Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

What are the power rankings right now on ESPN?
The Onion had better rankings.

For example under NFC West - The 49rs:
"Player To Watch: Veteran Brian Westbrook is always a threat to explode into a cloud of ligaments and bone"
Which follows from the NFC East - The Eagles:
"Weakness: With the loss of Brian Westbrook, the Eagles have a major hole at starting knee injury and concussion"
I LOL'd so loud at work. I think I scared the guy in the office next to me.
I love the Raiders:
Strength: Just nice to see them outside getting some fresh air
Weakness: As a team, every single player on this roster fucking sucks
and this is great for the Chargers:
Weakness: Nate Kaeding purposely kicks field goals wide right or left, as he hates football
That is a quality preview.
EDIT: Strength: Head coach Gary Kubiak is more than living up to his nickname as "The John Elway's Backup Of Coaching"; if quarterback Matt Schaub continues to improve at the rate he did between 2007 and 2009, he will throw for 6,000 yards and 90 touchdowns this year
HAHAH DUAL EDIT FOR THE BILLS:
Player To Watch: Starting quarterback Trent Edwards. Wait, him again? God, these guys are so fucked
XBLGT:Banzeye SC2: Apollo.394
Dallas Cowboys
Strength: Yes, there are positives, but reading them will only make you angry and listing them will only make us angry
Weakness: Other than being the most infuriating, knuckle-whitening, I-want-to-throw-a-brick-through-my-television-set-when-I-watch-them team in the league, are a little weak at free safety
Intangibles: Fuck the Dallas Cowboys and every fucking thing they stand for; special teams
Biggest Question: Can they finally get over the hump and get back to the Super Bowl, and do they know how much that would depress the entire U.S. populace?
Almost lost my shit
"Intangibles: City loves the team and all, but would gladly sacrifice every Saints win for functional houses and an oil-free Gulf
Biggest Question: Can the Saints play well enough to reinvigorate the job outlook and restore industry to a broken and defeated metropolitan area?"
bah-zing
Biggest Question: Why is this consistently excellent team so unbelievably boring to watch?
