  1. I think that is a bad idea because it turns the site into a popularity contest. I think the mark of a good poster is one who can challenge the ideas of the original poster in a particular thread, while instituting their own ideas and opinions that either provoke thought or inspire readers to change their minds from the original poster's opinions. That can tend to cause tension in a thread, or among posters, if you're challenging or refuting a claim. That tension turns into a personal dislike the majority of the time, causing the person who is being refuted to personally "not like" the poster instead of trying to see the other side of the textual argument. The person who can successfully do what's stated above, IMO, is a good poster, but at the same time probably isn't liked very well to most of the people who take disagreements as personal insults. That "good poster" would probably not make it into the popularity contest of "super membership" even though they probably deserve to be there. However, the person that doesn't really challenge ideas or arguments and doesn't offer much controversy or personal opinions of their own, and just simply agrees with everyone would gain a lot of votes or respect among members, and could easily gain admission into this "super membership" category. A "super membership" category that is based on voting would just introduce a friends or ally category that would give members who are not included a negative disdain to the site. We already have posters mocking the "old boys club" of TBD, and I believe a voting system would just make that perception worse.
  2. There's no way her mother wasn't involved in some way. Whether she's on drugs and made her daughter do that, or she's displayed that type of behavior in the past in being a prostitute, or the child was molested... a kid just doesn't wake up in the morning and have that idea suddenly pop into their head. There has to be some influence coming from that home.
  3. They are practicing the 3-4 and the 4-3. They are getting the 4-3 scheme look down so they'll be able to play both at anytime. That will greatly confuse the offense. Not only will you have to prepare for both, but you could potentially see any one of those alignments on any given play. Could put a huge fail on that given play, a drive, or even a whole game if you're constantly guessing wrong. I'll assume they will also be able to disguise the defense at the line of scrimmage, and the QB and o-line won't even be able to tell which defense they are going to play once the ball is snapped.
  4. Yeah. It was disconcerning to read how the coaches think Schouman is their most complete player. I highly doubt he gets cut. Looks like we're either keeping 4 TE's or Stupar is cut.
  5. If you go to record something on the DVR, does the tv need to be on for it to record? Or can it record if the tv is off...
  6. Mewelde Moore, who also played with Losman there, said JP was a dick and nobody on the team liked him.
  7. That sounds pretty cool, I'd definitely be interested. I'm not used to anything like that since I've been on the ps2 for so long. Only problem is I'm waiting my shipment for the madden and ps3 to come in. Don't know how long you'd be willing to wait.
  8. I just know it's expensive. Something like $25 for each kid and $30 for each adult.
  9. Yeah, just bought it about a week ago. Got the 80gb and everything for $265. The slim sounds like a hell of a deal though.
  10. What about if you're in a franchise mode or something, with new draft picks, free agents... and then you download the roster update? What happens?
  11. Thanks. Sounds easy enough. If you tinker with the rosters yourself, such as make this player a little better, make this player a little worse, ect... does it erase it all when you download a roster update?
  12. The ps3 should arrive by next week. Does the ps3 do those online roster updates? How do I hook that up if I've got wireless?
  13. Who would ever want to do business with the Bills after they did that?
  14. That's kind of ironic, considering YOU posted it, and the guy in the picture has a St. Louis shirt on, and your name is "Stl Bills"
  15. Just nitpicking here, but being purely technical, that's not always true.
  16. I agree with you he's got the most upside among the three however I don't think any of the three are going to be great TEs. They all bore me as much as the other one......i wouldn't be shocked if any of them were cut. Yeah... it pretty much does. If he hasn't done anything significant (like Wright fumbling 3 or 4 times in 2 consecutive games) then he'll be around. To any sane organization anyway.
  17. Yes it does. If you're not clearly !@#$ing up, and you're picked anywhere in the first 4 rounds, you stay around after ONE year until you prove you aren't worthy. Fine hasn't shown he's not good yet.
  18. No they are not. You accounted for the snap to take all 40 seconds between every single play, which the no huddle obviously does not. You snap it quick, you don't take 40 seconds.
  19. Jesus Christ. You people amaze me. Did I not already say that it's because he hasn't had the opportunity to play much yet, and that when he did, he played well? He was picked in the 4th round just 1 year ago, and in the limited time he's had, he's played well. That is the reason I don't believe he should be cut. Somehow your brain cells mangled that into "he's a 4th round pick so he must be good."
