Sand is wrong as usual. I guess the US president during WW2 failed as well since they lost 10s of thosuands of troops in a matter of couple of years. :crazy:

"I believe that KOTOR II didn't do as well has KOTOR I in the accounting departament." Sequels rarely sell as much as originals simple based on attrition. "They were AT LEAST over one million, propably two" Throwing random numbers that came from your poo poo helps nobody, and nothing. It is just numerical masterbation.

"and Obsidian is the reincarnation of Black Isle Studios" No, they arne't. Why do people insult Obsidian by comapring them to a failed division of a broken company? While Obsidian was founded by former employees of Interplay/BIS; they are not 'BIS Reincarnated'. They are a whole new company... espicially since the percentage of former BISers working at Obsidian is relatively small. Of course, a few of thema r every important parts of Obsidian 9CEOs and lead developers); but still; Obsidian is not BIS in any way, shape, or form.

Worst - FF8, PST, DW1, FF1 Best - TOB, FF7, FF6

YES! COUGHLIN IS GONNA GET FIRED... at least he better be! WOO HOO HOO! They lost this game 'cause he got outcoached. NAH NAH HEY HEY GOODBYE! Worst. coach. ever.

Last i checked... football is a tough sport... yet fighting is dissaproved there. Your theory is pathetic. R00fles!

Didn't Romo replace Bledsoe because he was 'harder' to sack and wouldn't fumble as much? R00fles!

Irrevelant. They scored the TD anyways.

"Just to rub Volo the wrong way I'll choose Seattle I guess." Troll/ :D

No. I'm not even allowed to watch the Giants (lose) this weekend. Stupid work.

No. They tend to have big B00BIES!

There's a hockey thread already. on top of this, I feel fighting in hockey should be abolished. fighting should be auto rejection, and a certain amount of fights = compulsion. For me, personally, it adds NOTHING to the GAME of hockey except me being annoyed while I wait for the REAL hockey to start again.

Too bad that Nintendo didn't have a common sense to actually hire skilled craftsman to build their Wiimote. Wires snapping = the fault of the crafter. Period.

"Acually Volourn, Nintendo realized that it was treating non-Nintendo developers like trash, and turned around to offer the same quality support as Sony and Microsft, almost a year ago." If so, that's really good news. "I just think it would be awsome to swing around a sword on the Wii like real life." I'm no Wii fan; but yeah; that would be fun. But, would it be a role-playing game? It might work an Action RPG though... maybe...

"Obsidian is just hurting itself by not being a developer for the Wii." Nah. Not really. Many successful developers don't develop for Nintendo. In fact, Nintendo has a habit of treating 3rd party developers/publishers like trash so good on Obsidian for avoiding the Big Pee Pee. Unlike you, I will NEVER buy a Wii unless I stumble into millions of dollars that i can waste on crap products like the Wii. PS3, XBOX360, AND PC 4EVAR! DOWN WITH NINTENDO.... unless you are a kiddie!!!

No, not really. Last year 6 Eastern and 4 Western clubs had 100+ points. With OT/SO losses counting as a point; it's not that amazing to reach 100 points anymore.

Shh.. Taks... don't use facts to prove your point. :crazy:

"I think it's great that the American public is fed up with war" They're only 'upset' because the war and its aftermath wasn't clean or quick. They'renot mad because they disagree with the reasoning behind the war; but because it wasn't/hasn't been easy.

Yes. Just like I do the tv series. Not that Doctor Who is bad. It's ok for dirative SF; but vastly overrated.

