I have a French Bulldog...expensive but he's the coolest...always waiting at the door when I get home and loves to hang out and watch me play Madden

I'd go with something small then. I'll bet that your daughter would like that too. Yorkies are really playful and are easy to get wired up when you want them too, but when it is time to lay around they are all about getting up in your lap and relaxing. The bad thing about them is that they require above average grooming and they are so small(less than 5lbs)! I like Scottish Terriers but I have never owned one though. I like bigger dogs, but for my daughter a smaller dog gives her something she can play with and I don't have to worry about her being accidentally knocked over while they are playing.

Hey oldman, looking for a dog that likes to chill, but when it's time to play he'll do that. (if that makes any sense) I don't need a hyper dog that won't ever settle down.
oldman on May 2, 2012 at 10:42 AM.
The only bad thing about boxers is that they need a ton of attention. Hours of outside play time a day or they get 'stir crazy' and like to chew important things up in the house! How big of a dog are you interested in and are you wanting a dog to take hunting or just as a playmate? If size doesn't matter and you just want a playmate then I would suggest getting something small like a Yorkie or a Scottish Terrier.
If you want one that can maybe do other stuff too, look at a Brittany, those dogs are awesome and really smart! I really like boxers too, but if you have a busy life then they aren't a good dog for you.

The Dark trailer was cool. I'm really looking forward to that movie!
Steve_OS on May 2, 2012 at 10:24 AM.
LOL, that is awesome Dave.Hey Eater, toilet trained? I had no idea dogs could do that, LOL! How did you go about training?
I totally understand Boom. Newborns get all the attention!
boomhauertjs on May 2, 2012 at 10:17 AM.
I'm a cat person, mainly because they require a lot less attention and you can leave them for a couple of days.Right on about the driving gif and buying a new game! (though I haven't bought a game from a store in a couple of years).
QoTD: Since the birth of my son in January, this has dropped to very low levels. I'm lucky if I get an hour or two a week to play video games anymore. I'm hoping once my wife is comfortable with putting him down for the night earlier than when we go to bed, I'll have more gaming time.
Gramps91 on May 2, 2012 at 10:13 AM.
I have a chiuaua that is like the coolest pet I've ever owned by far. He is a genius. He's very observant and knows all his toys by name, most of the family members by name, he's so cool. He doesn't shed much either. Some chiuauas do though. He was also very easily toilet trained.
davefmurray on May 2, 2012 at 10:01 AM.
Get a Boxer puppy! Great with kids and super loyal. We have one, Chewie, who is now 1.5 years old and is completely awesome. We are expecting our first in September and he will be the ultimate playmate. He runs around and protects kids on the playground when they fall. It's awesome/hilarious and I would give my ultimate vote of confidence.
bomberooski on May 2, 2012 at 09:03 AM.
I was really hoping that Dark Knight Rising trailer would completely hook me. I'm still excited for this movie but that didn't add to my excitement at all. Grandma video was money!
xblake16x on May 2, 2012 at 03:50 AM.
I play basketball year round because my university offers that now. But in the fall also football and soccer. And in the spring I try to play soccer too but eh, whatever.In the summer I just play in a men's league for soccer. We have a group of young men, all 23 or under as of now, just coming off our first championship last summer (albeit, 2nd division, but still).

Oh man, absolutely. From the studios to the gym to the full sized field... that place is a helluva complex.And dammit, Steve, if I knew I was a goner then I would've went full on with my celebrations!
cmidd on May 1, 2012 at 10:41 PM.
Yeah, I'm sick of it too and I think they could do something about it... Fine them if it's an obvious flop, I don't think thats to hard or hand out technicals and if they still do it then fine the crap outta them... Give the coaches 2 or 3 chances to challenge a foul, then fine them for slowing the game down, it's so simple and needs to be fixed
decga on May 1, 2012 at 10:35 PM.
