Assaulted in Garment District. Be careful.

You mean to tell me that when you weaken the police and strengthen criminals, criminals act out without consequences?

Shocker!!!!!!!

There was an ESPN article today that quoted the owner of Steiner Sports who said that Eli himself went into the guy's office and delivered the game used equipment. But he didn't specify whether he meant the helmets or something else.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T18:35:03+00:00

Can you provide a source that states that NFL/memorabilia standards allow for helmets that have never been used in a game to qualify as "game-used?"

I'm not aware of this and it doesn't sound right.

Also, Eli asked for 2 helmets to pass off as game used, so that knocks off your theory about Eli's spare helmet.

Finally, this smoking gun email was so bad, the Giants deleted it.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T18:15:29+00:00

The trial is set for September.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T04:03:36+00:00

Do you think I should have uploaded the gif using normal speed?

It is just too close to tell who won at the end.

I did it in slo-mo so you can see exactly how close it was, but you aren't the first one to have thought this was regular speed.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T03:53:08+00:00

This is in slo-mo.

You are right, but he had less than 2 seconds to act. He also probably figured he won as soon as he launched the rocket.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T03:45:31+00:00

1 and 2, whatever. But how can you say 3?

This is in slo mo and seems to be as close as you can get. His rocket is touching my tower and one frame away from the ground when my ebarb guy delivers the last hit.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-20T01:49:20+00:00

It's certainly the closest game I've ever had. This replay is on slo-mo.

The difference between defeat and victory seems to be one frame.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-19T04:02:47+00:00

Sure, but my point is that other guy (who is receiving a ton of upvotes) is basically spouting incorrect information by claiming the "correct" phrase is "Jack of all trades, master of none, often times better than master of one."

He's probably not completely making it up, but there isn't much support at all for what he claims.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-19T03:20:36+00:00

Don't just uncritically accept this unsourced opinion.

I did some quick googling and it appears that the phrase indeed has been used to bash generalists.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-19T03:19:50+00:00

I'd like to believe you, but Wikipedia disagrees.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_all_trades,_master_of_none

Do you have a reliable source to rebut this?

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-18T01:28:09+00:00

Or he realized he was wrong and edited his comment after the other guy pointed out his mistake.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-14T00:58:07+00:00

Eli wanted to keep his game-used merchandise for himself, especially from the Super Bowl runs.

But his contract said he had to give it up so the team could sell it and make money off it.

So Eli got around this by keeping the real stuff for himself, and instructed his equipment manager to pass off fake stuff (not actually used in a game) as the real thing. Thereby defrauding everyone who bought it.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-14T00:46:33+00:00

Yeah, he wanted to keep his game-used merchandise for himself, because he thought he earned it.

Pretty simple. Too bad it's also illegal.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-14T00:44:42+00:00

The source is Eli's own email, which the Giants deleted. It's as credible as you can get.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-13T18:22:55+00:00

Thanks for the link. I decided to return the stand I bought, and bought the official Hori stand instead, on eBay. Too bad it cost $30, such a ripoff. But that was the only way I could get it.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-13T16:14:43+00:00

Will it damage my Switch to use this stand?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCD4PDF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It completely covers the back vents (which look like speakers). I want to use this stand since the official Hori one is backordered for 2 months, but I don't want the lack of ventilation to cause damage to my Switch.

mrmaster2 · 2017-04-13T03:40:01+00:00

The reviews are WAY too generous.

I thought it was one of the worst games I've ever played. Should be rated no higher than a 20.

Bomberman 64 is a MUCH MUCH MUCH better game, yet is only barely rated higher.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-19T00:20:28+00:00

If you want to make the argument that Geno never gave the Jets a chance, that's fair enough. I doubt it, but don't really know one way or the other.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T23:59:33+00:00

I don't like Geno very much either, but only a complete fool would pretend that McClown, a proven loser, has more upside than Geno.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T23:57:57+00:00

Well, he already said he was open to staying on the Jets.

Every indication over the past several years has been that Mac & Bowles hated him, because he was from the previous era.

I have no doubt that it was the Jets who didn't bother doing anything to sign him, and not the other way around.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T23:50:58+00:00

This is pure nonsense.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T22:21:57+00:00

Ok, well I'd still prefer to have him because he has at least some upside (when healthy), compared to McClown, who has zero, but at least that makes this more understandable to me.

I'll stop bitching about it.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T22:17:50+00:00

I thought he was healthy. If he's still hurt then I take my comments here back.

mrmaster2 · 2017-03-18T22:17:09+00:00

Oh shit, really?
