    The strength of their team is the bottomless depth on the DL and this is what they’re expending their resources on. 

    It’s crazy they still have bottomless depth at DL considering their portal losses. 

    Jimbo came to do two things, recruit defensive lineman and cash Aggie checks. And he ran out of Aggie checks.

    Maybe there were, I wasn't aware of them.

    Pro tip, if you don’t really know what you are talking about, try to avoid declarative statements like:

    Blue never had an attitude problem, it was the media (and us to a degree) projecting that sort of thing onto him because he skipped his senior year.

    So everyone who doesn't see a path to starting and enters the portal has attitude issues? Apparently Blue's wasn't too bad since he was either talked into coming back and/or allowed to come back if he decided on his own.
     

    You said everything was based on him skipping his senior year. That isn’t true. 

    Nobody is saying he shouldn’t have been let back on the team, and it was clearly a good choice by all involved. That doesn’t mean there weren’t a ton of red flags that had him on a short leash.

    These days I'm not sure a 5* skipping their senior year would cause such speculation..but probably would anyway.

    He also announced (not sure if he officially entered) that he was going to the transfer portal after his 1st year

    This movie is so good, I only roll my eyes a little bit during Anne Hathaway's "love is the 4th dimension" spiel.

    This. I really like a lot about it but that scene is so stupid it pretty much eliminates it from any “best of” lists for me.

    I know he's a shtick. But that's his job. That's what ESPN pays him 8 figures to do.

    Kind of a "hate the game not the player" situation. 

    This is right. Anyone who burns any calories hating SAS (or Skip Bayles) are falling for the obvious three card monte game they are playing. 

    Find them entertaining or ignore them, but raging against them means you fell for it.

    I'm Team Q.  I hope he can keep it all together.

    Q is sort of weird. It feels like his personality and energy completely changes from scene to scene

    How do you define, "never excellent" in HS? 

    I agree it never translated at Bama, but wasn't he a Top 20 prospect in Texas?

    Being ranked as a top 20 prospect by recruiting services and being an excellent hs football player aren’t always the same thing. 

    Saban/bama saw his potential and thought they could get him there. They didn’t

    There's no way Blackshire sees the field at that weight. He'd be in the 97th percentile of all NFL combine LBs since 1999, and nearly everyone around that weight are from pre-2012.

    Yeah, unless we play a triple option team next season he shouldn’t see the field at 261. 

    Goosby at 313 seems like a positive development. Pretty sure he was well under 3 bills in HS, and weight and strength were his main question marks.

    I think the important thing to note is that we can all agree that the guy ESPN put #1 has zero business even being in the conversation for #1 as shown here. 

    Also, Newton's stats were behind VY's when adjusted for snaps played and statistical environment (the latter being less of an adjustment but still there).

    Yeah, even taking out bias for UT players, without even considering Vince there are probably 5 guys that are easily over him and more that have good arguments. I’m not positive he’s even the best Sooner qb, I think I would put Bradford over him. 

    Putting UT player bias back in, Colt is closer to Mayfield than Baker is to VY.

    Using "important" as a descriptor when referring to any particular music or musical piece itself or to the musician / composer / singer as if its importance is somehow world-affecting on the macro level seems aggrandizing and silly to me.

    Maybe “important” is overused when it comes to some art, but using the Beatles as your example for this doesn’t really help your point. 

    They actually did change society on a macro level. There is an entire Wikipedia page dedicated solely to their cultural impact. 

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_the_Beatles

    I think you are underestimating how linked popular culture is to capitalism, politics, and pretty everything else that you think of as “important”.

    Pardon me for white knighting for RR.  But he's the kinda guy who if he gets interference from Disney for too many d*ck jokes, he'll just stop making the movie.  You don't mess with art.  Ryan Reynolds won't let you.

    Maybe I’m missing the Deadpool level of irony here, but are you really holding up the star of Red Notice, Free Guy, and the Hitman’s Bodyguard as a pillar of artistic integrity?

    This looks good, especially compared to the recent run of superhero movies, but Reynolds is the king of empty money grabs.

    If the ember of a song is an obvious vocal usage, then cut to the studio production followed by a short celebratory montage of onto the next bigger plane, that's what makes some biopics suck.

    I canceled some Valentines Day primo Alamo Draft House seats, but for other reasons.

     

    Two Biopics that didn't suck - The Doors, and Rocketman

    Walk Hard basically buried this type of biopic forever.
