It's on. So far, all the lower seeds are up 2-1 on the higher seeds this round.

Nice. Didn't notice this.

I like Brandon Adler's intro.

Glad about Agent Carter. Not looking good for Constantine.

I enjoyed Starfleet Academy, especially the Balance of Terror scenario. Will probably pick these up. Also will be waiting on Starfleet Command.

How long of a suspension do you think Brady gets in addition to the fines and/or loss of draft picks they hit the team with? That's what Vegas and at least one unnamed degenerate gambler/Obsidian boardie would like to know. http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25176523/tom-brady-suspension-coming-vegas-books-stop-taking-pats-steelers-bets Don't know how Tagliabue is going to play this one out after the fallout from Ray Rice. Go with precedent in protecting a megastar, or overcompensate from the backlash and go all Kenesaw Mountain Landis on the guy.

What exactly is your definition of a point forward? A forward who picks up a lot of assists? A post player who acts as a funnel or nexus point in a scheme is not necessarily a point forward. Guys like Griffin, Duncan, Shaq, Garnett, Chris Webber, Charles Barkley fit this archetype. Great passers out of the high/low post finding the open shooter or cutter, but are not dominant ballhandlers who facilitate the offense. To me, a true point forward is a wing or a smaller big who can act as a primary or secondary ballhandler in both transition or in the half court. We're talking about Scotty Pippin, Toni Kukoc, Larry Bird, Marques Johnson, Paul Pressey, Anthony Mason, Lebron James, Andre Iguodala, and Billy Owens. No.

Vegas Odds as of 5/4/15 at Bovada. 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - PRESIDENT OF THE USA ODDS Hillary Clinton 13/10 Jeb Bush 4/1 Scott Walker 10/1 Marco Rubio 12/1 Elizabeth Warren 14/1 Rand Paul 14/1 Chris Christie 18/1 Ben Carson 33/1 Bobby Jindal 33/1 Martin O'Malley 33/1 Ted Cruz 33/1 Joe Biden 40/1 Kirsten Gillibrand 40/1 Andrew Cuomo 50/1 Bob McDonnell 50/1 Deval Patrick 50/1 Jim Webb 50/1 John Kasich 50/1 Mark Warner 50/1 Michael Bloomberg 50/1 Paul Ryan 50/1 Rick Santorum 50/1 Condoleeza Rice 66/1 Rahm Emanuel 66/1 Rob Portman 66/1 Susana Martinez 66/1 Al Gore 100/1 Donald Trump 100/1 George Clooney 100/1 Michelle Obama 150/1 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - WINNING PARTY Democratic Party -200 Republican Party +160 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - GENDER OF WINNER Male -165 Female +125 Hillary is the heavy deep favorite at 13/10 and a Democrat taking the oval office is essentially getting 2 to 1. Of course, based on male vs female, it's the field that's getting the favorite treatment vs. Hillary. Still, Republicans are getting decent value at +160. You'd be getting the worst of it to bet on Hillary Clinton at 13/10 and Democrats at -200. I wouldn't even touch the gender "lines" either way. -165 and +125 is garbage value for both. Lols @Bernie Sanders not even getting listed.

Lols. His headband mojo is approaching Cliff Robinson levels.

Is this for real? It's a joke. http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/5/8552979/avengers-black-widow-****-shaming-jeremy-renner Get a grip.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/long-awaited-deflate-gate-investigation-implicates-pats--tom-brady-173408354.html Tom Brady and Bill Belicheat are one and the same.

Huh. Memphis took one at Oracle. Gotta give some dap to Mike Conley and Tony Allen. They balled tonight.

I think I clicked on the right button.

Toto FINALLY gets theIr deserved Grantland longform treatment. http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/q80s-totos-dave-paich-on-writing-and-recording-africa/

Cool. The one true MVP this season was correctly awarded the MVP. And his name ain't James.

...and I thought Warriors playoff tickets broke my budget...

Round 2 Warriors vs Grizzlies. Golden State in 5. Vegas put the line for the Warriors at -1160(!!) to win the series. Yikes. Rockets vs Clippers. LA in 6. Hawks vs Bullets. Atlanta in 6. Cavaliers vs Bulls. Cleveland in 7. Clippers vs Spurs was a classic first round series. Good entertaining basketball. Clutch plays from both sides and the requisite whining and flopping from Doc, Griffin, and CP3 --solidifying their place as the least likable team in the playoffs.

I'm not sure what you people mean when you say that this fight was overhyped. From reports and what I'm hearing, the promotion of this "fight off the century" was that this was actually under-hyped and not optimally promoted. At least that's what Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya are asserting. Of course, they were essentially shut out by Mayweather's group so there's significant butthurt from that... Still, lots of folks are happy and the business was lucrative --especially for Vegas. Lots of action all around behind the cage and plenty of bets going against the house --even last minute with Pacquiao at +170. Personal misgivings aside, Mayweather is still an all time great fighter and an absolute clinician between the ropes. This fight solidifies his legacy and in many ways legitimizes his 48-0 record. And Pac is still a national treasure in the PI with hundreds of millions - if not billions firmly backing him. I watched the fight at a house with 20 others (including rabid Filipinos) for a good day of sports --beginning with the ridicule of the NFL Draft, to the Kentucky Derby, then the Clippers upset of the Spurs, and capped with Main bout itself. Excellent day for prop bets all around.

Bruce, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned what a misogynist Mayweather is. http://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-domestic-violence-history-2015-4

Vegas originally had the line with Pac as a 5 to 1 underdog on announcement to get action on Pac, but tightened up to a more sensible Mayweather as 2 to 1 favorite. I almost bit with Mayweather at -201 yesterday but decided against it as I couldn't stand betting on the wifebeating scumbag, let alone putting $$ on a favorite. Pac was at +170, which my heart wanted me to still take, knowing full well it's a fool's bet.

Speaking of Sawyer... http://gamasutra.com/view/news/241669/Novelty_out_of_nostalgia_Josh_Sawyer_on_Pillars_of_Eternity.php Looks like he's back.

I thought Gaider was pretty upfront with Rylock if I recall. But that was his handle for non-Bio boards. ...Waiting on a long line of Obsidian dev alts proclaiming "I am Spartacus!"

Is this a new theory or something you've been suspecting for a while now...regarding a specific alt? There goes my Josh is trolling us with Volo theories...
