I think I'm going to call it.

Maybe some waffles and oatmeal if he's lucky.

Bagels, single serving cereal, probably a couple apples and bananas.

Come on, triple kill!

I'm not convinced yet.

I think Jubi should be voted out for lack of participation. It would be more interesting to get down to four or five guys who are actually doing something.

According to two sources, suspended guard Richie Incognito and at least one other player mocked the ethnic background of a team staff member and made crude jokes about the staff member’s wife. According to one of the sources, Incognito would sometimes dress in garb from the staff member’s culture and then make profane jokes about that culture.
He dressed up! You have to admire the effort.

Idiots.

so who are the resume experts in here? I just revamped mine all to hell and I need some advice. I'm assuming the machine would be good here but I'm not sure I could trust his opinion after I lobbied to get him voted off the forum...
Screw you, for sure.

He was talking about the first part of yesterday's podcast. It was terrible and pointless and I can't believe they did however many segments on it. Seriously, it was 35 minutes of awful (with a little bit of deplorable).

Wait a minute, I live in Atlanta!
-
Your mamma's house?
That explains why he needs more beer.

Wait, both of you guys are in Atlanta right now?

Let's see how quickly we can axe Shake.

Well, partly because of the passing thing.
But it seemed like the extent of his research was:
1. Looks at career numbers.
2. The end.
Although he probably didn't even do that.
He discounts Love's numbers this year because "SAMPLE SIZE!" but apparently ignores that two years ago he put up an entire season of 26/13. Last year he missed almost the whole year and now that he's playing again, he's improved upon his numbers from two years ago.
I think Dan Patrick lost Dan's attention when he started talking about all the intangible stuff, but he had the key point. Love is trending upwards, while Dwight has likely already peaked three years ago. So if you have two guys who have almost the exact same PER and one guy is improving while the other guy is not, why wouldn't you take Love?
He also does a bit of a rhetorical trick as he likes to call it by saying that they're only two years apart, but it only looks that way because Love just turned 25 and Dwight's birthday isn't until next month. So it's really a lot closer to three years and those three years are the most important three years. Love is entering his prime while Dwight is exiting it.
And it's weird that he's trying to ignore a 90+ game sample because he was recovering from injury last year (the entire year?) and is learning a new system this year.
Now, after saying all that, I do agree with his point that it's splitting hairs between the two of them.

To be fair, you're losing to a guy who's confused by a puppy AND SEVEN OTHER GUYS

It's a winking puppy.

Great, so everyone's like, "okay, I'll just vote NickCave until somebody persuades me to hate someone else more. He'll be there next round."
-
Who did TommyGavin vote for in rounds 1 and 2?
Voting wasn't public until round 3.
I think a lot of times your name is a place holder for votes until a favorite emerges and the group swarms. So you always have multiple votes, but a lot of those don't stick.
