  1. The Volt concept was a really cool looking car. The reality was really meh. Yes, the transition from concept to what will actually be plausible in the real world is usually substantial, but this was quite disappointing.

    You misspelled it. 😉 (Sorry, Gabby.)

    Yeah, Angelina is a reality show All-Timer in terms of lack of self awareness, both during the game and after. 

    As noted above, I agree Nick absolutely killed it during the jury Q&A, one of the best jobs ever. Pretty satisfying season, ok with the winner.

    we haven't had a 1000 yard rusher since who knows when.  ingram can be that back but we need a fucking oline who can consistently block.  

    when we show that we can run the ball, RBs will start making us a priority.  

    it all goes back to the oline which makes guys like shep a priority. 

    We had a 2,000 yard rusher/Doak Walker winner in 2016, but agree we need studs at RB

    You're forgetting something major, and I mean MAJOR players

    I’m not going to include Robert Romanus and Brian Backer in my pitch, but they’ll be there, too.

    (Holy Shit, both those assholes are now 62 years old!)

    And Fuck Dennis Taylor, I’m not gonna apologize to that wimp! 

    (Dennis Taylor having “Dennis Taylor” as his name and avatar is still one of the greatest things on these sites.)

  5. Cameron Crowe writes and directs (maybe Amy Heckerling directs) a semi-comedic drama about a group of middle aged Southern Californians, reunited some 35 years after graduation. The funeral of their crotchety yet beloved social studies teacher may be a device that gets some to return.

    Stars Academy Award winner Forrest Whitaker as a former pro football player dealing with loss of fame, fortune and an increasingly bad case of CTE. 

    Academy Award winner Sean Penn is a lifelong stoner, dealing with the consequences of prolonged adolescence, He still has Stoner Buds Anthony Edwards and Eric Stoltz as friends, but Edwards is now a bald accountant who tries to get Penn’s character to grow up. 

    Academy Award winner Nic Cage owns the local All American Burger, and hires non-Oscar winner Judge Reinhold to manage it. Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh is the emotional center of the film, returning to town after a long absence and discovering how things have changed (the mall has been bulldozed, and they do have cable TV). Her best friend in HS, played by Phoebe Cates, went on to become an actress, but gave up het career in her 20’s after marrying a more successful, older actor.

  6. Not a great call there, but the previous play was a good call, the regarded back apparently doesn’t have his hands connected to his brain impulses.

    edited to agree with Vic, maybe don’t use a spare in that situation

    I asked the provost at Trinity why they had 60 players on their baseball roster.  He said, "We're not recruiting these guys to play baseball.  We're recruiting them to pay tuition."

    Ahh, that helps explain why (according to the ESPNU broadcast team) Mount Union has 200 players on the team. They don’t cut anyone... need Pops to cut the checks. Makes sense now. Junior wants to say he “played college ball.”
