My roommate is a Cowboys fan whoever #38 it he always seems to be getting owned. If the Bills Don't get Byrd into a long term contract this year the Cowboys should definitely try to bring him in.

Kendrick I won't deny letting up 26 points in 1 half isn't bad Cowboys do have a good offense though. When I'm talking about the Cowboys D I'm talking about actual stats though if you didn't know take a look at this: 426.8 YPG Worst in NFL 6.2 YP/Play 2nd Worst in NFL 44% 3rd Down 2nd Worst in NFL vs pass 4163 yards 297.4/game Worst in NFL They were on pace to be the worst D in NFL history which was broken last season by the Saints but before that there was a 31 season break. This Dallas Defense is not just me or someone randomly saying they are bad they are literally one of the worst defenses in NFL history. That's why I don't hate on Romo as much though he does make a ton of bad mistakes and has an awful win record in December. In NFL history though he has the most 4th quarter comeback wins since 2011 and the best 4th Quarter QB Rating though that might have gone down quite a bit after today. He carries that team when they win and does do some bad things but with that D its not his fault they are losing so much.

I just made a thread for the VHLM and updated the VHLM playoff history too http://vhlsim.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/2941-vhlm-playoff-history/#entry18243

They averaged 7 yards per carry over 130 yards rushing and come forth quarter they still don't stop passing the ball Cowboys are funny. I don't even blame Romo their D let up 5 TDs on all 5 2nd half posessions and are on pace for the worst D in NFL history.

Name: Mike Szatkowski Jr. Position: G Age: 20 Handedness: Left Jersey Number: 78 Height (inches): 75 Weight (lbs.): 220 Birthplace: Canada The path to the VHL is a difficult one for most young hockey prospects. After Thirty-Five Seasons the VHL is no longer a random pick up hockey league that anyone can join. For Mike Szatkowski Jr. the path to the VHL wasn’t quite so difficult as most. For starters he is the son of VHL Hall of Famer Mike Szatkowski. That gave the younger Szatkowski plenty of connections to the league making for a much easier journey. Without any real formal structure in terms of consistent local league or high school play Szatkowski learned the game from his father and other VHL players along the way. Using these connections Szatkowski was able to enter the Season 35 VHLM Dispersal Draft but little actual scouting information was available. The Gow Family who currently run the Ottawa Lynx has a connection to Mike Szatkowski Sr. and current GM of the Riga Reign. “With the 2nd overall pick in the Season 35 VHLM Dispersal Draft the Ottawa Lynx are proud to select Mike Szatkowski Jr. goaltender.” Jim Gow The Ottawa Lynx already had a deep roster and chose to select Szatkowski likely due to the history shared by these families. Ottawa saw Brick Wahl go first overall in the draft and didn’t want to chance Szatkowski at one of their later picks just in case. This is what he said about being drafted to Ottawa in a recent interview. “Other than just winning the Founders Cup being drafted second overall to Ottawa is the greatest moment and memory of my young hockey career.” As Szatkowski mentioned in the interview the Ottawa Lynx went on to win the VHLM Founders Cup this past season. During which the Lynx had a tremendous roster which allowed Szatkowski to flourish in a non-leading support role. He wasn’t asked to do much in net but did enough each night to keep the team in the game. Regular Season Statistics Record: 60-8-4 Save% 90.80 G.A.A.: 2.16 Shutouts: 7 These numbers were good enough to put him near the top in each of the above categories. His save percentage was third, g.a.a. second, first in wins, and third in shutouts. To put things into perspective though he also faced the least amount of shots compared to all other starting minor league goalies. The Lynx also scored 38 more goals than the next closest team. Not to take away from the good minor league season he had but many critics point to the success of the entire team. Heading into the playoffs Szatkowski was feeling really confident having been drafted second overall and now having a full season under his belt. There was no question he was now comfortable at the minor league level but the playoffs are another beast entirely. Many players make a career out of regular season success only to fall in the playoffs. Not to mention that the pressure of competing for a Founders Cup is no joke. To throw even more on the pile the Ottawa Lynx were heavy favorites. Playoffs Statistics Record: 8-1-0 Save%: 88.80 GAA: 2.53 SO: 0 Respectfully that put him first for wins, third for save%, and first for G.A.A. Most goalies dropped a bit in the tougher playoffs and he was still near the top among them. Many consider save percentage to be a better indication of actual goalie ability and in that respect you could consider Szatkowski’s performance a bit lackluster. However it was enough to give the rest of the league notice. Szatkowski didn’t put up amazing numbers but with 60 wins in the regular season and 8 out of 9 including a cup victory that is a great feat. Where does this leave Szatkowski heading into his rookie season? After a good season in the minors he was drafted in the eleventh round of the VHL Super Cup. The Super Cup is a new off-season mini-league showcasing the best talent from around the league. Also to no surprise Szatkowski was claimed via the VHL’s GM Rule by his father to the Riga Reign. The Reign have stockpiled quite a bit of draft picks but had no goalie under contract with Rock Star hitting free agency. Look for Szatkowski to struggle in his rookie season with the Reign. However he does have the foundation and tools available to become a real starting goalie in the league.

I'd have voted Remy I didn't even vote for 3 without him on the ballot as a sign of respect.

I didn't think overall the trailer looked good but that Intro skydiving scene into a city being destroyed looked pretty amazing. I liked the camera work from his mask that scene in IMAX would probably sick as hell. That guy doing the narrating of the trailer whos supposed to be some military leader is also not very good IMO (i know ive seen him in a bunch of random stuff).

Each clue/answer will relate to the day, so Day 1 will relate, in some way, to the number one. I just read this line it makes things easier with regard to the clues as well.

I don't think I'm getting Day 3. There is a common phrase related to the clue I assume thats what its about and even if it is don't see anything in the people I assumed it would be for.
