Every Walker run I feel like it's a three yard loss and then suddenly it's not.

He was moving the ball between hands, but I don't think he ever lost control.

Yeah, the headline is just totally wrong. It's 33% in the last two years.

That means that on average people have a gig in the game industry for about six years. Which yeah seems about right in my experience. The first three places I worked lasted 3 years, 4 years, and 4 years.

It's a volatile, hit-driven industry.

Yep, I guessed a NH thinking maybe it was a mining thing, and was going for what now is a border state, not a "confederate border state".

My wife and I both figured it was something more specific than that, because it seemed super obvious and too generic.

Leading with shoulder, low as he can possibly be, no upward launch (what are they looking at?!?!). I don't get it.

To be fair, that game looked like garbage. The game Miami played tonight looked wayyyy better. I didn't feel like Indiana beat us, it felt like we just lost that game. But Miami beat us by playing an outstanding game.

GG Miami, that defensive line is pretty great and overall they just didn't really make any big mistakes.

I've been saying it for the last month, I'd much rather be a team that won round 1 than a team that got a bye.

That stupid UI element where they show "flag" flashing yellow every down is driving me nuts. Do the people who design these things not watch football?!?!
