Your semantics are semantical. I don't think I spoiled much for someone that did make it through 2 seasons. Nothing important, anyway. Geez, Season 3 was horrible with lots of filler episodes. The best parts were the breakout roles of a couple of new characters. You probably will need Season 6 just to see how it all "ends". But many fans consider the ending of Season 5 the best possible ending to the series.

The G4 network has been running 4 episodes of LOST every Monday night. But G4 is about to flip formats to some kind of men's style channel, so enjoy them while they last.

Polar bears were used in experiments that sent them through negatively charged wormholes. No Mexicans? Well, you had Hurley, his pops Cheech, his mom Super Catholic, his uncle who dropped dead. Paulo was Brazilian, so that's not that far off. Ana Lucia was Hispanic, most likely Puerto Rican. Richard was from the Canary Islands, a territory of Spain. And weren't Cyric and Toro Mexican? At least for the jokes.

Probably gonna need new underwear.

Give her the goon hand.

Even though he are very healthy under the cap, I think there is little to no chance of signing anyone of note in free agency, unless a top of cap room is cleared. There is a lot of young talent on the team, so you better start planning long term as far as signing some players now to manageable contracts to massage the cap, and assume you will be spending a lot of bucks every year to keep the talent going forward. Hell, there are a lot of low round picks making nothing right nwo. This team will have to add and keep going forward via the draft. There is no other way right now.

I'm not disagreeing. Although, for those wondering what Carroll was telling the official after clearly calling a timeout, that's what was going on. I guess my point is that the NFL rules stink, the NFL enforcement of what they perceive to be the rules stink, and the officiating is brutal. Other than that, everything is spiffy.

New York City, the town that elected peter puffer Bloomberg three times. THREE!!! Dear God.

New York, where their casinos and off track betting parlors went out of business. How do you lose money running a gambling operation? New York, where the Manhattan Transit Authority collects tens of millions every day in tolls and fares, and is apparently out of money every year, running huge deficits.

New York is the faggut capital of the United States. What a wormy, weasely, scummy state. Shameful. A state/city that bans salt, fat, sugar, smoking outdoors, encourages marathons during natural disasters, and then dumps a bunch of laws on top of existing laws not being enforced for guns. New York, where you can shoot yourself in the leg and get 2 years in prison. New York, where residents can pay 70% in federal, state, and local taxes, before the other taxes kick in. Parasites. Embarrassing.

Before the Seattle Atlanta game, the officials met with Pete Carroll and Mike Smith and the coaches were told that practice kicks would not be allowed on the field, as a result of the game the prior day in Denver. When Carroll called a timeout to ice the Atlanta kicker with 11 seconds left, Matt Bryant took a practice kick. Carroll turned to the ref and said "What the fock?" And...the officials did nothing.

With recent research, ironically enough, science has confirmed that it's pretty much a fact that a very great flood took place in the Middle East around the time that would have matched up with Noah. A flood and an ark and animals really happened. Worldwide? Who knows. But it's not like people in the Middle East even knew that North America or Antarctica existed. I've seen it repeated in several articles and stories I've come across in the recent past. Don't expect a link, as I can't cite it from work.

What a terrific opportunity for France to lose yet another war. They're training their soldiers how to say "I surrender" in Arabic.

Normally, I am very much in favor in domestic abuse and beating the broad for getting yappy and being ungrateful. In this case, I won't make an exception. Get the brass knucks.

Eh, we've had extraneous threads. Let's get a game thread initiated.

I'm a bit worried because wasn't that the goal of this past draft, to fix the defensive line? Other than Russell Wilson, didn't we draft a lot of defensive players early last year? Got lucky with Bobby Wagner, as he wasn't their target at LB, but he was certainly the correct answer. But the other defensive players were mostly underwhelming. I guess maybe somebody else may come around, like a Golden Tate, after a few years; although with a packed roster, do you have time anymore to wait on players to develop? I don't know. Wilson, Turbin, Sweezey, hey, they hit some offensive players. And I'm rambling. But they never seem to fix the defensive line properly. The roster building overall has been nothing short of breath taking in it's beauty. But that dam defensive line. They've actually regressed from the first year under Carroll with Clemons and Brock both having success with pressure. Look, I have to complain about something. It's my nature.

The horrific aftermath and falling into utter emptiness. This is a novel with the last 10 pages ripped out. The season was not supposed to end like this. Engineering one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history, only to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory, blowing a lead with only 31 ticks left on the clock, and making is look real easy for Matt Ryan. Hey, didn't the Bills win against the Oilers when they pulled off the comeback? Isn't that how this story is supposed to end? Then, a triumphant win over San Fran, then beating New England for the 2nd time this season for the Superbowl? Wasn't this destined? All but for 31 inglorious ticks on the clock. Damn you football gods, for giving me such unbridled hope. This is going to be a very long, yawning chasm of an offseason. I hear the sound of John Locke in LOST saying over and over "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do". That sums up this 2012-13 campaign as appropriately as anything I can come up with. Where does this team go from here? Well, quite possibly looking for a new offensive and/or defensive coordinator. As far as unrestricted free agents, the key players are Jason Jones, Alan Branch, and Leroy Hill, along with Hauschka and a couple of other special teams guys. I'd like to bring back Branch and Jones. Leroy Hill is likely not coming back, but I don't think the starter at his LB spot is currently on the roster. Malcolm Smith isn't that strong. Draft needs? Well, it would be nice to add another WR. Funny how there was concern at the skill set of the wideouts, but as the season progressed, they proved very capable. That's because Rice stayed healthy and on the field, and Wilson became a most accurate thrower. Need some offensive line help to go with Unger and Okung. Clearly, Carpenter and Moffit have not worked out as expected. On defense, like a broken record, I'm begging for DE help. Irvin was underwhelming and will never be anything but a 3rd and long specialist that gets steamrolled on reading plays. Clemons return is highly dubious. You need pass rushers. There was so little pressure on Matt Ryan for an entire game that it made you cringe.

Bad spot, but they gave the Hawks a first down? What the sh!t? Sorry, buddies. I am going internet silent while I pitch a fit at the football gods play by play the rest of regulation. Peace.

Seahawks at their own 40. Nice job, Leon.

3:11 Atlanta punting 4 down territory the rest of the way.

Bad drop, bad chop, bad punt. Fock. Fock. Fock. Need the ball back, buddies.

Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard...

Pretty good field position. Come on, Wilson. They have to be double teaming Miller by now. Go Flacco deep.

3 and out, Bubba.

The 2nd FG goes on Wilson. Eh, let's see what happens the rest of the way.
