THey're not doing take backs, just not having those going forward.

That is correct.

Those are for guild achieves (and it's 20/25, 80 percent). He could pug every one of those (just randomly group with a good guild/group to get credit), but it seems his guild is very good too.

I have about 75 percent of what he has (granted this would tend to leave the hardest achievements) and I've probably played 2-3 hours on average a day for something like 1.5-2 years. Not nearly all of that was dedicated to achievements either.

I guess I don't understand how Magic players made the list based off that terrible article. Awful bloggers, maybe.

If that was his point, perhaps he should have said that instead of bemoaning that he would have to pay price x for a last gen game, as if price for last gen was his issue.

He gets paid out either way. I doubt he cares about the one dollar, and this is a person who he knows he can beat (because he chose not to). I'd rather play someone I know I can beat than someone I have never played.

I keep saying the same thing because you brought nothing new to the conversation. Sorry you're using words wrong, have a great day :)

Sounds like Troy Aikman was writing this article. Man he was bad at math.

Nope, still taunting, not a thug. Thug implies violence, and outside his job where he is paid to hit people, he doesn't commit violence. Him saying he is good is not him being violent. Feel free to use a different word.

Taunting does not a thug make, regardless of what initiated it.

Whether it's ok or not, it doesn't make someone a thug. Taunting is a part of the NFL (the guy who Sherman taunted did the same to the opposing QB in the previous game. Is he a thug as well?)

Just because some games use the mechanic of random encounters as you describe doesn't mean it's necessary for all to do so. In this case, if players want to have a game which challenges them in that way, they can by all means. Your inner designer can rest easy. And for those of us who detest that sort of playstyle,…

No, he didn't. He didn't commit violence. Miming that someone choked - not that he would choke them, but that they failed to preform in a critical situation - is not violence. Or are we just defining thug differently for different people?

There's also video on the NFL's site, stuff like Sherman asking James how he is and passing on his well wishes, him hugging Erin Andrews before their interview, etc. There's been a very one-sided portrayal of this whole interview situation, so it's nice to see some more balanced footage.

Literally over? No. But despite Harbaugh's sad attempts to stretch it out, all that happened was repeated kneel-downs. Unless you're arguing that SF would somehow charge the victory formation and force a turnover, the game was essentially over.

He was average, and his replacement performed worse. Also, their savings was 1.2 million, around the 1 percent marker of their entire salary paid, which fell under the cap.

If price were a factor I would agree - but the Vikings were under cap. They received no improvement at position but used a pick to get this guy. I might be mistaken but I think he's the only punter picked in the draft, and he likely would have been available afterwords. I'm not saying that him being an outspoken…

That bar wasn't set very high.

A cost cutting move on a team that came in under the cap?
