The Chiefs are going to find out just how raw of a deal they got much the same way the Cardinals found out when they got Kevin Kolb.


Yeah, I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

"Hmmm.  We like how the Eagles have been run for close to a decade.  I wonder if we can get in on some of that hot fail-on-fail action."

WayLANder.   Close though. 

They do have in common the fact that they're both dead, so the confusion is understandable.

We know it sucks...working on it, but sadly there is bigger things that need TLC than the DDO website. We are on the list, but not at the top.

Stealing signals--dumbass, everyone EVERYONE does it. 
Spygate was about an illegal camera placement, not as people seem to think about stealing signals. You think teams stopped that? Why do smart coaches change them week to week? Ever hear about Miami figuring out Brady's cadence and calls by watching Monday Night Football the week before? Ever hear of George Halas having private investigators go through other people's trash to steal plays? How about the Cowboy's intercepting the radio calls from the Browns offense? What about Every smart baseball player on second base that tries to steal the catchers signals? Little Leaguers steal signals. My son knows 3 different signal systems to use to avoid signal stealing. It's part of the game.

Aaron Hernandez-watch how fast he is thrown out by the fan base here...unlike say Pittsburgh or Baltimore with the rapist and the other murderer. I've watched the Kraft's cut people for far less legal infractions. Gronk is one of a kind...Hernandez is good, but not a HoF TE, and it shouldn't matter. If he is found guilty, he should be immediately cut. Hell, I'd dump him for staining the name on the front of the jersey with his mickey mouse bullshit. Or trade him to the Jets or some other dumb organization.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

Marvin Lewis seems to be doing a pretty decent job despite having to answer to the ABSOLUTE WORST owner in the NFL - Mike Brown.

This is the truth.  The Bengals claim it's ok to have 5 people on their scouting staff instead of the 10 that EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE CARRIES because they want the assistant/position coaches to be a part of the scouting process.  This yields better results.  Do they have more assistan/position coaches so that the coaches have the time to do this scouting?  NO.  Is the real reason because Mike Brown is a CHEAP BASTARD and a DISGRACE to one of the GREATEST COACHING NAMES  in NFL history?  Yes.  Resounding Yes.

Today I put together a list of the 27 NFL players arrested since Super Bowl 47.

Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and the Raiders all have three of them.  Coincidentally, three of those four teams had bad losing records.  Only Chicago had a winning record.  This might imply that character does account for something in the NFL.

I want to give a special Darwin Award to Cliff Harris.


I have the players name, their PRO Team(s), and their college.  Oklahoma has two players on the list with another one from Central Oklahoma.


Aaron Hernandez Patriots Florida  GUILTY


Ausar Walcott Cleveland Virginia


Titus Young Detroit Boise State


Jason Peters Eagles Arkansas


Pacman Jones Bengals again West Virginia


Joe Morgan Saints a DUI  Illinois and Walsh


Mike Goodson Raiders Texas A&M


Armonty Bryant Cleveland a DUI  just drafted but he was arrested in college too East Central OK


Daryl Washington Arizona TCU


Cliff Harris   EAGLES Oregon   booted off of Oregon  He is a smart one

Definitely the Darwin Award winner

Harris was arrested May 3, 2013, outside a restaurant for domestic harassment. He was seen and heard arguing with his girlfriend in the restaurant and pushing her outside. The girlfriend did not press charges and Harris was released on bail.  Days later, Harris was cited for speeding, passing in a no-passing zone, and driving without a license on his way to his court appearance. He told the deputy he was running late for his court appearance, and the deputy called the court to notify them of the situation, allowing extra time. When he did not appear on time for the adjusted appointment, the judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Harris did eventually appear in court, and was arrested upon arrival.

In college, when arrested for speeding, and no license, and marijauna and the officer asked who has the marijauna he replied, "We smoked it all"




Claude Davis  JETS USF BUlls


Rolando McClain   Raiders  Alabama


Ronnell Lewis  Detroit Oklahoma


Quentin Groves Cleveland Auburn


William Moore Falcons  Missouri


Amari Spivey Detroit Iowa


Trumaine Johnson St Louis  DUI Montana


Brandon Barden Bears Oregon State DUI


Evan Rodriguez  Bears&Dolphins Temple DUI


Cody Grimm Tampa Bay  Virginia Tech  a drunk


Javarris James Arizona  Miami Hurricanes


Quinton Carter Denver Oklahoma case dismissed after he paid off his gambling debts, he cheats at gambling


J'Marcus Webb Bears West Texas A&M


Desmond Bryant Raiders&Cleveland  Harvard


Al Netter 49ers  Northwestern DUI


Da'Quan Bowers Tampa Bay Clemson  took a gun through the airport


Michael Boley NY Giants&Falcons Southern Miss Child Abuse

Maj Mal :

Just make a note for monday morning :

Tell the fuckers that think Clerics have been fixed by adding a new tree that they are wrong.
Clerics are a dead class if the enhancement come live that way, nobody will be playing to play a nannybot, despite the new tree.

