Yes on the USC.
I've always said that the reason why Pete Carroll is so much better with USC than with the Pats is due to the fact that he has a bigger payroll to work with now...

Hey Owen! You missed the source article link (I will find my own Googles, tyvm!). Why do I bring this up? I need to see if my Lions are predicted to win a game. :(

@Owen Good: "We simulated every game and we'll share with you some of the rather predictable results we came up with."
Does EA really think they need to hype this game to sell more units?
Can't blame them for not mentioning D-town, but full results would have been nice.

Too bad Oakland didn't put those BART cops on defense. They have real stopping power.

@Shawnrw222: NFC north is anyone's to win, even the Lions. The Lions had a pretty good offseason, and the bears now have a QB worth mentioning. The Vikings haven't done much over the offseason. They didn't address their biggest need in a QB, so now they'll have Michael Vick Jr. running all over the field fumbling and getting hurt or Sage "The Fumbling Human-Helicopter (refer to Texans vs Colts to understand this insult)" Rosenfail. Other than AP and a good defensive line the Vikings don't have much. If the Packers can adjust to 3-4 then I think they have a legitimate shot.

@Shawnrw222: Posting a smartass comment like 'Was I supposed to laugh?' pretty much excludes you from the segment of people Owen cares about entertaining. Acting mildly offended when smartassed back sort of cements that exclusion.

According to EA, the Vikings miss the playoffs completely?
What, did every player suffer a season ending injury? There's no way they lose the division this year, especially to the aging, overrated Bears.

@Shawnrw222: They barely beat out the Bears who didn't even have a real QB at the time. How many big-time players did the viks pick up? ....exactly. In the words of Mr. Cub "the (insert loser team here-vikings) don't have to get any better, everyone else just has to get worse".

@VideoGameFan: Berrian is nasty. The Vikings got Harvin in the draft. Even without a top QB they have weapons. They have a top defense. You seem to forget the Bears made it to THE SUPER BOWL with Rex Grossman. Orton gave them that same shot. The Bears have a good defense, with a good core group of players.

The Vikings didn't lose in the playoffs, because they weren't good enough last year. They lost because they lack experience.

Ok, I just tuned into the VGA show on Spike right about the time Niel Patrick Harris was on stage. I watched for 10 minutes, threw up in my mouth 7 times, kicked a hole in my TV and cried in the corner.

WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT? That was the worst thing I have ever seen. EVER. It is an insult to gamers and should be boycotted.

Sadly, that is what the mass media and game publishers think we want. That's how they think our brains are wired. It is horrible.

Shockingly, Kardashian botched that badly. "Uummmm" can't be part of the script, especially when you seem to be struggling to read it. I loved the laugh following "it's based on a book", like anyone looks at those things anymore.

Left4dead isn't that good. It's just the big game now. You're judging on flavor of the month. If these awards were held earlier this year during GTAIV hype. You'd all be saying GTAIV should win.
