2014 NFL Wire Troll All-Stars

/ Football, Josh Johnson, The Wire Troll

Unbeknownst to the Cleveland faithful, Carr is the leading rookie passer in almost every positive category. Obviously it’s too early to tell but he appears to be a steal as the fourth QB taken (second round) at least comparatively so. If you nabbed Carr this season, he was probably nothing but bye week material and his future ceiling is very weapons dependent. As for this season he was just a QB2 with upside. Solid performances versus San Diego and San Francisco were the highlights for the promising sliver and black signal caller. Even with a B-Squad of WRs, Carr managed 3,100 yards passing as well as 20 TDs to 14 total turnovers. Rookie numbers have and will be in the future much harsher.

Video Game Review: LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

/ Video Game Reviews

Collecting and unlocking loads of content has long been one of the LEGO series’ top draws, and on that front Batman 3 features an embarrassment of riches. There is a ton of characters to unlock, hidden items to find (including rescuing Adam West, the original Batman), bricks to hoard and inside jokes to the DC universe to uncover — and that’s written as someone that’s hardly a denizen of the comics, so those that are better versed in the fiction should get even more out of it.

The Wire Troll: The Andrei Vasilevskiy Era Begins

/ Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

A first round pick of the Lightning in 2012, the 6’3″ 207-pounder was the highest drafted goaltender in the draft at 19th overall. He’s been quite successful — even dominant — at all levels of play he’s competing in so far. That didn’t change when he made the leap across the pond this fall. In 14 appearances with the Syracuse Crunch, “Andrei the Giant” compiled an 8-3-3 record, a 2.34 goals against average, a .918 save percentage and two shutouts. He took his stellar play with him to sunny Florida after being recalled by the Bolts in Week 10, collecting a win, a 1.52 goals against average and a .958 save percentage.

The Wire Troll: Jarrett Jack Turning Things Around

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Minnesota has opted to start LaVine recently and the rookie is beginning to post Fantasy-worthy numbers. LaVine has been flirting with double-doubles, and his outside shot is starting to fall, with two treys on three attempts over the past two games combined. How about those three steals on Friday? Okay, so LaVine only dropped three dimes, but he was coming off a team-best eight-assist effort on Tuesday, so if you need a boost in helpers, this kid may be a fine short-term pickup while Rubio heals.

The controls are perfectly responsive, and it is possible to map the controls to different buttons if desired.

Start ’em, Sit ’em: Malcolm Floyd to the Rescue?

/ Football, Josh Johnson, Ken LeBlanc, Start 'em Sit 'em

We always knew Floyd was quality WR. Injuries have thwarted him in every season until this one — in which he is averaging 17.3 yards per reception. Now fellow WR Keenan Allen is done for the year. Floyd’s role should increase, which might hurt his average, but a TD seems very likely for this veteran with underrated athletic skills.