The Powers that be have to understand the following :
- The Protection Tree HAS TO GO, PERIOD. It is The weakest Link. Just put it at the bottom of the trash pile and forget about it.

- A tree to replace protection will be a great plus, but it is not mandatory

- Wasted points Have to go, right now at Enhancements take 2, I wasted, yes wasted 18 points on unwanted enhancements in the Radiant Servant tree alone.
The best way to do that is to make the point tiering by calculating overall points spent and not points spent by tree, This bit is true for ALL the trees of ALL the classes.

- There is too many active shit, no more than 2 by tree, and if you can go all passive it's even better. We are not chimps that can play with our hands and our feets, Right now the typical cleric is already running with 12+ bars, Adding active things is beyond retarded, as we already have too many clickies to manage, We are NOT going to take them.

I'll make a more politically correct post tomorrow on the main forum, but right now, from how things are going, you can look at a lot of persons leaving permanently for NWO just because of the enhancement pass.

Edit : so Basically what we were told that the Enhancement pass was Set is Stone and that NOTHING would change except a few tweaking appears to be right.
Ah Sure, as a Hjealbot even my gimpiest cleric will be better... but I don't want to be JUST a Hjealbot.

MajMal:

I concur. Too many fucking clickies. My Bard now plays like a monk, except I'm the one standing there stunned and getting the shit kicked out of me.

A Sorc stands around looking like an idiot reject from the Village People for 6 seconds total (It's fun to stay at the Y..M..C...A.....) and then completes the fucking quest.

A Bard has to keep a herd of retarded, mouth breathing, zerging fuckwits in a 15 meter radius for 6 seconds PER BUFF. That need to be reapplied every 6 minutes at best.
Inspire Competence going from 15 seconds to 4 minutes was cool. All the new shit is over before an ADHD crackhead on speed could get bored with it. Capstone that gives a 12 second buff? That's over before Arkat even has time to screw the top off the Viagra, let alone ejaculate prematurely.


Without exaggeration, myself and 2 friends were regularly completing Impossible demands in less time TOTAL than it takes the bards to give out a set of buffs. Just the mass buffs. No one else but me gets the single target ones.
(Side note, I'd run Bargain of Blood more if it wasn't for the pathetically small chance to find the 2 things I need for an Epic Elyd Edge so at least then the single buffs could mass)

I agree and disagree. 

Disagree:

The new tree is much better than anything clerics have on live.  DC bumps and universal spell power are solid additions. 

Agree:

The protection tree is stupid and should be scrapped.  I'd rather have two trees that at least have some redeeming value rather than a three where one is a total waste.  Stay with 2 until you add a melee tree. 

I also agree that the point costs are too damn high (where's the meme?) and clickies suck.  90% of these should be passive. 

Disagree:  People will leave to play NWO.  NWO is not making any friends.  People who want non-heal bot clerics will not find a home there.  People may leave the game, but saying they will go to NWO because DDO doesn't have enough build options would be like saying that people will change their favorite player from Chad Johnson to Aaron Hernandez because they don't like rooting for players who are not good, law-abiding people.

Nobody thinks NWO is a more flexible build/character development game than DDO, even if you hate the enhancement pass.

The enh pass is a half assed version of rift's character building. 

Here's a link to a rift build so you can see what I mean

http://riftplaneleveling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Talent-tree-rift-rogue-l...

3 tree's the bottom section is auto grants based on points spent in tree.

Here's the thing though rift has had a few years to polish this system while turbine is going to turbine it.  Honestly with rift being f2p if turbine wants to make their build system a copy of rifts players are probably better off playing rift.  Similar p2w and f2p options,  the only difference is different classes and rift uses the trinity system for grouping.

DDO survives because of it's build system niche,  ditching that just hurts things.

Oh, I don't think NWO is flexible in char development... NWO is Definitely NOT Flexible, it's integral to 4th Ed, and that's what killed it in PnP. ( as well as the feeling that it was an MMO ruleset ported on paper )
NWO is NEW, that's what makes it attractive, people will go there, level 2 toons to 60, see it's trash, and then move on.
I've got a friend that went back to playing Operational Art of War because he didn't like the path DDO was taking, and I'm starting to spend more and more time in Civilization V and Colonization....

The Enhancement Crash, with the Stupid Points in Tree mechanism will kill half of the flexibility we have in DDO.... It won't take long to see the must have perfect trees appear on websites like the wiki, and PUG selection will be done according to this, like PUG selection is done on CON and Hitpoints.
