    Feels like we missed out to completely make fun of the pick with Greg Paulus not getting the nod.  Dude was completely overrated the whole time at Duke as a player, would have been fun to continue that trend as a coach.

    Good question.  For this, let's say no.  You have to win a title within a four year period. You can pick any player in the NBA or college for that matter. Only guarantee is the player will be able to play every game over the last 4 years.  No fluke injuries.

    Disagree about saying they absolutely play all games over 4 years.  Player health reliability has always been, and will continue to be a huge issue.  A big part of LeBron potentially being the top pick is because he can stay on the court vs guys like Kyrie, KD, or AD.  Those guys manage to keep getting dinged up, and that should absolutely factor into this type of decision.

    Mortal Kombat has a roster of like 100 characters, so it was kinda lame that the main guy was created for the movie and they gave him a pretty generic power. Also kind of a missed opportunity to have Jax fight Reiko on The Pit, but not have actually have the iconic pit fatality. 

    The Scorpion v Sub-Zero stuff was awesome. 

    Pretty much this.  

    The 1995 Mortal Kombat worked/works because it didn't take itself seriously at all.  This movie felt like they were trying too hard to flesh out he characters while playing up the ridiculous violence and ninja stuff.

    That worked with Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and failed everywhere else, especially with the random Cole Young character...who of course they focused a bunch of the movie on.

    At least the Sub-Zero actor is signed for four films if this reboot works.  More Sub-Zero fighting Scorpion, kill off Cole Young post haste.

    I can’t imagine waiting for permission to see my family after the season is over. 

    Half of Surly would love to be in that position, especially around the holidays.  We'd be begging the county to give an excuse not to see family.

    The Arizona vs Stanford Womens championship game was pretty good. 

    It came down to the last six seconds with Arizona getting the ball and a chance to take the lead.

     

     

    And the best play they could come up with was the patented give it to your preferred player who dribbles around the perimeter, then hoists up a desperation, contested 3-pointer as time expires, utilized by shitty NBA coaches on a daily basis.

    Bruins have played the Zags in the tourney before.  Oh, how delicious Morrison's tears were.

    Crazy ending.  Howland is lucky he didn't get tee'd up running all over the court in the last minute the way he did.

     

    All I remember from that year is that JJ Redick and Adam Morrison were the top contenders for the Naismith.  Not a great year for bball.

    did they even call Houston? I like Stafford, and think he is a QB that could have been on the list of top QBs with the right team, but he hasn't been healthy and I don't think you can describe him as young anymore. deal makes sense 3-4 years ago. It has a very short window to pay off for the Rams.

    Aaron Donald, Robert Woods, and Jalen Ramsey are the only Rams players left on the books by the time Stafford's current contract is up.  No problem with this trade given those circumstances.

    You mean like Harold Baines?

    I don't give the veterans committee any more credibility than the writers.  Schilling is just claiming the veterans are the only ones capable of respecting his impact on the game because he knows the other voters are done with him.

  9. Schilling asked to have his name taken off the HOF list.  He's gonna wait for the veterans committee since they're the only ones actually capable of judging HOF talent.

    Fuck Schilling.  Hopefully the veteran committee tells him to fuck off as well.

    Well there is a lot of water around the main capitol building (the complex was meant to resemble an island volcano), but it's not surrounded by water. Surprisingly congresspeople don't canoe into their offices. 

    Although during an insurrection lots of people in Hawaiian shirts would be mistaken as Proud Boys, and vice versa, so I suppose all bets would be off. 

    Well, we also have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, and are overwhelmingly Democratic.

    1 Republican (out of 25) in the Senate, 4 Republicans (out of 51) in the House.

    How are they explaining Steve being alive in 1984?

    Meh, they've fucked up almost everything they tried to build and are just pretending shit like Justice League didn't happen, might as well just bring him back with no explanation.  It's not like people are going to see this because they expect a good plot.
