PrintWow, it's been a while since we've had to do this on a Friday in march
but it had to be done. use this as you're late evening, late night thread. all topics are on the table. be it the tantalizing Joey Bombs & his goofy side kick Boog. or the man, the myth, the legend, Amaury Cazana Marti, or the NCAA March Madness. as usual, dating advise, movie picks, TV shows & recipes are always welcome. come on in VEB, the overflow waters are juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

gdm was a newbie once
he’s been there, done that & knows what its all about. he’s been through the hazing & the stupid comments & the trying to hard to impress everyone. so don’t take his hating personally, take it as an old dog just trying to speed up the process of newbies not sucking so hard

That article needs a bit more editing,
but a good story.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)

nothing played till ad block was disabled
even after a restart of the computer, not just the browsers. that’s not cool. not cool at all
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
I'm not sure whether that was intentional or not but I think that'll happen more and more often in the future
there was an interesting debate the other day on Ars Technica about the ethics of adblocking; it began when they blocked the page content for a day for anyone with adblock enabled.
people flip channels
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
what i'm saying is, off the cuff, it won't work
internet might become cable
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
the ars technica position on that
and I don’t know whether it’s correct or not, is that internet advertisers have far more precise metrics, and are better able and more likely to tailor their dollars based on who can really see the ads.
i envision different packages
like cable
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
here's my take
until ad blocking is illegal, they should make themselves a pay site or quit whining about it. but their content isn’t impressive enough to make themselves a pay site. I don’t know who the hell clicks on all those internet ads anyway, and if you are using adblocker you are going to either ignore the ads or be angered by them, thus giving negative impressions to your company

i don't mind most of the "print" ads you see online and unfortunately those are the ones that get blocked.
however i do mind when they expand in size or “get in your way” so that they accidentally get clicked on, or conveniently cover what you are trying to view until you click the close or minimize button which then opens the ad in a new tab or window….

yeah, like logging on to veb
when i had to switch to ie from firefox to watch the video
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
like on this website
sometimes the ad tries to block the login! and they complain about ad blockers!

That's exactly how I feel.
I turned off Adblock today and on VEB I rolled over a Jack-in-the-Box ad which then unfurled and stayed that way until I x’d out of it. Now, SBNation has had more intrusive ads in the past, but I still find those ads incredibly annoying. At home I can mute TV ads. How do I mute these obnoxious ads without blocking them entirely?
STAB STAB STAB
i'll sit through commercials on TV but i hate them on the internet.
don’t know why, that’s just the way i am. if i’m watching something on hulu i will go so far as to vote “dislike” for all 30 second ads and “like” for all the shorter ones.

I don't mind internet print ads
on respectable sites such as this one (hi guys in the sbn) but yeah, having to watch thirty second ads to see ten seconds of game footage, like on MLB Video, is a bit much.
And it's always the same damn ad.
Do you know how many Marines ads I saw last season?

i am trying to decide if the marines are lucky or not that you didn't enlist.

online adds are the worst, like the ones on cbs mmod
they won’t let you do anything while 2 or 3 adds are running & you end up missing big plays in games if they start running those adds. we missed a couple late second shots because of those stupid things, and that’s not cool. not cool at all
Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the torment of man
i haven't checked out any of the basketball coverage
but what i hate about cbs it that they usually won’t rotate their ads. its bad enough to have to watch some of those commercials, but its 100 times worse when you have to watch the same ad over and over again… i think i can quote the sprint ad about tom and his restrictive calling circle

if we see one more census ad, or hp ad or iron man 2 ad,
there will be hell to pay. the worst is they kick on when the game you’re watching goes to commercial. so you can’t switch between late games that take quick TO’s because of those stupid ad’s that start running. it’s bullshit. they already have an ad’s that runs every time you switch a game, they should not prevent you from switching a game just because it’s in a “traditional” TV commercial break

he's a big time jerk & a douche, but a good coach

if you're ever bored to death,
look up what went down when he left osu for maryland. and you’ll probably find some stuff about how he recruits & how he treats other schools & their coaches. i’m sure it’s normal behavior for coaches, but you don’t hear that about all of them. he’s one of the most respected coaches in the game, but he’s not a very nice guy.

I feel conflicted about blocking ads.
On the one hand, it will, in the long run, undermine my internet experience. But, as the Ars Technica editor mentions, it’s really up to advertisers to create an advertising form that will be effective (if ads are, in fact, effective) and that people won’t want to block.

I think they are effective up until a point
but ultimately it is putting out a good product that is most effective…. I think advertisements help to get off the ground though

i bet anything this kid was talking shit all over
he’s a punk.

wouldn't surprise me
I’ve always found it odd that Ozzie was pretty quiet as a ballplayer (at least that was my impression) but when he became manager he became kind of a freak. he seems to be a pretty good manager though

no kidding. why would the white sox care? it's just stupid

plus they should know that they are just stirring up controversy
Ozzie is just going to get fumed up by it. I guess that could be a good thing though.

a lot of his stuff cracks me up, but sometimes i really do think he need
a swift kick in the ass

I like it when he's the most nonsensical though, it's pretty funny
and I think he gets his players to try harder, who knows what kind of effect that really is though

sox employed him
on a low level, as a favor – kid has nerve bad-mouthing them. should have fired him and made ozzie take parenting classes.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
they should also assume the crazy apple doesn't fall far from the crazy tree

the kid was basically a janitor
c’mon, they didn’t expect him to get crazy.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
ozzie didn't get nuts
until he was in position to do so. as chitown said, he was a player akin vocally to omar vizquel.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i believe that ozzie was just hiding his nuts

does anyone know any way to make the font on deadspin bigger?
for reals, it’s been super tiny for a while now & it’s killing our old eyes to look at it. it’s not that small on any other gawker sites that we’ve looked at, so we can’t figure out why deadspin’s is so small

he can hear you
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
it is a crazy story though
what’s he doing here – did he run into jose oquendo somewhere a la joe thurston? seems tlr and dunc aren’t the only ones who get to implement their pet projects.

it's past 3 am and you're questioning Amaury Marti Cazana
nothing good will come of that

i would never question amaury marti cazana
NEVER!!
