Game: Heavy Rain

My mom is dead.

This is a terrific humblebrag. Well done.

Complainers about this sound like a bunch of whiny old people in a nursing home.

I think this was a pretty decent answer to the criticism they've received that they don't have a gaming focus. Look, at heart this is a gaming console. For someone like me—33 years old with two kids in suburbia—the extra components for entertainment are pretty cool, and I'm happy to see the execution of it all finally.

It's unfortunate, though, that American Pie is the worst song ever written/recorded.

Since we're all getting sentimental:

The issue, of course, is that Tuley doesn't use math models. He's a typical dogs getting points guy. However, a commenter on Tuley's VFV site uses the LMM (legendary math model) on NFL and college games. It usually has a good hit rate, particularly as seasons move along, but has been struggling early.

PredictionMachine is a pretty terrific site. They do a good job. But I also share your confusion as to why they don't post a weekly rundown of success.

Maybe Mumbles Menino is onto something. Maybe baseball will get much popular if they turned the trophy into a cup like the Stanley Cup.

Buy low, sell high. Just like stock investments. Richardson was sold really, really high and netted the Browns a first-round pick. Ponder would be sold incredibly low right now.

For a while, Netflix had all the original episodes of He-Man. After watching too much goddamn Elmo and Thomas, I gave it a shot and it stuck. Netflix has unfortunately yanked those, and now it only has the newer 2002 version of the show, which isn't bad.

Even worse predicament of buying your kids Halloween costumes too early: kids change their minds like windmills. For four solid months my 2-year-old wanted to be Darth Vader. He's got a Darth Vader costume, with a little mask and lightsaber. Yesterday, he told me he wants to be Bat-Man. Today, He-Man. Moral of the…

Kudos to Deadspin for doing this series. I am really looking forward to the rest of the entries, even though I know most of these guys, no matter how badly they were beaten and may be suffering the consequences now, would still play in the NFL if they could.

Wow.

Emmitt Smith's Lock of the Week, in its first week, is already my favorite part of any Jambaroo ever. So happy that you added this feature.

I actually really liked the monologue. I'd rather hear Olbermann give some nice history on the Yankees (and I say that as a Red Sox fan) than listen to Skip Bayless and someone else debate whether A-Rod should be booed or not. We should be embracing ts type of content from ESPN.

No, I mean a very futuristic world where you get inside a pod the size of a car. It's yours and it pilots itself. I know there are self-driving cars, but I'm envisioning a system where a main computer knows the destinations of all moving pods and helps coordinate movement. You get in your pod, set your destination,…

Crap. I forgot about Corn Pops. Dammit. And Sugar Smacks/Golden Crisp. I love those cereals.

Man.
