In addition to what the others have said...

Yeah, I'd agree that it's a flawed stat for detail, but the odds of the team having nothing but defensive penalties and next to no offense ones is highly unlikely (which it would have to be for the time to be the most penalized team on defense). PI produces the most yards on penalties. Rex Grossman made a career in…

Yeah, you're biased. I am, too, but I have facts to back me up. The Saints played average. Their Superbowl run was accomplished on the back of a great offense and turnover happy defense. Team was middle of the pack when it came to penalties.

Problem is the hard hits sell. When the Giants were knocking QBs out left and right a couple of years ago, people were cheering on a "tough" team. It's a cultural issue and one that's part of the game itself and championed by the league itself, so I think it's difficult if not impossible to address the matter. Then…

Same with Favre letting Strahan grab the sack record. I can consider that real world achievement boosting.

You don't need to be rude, but I mostly agree. Then again, hockey is an abnormality for whatever reason in that it's OK with its players fighting.

Except that the league already rules out hits to the head, spearing, and other dangerous play. Wrapping a guy up and sending him to the ground is legal, is required, and may or may not cause injury. You can't just go, "well, I'm gonna raise my power level to 9,000 so that I really hurt this guy and knock him out of…

You injure people when you hit them. It's not that tough to understand. Don't want injured players? Stop hitting them.

Except that it is how it is. His words as a speaker certainly contrast his play as a player. He was violent. That's how he got paid. If you're on defense, you're paid to stop the opposition in what remains a violent sport. The same thing came up during last year's concussion discussion. There's a risk involved in…

"So, why are you applying for our writer opening at BioWare?"

Her comment is a wordier version of a Phil Fish "suck my dick," though I guess she refrains from that particular phrase as she lacks the equipment.

Does the Kindle Fire not allow you to make purchases from Android Mar— er, Google Play? Amazon's store usually lags well behind on updates and listings for Android stuff unfortunately. It's there on Play for 99 cents.

It's been out for the phones for a month now, so hopefully soon. I'd imagine Farsight is looking to release the XBL and PSN versions at the same time, so I'm guessing it's just up to scheduling now.

I suppose beggars can't be choosers, and this is nice to see. Still, it feels like New Coke to me. Sure, Coke is back, but it's New Coke. Kotaku used to be much more community minded: Week in Comments, Day/Night Notes, site contests, etc. Then all this dropped out late 2010/early 2011 when it seemed apparent that…

I don't think you're following. I'm saying Sega is possibly not going to release PSO2 on consoles because PSU didn't do so well. I'm not making a statement on why PSU did poorly, which I'd attribute to the lack of content as you say along with the Hunter's license requirement.

Hopefully. The problem with the Speak Up spotlight is that it turned Speak Up into a budding novella author corner. Fahey is always going to grab a comment with some heft, which is fine, but the wall of text spam it spawned is annoying. I always figured Speak Up should be more like a shout box instead of what it…

The humor at Deadspin is great, but, yeah, I wish it were more open to normal conversation.

Here's a full screen shot I'm using as my background if you can't capture it yourself.

I nominated that one. :^)

I've got the eyes of a hawk. :p
