the NFL has told EA Sports to take late hits out of the game because it goes against what the NFL stands for, even though those were the things that made NFL Blitz. Seriously, leg dropping someone after the play was so fun.

...because we clearly can't tell the difference between a video game and reality. Can anyone here not tell the difference between NFL Blitz and real football? Are there really that many dumb people in this country that can't tell the difference?

I'm mad. I hate America. (Not really. Well, kinda.)

Star-divide

myFox Houston: Some people in Houston are reporting that you need to get to the game early due to extra security screening (because people like Kashberry are going to the game.) I kid, I kid. Part of the NFL's effort to increase security around the league. Worth checking out if you plan on going to any games this year.

USA Today: A little happy message from the USA Today about the Falcons' continued upward trend in spite of playing possum with our hearts, or something silly. I was amused at the Tony G quote in there. Check it out!

Fox Sports: John Lynch writes that we need to stop the run! Yeah, that's true. It is cool to read it from his perspective as a former player, though. I've always liked that. I'm sure a lot of other people like that, which is going to make getting into the football industry hard. I have one year of football experience. :'(

Random Funny: Dumb People. Hooray!

Video games are a very bad influence.

Like this one time in college I ate a “Power Pellet”…30 minutes later I thought I was chasing blue ghosts all over campus. I just ran around yelling “WAKA WAKA WAKA!! BLOOOP!!!” Luckily my friends found me before security.

On second thought…I guess that makes video games totally awesome.

Seriously funny dude...

how much more amok can pc run? I mean these are obviously caricatures of the players (unless all of them are actually 7’, 380 lb, in spite of all published reports). As implied by our esteemed columnist, if there are no late hits in Blitz, what’s the friggin point??

i forgot to touch upon that

my teen daughter is a whore, the real house whores of some city, kim kardashes, jersey shores… Those are far and away worse than video games. Dumbs everyone who watches them down while training young and old alike that its cool to be a bitch or asshole wannabe player. On top of that fb and twitter are problems, thiugh nobody will agree cauwe everyone uses them. Kids are more worried about tjeir social status than ever. Tests scores getlower and lower. The media is full of.crap… Sad sad sad…

On top of it all, the gay commish is ruining the sport of football with his pussified rules.

One day....

Due to the minimal amount of knowledge i had to file it under that category. It was closer than u kicking ur old lady out. We now know that ur old lady is in fact not there and thus unkickoutable. Furthermore, when she is there, it will be time to play catch up. I hope when that day comes u havent partied too hard

One day....

damn phome

You think that was all i was going to write? Think again.

At the airport in denver right now… Its snowing… So making my way to houston to remind the league once again why even more security is needed lol. Ill play nice out there. Im still trying to get a date. Some hottie emailed me but i think shes a hooker cause shes too hot. I am a bargain shopper, and i def dont pay for what is free.

Anywyas, hang in there. Tr not to be frustrated with the world. Makes me more sad than mad… But then sadness leads to anger, and anger leads to star wars

One day....

Wait a minute. Quick thought...

The NFL wants late hits removed from the game. However, late hits actually exist in the actual games. All they do is get a flag and maybe a fine. Most times it is a borderline call that isn’t even called in college.

Seems to me that if they wanted late hits really removed from the real life game, they’d immediately eject any player guilty of a late hit. Um…forget I said that.

Mercenary.

Paid for by your tax dollars to secure resources that you’ll never see. Under the veil of Non-Government Organizations, National Endowment for Democracy, Freedom House, and George Soro’s Open Society all discretely fund disruption in countries like Myanmar, Tibet, Ukraine, Sudan, etc. to create instability and inability for locals to nationalize real money like oil, tin, rubber, gold, cheap labor, etc. to gain a firmer grasp on world wide control. “We” never gave f*ck about Sudan until China discovered oil first. “We” never gave a f*ck about monks in Myanmar until China planned to build a pipeline across it to the Bay of Bengal weakening our stranglehold on the Straights of Malacca. If “we” gave a sh*t about human rights, why would we support Laurent Nkunda’s slaughter of millions in the Congo civil war?! Yes, millions. Our strategic positioning of BMD sites in Poland & Czech Republic has sparked a new Cold War admittedly by Putin, and in response to NATO, “we” have forced Russia and China into an alliance (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) which has never happened throughout history. This week, Major General Zhang Zhaozhong of the Chinese National Defense University said, “China will not hesitate to protect Iran even if with a third World War, and that not hesitating to fight a third World War would be entirely for domestic political needs.”

HOWEVER, the point is that this is not America. These are the whims of the elites who do not have your interest at heart, and never have, no matter what you think. HOWEVER, they do not out number the people. What frightens them more than anything is an informed, united public. I’m not a misdirected OWS protester, nor am I promoting any kind of forced equality. What I’m saying is that is that America is dead. How do you revive it? You can start by reading the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Then tell your friends what you’ve learned. Before it’s too late.

yup

it’s a screwed up world and our gummint ignoring our own laws isn’t helping any.
