re: Real World Seattle: Bad Blood

This is the first season I haven't watched at all in over 10 years. The casts have gotten more and more unwatchable and trashy. Still will watch any form of the Challenge they put out there though.

It was Manning's fault they gave up a bomb at the very end?
Based on this post I'd imagine we know each other. I know this person from the same hobby you would likely know him from. His FB posts were as entertaining as they were scary. I've never seen someone lose there mind over the course of a few weeks like that. I kept waiting to read he had hurt himself or someone else.
Can someone explain how they knew the girl was a robot or a LMD? It was late when I watched and maybe I just missed something obvious.

The hate for the brother of a murder victim on this board is insane to me. I watched the entire thing and the guy didn't do anything I thought was out of line. He lost his damn sister. Of course he wants the police to catch the person who did it and of course he's happy when he thinks they got a confession and can get some closure on the situation.
The best throwback are by far the Houston Oilers. And it's really not even close. Those are so sweet. I loved them as a kid.
Tampa will be one of my selections in week 1

I'd keep Blue. Martin's line has been bad for two years now and I don't have a lot of confidence that he's all of a sudden turned back the clock to his rookie year. While Blue had a low per carry average last year they kept giving it to him and his overall numbers weren't bad. And there is no guarantee that Foster is coming back anytime soon, and he's always a risk to miss time with soft tissue injuries.
It could help him just from the necessity of throwing more than he had to last year.

This.

It amazes me how many people just don't get how this works.
Been a while since I finished the books and I don't remember some details. What was the deal with hooded man?
You have 4 first round picks and 3 more players that should have gone in either rounds 2 or 3 in most league. You don't get to ask questions. Especially if you think Forte has underperformed in anyway.
Charles
Forte
Bell
Peterson
McCoy (with his line healthy again)

Murray
DT88
Brown
Lacy
Nelson

I don't understand why Peterson is on none of your lists. He's going to be playing somewhere next year and he basically had a year off to stay fresh.

What is the reason a coach can't review in the last 2 minutes? Why was that rule created?


So that a play can still be reviewed even if you are out of TOs or challenges late in the game when it's most important. The rule makes great sense. The execution is poor.

If you have to play 3 WRs and a flex, I might do it.

If you play 2 WRs and a flex, I think it's a toss up.

Watkins as your #3 WR would be better than what you have, and you can use West as your flex. Possibly Sims if he becomes something. It's close though.
Went on my honeymoon there in 2013. Loved it and would definitely go back. The food was better than expected and much better than some other all-inclusive resorts I've been to. Very clean and the staff was relatively helpful. Spa was incredible and I would definitely recommend it. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Make sure you print out confirmation of your dates though. My only complaint was when we got there they said we were a day late and were expecting us to leave a day early. After a discussion that wasn't easy due to some language barrier I was able to get it corrected.

ETA:
If the rock star level is the one that gets the butler then that's what we did. He was very helpful in getting anything booked that we wanted.
Roth +19.65%
Wife Roth +4.57%
SIMP IRA +15.26%
Joint NQ +7.15% (All this acct gains have happened in last 2 months from 2 good biotech trades.)

Energy and Biotech has been good to me this year, but I typically try to stay diversified.
Tried two different sites last year and it wouldn't let you do it in Louisiana.

Unless he throws for 5k the next 4 seasons. Saying without a doubt is just as dumb as easily


Right you want him to do something that has been done less than 10x in history and you want him to do it 4 seasons in a row... all after turning 35.

Not reasonable. Without a doubt needs 4 seasons plus a 5th to get there.
quote:

If he maintains his current pace, Brees could easily catch Favre in 4 years. I don't expect him to keep this pace as he ages, so I don't know if he'll do it in 4, but I do think he can easily eclipse that.


This is just stupid. So you think he can average over 5k yards per season for the next 4 seasons "easily." Normal regression says no chance that happens. He could possibly pass Favre, but he will without a doubt need to play 4 full seasons and a chunk of a 5th to get there. Regardless of what he says about playing into his 40s that is not the norm. And definintely won't be "easy."
quote:

The answer is Forte. You instantly put yourself ahead of every team in the league by a very wide margin at the RB position.


This... I'd take DT if Forte isn't there but it's real close. Forte is clearly your #1 option here.
Ellington. I'm not one that's super high on him, but I like his team, and his skills more than Gerhart. yes he plays in a tough division. Though I think SF Defense regresses this year and isn't nearly as scary.
quote:

I ended up with Ray Rice, Trent Richardson, and David Wilson. Looked great on paper


That's either a lie or you play with morons. If you got stuck with wilson in the second that means either richardson or Rice went in the 3rd?! They were both first rounders last year.
It's been a while since I've finished the books. Can someone remind me about Ygritte's death. Did Jon kill her in the books or did he jsut get glimpses of her while he was on top the tower shooting and find her after? I don't remember how that went down but I know it wasn't like it the show did it.

So I know most of the twenty year olds on this board don't have a clue.


I think you are right.

I'm 29 and my first thought was that he was the guy who owns the Steelers.

No clue who this guy was.

I'm pretty sure most would disagree with your review considering how much money it made and they have now green lit a sequal I believe.
There is so much stupid in this thread. People don't know the difference between the cross bar and upright. 2pt conversation will still be from the 2 or 3 not the damn 20. READ PEOPLE!
Is there anywhere to view this? My DVR didn't get it.

I've seen this called a couple times growing up but ALWAYS when a team was trying to intentionally walk the batter.

How can a guy who can't stay on the field be worth more than a guy who can? Anyone who gives Nicks more than a #2 deal is insane. It doesnt matter how much physical talent he has, he absolutely cannot stay on the field.

figured that was coming but what other board does this question go on?
