Jeez, when was the last time a "your team sucks" article turned out to be too optimistic?

If you think the Cubs are going to go under because they have to provide health insurance for a few dozen groundskeepers, you're far enough off the deep end to run for Congress.

Wait, hang on, there's multiplayer in The Last Of Us? Why?

It's not like they're supposed to be wearing identification on their clothes when they're on duty or anything, goodness no.

Oh man, I can't wait to load up my copy of the beta. Hell, I might play Trial of Iron, since I'm going to avoid combat whenever possible anyway (Not because I particularly like pacifist challenges, more because the Baldur's Gate combat system is so freaking bad. I backed this game 100% because Obsidian tells good…

And that's actually *toned down* from other games in the series, where characters who died were gone forever in any mode - "easy" just made the battles easier to win, rather than changing the consequences when you lost.

Falling through the bottom line is still "off the charts," yes.

Possibly there wasn't much of a whimper because the Times has been a punchline for years? They're a print version of Fox News, but without the audience. Sun Myung Moon, for fuck's sake.

Just make MDK3 already.

How much are they going to fine the ref for believing it?

It's definitely not endemic; I went to a small school that still did reasonably well with most sports (our football team sucked, but basketball won some tourney games) and the athletes being full-time students was a point of pride for the college. One of the top basketball starters got an engineering degree, another…

Underage drinking is not exactly a shock, but when the authorities get wind of a school-sponsored group that's *requiring* it, they're pretty much bound to take action.

Honest question: why are we still using a sorta-pseudonym for this person whose actual face and voice have been attached to every story about this topic for nearly a month?

I have, yes. I've watched Manziel play, and I've also watched running QBs who were better than Manziel in college get utterly destroyed by the NFL. With vanishingly few exceptions this shit doesn't work in the pros, and for Manziel in particular – tiny, checkdown-averse Manziel — to beat the odds while playing on the…
