Agree to disagree. I think they're at least a little worried that Giannis asks out after another year of Doc and Dame.
Agreed. Denver and San Antonio are the only teams that hang up if offered to swap their star for Luka. MIL and OKC at least listen and have a conversation.

Proof or heresay, NFL teams are not getting out of an NFL contract for cause over this type of thing. Deshaun Watson, accused of far worse, and is still under contract.
23 hours ago, Hermanator said:It makes no sense for this low of a contract. Especially for only 1 mediocre season, and especially when there's just heresay and no proof. This isn't enough to get out of the 7.7 mil dead cap hit anyway. The Ravens did not intentionally leak this for cap reasons. They need way more evidence to terminate the contract for cause.

I think I have a post in 2022, or maybe in 2023 after OU drove down the field to win the game, in which I said something along the lines of "It's time to accept that as long as PK is our defensive coordinator, we will never have an elite defense. Period."

Just watching Nickel Boys tonight.
In what world is this a BP nominee? Not only is the story boring, and completely 1-note, but the POV style was distracting, gimmicky, and didn't lend anything to the movie.
Criticizing Nickel Boys for being "1-note" is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen written in quite some time.

what are his statement wins? Punking 2 OU teams that were warmed over dogshit? His TAMU win in CS? His Big XII championship against a shitty OSU? His night win in Tuscaloosa? His win at the big house? ASU to stay alive after blowing it? Clemson?
That Bama win is one of the 10 biggest Texas wins this century when taken in context of the previous 13 years of shit.

I made this comment recently in another movie thread, but how do people even learn about new movies these days, including how/where/when they can watch/stream them? Pixar, Marvel, and Mission Impossible movies get heavily advertised, obviously, but how do non-Disney, non-action blockbusters even make an blip these days? Is it all word of mouth? Like others have said, I haven't heard of most of these. A decade ago, I had at least heard of most of the smaller, more obscure nominees.
For me, it's a combination of Letterboxd and the Big Picture podcast. The Big Pic is pretty normie/popcorn centric (aptly titled), but they do have special horror-centric episodes and other one offs, so it ends up providing a pretty good base of knowledge if you have an interest in keeping up with modern movies.

The little guy hasn't done anything on this site in almost two weeks. I just assume that the wife got tired of his angry incel behavior and beat him with a tire iron until he stopped breathing.
Ha, now that you mention it, I guess I have noticed less "ignored post" notifications littered throughout every recruiting and football board thread.

I'm very surprised he didn't get the call on the 2nd down that was the worst playcall in history though, I really was expecting that to be a Juan is unaccounted for easy curl into the ez play or even a Juan power run formation.
You were very surprised that a guy with 9 catches and 0 TDs didn’t get his number called in the biggest moment of the year?
I lose track of facetiousness, admittedly

The biggest issue we had this year with the line was we had 1 do everything. 2 drive blockers. And 2 finesse blockers. We should have had a goal line line that could drive block in short yardage.
I think you are really underselling Mukuba. He was nails all year long, and the few times Williams has actually been healthy he’s not been near that impactful IMO. Big offseason for him

Decent chance we are better next year than this year.
Lb should be better by virtue of getting older. Edge should be better for the same reason. DT a step back but not as much as everyone thinks. If Taaffe comes back and Williams is healthy we will have 4 guys at safety that will be really good. Guilbeuaux a year older and in his contract year. I think Manny will be fine to really good. Maybe he takes a step and is elite. I’d like to see a couple corners come in the portal but they might already be on campus.
If Terry had a Simmons like freshman season things get really interesting.
Also, I expect every team on our schedule to be more or less dogshit offensively next year except maybe Florida, so… the defense will be elite level fine in all likelihood. Like, top 5 defense again by the numbers in the game.
Really only spot we are glaringly lacking that absolutely needs to be filled in the portal in my opinion is WR1. We need a stud.Overall agree, but I think we’ll be noticeably worse at the beginning of the season. Replacing 4/5 offensive line starters, including a generational left tackle, is no joke. Losing Barron and Mukuba from the secondary is brutal; I expect that unit to take a big step back.
The great thing is that our schedule is very manageable yet again. On paper, trips to Columbus, Athens and Gainesville should be the only real challenges. Plenty of room to have growing pains yet still win. Go 1-2 in those games and you are in the playoffs, and it’s all about getting hot at the right time.

Yes, but is there even a direct subway to JFK, or do you have to change to a sketchy bus, like the good, ole days? Also, carrying luggage up and down subway platforms is fun and rewarding.
The AirTran connects every terminal directly to tons of LIRRs (not a subway, has luggage racks) directly into either west or east midtown Manhattan at all hours of the day, for $15.
The AirTran also connects every terminal to 3 subways lines go to Manhattan. Much slower option

NO
The only thing NYC transit has going for it is size. Trains are slow, loud, infrequent, and dirty. The stations are filthy leaking and trash strewn. PA announcements on the trains are a joke... even when there is a sudden arbitrary change in service. (like JK this train isn't going where we said it would) You only get the peanuts adult voice played through a blasted out 3" speaker.
Don't get me wrong, it's great for a US city. But compared to pretty much any modern country it's a dog, just getting by on nostalgia. Athens has a nicer system. 45mins from Eleftherios(Athens International) to central Athens 1 train straight in and it's probably 15 miles. La Guardia to Central Park Bus>Train>Subway Over an hour and 15 mins of that is walking and it's probably less than 9 miles. Newark or JFK....ppppffffft
It's a pale shadow of what it could be.
As a 2x daily subway rider, pretty much every word of this is hyperbolic nonsense except with respect to LaGuardia. The subway is by and large frequent, fast and clean on the trains. Many of the stations are old and grimey, it is what it is. So are many of the stations in Europe. There are also a decent number of homeless people during real cold spells (like right now), but we don't have the social safety net in America to fix that in a humane way.
You can take the LIRR via AirTran from any terminal at JFK directly to Penn, at which point you can take any number of NJTs directly to EWR. It's definitely not as good as the RER from CDG, but it's pretty great. But most people prefer to take a cab and have something to bitch about.

I pretty much only take them if I’m going to at a sporting event like the US Open tennis tournament where there are big crowds and a train that takes you right there.
This is hilarious. Won't someone think of the women and children! I need to text my wife to watch out on her way to work this morning!
In any event, as someone who lives and works in the congestion zone, this is fantastic for me.

I have often thought of our offense like a finely tuned Ferrari, runs like a dream when it’s well-maintained but frequently breaks down and is in the shop.
Speaking of Finebaum, the ESPN morning show was on one of the TV’s while I was at the gym this morning and Mike Greenberg asked Finebaum and Heather Dinich which coach had the most pressure on them this game. Dinich said it was “100% on Sark” because the SEC has been bad in the playoffs and Texas is carrying the banner of the conference. To his credit, Finebaum respectfully disagreed with that ridiculous assessment.
Day obviously has the most pressure, followed by Franklin, and then there is a huge gap. Sark might have more pressure than Freeman just given overall program expectations, but I think the masses at Texas are pretty damn happy with the last two seasons and the state of the program, win or lose.

Longlegs, late night with devil just miss out.
I thought I saw the tv glow, cuckoo, trap and blink twice all suckedI also was meh on cuckoo and thought trap and blink twice sucked. Loved TV Glow. Of your list, I liked em all except Heretic, which I found pretty boring even though I saw it in a packed theater around opening night.
