  1. You must like having high blood pressure. Finished TIM and that shit made me ragey as fuck.
  2. All of this. Tons of actors are great at emoting, not acting. They don't act like normal fucking people and their performances override the character they're supposed to be portraying. Keanu doesn't do that shit. Doesn't mean he's a bad actor. It means he's humble enough to not make the entire movie about him. Which makes him relatable. He's arguably one of the greatest action movie actors ever. Putting aside the insane amount of work he puts in to learn martial arts, use weapons, etc., his acting style allows the audience to put themselves in his shoes as the lead. You make the Matrix with anyone else and it probably fucking sucks (I think Will Smith was in the running at one point and hoo boy that would have been a trainwreck). Keanu plays stuck, bored, corporate slacker/malcontent to a T and then perfectly encapsulates what all of us would be like if we got sucked out into a dystopia where robots use humans as batteries. Oh, and unlike all the other kiddie diddling creeps and assholes in Hollywood, he's a good dude. Gave away a ton of his money to the people that worked on the Matrix, IIRC. He's like #2 behind Tom Hanks as all-time nice guys in show business.
  3. Quandre Diggs prolly deserved to be on the list instead of as an alternate. He has been great this year.
  4. Must be nice to be Canelo. At best he deserved to come away from his two fights with Golovkin with a loss and a draw. In a just world, two losses. Instead he gets a win and a draw out of the deal. Now he's being paid an insane amount of money to fight way overmatched guys like Fielding.
  5. These offenses will never be stopped. Because the people running the sport don't want them to be stopped. The Big 12 refs hardly ever call holding because the Big 12 is the pass-happy Air Raid league and calling holding every other play like they should would shut that down. The NFL wants more points. So they've structured the game to where that happens. Like PI being thrown on any 'ol ticky tack contact with a receiver. They've also been able to give themselves cover from the concussion/physical damage problem while also ramping the scoring up by making QBs untouchable and flagging any semi-hard hit a defender gives out. If defenses somehow manage to evolve to combat this stuff then the people running college football and the NFL will just slap more rules on to make sure offenses stay out in front.

    Tucker bout to be up for a long field goal to try and close this over KC.

    Which numbnuts last week was saying Sanchez was better than Colt? The Skins had a shot at the playoffs with Colt in there. With Sanchez they're not going to win another game.
  10. I knew there were secret menu items at Sonic! You gotta order the extra long hotdog w/ X-tra relish. Bang. Rolling at the Sonic Drive-In.
  11. Dude shills for Ohio St. when he can. Obviously he couldn't do that much this year what with all the wife beating and covering it up and whatnot. After Ohio St., he's a good little employee and shills for the $EC because of ESPN's contract with them. There's a reason $EC teams schedule a bunch of FCS pansies each and every year. Because they can get away with it because the sports media is in their pocket. Fucking Kentucky whose QB looks like he belongs in Pop Warner has been ranked in the Top 25 all damn year. Gotta keep those $EC teams in the rankings so when they finally get matched up against a legit $EC team they can boost the SOS so it evens out all the directional schools and Sisters of the Poor Alabama, Georgia, and the rest play. Fuck Hitler Youth Herbie, fuck those mongoloids from the dark recesses of Ohio, fuck "lets insert politics into all of our sports coverage" ESPN, and fuck this lame ass 4 team playoff where some hacks in a back room decide who gets to go.
  12. Colt was 4 for 4 for a 12.5 YPA before going out. He's better than "Butt Sack" Sanchez by a country mile.
  13. Just commenting on the judges screwing fighters over. And Golovkin beat the piss out of Canelo in their first match. He was all over him from start to finish and it took the most outrageous scorecard anyone has ever seen from one judge (even worse than the Mexican judge in this fight) to make it a draw. Hell, the scorecard that had it a draw in Golovkin v. Canelo 1 was criminal in and of itself. Was it as lopsided as this fight? No. Still awful though.
  14. Yeah, it's rather amazing how poor a boxer Wilder is after this many fights. Dude just wildly swings until he lands one upside your head. Has no jab to speak of. Has no real defense. Of course, it doesn't really matter because of how poor the heavyweight division is. He's been able to rack up 40 wins and 39KOs doing the same basic shit.
  15. Golovkin is sitting watching this decision going "Yep. I've seen this shit before." Unless your name is Floyd Mayweather, you better put your opponent to sleep if you want to ensure you get the victory. If you ever let it go to the judges you can't count on shit.
  16. Tyson Fury got up just like the Undertaker. I don't know how the fuck he got up from that shit. Wilder was completely gassed or he would have finished Fury in the 12th. Fury probably deserved that win, even with the two knockdowns. He was working Wilder the entire time. And congrats to Olexsander Gvodzk on knocking out Adonis Stephenson earlier in the night. Nice dude with a lot of talent and has Teddy Atlas in his corner. These Ukrainians ain't nothing to fuck with.
  17. I think I enjoyed having Scott "Super" Derry on our team at linebacker more than Hager. So, yeah.
  18. Yeah, Big 12 bigwigs aren't going to let the conference miss out on a playoff spot.
  19. Someone tell Beck and Co. they're playing Oklahoma. Who has no defense. Stop with the trick play horseshit and throwing wide. You have receivers who are about ten feet taller than the opposing DBs. Get them downfield and let it rip.
  20. Well Boyd kept us from blanking them on that drive, but holding them to 3 is a win in my book.
  21. This. GDGD was the king of throwing short of the sticks on 3rd down. Opposing teams would always play up on our receivers. And GDGD would always have us chucking the bubble screen into that shit. Over and over and over. There's nothing wrong with using the bubble screen to punish opposing defenses for playing too far off your receivers. But it should never be something showing up on every series. Unless the defense refuses to play up on you ever, you're probably not running it more than 2-3 times a game. Somehow GDGD decided we should run it 10+ times a game. Against defenses who weren't playing off the line. Which means it ended up as a wasted play a large amount of the time. Another thing that always left me scratching my head with this shit was that we usually ran a modified form of the bubble screen. On the bubble screen, the receiver catching the ball is lined up closer to the QB and behind his blockers on that side of the field. The ball is snapped and he gets a running start where he's curving out further behind his teammates. This lets him get up to speed a bit before he ever reaches a defender. What we would do is just line up in essentially tight trips and one receiver would step back, stand stock still, and wait for the ball. No speed, no momentum, and the receiver is closer to the defenders who now just have to barge ahead to slow and/or stop the play. I suppose this would just be called a screen pass and isn't technically a bubble screen, though they're essentially trying to do the same thing. Either way, we sucked at it and we never stopped running it. Also, it matters who your personnel are. A guy like Roy Williams could house that shit because he can beat a defender one on one. When you're lacking a huge dude like Roy, you also need someone out there who can actually throw a block. Towards the tail end of GDGD's and Mack's tenure here, they had neither. Constantly running the same shit and throwing short of the sticks works when you've got the athletes to out-muscle and out-quick the other team. It's a recipe for failure when you don't. Which kinda sums up Mack and Davis, don't it? Crush the inferior competition with your mega-athletes. Get worked by teams that you can't out-athlete to the tune of oh, I dunno, 65-13 or something like that.

    Are we sure these refs aren't from the Big 12? 'Cause they're awful.

    Someone tell these assholes they can't be the Big 12.

    I thought the $EC was supposed to be good at football. These teams stink.
