If you want to see if you're computer can handle it you can download the game for free and play 3 missions as well as some extra skirmishes, and infinite games against one AI opponent who's difficulty adjust to your skill.

But you'll probably just get pissed at all the stuff they haven't fixed for the last 5 years.

Please don't buy into this garbage. It's a major event in a major city there is going to be visible security there. Some fool was screaming at the city's briefing about this and how it was an inside job to take away the last of people's liberties. Just disgusting that not even 12 hours go buy and people are already constructing conspiracy theories. From the interview with the surgeon I think the ball bearings maybe bad information as well. He said they were removing shrapnel and there was no way for the surgeons to tell if it was just debries from the blast or came from the bomb. Seems like just another case of the media hearing something "sensational" and running with it as fact when it's anything but at that point. Like Walks said this is one of the reasons why I absolutely hate them at times.

Not really surprising. In the square everybody dropped everything and ran more than likely. And everyone is going to be hypersensitive right now.

Don't know for sure. Some guy on CNN keeps saying if it was a hydrogen peroxide bomb then it could be linked to AQ, but that's about it. Boston PD said they had no credible threats leading up to the marathon.

It might be an experiment at targeting soft targets. The potential scaling is troubling. Seems like odd timing to do it at the end of the race. That's where the majority of people will be gathered...

Even if it was his fault he played pretty well the entire game I think and was really good for the whole year. People are just dumb sometimes. True. I also should have added that it depends on what the call was on a specific play. Perhaps the safety was exactly where he was supposed to be. Yeah, I wish I could remember what Bo said. Some people were saying he was actually playing it correctly the LB or whoever had the coverage screwed up. All I know for sure is Bo was pretty disappointed that people were remembering him for that one play and not his overall body of work.

Even if it was his fault he played pretty well the entire game I think and was really good for the whole year. People are just dumb sometimes.

Some kids are just football smart and get it right away and others just never do. They may be smart kids, but they can not pick up the Xs & Os In HS, they compete with a few good players and now in college, they are all good and several are great. As far as defense, we have not had a great safety since Brown. Like offense, you need great QB on defense. This means high football IQ. Bullocks, Bullocks, O'Hanlon, Asante, Gomes, Hagg? you know somebody is going to bring up the VAtech game now...

If Coach K could figure out a way to consistently get to and past the final four he could make some impressive records since his guys usually stick around for more than a year.

But they love a good emotional story...

Well I did quit buying their games that suck donkey you know what such as medal of honor, NCAA football, and fight night but it's a pretty diverse company and some of the games like the battlefield series are pretty exceptional. I think most people buy the games because they think EA is self conscious enough to know they are doing a carppy job and maybe they improved upon it. But given their current track record as long as they make a buck I think they could care less about quality of the product.

Gracias!

That's a joke right?

sh*t, i missed it... if anyone could link it... Yeah that would be nice. Was at the bar and couldn't hear it, looked like a pretty solid ESPN piece though. No matter what you think of ESPN they're pretty good at the humanity side of sports stories.

I remember a game in the last 4 or 5 years where is was fairly windy and the ballons didn't leave for a good 5 or 10 minutes. About once a year some of them will blow back down towards the field on a windy day. But with predominatley western winds in Nebraska they probably will be butting up against the east expansion now.

Other than the felony, that might hurt later in life.

You keep saying it's not that difficult, but like anything you get better with experience. Obviously pure physical abilities (i.e. size, speed, stength, agility) are a major part of playing on the line, especially strength and size, but there's a lot more to it than contain and pressure. The new guys should have the physical talent but they are lacking in the gameday experience and everything that comes with it. Just a taste of what it's like for a D linemen off the snap. Recongnize the block as either a run block or pass block. If it's a pass type block or you're released check inside and make sure you're not about to get blown up on a trap play. If you're chipped or released too easily recongize that it's probably a screen. If you're man pulls get on his hip and follow him to the ball carrier. If it's a run block attack the V of the neck and locate the ball and maintain your gap. That's everything I can remember from high school football and it all happens in about a second. I'm sure there's a lot more to know at the college level. You can be told all this and tested out on it, but the only way you're going to be any good at it is by getting physical game time experience, which they are lacking.

She's taken... http://www.usatoday....-diddy/2070121/

Or during a championship run, in say '97.

We're talking about Devin Gardner not Braxton Miller. I'm pretty sure if they lean on Miller again like they did last year he'll be out at least one game during the season and, unless it's early in the year, nowhere near 100% come CCG time. Michigan is going to more than likely have growing pains transitioning but Gardner is a pretty solid QB and that is always scary.

Where's his chinstrap at?

No one's saying it's evil, a lot of really cool advancements have been made because of splicing. But when it comes to consumer health and safety don't you think they have a right to know if something could be potential harmful to them? I agree that anecdotal stories shouldn't be used as a basis for claims of health risks, but when you have so few studies about the issue where else can you draw your evidence from?

Several things. First, plants do not have to be altered with animal or bacterial DNA in order to be called GMO. For example, if I studied drought resistance in plants and was able to identify 3 genes in millet that make it so exceptionally drought tolerant, I could theoretically integrate those genes into the genome of corn and make corn exceptionally drought tolerant. This would be a GMO crop, but almost certainly would be a good thing. So the scare tactics about GMOs are meant to bypass reason, and ignite hysteria. Second, we have been genetically modifying organisms for thousands of years, by selecting the most fit crops or livestock and mating. Creating new, stronger breads of horses, for example, or increasing yields on corn. This is the high tech version. And yes, there are drawbacks at times, round-up resistant weeds are a fine example. However, the issue you listed is with the new herbicides being used, not the GMO crop itself. Third, always, always, always cite the study you are referring to. Fourth, a real world example of a GMO fish, where the only thing done was to alter Atlantic salmon with a gene that helps production of a growth hormone in Chinook Salmon, in order to decrease time to market: http://www.nytimes.c...wanted=all&_r=0 Those are all good points to keep in mind Junior, but as mabrown pointed out genetically modified can also mean splicing genes from other plants and animals. That's were the biggest concern is with GMOs. There just isn't enough research out there right now to make any kind of conclusion about the safety risk of eating those types of foods. However there are some personal accounts from people having reactions to food they have no business being allergic to only to find out it was some kind of GMO.
