If the Cardinals went to Philly, I'd say the same thing... but its an indoor track on the Cards own turf... that makes it a very different game.

The Cards will have the offense to put up more points than the Eagles, but the Eagles have the right defense to come after Warner. If the Eagles can perforate that quietly impressive Cardinal o-line, they'll win. If they can't, they'll lose.

Go back to the first matchup. Arizona had Carolina pretty much beat and hurt themselves in the 4th quarter. Arizona matches up well against the Carolina Defense... it all depends on how the Arizona defense can handle the Carolina run offense...

Laurianitis is a great LB prospect. #1 overall? Don't think so... he's #12 at the highest. 1st pick is either Sam Bradford or Stafford from GA. If you want Laurianitis, then trade down for him.

SW: What the hell, man? The Chargers put up 31 points against the best defense in the league? Last game, Rivers couldn't do anything, and neither cold their run game. Sproles is a cutback runner that's going to be playing on a sludgy, snow filled Heinz Field on Sunday... and they are traveling across country. If they put up more than 10 points, I'll be surprised.

This game will be decided by defense and special teams, and Pittsburgh is better in both regards.

This isn't the Indy run defense they are playing...

I don't mean to sound so matter-of-fact, but no job should require more than 40 hour weeks except for the rare exception. To require someone over 40 hour weeks for five months means I'm either a director or higher, being paid like a director or higher, or not having to work the remaining 7 months.

Work should be giving you a day off during the week or much less hours during the week if they intend on you being in on saturdays.

Just my thoughts...

well, as the title of the article says, this is a gaming box. Quad isn't used in gaming, so you can get a duo with a higher clock speed at that price. They are spending like $200 on an AMD quad. With that price, you can get a top of the line intel at 2.4 or 2.6GHz that you can overclock the crap out of. For games, you need 2 cores and major clock speed, not a quad core and mediocre clock speed.

Budget machine has a quad core? And is almost a grand?

Tom's Hardware does these, and the budget is usually closer to the $600 mark, with the mid range around $1200.

And the fact that they put two optical BD burners on the extreme one (one on each page) makes me think that this article was slapped together instead of fully investigated. Where's the benchmarks? The proof that you built a good machine?

Looks like a buncha kids opened up newegg and built themselves machines in their head...

I was going to say 'parasite', myself...

Believe it or not, Al Davis and the Raiders always try the run and verticle pass offense. It worked wonders in the 80s, and should work now-a-days, but there isn't that many OC's that run the offense, anymore. Norv Turner and Scott Linehan run this type of offense...

Here's your best bet. Granted, I don't expect you to come up with the next big idea while learning to develop code, if you work on your stuff on your own resources and time, they have no rights to your code.

Just don't turn it in as a homework assignment ;)

First of all, the A11 isn't legal in college or the pros, only in high school. It abuses a rule that allows eligible numbers on the line in scrimmage kick formation (punt formation). That loophole doesn't exist in college or the pros.

The spread will not work in the pros. None of the college scheme/trick offenses will. NFL defenses are far too disciplined and fast to crack with it. Put the spread in NFL, you'll see the defense running cover-2, cover-3, and zone blitz that will tear it apart and force a tremendous amount of turnovers. Not to mention how beat up the QBs will be, not to mention the WRs running over the middle.

Nope... no one around here runs it, but, to be honest, I hate it. Its abusing a rule that allows for non-lineman to be on the line when in scrimmage kick formation (punt formation). The rule is there for smaller schools that don't have enough lineman to play in special teams. Now the big schools abuse the rule to make for a trick offense. It doesn't work in college or the pros because they don't have that 'small school' rule in place.

I would almost be willing to throw a flag for devious play (like running to the sidelines claiming the ball is bad only to run down for a touchdown when the defense isn't watching).

But you are right... you need very smart and using proper signals for your line judge and head linesman... cause they get 2 seconds to determine eligibility of receivers...

High School football ends at the end of Oct/early Nov. So I'm not ref'ing at the moment, but will be next year...

While I agree with parent and GameMaster's comments, I must also ask you to proceed with caution. Most companies have it in the contract you sign with them to not do outside work that is similar to your current work without permission. Talk to your boss about doing outside development work... just 'trying it out' can get you fired from the stable job you have now.

If you really want to try contract work, get in a contract company. If you live in the midwest, I can get you a job with my contracting firm. Usually the job is pretty stable, and they handle your insurance and other headaches that freelance work brings...

That's not saying much (I think Cassell is just a product of the system, too, btw)

While I don't see the Raven's making it all the way on a rookie QB, your flips are definitely not out of the question!
