I heard the gameplay for MSG5 is awesome, but what I loved most about MSG early in the series was its in depth storyline. Reviews said MSG5's story was weak, which disappointed me. The production value for the game is so high, with a solid voice cast, that one would expect a movie-type story. I will not be getting MSG5.

Do we want Putin to have the "gull" to do something? Russia is already hit so hard with trade sanctions that it is in this position on the cusp of having nothing to lose. That type of antagonism is counterproductive for peace and is dangerous for everyone in the world. As far as what Russia can do, you start seeing political plays like these: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/putin-pushes-back-russia-responding-175300265.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=tw http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN0TE1WL20151125?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews http://asbarez.com/142209/armenia-must-liberate-its-western-territories-says-russian-politician/ http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-turkey-jet-visa-travel-agreement-2015-11?utm_content=buffer7d047&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer Maybe insignificant, but history tells us even seeds of ideas for struggling nations can be dangerous. In regard to the attachment you posted: I understand the point, but what we have to understand is that Syria is a sovereign nation. Assad is no saint by any means, but the country is a unitary republic that has promoted religious tolerance that is significantly better than other areas in the Middle East. While Assad has employed questionable actions, in regards to human ethics, to fight rebels that are threatening Syria's government, you have to consider this area of the world. Whether it's right or wrong, the closest thing to peace in the Middle East has always been at the hands of a ruthless iron fist. The Ottoman Empire, the Persians, even the Soviets controlling its areas of Eurasia. I'd even argue that the part of the world was a safer place when Saddam Hussein was in power. Looking back, he was merely dealing with unrest the same way any other dictator in the Middle East had for the last thousand years, albeit with current technology (which maybe we are to blame for that). And now Assad is doing the same thing and we are on the verge of making the same exact mistake we made in Iraq. What is happening in Syria is a tragedy. Is there some sort of moral obligation to go in there to help? I don't know. But we still don't know the magic formula on how to fix the Middle East, and thus we do not know the unintended consequences of any actions we take. We also have to respect the sovereignty of the Syrian government, whether we like them or not. And use diplomacy to work out any issues, instead of creating more wars by arming rebels.

Gave in and bought the Witcher 3. It was $40 on Amazon, as a fan of the second games and books, I couldn't resist. I plan to get started this weekend after my exams.

Off topic, but I saw this tweet and thought you'd like to hear this: @Olsen_Don: I have heard the NFL is trying to get the Ravens into Dublin, due to the city's large Irish population, and possibly 2018. I know Dan Rooney was U.S. ambassador to Ireland. I wonder if the NFL would do a Steelers-Ravens game in Dublin?

At this point if we stay in the top 5 DBs Jalen Ramsey from FSU and Vernon Hargreaves from Florida seem to fill both need and value.

What a depressing topic

Perriman done for the year. Such an odd situation, you hope for the kid's sake this is nothing chronic/long-term/debilitating.

Including Flacco? Just curious if you've changed your stance on whether or not we should draft a QB with a top pick.

That is one of the things that has been drastically improved in this year's version.

Lol I never grew out of being a wrestling fan. The wrestling games have been great since 2K sports took over. 2K15 was good, but it was the first game on the next generation consoles, so it was very much an incomplete effort. 2K16 is excellent and really builds upon what was started in 2K15. The next game I want to get into is Witcher 3. I've read some of the books and loved Witcher 2 (beat it). However, the time commitment for Witcher 3 seems enormous. I'm hesitant to start.

@TDavenport_NFL: Watched three Laquon Treadwell games last night. More I watch him, the more I see the Michael Crabtree resemblance . @TDavenport_NFL: Treadwell and Crabtree have same release at the line, both have strong hands to make catches in traffic and run well after catch.

I really enjoyed the Navy-Memphis game. Navy is very good this year. Coach Ken is the perfect fit for that team. Reynolds is a special young man.

Currently playing WWE 2K16 for X1.

Really solid low risk, potential reward pickup. Could be a good match for both parties.

This whole discussion is irrelevant. It's obvious Joe is going to lead us to eight straight wins and get us in the playoffs at 10-6, then win a game on the road like he always does.

I wish I could find the clip, but speaking of the wiggles, Ross showed off some serious quickness on his first down catch. Caught the ball with his back to the defender, looked like he was going to be tackled for sure, did a juke with his back still to the defender, shook him, turned to the sideline and got the first down. Really impressive YAC.

Agreed. Withers did a great job as DC of both UNC and OSU, and coached UNC to a winning record as an interim head coach. However, this wouldn't be a sexy hire that the boosters are expecting.

Memphis-Navy this week should be exciting. Navy is very good this season and has their own stud at QB. If Memphis can get past Navy then Memphis-Houston is going to be a big matchup of non-P5 undefeated teams that could throw a wrench into the playoff system.

@jeffzrebiecsun: Harbaugh said that Brent Urban is healthy, will return to practice soon. He's on IR w designation to return. Even if the season is lost I am hoping young guys like Urban, and even Perriman, can get some quality reps.

Flacco and Givens are going to start connecting really soon. Givens has been getting open. They connected for a big gain this past week. The TD is coming the opportunities are there.

@DanWolken: Name I'm hearing could be in play at Maryland: JMU's Everett Withers. Knows the Big Ten.

Jimmy Smith looks really gimpy running. Should he even be playing?

Reading some scouting reports say there are concerns about Treadwell's explosiveness, which like Tim said, might make Treadwell a top 15 pick instead of a top 5 pick like Amari Cooper. Reports cite his subpar performance against Florida, which has NFL-caliber prospects in its secondary.

Wow what strong hands and an incredible concentration. He pretty much caught that with his finger tips despite the DB batting at the ball. We need this kid in purple.
