'The Internet's own boy' about Aaron Swartz. Could be worth a watch for those interested in the power of the Internet and the fear that it seems to instil within the American Government.

Some performance in the playoffs by Madison Bumgarner - one for the ages

Brilliant. Fantastic series. The Chevy MVP presentation after was the highlight. Awkward bastard.

This happened at a place called 'Burgers & Bullets' http://bulletsandburgers.com/. Book your birthday party on their website
'Our guests have the opportunity to fire a wide range of fully automatic machine guns and specialty weapons. You will choose the guns which you want to shoot ... To top it off, lunch is included inside the the World Famous Arizona Last Stop restaurant located onsite. You will be treated with the World Famous All American Hamburger, fresh cut french fries, and a drink.'

Ranked #1 attraction in Las Vegas on Tripadvisor (even with a few negative reviews today)

wtf!

Jesus Christ that website is an assault on the eyes.

[And to be honest, I will smile the first time a Steelers linebacker says hello.]

Manziel is a clown but the fans will chant his name if he doesn't get the number 1 spot and they start to struggle. Happened with Tebow (where the hell is he now?!).

I've been keeping tabs on hard knocks which is always worth a watch. William Moore had a ridiculous palm tree in his house. No wonder the bankruptcy rate of former players is sky high.

Tebow is out of football at the moment, but I've seen a few comments that if he came back and tried as a Tight End or a Full Back he might be able to make a career for himself. He doesn't seem keen on that. He could never throw an NFL ball, so Manziel does have that over him, but Tebow was a lot bigger than Manziel, so the old scrambling around is more likely to end up in a car crash for Manziel. And to be honest, I will smile the first time a Steelers linebacker says hello.

On another note, Darnell Dockett is out for the season for the Cardinals. Seriously bad news. Their defense is the rock they will be built on, and Dockett is a huge player and a major leader.

You and me both.

Best place to buy tickets for a regular season NFL game lads? Stubhub? Seems to be cheaper than ticketmaster. Anywhere else? Catching the Giants in December. Can't wait.

Horrific stuff. The video is on liveleak. The second guy is Steven Joel Sotloff from Time magazine. Jesus it's hard to even imagine being in that situation. The ISIS guy had a British accent too. Unbelievable.

Not a bother

[Strategy:]

Just a few notes (Tested with HTC One - Android Version 4.4.2).

Strategy:
Record functionality seems flaky. Icons would fly of the screen on me when playing back. An example would be great as the text instructions were quite wordy. The key to the most popular apps usually lays in their simplicity. Monkey see monkey doo etc etc.
Change the icon for help. Doesn’t look right.
Possibly add tool tips for the buttons along the bottom.

Scoreboard:
When entering names, half the screen is overtaken by the keyboard. User cannot see the bottom to select time or proceed unless they hit the back key
Possibly change the options of minutes per half or allow the user to add them manually.
Let the user proceed with Team A and Team B. Should be enough in small in-house games for example.
Option to pause time during a half (ladies football does this I think). Also a useful feature to have
Share with other platforms? Whatsapp? Lots of clubs would have a group chat for example. What is output file? Easily opened if the user does not have the app or is it just a raw text dump of the score?
Maybe remove wide button and make goal and point as big as the possible (maybe reduce the size allocated for the score for example). When running around, the user will like to make this action as easy as possible.
Possibly remove the skip button in scorer popup as leaving it blank and clicking enter does the same thing
Format the size of the buttons along the bottom so they fill the screen space (mine cuts of 9/10ths of the way across leaving a green space).

Drills:
Swiss Ball Rollout has the same picture twice.
Text seems badly formatted. Paragraphs were taken midsentence. Large spaces between words and lines. The font is probably a little too large.
When clicking back when viewing a specific drill, the list does not hold its position. If I'm viewing a drill at the bottom of the list and I click back, I expect the focus to remain at the bottom or wherever.
Possible feature - allow the user to side scroll through drills instead of clicking back and clicking a new drill
Possibly allow the user to grab the scroll bar to move down
3 - 4 minutes rest between drills? How did you come to the timings? Possibly leave that to the coaches or prefix it by saying they are guidelines
More navigation options other than back. Sub menus along the top for example.
Lots of text in some of the drills (8 point square for example).
Some have no diagrams. These are usually a great addition for all drills.
Possible feature – allow the user to create drills.

General observations:
No need for uppercase button text.
Different icon on app tab (kicking the ball) and inside the app (running with ball). Go for consistency
Go to Coaching Drill - Click a Drill - Click back (mobile button, not app button) twice - Takes the user to scoreboard.

Brilliant idea and best of luck with it. Could save alot of people of standing out with the damn clipboard. You have done an excellent job

Same here. Make it available world wide and you'll get more feedback

I see France have won in the Snowboarding (mad sport) and the guy did his ACL 6 months ago.  Is that what the  Gooch did?

Mad sport surely. The downhill race with 5 boarders is crazy.

Quick turnaround there. 6 months is the minimum suggested by doctors but the vast majority of people take longer (the 9 month mark is the average). Depends on the individual.

No, because he " mocked" Syferus's idol Cams TD celebration. Where did Cam go to college Sy?

Florida

Hope the Niners beat the Seagulls but the Seattle secondary are best in the business and while Kap is good he's be Brees when it comes to the air. The distaste right now between Seattle and Niners is something I haven't seen for a long time, advertising boards and TV adds in each city. Hope Niners can make it two in a row and open the new Stadium as Super Bowl champs.

NE to win the other game. Denver are missing something and their Def just won't hold the Pats O

Cam went to Auburn too. His da is a dodgy character. Like something from the final season of Friday Night Lights.

Darts doesn't get much better than that match between James Wilson and Christian Kist. Both players averaged 96, which, given that the trebles on a pdc board are 30% bigger, would translate to around 125 on a Unicorn as opposed to the official, BDO/WDF-approved Winmau board.

The title could well be heading back to Yorkshire - there was certainly nothing jammy about that win for the "Jammy Dodger" - and Kist played as well as he has since he won the world title two years ago.

Never heard that stat about the dart board before Sid. Why is that? 

Lads anyone know if any US teams are coming to Croker in 2014 like Notre Dame did recently?

I have Premium tickets and need to clear the mortgage, so I am hoping for Texas versus Iran or maybe Kim Jong Un v Floyd Mayweather. Any info appreciated.

Penn State and the #10 ranked team up there, Central Florida, in September. Could end up being two nationally-ranked teams going at it. It mightn't sell out, though. Hook us up.

Florida have a guy from Cork kicking for them which might generate some interest.

Some accent.

Maisel is excellent. Forde for Yahoo wrote a good piece as well.

Don't agree with him that it was the most outstanding ending ever though. 'The Play' from 82 is just unbelievable. 'Agghhh the band is on the field!'

Caught the final quarter. Unbelievable ending.