I would have sign him. He was going to get ten years, no matter what team he went. Maybe not as much money. Its similar to the ARod deal with Texas. Latin/Hispanic community mortage for that prime time Latin/Hispanic star. He is off to a terrible start, but I think he will still finish with his average yearly stats...
aloncho11 on May 1, 2012 at 10:25 PM.
QOTDNBA: Chicago Bulls- I started watching NBA basketball in the early 90's and was an immediate Bulls fan because of MJ, Pip and Horace Grant. Although I don't follow the game much today, I can say that a part of my heart is with the Bulls.
EPL: Arsenal- Dennis Bergkamp is another of my sport heroes and I followed his career closely both at Arsenal and for the Netherlands; two teams that have always played flashy and stylish Football.
NCAA Basketball: I have always supported teams that brought a different proposition on the court, be it The Wolverines, The Tar Heels, The Blue Devils, The Rebels, etc. I'm always looking for that special team that stands out from the rest.
redskinst21 on May 1, 2012 at 08:59 PM.
QoTD.......NFL- dad is a redskins fan so i followed suite...RGIII baby!!!!
MLB- Red sox till i die...im a new england native (hate every other boston team though)
NBA- Lakers all the way love me some KOBE!!! #6
Football (soccer) follow the galaxy in MLS always been a beckham fan since man u days. die hard AC Milan fan...love ibra even though he can be a nutcase.
NHL- only follow playoff hockey but i root for the hurricanes cause there my old hartford whalers. this year im pulling for the flyers wanna see jarg get the trophy and giroux has become my favorite player.
bomberooski on May 1, 2012 at 07:35 PM.
I try to get in one for each part of the year. Spring: Flag football
Summer: Softball
Fall: Flag football
Winter: Basketball
All of them are leagues through the cities Parks and Rec. Keeps me feeling young
Phobia on May 1, 2012 at 06:36 PM.
LOL Steve got jokes. Nice write up Kelvin! EA Vancouver is badass huh?? When i went for OS for Fight Night Champions I was in awe how amazing their facility is.
sportznut02 on May 1, 2012 at 05:47 PM.
Great to see the morning other stuff back on the front page of OS. Also congratulations Steve on making OS your full time job. I can`t wait to see where OS goes from here with you on board full time.The cat in the grill was great and there were some pretty impressive playgrounds.
QOTD:
MLB-Cleveland Indians
NBA-Cleveland Cavs
NFL-Cleveland Browns
College Football and College Basketball- Michigan Wolverines.
The Ohio teams are easy because I grew up in north central Ohio. I picked up on Michigan basketball and football because of an older cousin. I had a cousin 2 years older than me who liked Michigan around 5 or 6 I decided to like Michigan because he did.
Scott on May 1, 2012 at 05:24 PM.
as far as my favorite teams go: Longhorns, Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers.
PioneerRaptor on May 1, 2012 at 03:32 PM.
QOTD:NFL: Philadelphia Eagles - I was a fan of the Cowboys because of my dad, then the Titans because of Eddie George, then eventually the Eagles because the time when I really got into football, I watched them bet the New York Jets in like 2003 or so.
NCAA FB: Oklahoma Sooners - Didn't get into College football until I met my best friend, he is a Sooners fan and I followed suit.
MLB: Texas Rangers - Hometown Team. Baseball is really the only other sport I follow besides Football and College Football.
NBA: Dallas Mavericks - Hometown Team. Cheer for them in the playoffs, otherwise don't keep up.
NHL: Dallas Stars - Hometown Team. Same as above.
Steve_OS on May 1, 2012 at 03:26 PM.
LOL! It was a pleasure to meet you Kelvin! Japadogs FTW!Nice knowing you! Time to find a new writer for soccer and hockey.
Ermolli on May 1, 2012 at 03:08 PM.
Thanks for bringing again Other Stuff, I'm sure those will make my day when I'm not in a good mood.The Brain Fart article was really interesting, I hate those moments specially when I had something important to say. The onces that occur me a lot are the one with the doors and the phones, once in a while I've the feeling I got a message because I felt some movement in my pants.
TDKR trailer was great, July can't come quick enough.
