Eh. I was harsh; but I wasn't mean. All i said, is one should at least be informed when stating something in such a matter of fact matter. And, I'm definitely no harsher than the people who have repeatedly told me I'm a retard who doens't know sports and should shut up too. *shrug* He stated something in error, and I informed him of his mistake. Pointing out someone's ignorance isn't rude. It's helpful. Why do you have to be ufnriendly and attack me and not talk about hockey? At least Krookie, and I discussed the NHL, and not other posters, which is all you did. P.S. Avery is still awesome.

Outside of Lundvist , their 'scrub' blueline is the best part of their team. Their 'offensive' forwards are pathetic. The defense is one of the best in the league even if they aren't hyped. One of the best defensice teams since the lockout. Their forwards, on the other hand, are pathetic. It says a lot when Sean Avery is pretty much their biggest offensive threat. LMAO They should get rid of Gomez, and Drury. P.S. Also, they *did* trade of a defenseman. You obviously shouldn't talk about the Rangers team if you don't know anything about them (except, for probably, Avery since everyone knows about him, lol).

NYR's AAs are awesome. Avery + Antropov = Da Awesome 4 Tha W!

Decoys 1 & 2: Decent non horror horror flicks with B00BIES!

"Have fun with Antropov, Rangers, God knows we didn't." Along with having Avery back, we're having a BLAST with Antropov!

"Dumbing down the game so you can play with a joystick and 5 buttons would do far more harm then good. Console players should stick with that consoles are good for.. fighting, racing, sports and japan anime CRPGs. Lets leave it at that and don't dumb down my PC games because they want to play w/ a game pad and too lazy to use a mouse and kb. Perhaps harsh but IMO true." Harsh but wrong. Games ar ejust as dumbed down as consoles. Any game that PC can do, console can do just as well. And, likely better since there'll be less bugs. R00fles! Lets leave it at that and don't dumb down my console games because they want to play w/ a mouse and kb and too lazy to use a game pad.

Yeah, he's a 'role-player' making 6.5 mil a year when he was making 9mil or so last year. So, yeah, he took a pay cut but he's not being paid to be a role-player. Bill;s are mostd efinitely expecting #1 or #2 WR type numbers. If he plays like a 'role-player', the signing would be a failure.

Answer to the question on whether or not TO is done: NO!

This week's epsiode was alright. Not special; but I actually enjoyed Echo's co thieves. I laughed when 'old stuff guy' ran out of the vault with the old stuff. L0L And, the two others' reactions to Echo's mindwipe was funny too.

And, also ancient news.

"Owens still has value as a starting WR for another season or two. But I'd take any of the 10 guys I listed above ahead of him for those years, as well as at least 5 other guys." K. Let's go by what you just wrote. You ahve 15ish WR rated higher than him. Fine. There are what? 32 teams in the NFL? Like I said, he's still a #1 WR. " if I'm staffing a team for the long haul, there are probably 50 WRs I'd take before a 35-year-old, me-first, camera-hound T.O." Even with your 50 WR, that still makes him, at worst, a #2 WR. And, oh, the Cowboys are better with him in the line up then out. And, the Giants proved lasts eason how important a #1 WR is when they bought the farm without Burress. "That's very admirable of you Volo, but it means that you would make a terrible NFL GM." Wrong. I'd make agreat GM. Great GMs hire the best players they can. This, of course, means some sacrifices have to be made due to salary. However, we both know, Owens being fired had nothing to do with his salary but this perception that he's a bad seed and he is being blamed for the Cowboys' downfall which is baloney. A good GM would make it work like the Patriots did with the Big Bad Evil Moss. You know.. the guy who was gonna destropy the Pats' chemistry. LMAO And, let's not forget that Big bad Evil Owens has a history of making the teams he's on better. Just check out the Eagles who villified him. They'd have won that SB if it wasn't for McNabb choking as Owens put his all and performed pretty well considering the injury he was fighting. Dallas was a joke prior to Owens. And, SF has been pretty bad since Owens left. Coincidences? I think not.

