The "it's only $15 total" mentality was the only thing that kept me sane during the process of getting it. When I shop online I'm accustomed to your order shipping within a day or two, and you have it within a week. But with how long it took - well once they screwed up which Fathead I wanted it was all over.Well, it was $15 total, so thats why i didn't think it was worth freaking out about. Worst case scenario, i'l toss it up on craigslist and try to get $20-25 for the Ortiz from some sawx fan.
Funny thing was I threw a note up on my Facebook page offering it for $20 + shipping because I know I have Red Sox fans, but the place had already refunded my money before I got a single reply. They sure are fast at getting the money back to customers - must be experienced at that.

Well, I had a friend of mine run over to the post office to pick mine up, and sure enough...David fuggin Ortiz. I sent Graveyard Mall a nasty email, telling them that someone was nice enough to promote their company and product on a very active message board, yet they screwed up like half the orders. They sent a very cordial email back saying they're going to ship me the Bruce fathead. I'll believe it when I see it, and I'm sure as hell not sending this one back until the right one is in hand. These people are complete idiots. I did a search for feedback on the site and it's awful. I sent them a link to that, too
I sent them an email requesting a Bruce Fathead as a replacement, and if not, then a full refund. I'll keep you guys updated on what happens.
You guys have much more patience than I. After nearly three weeks of waiting, crappy attempts at customer service in response to my inquiries...well, I had had enough. As soon as my wife told me it was Ortiz and not Bruce I damn near lost my mind and fired off a polite but somewhat angry email. The gist of it was "I wanted Bruce but you took three weeks to screw it up and I don't trust you guys to get it right on the exchange, so I want my money back but I don't want to wait nearly another month like it took to get the damn thing in the first place."
The only thing they did right was they refunded my money before they even replied to my email.
ajzepp - can you send me the link to their feedback? I'd like to add something to it.

Got mine today. Another
Ortiz. I was LIVID. I contacted customer service immediately and they refunded my money within about 20 minutes of getting my email. They are sending me a prepaid shipping label to return it. -
has anyone here recieved their fatheads yet???
Nope. Been over two weeks now. Supposedly shipped on Halloween via OSM (never heard of them) and their online tracking is a joke. If the tracking is to be believed, mine has been sitting at the OSM facility for 3-4 days.
If, after all this BS, I get a David Ortiz and not Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce I am gonna kill someone.

That's one of the reasons I'm glad I've really gotten into college ball...the lockout thing. If they do end up locking the players out and no agreement gets done in a timely manner, they're just a bunch of jagoffs....no excuse for that. But I'd say there's a reasonable chance they won't get it done in time for the season.
I don't know where you stand on the issue, but if college ball had a playoff format, I really think I'd become just as big a fan as I am of the NFL.
I'm definitely a playoff guy for college football. I would even settle for a +1 format if necessary but I am tired of the debate over who got screwed out of the BCS championship game each year. I think there's got to be a way they can integrate the current bowl format with a brief playoff bracket of 4-8 teams max.

That's great for FSU fans....I've always liked that team...In fact, even though I rarely watched much college ball back when I was living up north in the late 80s and 90s, I did used to watch a lot of those FSU v. Miami games since both teams were pretty solid back then. I also remember when we drafted Sam Cowart from FSU and how awesome that guy was prior to his injury. After we drafted him I took more of an interest in FSU for a bit...
But anyway, yeah, the next couple years will be fun to watch for some of these teams down here
Yeah, like you said - a lot of good talent throughout the South. If teams can recruit their backyard they will usually do OK. The SEC is definitely the 800-lb gorilla in college football, so it makes me feel good to see that a lot of the guys we signed and recruited were also heavily chased by SEC teams.
If the NFL locks the players out or there is some work stoppage I won't miss it. I'll spend half as much to order the ESPN Gameplan and get my football fix that way.

Very cool....this is the first time I've ever really paid attention to recruiting in college, so it'll be fun to see how these top classes pan out over the next couple years. I already can't wait for the 2011 Kickoff Classic in the GA Dome
This was a real exciting recruiting class for FSU fans. For a long time we recruited real well, and then over the last decade it started to slip. Word was that the staff got complacent and lazy and started relying more on the rankings and stars for who to target rather than doing their own recruiting and scouting to find stud players at positions of need. Chasing the stars led to recruiting a lot of talented players with disciplinary and character issues, and a lot of guys never made it on the field for FSU, flamed out, were kicked out or never made the grade to get in. This year it showed how the new coaching staff busted their asses getting out and about and recruiting the guys they wanted and needed.
Obviously you can't assess a class until a couple years down the road (at least) but on paper it looks and feels like a much different class and attitude from this group (both coaching staff and players).

Supposedly Florida State had what is considered the best draft class in the country this year...too bad they don't play in the SEC! (Although there are rumors about SEC expansion and Florida State has been one of the teams they would target...)
It was a great signing day for the Seminoles.
It was a jubilant scene on a jubilant day for Florida State, which finished with one of the top recruiting classes in the nation. Near the end of National Signing Day, ESPN.com ranked the Seminoles' 29-man class No. 1 nationally. So, too, did Scout.com. Rivals.com ranked Florida State No. 4.

got that right. SOMEONE is going to be very glad they took Ponder. If he had any defense the last two years, he would be a much better recognized name.