I don't get the 3D printer, I can't understand it, maybe it's too technological to me.
The granma ad and the cats' gif were funny, it got me some laughs.
QOTD:
First and most important to me by far is Nacional. It's my local futbol team and one of the two best in our country and one of the top teams in South America. I began loving it because of my dad and uncle, liking a futbol team over here is mainly influenced by your family and in very rare ocasions the kid prefers other local team.
After Nacional in futbol I support Liverpool and Napoli mainly because of Suarez and Cavani respectively and then any team which has an Uruguayan player in it.
Besides futbol I like Minnesota Timberwolves since the post-KG era because I tend to like to cheer for the underdog I guess and because I liked the logo and jerseys.
jWILL253 on May 1, 2012 at 02:55 PM.
That cat doing the sneak-up assault was awesome, lol.QOTD:
1. Seattle Seahawks. I didn't seriously start watching football until about 2004. The first thing I remember seeing was Shaun Alexander ripping off a large run. From then on, I was a fan.
2. Seattle Sonics. www.sonicsgate.org
3. Seattle Mariners, but the more they keep loding, the less of a fan I am. I mean, how can you continue to be a fan of a team that's been in rebuilding mode for 8 STRAIGHT YEARS???
4. Seattle Sounders FC. From the very first inaugural year, they've been one of the best teams in MLS...
Kentucky_Wildcat23 on May 1, 2012 at 02:43 PM.
NFL- Steelers (Family Team)MLB- Redsox (Fell in love with them at a young age)
NBA- LeBron James (Never had a real favorite team. Just wherever LeBron is playing)
NHL- Penguins (Family team)
College- Kentucky Wildcats (Got a jersey when I was 10 and have been a fan ever since)
scottyo60 on May 1, 2012 at 02:09 PM.
QOTD:College and #1 overall Marshall. Grew up with season tickets and never missed games.
NFL: Raiders, love the history.
MLB: Cubs, grew up watching WGN on long summers in WV
NBA: Celtics... Followed Garnett and my dad has always been a big Celtic fan.
NHL: Devils! No real reason
So glad to see other stuff back.
msuhockeycj on May 1, 2012 at 02:00 PM.
When can you talk about Fifa 13 and the actual content of your trip?
davefmurray on May 1, 2012 at 01:59 PM.
Favorite Teams:NFL: Colts, Bucs
NBA: Magic
NHL: Lightning
NCAA: Gators
MLB: Rays
EPL: Arsenal
I'm a Florida boy from Indianapolis. I was a Colts fan from way early and I've stuck with them.
Steve_OS on May 1, 2012 at 01:38 PM.
Glad you guys enjoy the return. It will once again be a staple for your morning.
jmik58 on May 1, 2012 at 01:38 PM.
Oh... I forgot to add...Orlando Magic - I was a big fan of the Penny Hardaway and Shaq days
jmik58 on May 1, 2012 at 01:38 PM.
I'm also one who religiously visited OS for Steve's daily "Other Stuff"...very happy you're back at it.QOTD:
Kansas City Chiefs - I grew up in northern Missouri and the Chiefs were a force in the 90's...oh and some guy named Derrick Thomas (the reason I put 58 in my username)
St. Louis Cardinals - Growing up in Missouri plus a poor Royals team. (As a side note I also have been partial to the Braves but have lost interest since Chipper is the only guy left from the great teams of the 90's. They were on TBS every day and they were awesome. I''ll always have a soft spot for Atlanta)
St. Louis Blues - because I have to choose someone, might as well go local again.
Iowa Hawkeyes football - I'm a huge college football fan and I don't care that much about other sports at the collegiate level, but Ferentz and his staff have always run a program that appeals to my midwestern roots.
JohnDoe8865 on May 1, 2012 at 01:23 PM.
