Besides the physicality and tackling, I do not see how these two sports match up.

He looks fast playing amongst white dudes.

College football is also pretty savage. Yet still, there are plenty of guys his size with his speed that come out of college and never make it. He's at an extra disadvantage because he doesn't have any football specific experience. I watch his highlight video and what really jumps out at me is his…

And I guess he looks fast, but 6'2" is kind of tall for a RB, seems like he should just be a safety or beef up and play LB.

The guy is great with the ball when it comes to rugby, buy throw pads and take away the fake pitch and I think he gets destroyed as a running back. I see him more a linebacker with the ability to shed blocks. So....special teamer at best.

They should've known he was bluffing when he said he was worried about tampering.

But seriously, I just don't see how it's gonna be possible for a 26 year old, who has never played a down of football, to make an NFL roster after training for 4 months. Athletically, he's just another guy at the combine.

A Saudi official later commented, "We were pressured by our advertising partners because there were a lack of 'honey shots' in our television broadcasts... I thought the idea of women's periods attracting bees had long been debunked, but whatevs."

You guys don't understand...French military posturing is always a prelude to capitulation and ridicule.

Its impossible to predict what is going to have value in 20 or 30 years, most things don't appreciate in value, so keeping everything in boxes in the hope that you might get some sort of huge return is really just 99.999% of the time depriving you of whatever enjoyment you might be getting from your purchase.

So,…

I'm sorry, but the gloves piss me off. I get so annoyed by collectors. For example, every time I see a game sealed in its original box and sealed another 2-3 times with a card rating its quality, I want to buy it just so I can break it open and PLAY it. And record it. And post it on YouTube just for the lulz and…

The extra shitty thing is that there are still going to be tons of commercials, etc. during the game. Soccer at least has the excuse of having no commercials during the game. This is the worst of both worlds.

Here's an amazing idea, assume every copy shipped will sell, then make sure your servers can handle the load of all of them being online simultaneously. Assume player participation will drop precipitously and lease hardware as required. It's not fucking rocket science.

why don't these companies short term lease a server farm for the first month or so when a game like this comes out? Then, once they have a good idea of peak load, scale back to that.

its shit like this that will catalyze another video game crash. it doesn't need to happen but farrrrrrr too often are publishers not taking the time to deliver what they promise and release what amounts to a demo disc version or a beta of a full game. if you're going to ask for more than half of $100 for your game you…

Rule #1 in online game development: stress testing the servers.

that video got better everytime i rewinded it lol

Happened in Rockford with the Bears game, too, as if living here wasn't bad enough.
