and arnie's next pick is... drums rolling lol

Am I making the pick now or should I wait until Arnie gives me a go ahead? If I'm making the pick I'll need some time to look at his team.

I need to pull out for a week Who can take over, grim

Okay. No problem. I'll do it for you.

I have work at 4. Who wants my pick in case I can't make it myself?

Send it over. I'll be here off and on today. I'll try to check frequently for your pick

Thanks. I had totally forgotten about him and when I saw he was left, I had to take him over the other guys I were considering.

I recommended him to one person who asked me about safeties. Lol. Poor them. He's one of the best left easily IMO.

Great pick with Quin. One of the best players left by far. I was wondering when he would be off the board.

I love the way people rate players. That's my favorite part of this entire process. It's really fun to see how others rate.

Up is one of the best movies I've ever seen from an animated perspective. It's brilliant. I don't think the story was great but the characters and plot development were remarkable IMO

Verner is a solid No. 2 CB, if I wasn't already set at CB he would have been on my list of guys to pair with Gilmore.

I also like the Fred Davis pick, he's still coming back from injury so there is risk there, but he was pretty good in the passing game. IMHO he's make a great TE2 if your first guy is a decent block, kinda how Gronk and Hernandez were before they fell apart here recently

I like Davis too but not right now. Honestly I would have taken a TE I signed in our other mock as well as Peyton's pet or The Legend as a complement. I wouldn't have taken them yet because I don't see the value but that would've been my strategy.

I kept names hidden to protect the innocent.

I don't know how I feel about these recent picks. The best one by far is Verner

Grim, please be at ease my friend - I'm actually one of the people advocating patience around both fantasy games as a full-grown up child that I am lol

We're all in this together lol

also gave you a +1 like friends always do lol

I'm not mad at you buddy. That wasn't me mad. I would have told you in private if I was truly mad. I was using your post to make a blanket statement.

Don't let people get under your skin.

It's a game. Patience, my friends.

Sorry for my delay, though. I was out last night and didn't get the message until this morning.

Nobody's under my skin. I'm not angry. You haven't seen angry.

what do you mean "if" - there's no way this flies back to gabe so quick as much as i've tried lol

I know you're excited to pick and recognize the frustration you must feel when you Europeans trust in others by giving them your picks so you can keep this moving when you're asleep. I get that.

With that said the constant talk about people taking a while needs to stop. If it doesn't I'm not reading or spectating here anymore. I blocked someone already because they got on my nerves and I didn't feel like reading their responses.

Some of you need to grow up. There comes a point where it's not funny if it's meant to be a joke and becomes whining.

Also the Americans need to remove this double standard around here and use the buddy system more for those in Europe. These picks aren't some military secret.

what do you mean "if" - there's no way this flies back to gabe so quick as much as i've tried lol

You never know.

If anyone wants to send me their picks I'm fine with it. I have Gabe's so if we don't get to him before he leaves I'll be posting them for him.

It doesn't matter...NBA fantasy draft...wrong thread.

Oh. I thought he was referring to the last game we played and made a mistake when he said NBA. I see now.

Really wanted ike taylor. He's one of the best steelers defenders.

Sam acho I don't get the love he's getting. He's a liability on that cardinals defense.

I like Sam Acho as a complement at LOLB. I think if you have a good ROLB he's good. I do agree though.

I never got into Family Guy, never was that funny to me

Agreed. I think it's very overrated. I like Futurama much more

I hope so, it is such a funny show imo.

Better than the new Family Guy.

ohh yeah Marchetti would be next in line, but this young one is going to open some more eyes soon - Mattia Perin

ps: Buffon seems to me very slow lately; don't get me wrong, he's still got it, but as you say he's a Ray Lewis at this moment in time - his knowledge of the game is what makes him so good still...

I should know a little bit about this thing, was a goalie in my youth days lol - the guy who was the main goalie at my age group at the club, back in those times, grew up to be goalie for Romania - Bogdan Lobont, his name is

That's pretty cool. I like Mattia. I just am not sure if he can replace Buffon but I feel better about him. He's got youth.

It just sucks we'll be losing Buffon soon. I'm sure the next world cup is his last.

It's not pretty doing it the italian way lol

I actually thought about that during the game. Do you have a good young goalie prospect? Noone came to my mind

Marchetti is my guess since he's done it they most for the Azzurri. He's the incumbent backup. I'm not sure about our youth. It's really untested. I'm very concerned in that regard. There are a few names but it's like replacing Ray Lewis in his prime or Ed Reed with Jameel McClain or Bernard Pollard. You know: solid but not spectacular.

This game pretty much sums it up why I hate Italian Football...

Lol. They won though. Hey. Winning isn't always pretty. okay. It's almost never pretty.

I do worry about our competitiveness when we lose Buffon. He's excellent.

Hell of a game. I love my Azzurri.

When you destroy a used game market and alienate your customers , I don't think that's innovative business .

I completely agree.

I agree, they should down the price, maybe throw in a free game or something with a purchase, and an apology note inside the box "Sorry for being complete jerks to you guys... here's $20" hahaha

It's just mind boggling that they would even try to do that with their console... just ridiculous

I agree about the game. Seems like an easy way to fix things. Include a game like wii sports or something.

I can't blame them. They run a business. They probably wanted to innovate the industry. They underestimated things.

From my understanding, Sony is requiring you to subscribe to the Playstation Plus program to play online multiplayer. That's what I got from it. It's not a bad service. I'm just not a fan of paying for it but it's going to happen eventually I guess.

I already have a Wii U. I'm a diehard Nintendo fan but I've always had two systems due to Nintendo's weak third party support. I'm going to patiently wait before I decide on one of these systems. I think things are still fluid and may change on Microsoft's front.

Well there we go. I'm not surprised by this. The problem they now face is that they have had ridiculous bad press. They'll need to fix some things before I see people buying this. They clearly lost the used game deal. Their reputation is clearly tarnished. The consumer won. More importantly their one employee who said gamers can go to the 360 if they want an offline console makes them look even dumber.

They have some real work to do here. They'll need to reduce the price because many consumers will refuse to purchase out of principle.