"But when a player routinely takes a team out of its gameplan by demanding the ball" Oh, please. Any player worth their salt is gonna wnat the ball. It's even ahrder for a reciever since whether or not they get the ball really has to do with what the QB decides. I think a receiver who doens't wnat the ball thrown to him is not a good receiver in the first place. "generally disrupting the team chemistry it becomes very difficult to win as it has for Dallas in resent weeks." WHAT? Are you saying it's Owen's fault that the Cowboy's are struggling lately? give me a break. The Cowboys ar elosing; not because of any nonsenical distractions (oither than the spit incident he's been rather calm lately, btw); because Romo has stopped being perfect and the defense has been really horrible.When your defense is giving up about 30 points on average; you simply aren't gonna win much in the NFL. "Remember when the Eagles went to the Superbowl they won ever game while T.O. was out with an injury, they only lost after he made it back." They lost ebcause of the selfishness of the QB who was sick,a nd demanded to keep playing even though he was not doing so well after a good first half. That's what led to T.O. being so upset. btw, He is not the only one who called McNabb on that selfishness; but so did a number of other Philly players. It should be pointed out that T.O. was pratically a model citizen during his firsts eason in Philly. He even came back from a major injury, risked damaging it more, and played pretty darn well in the SB. He was simply frustrated because he felt that all his hard work was wasted because of another player's SELFISHNESS. Yet, somehow it's his fault things went cablooee? I think the problem is that Philly has its mouth on a part of McNabb's anatomy that he seems immune to any criticism hence when even if Garcia manages to win Philly a SB; Garcia is gonna be thrown in the garbage and the choking job will be given back to McNabb. "Don't be surprised this year when Parcells says that its either T.O. or him and its T.O.'s butt that gets kicked out the door." Meh. I doubt Parcells is sweating the T.O. It's the media, once again, trying to stir the pot when there is no controversy. To me, T.O. is definitely a top 3 reciever. Cool beans either way. P.S. Drabek and Laozi are cool. :cool:

"The top recievers go something like this: Chad Johnson Torry Holt Steve Smith Marvin Harrison Reggie Wayne *Roy Williams *Andre Johnson (*Up and comers)" It's one thing to argue that T.O. isn't the *best* receiver as a case cna eaisly be made for others to fill the top spot. But, to argue he's not one of the best? Come on, now, that's just silly. Personal feelings for T.O.'s shenanagins aside, it should be hard to argue his skill as a reciever. Afterall, there must be a reaosn why teams continue to pursue him despite the baggage he brings. Surely can't be because of his middling skillz. "What offense a player is in largely determines how good they are." I don't think you mean thing. I think the offense dtermines how effective you cna be; but it doens't determine how *good* you actually are. There's a subtle difference between the two. "Since you wanted the facts, here they are, spin 'em however you like:" Thanks for the numbers. However, I wasn't really disputing his drops. I was disputing what are called drops. I've seen times where T.O. had a defender all ove rhim, and the ball bounced off his hands as he was fighting for it. I don't really count those as drops. drops, to me, are throws that you should catch as in they are easy and you made a mistake in not catching it. Think of it as 'errors by receivers'. If you think Glenn has no ego; you are delusional. btw, Having an ego doesn't mean you aren't a good guy. Of course, you guys ar ealso ignoring his hand injury which no doubt effects the ability to catch. even with that, he leads the league in TDs, and is up ther ein catches, yards, and what not. And, no doubt by his mere prescense he makes the team better. Afterall, if T.O. wasn't on the team, Glenn would not be doing as good (though Glenn is good in his own right as well) as he has since it's T.O. who usually draws the double coverage.

