You know at times, I wonder and I say to myself, "You mean to tell me a telescope is able to see light-years away and able to identify a planet's features?" It sounds so surreal to me.

Pretty pathetic from GSW, KD in particular.
And people wonder why this team could be so hated. They celebrate and talk so much, but when another team (or in this case individual) retaliates, they seem to crumble mentally. This is yet another example. Shaq had no skills? Really???

Exactly. McGee keeps GIVING Shaq more ammo for his show. Shaq should respond by saying the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.
Speaking of this thread, just finished watching some Flacco highlights on YouTube. Damn near brought a tear to my eye (figuratively of course).

Didnt we offer Torrey 5 a year?
It also has a lot to do with the player's family i would assume. Lets use Wagner, not sure if he has a family. Im sure it would be hard moving your entire family, pulling kids out of school, leaving friends, for a couple hundred grand more. Now if its the leap of money KO experienced, cant really fault them. I personally would consider the players around me and the type of organization it is, no different than when i was head hunted for my contracting job.
I can't remember the specifics of our offered contract vs. the Niners', but I do know it wasn't a huge difference. I remember seeing a question saying if the Ravens offered me $7M, would I walk away if another team offered $8M. For me, it solely depends on the team who offered. If it was the Browns, then no. However, if it was the Titans or Bucs, then yes.

1 minute ago, allblackraven said:I always wondered what is the $$ difference that would make players move. It's probably not as simple as that though, team and/or city must matter as well.
I was JUST gonna say it really depends on the team. Let's use Torrey Smith as an example. He went to a team who offered him a contract worth $5M more overall (IIRC?). The same team who's been inferior to us since 2014 (yes I know they beat us in 2015). Maybe them offered a more prominent role than we did? Beats me, but whatever.
For WAG reasons, I wouldn't mind Poyer as well.

Sucks that Elam didn't pan out (adios to him btw), but hey, this could be a nice consolation prize. I doubt we get him because.....yeah.
Anybody watch How to Get Away with Murder? Damn good show, but this is a show you would have to watch from the very beginning. Trust me on that.

That's an awesome name! That in itself is a reason why I'd be happy if we got him. Other from his name, I know nothing of him.
Moderators, we might need to switch the title.

The Cavs were the Pats and the Wiz were the Falcons. You knew who'd win the game if it went to OT.
Marty, you BETTER run the ball when it's working....
I'll say this much: if this game doesn't serve as a reminder to Marty Ball to continue running the ball when it's WORKING, then he should be fired on the spot.

Ryan had a much better season, but Flacco still has a ring and he doesn't. And to be frank, the "Falcons blew a 25 point lead" jokes are going to be awesome
First it was the Warriors that blew a 3-1 lead. #NEVERFORGET
Then it was the Indians that blew a 3-1 lead.
Now, the Falcons blew a 25 point lead. Unbelievable.
This is why the Ravens are trendsetters because they KNEW that being up large could lead to humility of biblical proportions if said lead was blown. Love the Ravens!

But seriously, the Christmas game and these playoff games have really sucked the interest out of me. I'm looking forward for this game to be over so we can squarely focus on the offseason.

As long as they don't have a Mario or Luigi, Bowser shouldn't have to worry.

And all that talk about Brown's "antics" lol. Yeah right.....they can suck it up.
I'm really looking forward for the season to end. I have very little interest in this year's Super Bowl.

Qualcomm is basically a home game for every team sans the Browns, Jags, and (I think) Titans.

I mean.........every time they play in San Diego, it's a home game for the Raiders.
8-8 after starting 3-0. Shaky offensive line. Bad running game. Really good defense with a legit safety.
Definitely a purple thing in 2016.

only downside is that i wish 50 cent stuck to producing and didnt insert himself as a supporting actor, he surprisingly did an AMAZING job producing this show but he is dreadful as an actor, luckily he doesnt have too much screentime.
When the show first started, I was like "Eh, I don't know about this." After the second episode, I was completely hooked. They really do a great job previewing the next episode at the end.
As for 50, his character is just........evil. I hear ya about his acting skills (or lack thereof), but man does his character scare me at times.

Like last year's Finals, I want one of two scenarios to happen regardless of the team:
1) one team sweeps the other
2) one team wins in 7 after being down 3-0
