Weekend Confirmed 81 - Rage, Dark Souls, television on Xbox 360
by Garnett Lee, Oct 07, 2011 7:00pm PDTBilly "plan B" Berghammer joins Jeff and Garnett on a show that sounds like it would be full of angst. Rage and Dark Souls both came out this week, and there's a lot to talk about, including how the guy who "loves loving things" takes to a game renowned for its bleakness. Microsoft's additions to the television offerings on Live also become a hot topic, but the group doesn't seem nearly as impressed as the press release would lead one to believe. The iOS update and iPhone 4S also spark some debate on how mobile gaming continues to grow, as does the news that Unreal Engine 3 runs in Flash 11. The rest of the news of the week, a few other games, and your feedback and questions round out the show before wrapping up with Finishing Moves and the weekend football tailgate.

Anyway, WR A. Brown of Pittsburg maybe, also T. Young of Detroit both seem to be #2 guys. Someone's probably got him but Nate Washington of Tennessee. Also trade johnson for a high second tier if you can remind the taker that Johnson has his buy week during that injury time so your really only losing 2 weeks.
Good luck:) PS Garnett what your team problem, and don't forget Rivers start out seasons really slow in general.

I wasn't very high on anything Atlanta, I thought last year was a fluke and Ryan just not the man IMO, I thought/think Freeman and the bucs are the real deal in that division. But I see that very big problem you got your top RB are pretty much busts or should I say average.
Miles Austin damn the cowboys. I hate big play players there's nothing more frustrating then a Chris Johnson 2pts, 2pts, 2pts, 43pts player!!! Lol
Hey just think of it this way at least you don't have a gameday decission Beanie Wells every dam week(and no I didn't have him starting last week). And by the way he's my main running back now that the redskins triple threat means Hightower is no point or 18 points MFers:)