"The thing I hate about Owens isn't even his mouth... it's that he sulks so damn much! He acts like a spoiled child. Even after he was gifted that TD against the Saints, he went back to the bench and sat there looking petulant." It's true. But, then again, pretty much allr ecievers do this when they don't get the ball. Heck, The Giants' Barber did this earlier in a game when he had gotten only 13 carries, and whined to press... yet, not that along ago in this very threa dpeople were referring to him as an all around nice guy. That's hypociritcal. "Hell, he went so far as to say one of his teammates must be "snitching" on him. He wasn't upset about being late to practice or sleeping during team meetings. It's that someone called him on it." Praactice means crap as long as he shows up for games. Which he does. And, yeah, people T.O. when he attacks teammates in the press yet it's bno biggy when someone blabs about him in the media? Whatever. I really wish people would stop worrying about practice. The players earn their money on the field. "He's a great receiver, yeah, but that doesn't mean he's good for the team. He's a sideshow, and an attention whore. " LOL Attention whore. NEWSFLASH: All prime athletes are attention whores. You don't get that great at sports without having an ego. Period. And, he is a good for the team. heck, last year, the Eagles were .500 until they kicked T.O. off the team THEN they went completely downhill. Coincidence? I think not. "As for the drops, I think I he's got a broken or dislocated ring finger. That might account for why he's missed so many passes that have hit him square in the hands this year." Come on, now. Everyone knows his dislocated finger is just another cry for attention by T.O. He probably broke it himself to have an exuse just to screw up the team. "It's more the constant distractions. His "over dose" incident, the spiting, the tour-de-france cycling when he was "hurt", etc. And he sure had some kind words for Bledsoe, especially when he got yanked. Let's not forget his own teammates are currently telling him to shut up in the press." Oh please. The over dose incident was ana ccddient that the stupid media used to bahs him some more. And, no, it doidn't effect the team. He didn't distratc the team. I know you use quotations 'cause probably you insinuating that it was an attempted suicide. That's just dumb. The spitting was wrong even if the other guy deserved it. No doubt about it. Still not a distraction. Woopity do dah. He went cycling. WAAA! Why whine about that? Talk about crying over spilled milk. Oh, please. His biggest complaint was he wnated Bledsoe to pass the ball, and that he felt Romo could do better. And, consideirng the fact that nearly everyone in the medai, the team, and here (not me) kept stating over and over again that a QB change should be amde... you somehow make that T.O.'s fault? Give me a friggin' break. And, his own teammates should take their own advice, and shut up in the press. Look in the mirror before you judge others. "Garcia is what, a 3 time pro bowl quarterback? There not replacing McNabb with Joe Blow or something." First off, I personally like Garcia. He's awesome. That said, people trahsed Gracia. They said he was washed up, overrated, and crap. Hell, his teams' own fans cheered when he nearly got crippled and booed when he got back up. Nobody expected the Eagles to do good without McNabb. Why do you think Garcia agreed to sign with Philly as a backup? It's because nobody else really wanted him. Bottom line, her,e is T.O. is an awesome reciever. And, this season, he has not relaly been a distratcion to the team except when the media a susual overblown things. How many times has the Dallas coach told the media that he didn't wnat to talk about non football T.O. related stuff? See.. That's a sure sign that the media wants to attack Ownes instead of actually reporting on the game. The media created T.O. hoopla. There are tons of guys who are 100% worse than T.O. yet nothing on them. I mean... how 'bout the what/ 10 Cinnci polayers who ar ein toruble with the law? or the idiot wqho kicked the player pn the ground? One week (at most) was spent on it then the story was DEAD. People still are whining about the spitting incident; though. *shrug* I think nit's funny you haven't mentioned how many easy passe she's dropped. I even tried to check the NFL website; but no dice. They don't seem to keep track of that stat. I do know he's dropped his share; but I've seen quite a few of those 'credited' drops; and at leats half ar eones where he has like a guy or two draped all over him or it was a very ahrd catch to begin with. To me, a drop is when an easily catchable ball is dropped. Not a missed out miracle catch. LOL

Define 'plenty'. And, he hasn't been a cancer on the Cowboys. He hans't bashed either QB even when they struggled. His only complaint has been pass the ball to him which is well known that ALL receivers wnat the ball thrown to them all the time. LOL Just like any good RB wnats the ball handed off to them. That's the nature of the beast. The spitting incident was wrong; but that's surely not 'cancerous'. The REAL cancer in Philly was/is McNabb. Most overrated *yet* talented QB EVER. He is THE reason why the Eagles lost the SB,a nd multiple Eagles said so not just T.O. LOL LONBG LIVE T.O.! DOWN WITH MCNABB!!!

Trying to be cute doesn't change the fact that T.O. is the best receiver in the game. I don't care if he gets his share of drops. Big woop epsicially since I've watched a lot of Cowboy games this year and some of those 'drops' he was 'credited' for weren't drops; but more like 'no chance catches'.

TO is awesome. Best. reciever. in. the. game. The Eagles were stupid to get rid of him. Choosing McNabb the Cripple over T.O. the Man was dumb. Espicially since Philly has shown they are better with Garcia (lol, another QB that T.O. picked on; but in Garcia's case, T.O. was wrong; He was absolutely correct about whiny momma's boy McNabb though). It's funny though that other than bugging to get the ball thrown to him more this season; T.O. hasn't complained about EITHER QB he's played with this season. *shrug* On the field, T.O. is one of the most hard working, prfoessional athletes in thw world. He's done wone thing I dissaprove of, and that was the spiiting incident from a few weeks ago, and chances are the guy probably asked for it.
