  1. Zimmer's a fucking retread
  2. It occurs to me that Jerry's plan is to hire an OC - and now a DC. His tight ass can squeeze out enough money for that level, but to get the very best, he's gonna have to promise one that if your Offense (or Defense) shines, you will be the head coach when FatLazy's contract runs out. He'll throw in that "you have to continue to exhibit the leadership of an HC, but we already know you got that." Now with two Coordinator slots open, he can play one against the other for that HC position. Make the same promise to both. Also, he can tell each coordinator candidate "Look, you can just ignore anything the Fat Fuck tells you. Do your job and make your Offense (Defense) shine, and you'll be a shoe-in come next season." The plan could work. If you're a cheapskate, how else you gonna get a young, innovative HC ala Shanahan?
  3. Vikings vid is VHQ. Saw Safety Harris - was Phil his first name. Wonder if Charlie Waters was in that game. Six years later, Dorsett breaks his 99-yd TD run from scrimmage against the Vikes. We all knew at the time it had to be the longest in history and that it would never be broken. Dorsett was fucking awesome. His rushing records stood until Emmett came along. Smith was no slouch either.
  4. Leone put together big budget cinematography with big budget music, slowed the pacing down and threw in Clint Eastwood. Guess you gotta think big. Ennio Morricone was no slouch either. Big budget movies out the ass. Orchestras all over the world have been playing his stuff. If you want to see something astounding watch the HM Royal Marines perform Ecstacy of Gold (from the graveyard scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). Make sure your speakers are on. Likewise, check out Deborah's theme from Once Upon a Time in America (featuring young Jennifer Connelly and the adorable Elizabeth McCovern. That's a good fucking movie. Long but 8.3/10 on IMDB
  5. Aikman talking to Stephen A - short version. Hope this hasn't been posted, but it's worth a listen. You can gleen a few tidbits from Aikman's comments. Some commercialization by Sports Junkie I could do without. Biggest takeaway, Jimmy Johnson was more upset than the Dallas coaches at halftime. Re Aikman: it was a miracle we got him instead of Mandarich. He continues to give back to football and Cowboy fans. Talk about a throwback to better times... Outstanding announcer IMHO.
  6. Take the 3, motherfucker
  7. Glad KC won. That said, once again, a close game is ruined by a failure to call an obvious holding call in the secondary. Same old shit.
  8. Fucker wanted to be the hero, forgot the first rule of carrying the ball.
  9. Turtling like the Cowboys?
  10. looked like DPI to me
  11. Ferrari. Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz. Awful. No real story, just a few dramatic moments. Lead character never does anything except talk to other people - actually, that's pretty much all any character does.
  12. No doubt, at some point, drunk or sad as hell, Jones confided to his son or his wife - I just didn't realize what I was doing when I gave Prescott that fat ass contract. The Jackass of Cheap ruined this team.
  13. Change team colors to pink. Dallas Pussyboys. "Coach McCarthy cares about us as human beings..." "He's just a big lovable Teddy Bear..." "We'll get better - we promise..."
  14. Apparently the NFL has now decided that beginning next season, receivers will begin wearing harnesses with large chrome handles on either side of their back that make will it easier to grab onto them when they try to run a route. This was a response to the outcry from D backs that it was getting too hard to try and keep up with the receivers and it was requiring all kinds of exercise during practices.
  15. So just finished the final episode of Rome (2005) (8.7/10 at IMDB). Haven't seen it since it premiered. What an amazing piece of historical fiction about the last days of the Roman Empire condensed into a few years. A strong friendship forms between two warriors who in many ways couldn't be more different. Great acting all around. Unforgettable characters include Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Cleopatra and about twenty others. Epic. The two men are Lucius Veronus, a by the book Roman commander and Titus Pullo, a brawling drunk, also in Caesar's army. Brings to life the daily life in ancient Rome. Very authentic realization. The story was not designed to go for more than two seasons, and the producers didn't sell out.
  16. Haven't seen those. Thinking about it. It's pretty cutting edge.
  17. If percentages meant you'd come out even going for two, people would be doing it all the time. Everyone kicks EPs.
  18. And that was PI all the way
  19. Theoretically you have the mo. WTF was he thinking. Another score and it's overtime. Horrible fucking decision
  20. Nice halftime adjustments, Texans... That said, couldn't help but feel refs were helping to keep Balt. on top. The holding of receivers was every play.
  21. Talk about last second victories. Go Horns! Fuck BAAylor.
  22. LOA: pretty good movie, but doesn't it begin with hero running off the road at a high speed with a motorcycle? Okay, Ted (2012) turned out to be pretty funny. Should probably point out that the series is a Prequel of sorts, taking place while John is a teenager. Less structure. Throw in goofy parents and hot aunt. No Mila Kunis in her prime.
