Why does that blog analyzing TFF exist?

It's titled "Anthony's Class Blog" and one of the commenters on the Toxx post "peer reviewed" it and has a similar class blog and they all follow each other's "cyberculture" blogs - http://www.blogger.com/profile/13338719092522162397

That's me. I did it for a class. My analysis wasn't super-thorough because I figured nobody was going to fact-check my opinions of TFF posters.

edit: My only regret was not featuring BPP at all.

That was my original assumption! Any update from them now that the game is over?

The guy responsible for the original stuff I posted hasn't said a word on there since then, but we did get this:

the Titans' SB Nation blog posted:

The Houston Texans pissed away and thoughts I may have had about the physicality and toughness of their defense by whining for the second time in four games about 'dirty play' from an opposing lineman. Unless someone gets hurt, shut up. Also, taking a swing at a guy with a helmet on is not dirty, it's stupid. So, you can say David Stewart is a stupid player for swinging on Reed and Barwin, but it's not dirty. Spearing Chris Johnson while he's already tackled? Now that's dirty. On top of that, I don't give a drat if our offensive line does get dirty from time to time. Any good O-line steps over that line on occasion. Final point: quit whining about opposing offensive lines when your own line's entire scheme is based on cut blocks and diving at knees to create running lanes.

This is too fantastic to not be an amazing troll, right? I want to lay down and fornicate with this post.

c/o JetsInsider posted:

People here were incredulous last night when I suggested that Holmes might yet be faking his injury, and unfortunately I had to go to bed so I couldn't explain, but I wanted to set the record straight. First I should say, I work in the health insurance industry doing fraud investigations. You wouldn't believe some of the things people will do to fake an injury for disability payments, etc. Sometimes doctors are in on it so they can bill for nonexistent procedures, but often they're unaware.

An MRI is a useful diagnostic tool, but it can be fooled in a number of ways.

One, from an imaging point of view. The most common way to do this is to bring a fake limb into the MRI machine with you. For example, as Holmes is climbing in, he might fold his leg underneath him so it's not within the area being imaged. Then, he could place a cadaver leg (you can get these from medical supply companies) that has the desired injury into the MRI's field. Lizfranc injury you want? Lizfranc injury you have.

Two, MRI machines are controlled by computers (amazingly, often running the Windows OS). They are also networked to make sharing of images easier. Hackers can and do remotely break into an MRI machine and replace images with others, showing whatever injury they want. We had one case where a member of a hospital's IT staff was getting kickbacks to let attackers through the firewall, but that's far from the only way in. This guy's weird sense of humor got him caught when he replaced one of the images with a picture of a clown.

Three, an MRI needs to be heavily interpreted sometimes. It's not obvious like an x-ray. A sympathetic doctor could very well misdiagnose a patient while looking at an MRI, especially if the patient is complaining of symptoms consistent with a particular injury.

You really wouldn't believe what lengths people will go through. We had one guy on an AbioCor (a completely implantable artificial heart). Now, you may not be aware, but artificial hearts aren't usually sold to the patient to be implanted, they're leased, and the cost depends on how many beats per minute the patient wants. That way, those with a sedentary lifestyle don't need to spend as much as those who want to be active. Well, this one guy was an electronics wizard, and he was able to reprogram the heart (they can be wirelessly programmed from close range) to give him more beats per minute than he was entitled to. They guy literally could have been doing jumping jacks while only spending enough money to sit on a couch. And, to add insult to injury, it took almost a year to get a court order to get the heart back.

So the moral of the story is that I don't have proof that Tone is faking it, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Has LSU ever lost a game that wasn't Miles' fault? posted:

I'm trying to think of a game where the players just didn't execute, we had too many turnovers, penalties, and the TEAM lost.

Or have our last 4 losses in three seasons all been on Miles?

If so, if all 4 losses were on Miles, how many of those 30 wins can we credit him with?

How many times has he put this team in a position to win and they came through?

Compare that, just for kicks, to how many games Saban lost in that same time period, and which were due to coaching

I took a "pill" this morning and in 45 minutes I magically appeared in football heaven. I followed the "trails" to a hole-in-the-wall mexican joint where I saw Al sitting at a table with Halas and Lombardi. The table was litered with empty Coronas. Al had a Chile Relleno combo plate in front of him and seemed anxious to dig in. When he saw me he said: "Do you love the Raydahs, my son??" To which I replied: "Almost as much as you do". He went into an epic rant on the state of the Raiders. Here are the highlights:

"If that dumb azz son of mine fvcks things up, I'm gonna kick him in his sorry azz when I see him"
"Fvcken McKenzie needs to grow a sack and stop crying about the cap and the lack of draft picks"
"We need corners. Why did McKenzie let Routt go?? He's a great playah"
"The coaches need to get the front line to bring the pressure on the pocket like real Raiders do. Blitzing is for pvssies who can't dominate with their front four".
"We need to get the ball downfield to stretch the secondary. That's why we can't get any action in the intermediate passing game".
"What's with this zone blocking sh!t?? The OL has got to dominate the opposing DL and let DMac burst with a head of steam"
"Who the fvck let that b!tch Knapp back into the building??"

Lombardi and Halas didn't have much to say. Whenever Al mentioned something about the Raiders, Lombardi would shout: "What the hells going on out here??" Halas said very little except to mention that the beers were giving him heartburn.

Al closed the conversation by saying: "Don't worry, my son. The Greatness of the Raydahs is in it's Future
