  1. How did CBS get Eagles/Giants game? I thought they only had AFC games. Special agreement for playoff relevant games at the end of the season?
  2. No more points period, unless we go up big and play backups.
  3. Name the team for future HOFer Noah Knigga.
  4. Same reason the QB gets an INT when a ball goes through a receivers hands to the defender. It's a team game. So shitty for Aubrey.
  5. Fuck you Fassel. I blame him. Still an incredible season for Aubrey.
  6. Did Dak really throw it there on purpose? Lol, if so, amazing.
  7. Nice hands Pollard!
  8. Blow them out, sit some players in the second. That would be ideal, but unlikely. Nice stop.

    NFL- Week 18

    Full body yoga pants? Yeah I’m okay with that.
  10. On the health and safety side, I really think it could improve massively if there was a universal agreement among all levels to fundamentally change tackling techniques. Way too much bearing down and launching the body, especially from linebackers and in the secondary. I wish it could be more scrum like tackling. I’d even support reducing the number of eligible receivers and encouraging a stronger focus on power running. I’d give the secondary way more leeway in how they defend so that more contact occurs prior to the ball arriving so there’s less “lowering the boom” in the secondary. Recent rule changes seem to favor the receivers and just encourages passing to the sidelines and over the middle where the most dangerous hits occur. It would still be a game the way we recognize it but a little different. I know it would never happen though because there’s way too many meatheads involved who will refuse to change tackling techniques and call it “pussification” or whatnot. Edit: I also know that there’s CTE issues among linemen from continuous knocks but the most visible and career ending concussions are happening in the secondary.
  11. Finally saw it and liked it a lot, but I have some thoughts and criticisms. First, I don’t think it was too long, so no criticism there. I think I’m just not a fan of Leo when they force him into something more that what he is normally. The underbite was distracting the whole film and some of his lines in that accent were bad. I also think they made Mollie look really weak and stupid towards the end when they had so much going on in her presence and she seemed to kind of get it but not really. In real life I assume it was more covert and hidden from her before they were caught and arrested. In the film he’s arrested, they know, and she still is in denial. At the time she likely wouldn’t have had much of a voice but they could have portrayed her stronger before the end scene or had it more covert and hidden from her, especially after recovering from the drugging. Along those lines, I agree with the decision to focus less on Tom White from the book, but agree the focus should have been Mollie and not Ernest. They really tried to paint him as more complex than a bad guy. The book does that too so there’s probably truth to it, but on film it felt off. It also didn’t make sense that they fell in love, she literally only says that he was handsome. Again, the book makes it seem somewhat genuine of a relationship, but it just didn’t feel right on film. I think in real life there was probably far more arranged marriage feel to these inter marriages when everyone knew it was about the money. I just didn’t feel any real sense of romance between them, it felt forced. Deniro was excellent. Perfect portrayal in my opinion from the book and from what else we know about William Hale. Fraser overacted, by a lot. He could portray the drama in far more convincing fashion, in my opinion. Ultimately, as big as Scorsese is and as good as he is, I don’t like how much focus he got from this, including putting himself in the damn film. He very genuinely worked with the Osage, but they were never going to say no, and there was only so much they could do for him to create a genuine portrayal of the Osage people and the times. It just doesn’t feel like his story to tell. I would have preferred someone like Sterlin Harjo directing or at least having a big co-role in the portrayal. I’m very biased though because I absolutely love Rez Dogs. I think a voice like his would have given a better portrayal of Mollie. Finally, Lily Gladstone deserves the Oscar, period. I met her at an event here in Tulsa and she doesn’t stand out physically, but she had a presence that was intimidating, in a good way, like being in the presence of royalty. And I hadn’t even seen the film yet (loved her in Rez Dogs though so again some bias). So not a perfect film but well done and happy a broad audience gets to know the story.
  12. There’s a hefty fine involved but why would they not just throw in the towel? Never understood how the league thinks it can stop this when the incentives are clear as day. Even with lottery NBA teams tank often.
  13. There are two qbs considered worthy of the top pick so they want that two spot for sure. Hope they roll over and let us rest some guys in the second half. But they hate us as much as we hate them so who knows.
  14. RG III is gonna have a field day with his over exaggerated style and obsession with nicknames. It’s gonna be funny for a minute, then exhausting.
  15. The jumbotron at WVU better have this queued up for when he makes a play, otherwise they suck at life.
  16. I don’t get the problem either. Hold on to the ball asshole.
  17. This IASIP clip always made me laugh.
  18. Hadn't heard that she pursued him, so big if, but if true, it does change the dynamic quite a bit. Still super unethical and adulterous, but having chicks come on to you because your rich/powerful is not uncommon, so his problem was not saying no, in that scenario, if true. It is way different than using your wealth/power to convince chicks working for you to sleep with you who otherwise aren't 100% confortable with it. I still think the Paula Jones thing, the way I recall it, was way more problematic than getting a blowie from an intern, assuming it was consensual.
  19. It's okay to put peanut butter on your balls and let your dog lick it off. Because it's your dog. They made a documentary about it around 2000.
  20. Were they talking about NAFTA?
  21. Someone better protect that cat or it'll happen 8 more time.
  22. It's not the refs goddamned job to help him deceive the defense. The rule literally says it's intention is to avoid deception. Fuck that meathead fuck.
