- Stuff we're at least recording to see what the reaction is: - spamlet Sep 16, 09:28 11
  - I usually hold off starting shows until I see the ST reaction. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 09:39 2
    - Well, using a PC as a DVR I have essentially unlimited space, so I might as well record and see what happens. - spamlet Sep 16, 09:41 1

- Set the DVR for Sleepy Hollow, SHIELD, and Blacklist. Forgot about Almost Human. Hmmmm. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 09:20

  - It is probably awful but might be fun. Gonna give it a try. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 09:21 1

- I blame David. (nm) - Stephen Sep 16, 09:18
- Roddy White, Antonio Brown, Danny Amendola, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Stevan Ridley -- nm - David Sep 16, 09:06 25
  - Frank Gore is pretty bad. If hurt, I'll take them off the list (except Amendola -- he's always hurt) -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 09:53
  - I wouldn't consider Antonio Brown a disappointment quite yet - Brian Sep 16, 09:35 1
    - [deleted]
  - MJ F'N D. -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 09:12 1
    - Yeah, he's been horrible too. And I traded for him before the season started. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:13
  - [deleted] 16
    - Realistically, Brady is the worst since he is supposed to be a team anchor. -- nm - David Sep 16, 09:09
    - Disappointment hinges just as much on expectations. I can't imagine expectations for Wilson were higher than Roddy White or Brady. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:09 14
      - [deleted] 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        So then you're telling me you expected more from David Wilson than Tom Brady? -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:16 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        I think that speaks more to the madness of draft projections if someone believes a first time starter at RB should be drafted higher than Tom Brady. -- nm - David Sep 16, 09:36 9
        
        This is what I'm saying. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:46 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Actually, that's not true. - Inigo Sep 16, 09:51 1

        Team SHA is living up to it's reputation with Lacy going down -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 09:49
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I don't buy that for a second. Brady had 4800 yards and 34 TDs last year. - David Sep 16, 09:49 2
        
        Listen Jim Cramer, you've been pimping Wilson for 14 months now --- you don't get to downgrade him that easily! -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 09:54
        
        [deleted]
  - Yeah, I'm almost ready to drop Roddy White in Cavemen. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 09:06 2
    - Noticing a pattern. I traded away Greg Jennings before last season. I traded away Roddy White before this season. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 09:18
    - I'm hearing he will be 100% in two more weeks. - David Sep 16, 09:08
- Hi. -- nm - MJD SI Sep 16, 09:04
- Sup. -- nm - Tom Brady Sep 16, 09:04

Official press update at Navy Yard says there is NO SHOOTING at JFB Anacostia Bolling. - loosilu Sep 16, 08:58 15
- There was no shooting on my block this morning either, isn't that good news, too? -- nm - con_carne Sep 16, 09:10 2
  - Well, yes, of course. But if there had been a shooting the next corner over, and someone said there might have been one on your corner too ... - Beryllium Sep 16, 09:28 1
    - I also manage to make it through the work day without strangling anyone on a regular basis. - con_carne Sep 16, 09:31
- But by all means...keep posting every rumor you hear. nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:01 8
  - I heard groiny was passed out in a hotel bathtub again this weekend -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 09:11 4
    - No way, dude. groin ain't wasting money on a hotel room. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 09:15 3
      - who said the bathtub was still in the room? -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 09:17
      - I didn't say *his* hotel bathtub -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 09:15 1
        
        don't look at me - Epiphany Sep 16, 09:17
  - Word. No need to post the rumors here. -- nm - Inigo Sep 16, 09:08
  - at least I marked it as a rumor! -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 09:02 1
    - ~rumor has it...~ -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 09:14
- I don't know what to believe anymore. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 09:00
- amazing....nm - x Sep 16, 08:59
- *headdesk* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:58
Barring any stat corrections, I won both my fantasy matchups this weekend by a grand total of 2.5 points. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 08:53 1

Walking Dead 2nd tv show greenlit... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 16, 08:49 13
- It's going to be about the last radio station and what it takes to stay operating. - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:55 4
  - pontypool?....nm - x Sep 16, 09:23
  - It's going to be about two cops with an axe to grind against the walkers. - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:58 2
    - It's going to be about a swimming pool cleaner and the lengths he'll go to survive. - Beryllium Sep 16, 08:59 1
      - Law and Order : Walking Dead. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 09:01
- is there original material they haven't worked into the original show or does this sound like they're going to make something else up entirely? -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 16, 08:53 6
  - I doubt it would be difficult for talented writers to pen a completely new show based in the same universe. TWD game is a great example. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 08:54 5
    - The Dick Wolf-ization of TV is one of it's few black spots. - Mel Profit Sep 16, 08:58 4
      - as long as you can use it to tell a good story, I'm okay with it. -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 09:02 2
        
        how many different ways can you spin killing zombies? -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 09:03 1
        
        that's a challenge, I guess. - znufrii Sep 16, 09:04
      - Sorry, I can't hear your complaints with these hundred dollar bills stuffed in my ears. - Dick Wolf SI Sep 16, 09:00
- cool -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 08:52

- I still remember their "Oscar caliber dialogue" comments from GTAIV. - Inigo Sep 16, 08:55 4
  - I was watching streams over the weekend. The only negative comments I've seen are draw distance, illogical solid/non-solid objects, and...that's it. - Max Sep 16, 08:59 2
    - GTAIV had the same reactions. Now it's generally thought of as "good" by most players. - Inigo Sep 16, 09:03 1
      - I mostly agree with this. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 09:05
  - I'd be surprised if it didn't get perfect marks all over. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 08:57
- Still not getting it...yet. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 08:55
- Kotaku's review is glowing as well. -- nm - Tim Sep 16, 08:53

- The stadium is being used as a meeting point for staff/families. It really is very close to the Navy Yard. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 08:46 1
  - that makes sense. -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 08:47
- wha? -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:46 7
  - it's just a couple of blocks away. whole area is in lockdown. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 08:46 6
    - what time is the game? -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 08:47 5
      - 7:05. I doubt it gets played. -- nm - David Sep 16, 08:49 2
        
        they must have to be in there hours beforehand to set up as well, it makes sense to cancel. -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 08:50 1
        
        And at the end of the day, it's just a baseball game. -- nm - David Sep 16, 08:55
      - [deleted] 1
        
        yeah, I think they will be there all day. -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 08:50
