  1. So ridiculous. Two third downs in a row Brady gets a phantom call to extend drive. Recognizing that he’s the goat of qbs, the league really screws with his legacy pulling this junk.
  2. Not a movie but Band of Brothers should be in the queue. Separately, surprised American Beauty is on the list, any particular reason there?
  3. Wow. Two of the worst cuts I’ve seen tonight on this card. Gregory Rodrigues gets split between the eyes and still wins. Song Yadong battles until the doc says no mas.
  4. I don’t know anything of the source material beyond the Hobbitt and LOTR books/movies but I had some thoughts: Meteor Man is no friend. With the line in Ep 1 about torches giving off no heat and then in Ep 2 Nori says the coals around the impact site are not hot. And he wants to get to Mordor. Apparently Adar is a fallen or corrupted elf. According to my son who googled. I think Harbrand becomes one of the ring wraiths that we see in the LOTR. Perhaps even the lead one. Elves not just being a cheat code is good to see. Having them being captured and enslaved by the orcs, Galadriel doesn’t just easily escape, etc Visually this show is great. Numenor, Khazad Dum, etc have all looked amazing. Really liking it this far.
  5. Yes. Deboer was the IU OC for his breakout year in 2019 so the thought is reuniting will help the UW offense hit the ground running a bit. Penix hasn’t made it through a full season so the rest of the room better be ready.
  6. Perhaps I’m being whooshed, but I don’t think I know anyone who would argue that Baldwin wasn’t the best hands down. Great movie. Find myself stopping and watching every time I see it on.
  7. Just watched on Hulu. Pretty predictable but entertaining enough. I’ve definitely seen worse Predator movies. Yes they missed in showing Comanche horseback prowess.
  8. Because the PAC 12/10 is in their negotiating window and the networks/bidders are trying to drive down their worth with “leaks” for public consumption?
  9. Had to be. That was insane. sucks for Ortega. He’ll be back though and they’ll do it again.
  10. Just returned from Charleston area. First time there and really like it. Second the Obstinate Daughter recommendation. It’s on Sullivan’s Island and I thought was great. In mount pleasant is a pizza place called Coastal Crust. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their pizza. Cool outdoor area too. Upset that we didn’t go to Lewis. I had it on the list but some couple claiming to be from TX convinced the group to go to Poogan’s Smokehouse saying it was the “closest thing to home”and was about a one minute walk from where we we were at the time so we went there. Meh.
  11. Only caught the last three fights. good to see Joanna get retired. That spinning back fist connected perfectly. valentina fight was lame. Close but not exciting. main event was crazy. I can’t remember I fight where I was like “no, no” and then they go ahead and do it. I think Jiri was so gassed he just stayed in bad spots and Glover took advantage. Glover had him finished on the feet and went for the guillotine and lost him. Then Jiri finishes it with the RNC with 30 seconds left. Crazy.
  12. Caught pieces on History Channel marathon yesterday. Can pick it up at any point and get sucked in. Stayed up to watch the end of Points - as noted above, the recap during their baseball game of how they lived their lives and then the subsequent interviews where they finally ID the vets gets me every time. So well done.
  13. Not the best Marvel movie, but not the worst either. It was pretty good and I think introduced some things (Illuminati, Mutants, etc.) and tied some things off (I think).
  14. This pretty well sums up my thoughts on Oliveira right now. I’ve never rolled or been in an organized fight, so I could be way off, but to my eye he is so well rounded and transitions so smoothly and effortlessly I don’t know that I’ve seen anyone do that like him. And I can’t imagine what his opponents are thinking in there. There are undoubtedly better “specialists” but they way he pulls it all together is cool to see. As someone pointed out, he eats too many shots for my liking and that will cost him eventually. Really fun to watch and easy dude to cheer for.
  15. We were talking about this last night - does anyone have a successive run as good as that one? Oliveira is scary right now. Islam is sure to get the interim shot against him but who has he beat? I think he still needs to go thru Dariush to get that chance. Rose had to have lost a ton of fans last night. That performance was awful. Her “stare down” at the end of round 2(?) after doing nothing was cringy. Her post fight comments praising her own defense were out of touch. She needs to find a new camp. How do you market Esparza? She can’t be a co-main on a PPV just because she holds a title. Chandler. Wow. Maybe the best KO ever? Ferguson didn’t move for a LONG time and didn’t respond when people were talking to him when he finally did. Glad to see Tony was game, but I don’t need to see him fight anymore. Chandler has a future on TV as well when he wraps up fighting (my guess is if he gets a big money fight with Conor, he’ll call it a day). Shogun vs OSP - who thought that should be a PPV fight? If Rose vs Esparza wasn’t so bad we’d be talking about that one as the worst. First fight was fine. I love how everyone calls out Conor because that’s the only way they can get paid. Dana needs to do these guys better. When you have guys turning down title shots, you have a problem. What are the PPV buys going to be with Glover headlining in a few? They better stack that undercard (ie they better have Nate Diaz ready to go).
  16. Finally saw on HBO Max. Never read books and didn’t watch 1984 version so I came in “clean.” Overall I liked it. Probably biggest complaint was the mom whispering most of her lines so I couldn’t understand her. I even had to rewind and switch to subtitles for parts. Looking forward to the second part.
  17. Hostiles. Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, Jonathan Majors, Rory Cochran, etc. give great performances. Really like this movie.