It's freakin great to see the "Other Stuff" back on the OS Main Page Steve! QOTD:
NFL - Carolina Panthers
NBA - Charlotte Bobcats (soon the Hornets again I hope)
MLB - Cincinnati Reds & Baltimore Orioles
NCAA Basketball - Wake Forest
NCAA Football - Appalachian State and the service academies
Blaze125 on May 1, 2012 at 12:43 PM.
Loved the brain farts article. The most interesting was the phantom vibrations from your phone, I hate when that happens and it's nice to know why it does now. The Splinter Cell cat was awesome too.QOTD:
NFL - Detroit Lions, hometown team
MLB - Detroit Tigers, hometown team
NBA - Detroit Pistons, hometown team
NHL - Toronto Maple Leafs, My Dad was a fan of them and I didn't really like the Red Wings growing up, so they're my team now.
College Football & Basketball - Michigan State (Liked them better than Michigan), Western Michigan (Where I go to school)
Timmy458 on May 1, 2012 at 12:15 PM.
Glad to have this back.QOTD: Big fan of all the University of Oregon teams.
Mariners ever since the mid 90's.
Spurs and Blazers for the NBA, been a fan of the Blazers for life and been a Spurs fan ever since they drafted Tim Duncan, always liked the way he played the game.
BurghFan on May 1, 2012 at 11:48 AM.
I like the brain farts article.QOTD: You need look no further than my username and forum avatar. I've lived in Pitsburgh my whole life and am a diehard fan of all of my hometown teams. As for the NBA, I don't follow it much but I consider myself a Bulls fan probably partly because of MJ and partly because of their red and black unis (red is my favorite color).
schnaidt1 on May 1, 2012 at 11:16 AM.
FOR YEARS THE DAILY OTHER STUFF WAS MY FAVORITE PARTY OF OPERATION SPORTS!! SO VERY THANKFUL YOU HAVE BROUGHT THIS BACK!!
JBkiLLa25 on May 1, 2012 at 10:40 AM.
QOTD: Denver Broncos bc in 1995 they changed there logo and as a lido thought it looked cool and then they won two straight super bowls. New York Yankees bc of Derek Jeter. Always have liked the Yankees.
L.A. Clippers bc of Blake griffin and then CP3 came over and made it even better.
Dallas Stars bc I have to haw a team from the state I was born and live in haha.
Steve_OS on May 1, 2012 at 10:34 AM.
Hey gg, I'm with you on the FSU chant. Love college sports, but don't really have a favorite team, just pull for the upset and 4 way ties at the end of the season! Would love to see 4 undefeated teams at the end of a season, just to put more pressure for a playoff system.
ggsimmonds on May 1, 2012 at 10:25 AM.
The cat sleeping on the grill was awesome. Cats will make themselves comfortable in any spot.QoTD
Baltimore Ravens, Baltimore Orioles, Washington Wizards= hometown teams. wish Baltimore had an NBA team
Florida State Seminoles= In many ways they originally got me into sports. As a young child I would watch Seminole football games and think the war chant was just so awesome. I may not have understood the game but 80000 people doing the war chant was the coolest thing I ever saw.
PantherBeast_OS on May 1, 2012 at 10:18 AM.
Steveo glad you can spend more with your OSers and getting know us all. Glad to you are enjoying your full time job on here. 
Steve_OS on May 1, 2012 at 10:16 AM.
Ya elTodd, that video had me in tears.Boom, the Knicks played so well w/ Lin in the lineup, but I agree, Melo and Stat have no chemistry. Doubt they would win the series with or without him, it's unfortunate Lin was injured. Definitely would have been an intriguing match-up.
boomhauertjs on May 1, 2012 at 10:14 AM.
Glad you're back to doing the daily links Steve and really happy for you that you're able to make OS your full-time gig.I'm wondering if the Knicks might be better off without Amare since it's pretty obvious he and Carmelo have zero chemistry on the court.
QoTD:
Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavs - Thanks Dad. I look forward to passing on the curse to my 3-month old son.
Dayton Flyers - Proud alum.
elTodd on May 1, 2012 at 10:10 AM.
The "Let Grandma Rest in Peace" video was hilarious. Made my day.
Working...