I'm from the school that if you do your job better than anyone else you should keep said job. Of course, this is barring extreme cases like those conficted of heinous crimes, for obvious reasons.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. His stats don't look horrible because he still had a great season despite having a washed up QB 'throwing' the ball. Dallas is NOT a better team without Owens. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. This move did NOT make Dallas a better team hence it is a horrible move. Period.

A team like the Giants are retaredd if they don't pick him out. They have no shut at championship without a true #1 eceiver. TO is still one of the best receivers in the game even if he is 35. There aren't 10 - let alone 32 - wide receivers better than him in the league. And, he's been a pretty solid citizen in Dallas. On top of this, Dallas was a better team with him then they were without him. He's just a scapegoat here.

That was dumb by Dallas. Wonder who will pick him up. One of the top 10 receivers in the NFl should NOT be unemployed.

He's a good player who played on a crappy team. He can't be any worse than our top centers. And, he's paid much less too.

Campbell's best work is on Hercules/Xena. Bubba Ho Tep was okay to good. Some parts were amazing. Bruce nailed his part for the most part.

Seasn Avery is a Ranger again. Asw ell he should be. Now, time to bring back JJ so we can actually score goals. And, oh, Tortorella is a hypocritical piece of crap. He was tlaking trash about Avery before, and now he's sucking weiner. Tortorella is a wussy coward who can stand for what he believes in. What a pathetic tool!

"Exactly. When I judge others at least I am not being hypocritical about it." Yes, you are. Because youa re claiming they are bad for judging others for doing thinsg they dissaprove of yet you ar ejduging them for doing things you disaprove of and you hate being judged yourself. And, yes, I'm judging you. All this judging others is a nasty never ending cycle.

Yeah. I agree. Someone somewhere has the perspective that Hitler was a saint. My bad. P.S. Yeah, I went there. Companies that go out of busioness because they cna't sell their products and services or PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES are failures. Otherwise... how would YOU determine a failed game company?

"Again, this is a glass half full/half empty argument. You can post until you are blue in the face about THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY! But that doesn't make the glass half full people wrong. They are just different perspectives. It's just odd that you are so adamant about your perspective being right." The irony of you guys repeating myself is that's exactly what you are doing. Hypocrite much? And, it's not a matter of perspective. They're a failed company. That's why they no longer exist.

Like they went out of business because they failed to meet the demands of the market they were in? OMG! SUCCESS STORY!

That fits the Troika defenders to a tee. 'They're not a failure. Honest. even if they couldn't pay their employees anymore."

Huh? Who says this threa dis only about Troika's 'successes'? The topic nor the original post suggests that. Don't think trolling is because someone has an opinion YOU disagree with. btw, It's not only me who have pointed out that Troika failed. The trhead is about not forgeting Troika, and to me that includes their failure since 'those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it'. Are you here for any reason other than to flame me? I'm here to discuss, and remember Troika. Period.

"From a business standpoint, Troika managed to pay salaries and secure enough funding to last 7 years and release 3 full products. That is "some success" as you stated. Why are you so down on them?" This shoudl be obvious. Did Troika want to close like some companies who sold themselves for profit or were they forced to close because they couldn't make money? Great. Troika paid their employees for 7 years. They closed down because they couldn't pay those same employees because failing. Unlike, say, BIO's owners who sold their company because they had atcual people who felt BIO had actual value. Troika couldn't even convince one publisher - not a one - to pony up cash for a game despite Troika's owners history in the industry. Their games barely sold. They crashed, and burned. Sure, they lasted 7 years. Big deal. 7 years of failure in terms of profit, popularity, and actuallybeing successful. remember, I said they were somewhat successful because I personally liked their games; but again, my opinion is IRREVELANT. In the rgand scheme of things, Troika is a failed company.
