I think he's more than capable of being a starting QB in the NFL. I don't understand all the hate and negativity around him and sure he's been inconsistent so far this year but he's producing wins and as a Bronco fan that's all I fucken care about.

2. Will you be anywhere near a mall/shopping center for Black Friday?

I don't have a vagina....

3. Take your pick: Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba/Taco Bell/Other/Who eats this shit?

Taco del Mar

4. Baby hair with a woman's eyes...

Im guessing its lyrics but it's nothing I know of.

5. Why/How has the freeware EHM game managed to stay playable nearly a decade later?

I'm guessing the same reason people still play CS......cause it's a classic!

Flash in the pan. Shitty throwing motion, takes entirely too many hits to stay healthy. It's just like when a team gets a new hitter in baseball. It takes a little bit for the pitchers to adjust because they don't have scouting reports. Once teams can start looking at a large sample of film, Tebow will be bottled up. He's not a good enough thrower to open running lanes.

2. Will you be anywhere near a mall/shopping center for Black Friday?

Maybe. Shopping at night on Black Friday leads to good deals and small crowds because the majority of people are relaxing at home after shopping all day.

3. Take your pick: Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba/Taco Bell/Other/Who eats this shit?

Taco Bell. All day every day.

4. Baby hair with a woman's eyes...

Jerry Sandusky's mantra?

5. Why/How has the freeware EHM game managed to stay playable nearly a decade later?

It's a timeless classic.

1. I don't know enough about the NFL to have an opinion, but Colin Cowherd on his morning shows has convinced me he is indeed a flash in the pan.
2. No.
3. Taco Bell, easily. Chipotle a close second. Random food trucks in LA > the rest.
4. Question mark
5. The guys at Peliplaneetta (that's a word I haven't seen or attempted to spell in a long time) did a good job of making the game easy to adjust. Strange to think that if you downloaded EHM with the 2001 rosters, Milan Hejduk would still be on the Colorado Avalanche (no word if he will be traded to Washington before heading back, though) ;)

I put 60$ on him to get more than 110 passing yards against NYJ, the fucking guy got 104. Can't wait till they play a very offensive team so that he actually has to pass the ball.

2. Will you be anywhere near a mall/shopping center for Black Friday?
We don't have that in Canadaland. Boxing day I'll be buying new clothes, need some new fresh shit.

3. Take your pick: Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba/Taco Bell/Other/Who eats this shit?
3 Amigos downtown Montreal! Love mexican food.

Google led me to an old song by Taylor Hall and Adam Oates.

1. Thanks to you I just learned that Tim Tebow is an NFL QB at all.
2. Black Friday is starting to become a thing in Canada (which is odd because we had Thanksgiving a month ago) but the sales still suck. Boxing Day is where it's at.
3. Who eats that shit? Taco Bell's 'meat' doesn't even qualify as meat. I went to a Chipotle's a while ago and it was barely any better. There is plenty of real Mexican food to be had in Kensington Market.
4. That sounds creepy.
5. The game itself obviously hasn't changed, it's just that nobody's made anything better with a useable GM limit. I guess EHM 2005 could be better but it's also significantly more complicated.

1. Sucks. The Broncos have, mid-year, completely reformatted their offense around a QB who cannot throw the ball. See how that goes against a tough team.

2. Lord no.

3. I find the home made stuff avoids the unpleasant 'remorse' period.

4. ugh, Sara Smile.

5. text-based everything has made it a breeze to update, and make add-ons for - look at how much more difficult it is to get EHM 07 to even change the start date - and it's a lightweight application that anybody can run on just about anything.

I'm tentatively buying. Obviously, If he doesn't get any better throwing the rest of the league will figure him out. That said, there's no question he has the "want to" (crappy cliches aside) and leadership ability in spades to be a successful QB. My completely out of the blue comparison if he becomes a capable passer is Mark Brunell in his Jaguars heyday.

2. Will you be anywhere near a mall/shopping center for Black Friday?

Nope, work Friday afternoon and I'll probably be in a turkey induced coma.

3. Take your pick: Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba/Taco Bell/Other/Who eats this shit?

Qdoba, although I guess for foodies any of the burrito places are fauxican more so than Mexican.

4. Baby hair with a woman's eyes...

I apologize for such a shitty question, I ran out of ideas.

5. Why/How has the freeware EHM game managed to stay playable nearly a decade later?

The ability to update rosters to something representing the actual players in the league has something going for it. EA and other sports game makers have not made something worth dumping this for. Contributions and updates from fhockey regulars keeps it fresh as well.

Adam has done well with EHEC to introduce financial realism that is severely lacking from the game by itself.
