      - Maybe, to be honest, I don't have a car and wanted someone to just pick it up. - Guigue Feb 26, 12:04

      - you would make a horrible chess player. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 26, 11:43 13

        See, I need this not to go any further since I don't have the free time to play Chess... - David Feb 26, 11:49 4
        
        Most likely cuz my chess skill has eroded since I've not played it in 20+ years. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 11:51 1
        
        you are talking to the guy who danced a jig every time he killed Spawn. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 26, 11:57
        
        Will Hunting is madly googling right now to find out if chess has sticky grenades -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:49 1
        
        Bery is *killing* me today. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 11:50

"Shanahan: Skins want to bring back Jason Campbell" -- nm - David Feb 26, 11:38 9
- Damn. I was looking forward to gambling on whatever team he went to. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:41 2
  - What if that team was the Rams? - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 26, 11:51 1
    - There you go. I'd bet he'd make both teams a whole lot friskier against middling teams. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 11:53
- I can see for a one year deal, until the new CBA gets signed and rookie QBs (and overall 1st round picks) don't get paid crazy money anymore -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 11:41
- Good. He's a competent enough QB to hold the fort down till you fix the OLine. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 11:40 4
  - What about McNabb for 2-3 years while a McCoy learns? -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 11:48 3
    - If Philly is stupid enough to give up on McNabb, sure. He's unquestionably better than Campbell. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 11:52 2
      - I think that depends on what it would cost. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 26, 11:57
      - Philly has made a pretty good habit of ejecting older players. I think Kolb could step in, and that team doesn't miss a beat. -- nm - flavorize Feb 26, 11:54
And now for something a little less cut and dry thant he homophobe argument...public nudity as an art form... -- (link) - znufrii Feb 26, 11:38

  - I told you that tard...... - groiny Feb 26, 11:40 6
    - I think SWAT makes modded controllers moot. - Mop (226 lbs) Feb 26, 11:42 4
      - not when you can get killed by multiple body shots faster - groiny Feb 26, 11:44 3
        
        this is what was happening to me. It was on Gardian and they were basically sniping me. - JaxSean Feb 26, 11:46
        
        Modded controllers can only do so much; the game has a built-in time delay on things. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 11:45 1
        
        I got killed multiple times last night on Boundless, where the guy was up by the guardians, - groiny Feb 26, 11:47

  - Won't you be in Austin on 3/17? - ty97 Feb 26, 11:39 5
    - the whole reason I was not going to Austin on the 17th is the Muse show - grrrrr. I can't take the chance though - Epiphany Feb 26, 11:40 4
      - oohhh, conflicted! -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 11:44 3
        
        HA! - ty97 Feb 26, 11:47 2
        
        hmmm - not as interesting as the Muse rumors but still intriguing - The Cult snuck in one year - I heard that was fun -- nm - Epiphany Feb 26, 11:53 1
        
        The other rumor (which at this point seems to be just that ) is Soudgarden. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 11:57
