When Trent Green said "lot riding on this Bengal drive" with 1:51 left and down 6 for the Bengals I said "No shit Trent" out loud, and I'm the only one here. Just ridiculously bad coverage.
Mark Schlereth is still worse, mind.

It's insane. We were one of the healthiest teams coming in and we've been decimated.

They were examining his knee though... I fear the worst. And the Patriots have looked so good with him on the left side. :(

It's not about upsets. In the NBA it is either Tank or Title now, with everyone in between "doing it wrong". Being in the Play-In is doing it wrong. Being mid is bad. And "fans" support this vocally.....but then don't watch their team when it is bad. Aprons supposed to cure this, but haven't.

And the whole thing why you want parity is not about titles, but to have the NFL's "Any Given Sunday" that keeps people watching throughout the year. Now you just have more fan bases tuning out by December. People watch in April anyway. You want them to watch the rest.

Other options would have been Core by Stone Temple Pilots, and Check Your Head by the Beastie Boys. I played all 3 of these records to death. 😀

Wow, that is the most random ass team to root for. I would have probably named Simons last on a list of possible Titans fans. xD

I think you may be right. Quick wikipedia check says only Minott and Tillman have ties to anything Tennessee related. And given Tillman is a born and raised Michigan guy, I doubt he'd latch on to the Titans of all teams.
And the Titans were actually good when Minott was at Memphis I think.

The Tennessee Titans? They must be from that area.

Yeah, that's the part that concerned me the most. Trying to keep the whole thing as close to cap neutral. Cause I really don't think they want to increase payroll, more so the opposite.
And at that point it gets complicated quickly. (which is why Brad is the man!)

With regards to Gafford: I dabbled a bit in the trade machine when the Nico news broke and it would not be easy, and there would be teams with better assets who would probably be more palpable to the Mavs then the team that beat them in the Finals.

We can call it the Auerbach-Thomas Scale, to make it sound proper and scientific. You know, like Richter Scale?
"Yeah, Nico was a 9.7 on the Auerbach-Thomas scale. Biggest impact this century."

Normally I would say yes, but then the Pelicans employed Joe Dumars this offseason, so I'll amend that to "probably".

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you gush about his night when it happened, but apparently you are just human after all.

Or am I reading "If selected to participate in the beta test, your Battle.net account is already flagged for access." wrong?
I thought this meant that everyone with a pre-purchase already had their account flagged.
Which is why I asked the question if my account should have the indication.

To clarify, the article says you will have Beta in your drop down so you can pre-download. But I do not have it so I also have not been able to pre-download.
Hence why I'm trying to start this conversation now and not at launch hour when I would rather be playing and you guys will be busy.

Yeah, I did read that and that is why I came here to ask the question if I should already be able to see it on my account.
Because I cannot see an indication of Midnight Beta on my WoW drop down, when this article says I should already.

Question: Am I supposed to already have an indication on my account that I will have Beta access? or is this granted later?
I have both signed up for beta access and I have the epic pre-order.