Drink up and bang her friend. That will learn her.
I'm late to the party but I still think this is the best advice in the thread.

this was a bummer to see today. im wayyyy to young to have seen him play for buffalo (22 yrs old), but on the double disc dvd "history of the bills" there was a story about him running over the safety for New England, and knocking him unconcious. than walking back to the sideline all the NE players were trying to revive their man. i guess when he walked back he said "who the F*** is next?!?!" it was by far my favorite story on the dvd, tim russert had the biggest smile ever telling part of that story.
Check out TG's column on that story, via Paul Maguire.

Well that's cutting it a little bit close, isn't it? I mean, just from a sales point of view, I mean your book is just coming out, you're not gonna see any paperback sales for at least a year. It'll be at least another year before you know whether you've got that mini-series or movie of the week kind of possibilities.
This is not just some money-making scheme! Alright! I have a strong psychic belief that the world will end on New Year's Eve.

If it's the play I am thinking of then I have no problem with the hit on Vick. It certainly looked like he was running out of bounds, but the contact was made while he was still technically in bounds, or right on the line at worst. It didn't look egregiously late to me. Maybe the shove was harder than it needed to be but given Vick's running ability one could make the argument that he wanted to make sure he really went out of bounds and didn't cut back upfield.
Just my two cents.

I've got a lot of Pats fans as Facebook friends. They're insufferable.
There's a real easy fix for this.

Blame the "mama-bear instinct.":
The environment also brings out what security experts call the "mama-bear instinct." A Chuck E. Cheese's can take on some of the dynamics of the animal kingdom, where beasts rush to protect their young when they sense a threat.
Stepping in when a parent perceives that a child is being threatened "is part of protective parenting," says Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University and former president of the American Psychological Association. "It is part of the species -- all species, in fact -- in the animal kingdom," he says. "We do it all of the time."
I don't know about the "mama bear" instinct, but Chuck E Cheese seems to attract a high level of !@#$s who probably shouldn't be parents and are teaching their kids to act in the same self-centered, aggressive manner. I know my brother and his wife almost got into a fight at my son's first birthday (at a CEC) a couple years ago, because some older kids were pushing younger ones around and forcing their way onto games and the parents saw nothing wrong with it.
Now when we take him to CEC we pick a time when the place is quiet and he and his friends pretty much have the run of the place.

The guy is a horrible football player. What has he done that merits the ballwashing? Why do people think it's not important for a QB to be able to throw the ball?
He was on the cover of Madden! He was DOMINATE [sic] in my Madden franchise! I've heard of him!

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Tebow was sick all week:
In Saturday's Senior Bowl, try playing without 10 pounds and a healthy esophagus.
There was the quarterback of the night, fresh off a respectable yet unspectacular performance in blustery weather, taxed from a viral esophagus infection yet still being mobbed by overzealous fans banging on his shoulders before he crossed the 50-yard line.

Can't believe I didn't see this thread until just now. Beerball, I'm glad to hear the news is encouraging, and you and your family have our thoughts and prayers. Get better soon and get back here ASAP.
-
Anybody still mad at Ronnie Harmon? Scott Norwood? Tom Donahoe? McGahee?
Yes, never was, and oh hell yes to the last two - but more at TD.
-
what you say is very true, regardless of how anyone feels about Tebow. i think that is what it comes down to.
Thanks. I have to admit that the idea of Tebow in a Bills uni makes this Nole fan queasy, but I think he would be a great wildcat/slash weapon to have. I don't see him as a franchise QB, but if some other team is stacked enough that they can afford to take him earlier and spend a few years revamping his mechanics, teaching him how to read defenses, and develop him into a starting QB, more power to them. I just don't think we can afford that kind of long-term project in the first few rounds.
-
What makes you think he can be developed?? Development is for guys who have all the skills, but not the understanding of the game, usually played at smaller schools. See Phil Simm's. Tebow has the mental part down, his problem likely is the physical part, and rarely can that be developed.
Actually there are questions about his ability to read defenses, so I don't know that he has the mental part down, which makes the physical side more daunting.
It's easy to look great when you play on a stocked team, for a game-changing coach, and rarely have to face competition as good as your team or better.It's VERY easy to be a leader and show heart when you win 99.99% of the time.
I'm so tired of all this Tebow ballwashing. It's absurd. Even for TSW.
Look, even as a Nole, I can somewhat stomach the idea of him on the Bills - if he is a late-round pick. We just have too many other holes and need too many key positions filled to take a chance on a long-term project early on. Finding starters and game-changers at LT, DT, LB all are much more important than taking a flier on a guy who is going to need a long time to learn how to play QB, and then develop into a NFL-ready QB.

Are you talking about the shipping package or the actual Fathead package?
