I'm working on a new singles team, and I am looking for some input, particularly advice on the 6th Pokemon for my team. I have imagined a more defensive lineup, with Dragonite serving as the key Pokemon. This would be a competitive team for online battles.

As a side note, I'm trying to avoid legendaries if at all possible.

I've considered many Pokemon for my 6th slot, but I cannot decide which to use; however, I am leaning towards using a Ground-type. What would you recommend?

I should note that I am playing Pokemon Platinum and I am unable to trade. Thanks.

I am looking for the most reliable Nintendo DS Emulator for my PC. I have used No$GBA in the past, but I've found it too unreliable and unstable. Ideally, I'd like an emulator as refined and reliable as the VBA is for GBA games. What options do I have, and where (if possible) can I download this emulator? Thanks.

I am a bit confused as to how common games are used to break a tie for NFL wild card seeding when the common team is a divisional opponent of one team but not the other.

For instance, in trying to break the tie between the New York Jets and San Diego Chargers, let's assume that the Jets lose to Chicago and Buffalo and the Chargers beat Cincinnati and Denver to close the season. This would leave each team with an overall record of 10-6, a conference record of 8-4, and four common opponents: NE, CIN, DEN, and HOU.

San Diego lost to NE, but the Jets split the season series with NE. How would this be recorded for the sake of common games? Would the Jets get a win and SD a loss, or would the Jets be judged based on both NE games?

Thank you very much.

Who do you think the Jets will draft in the first round of the NFL Draft (29th pick overall)?

I'm a White Sox fan, and I've been thinking about the White Sox center field situation. That got me to thinking: realistically, what would the White Sox have to trade for OF Reed Johnson of the Cubs? Thanks!

My girlfriend is considering transferring to Ball State University in Muncie, IN. I don't have a car, and in case she does decide to transfer, I'm looking for a way to see her. It doesn't necessarily have to be a bus service, but I checked Amtrak and they don't have a station in that town. Any suggestions? Thanks!
