I think you’re thinking of infamous (or his bathroom is, anyway) tackle Walker Little.

They aren’t hard to skip past, at least on a mobile. My complaint is they still sound like 3-5 guys in mom’s basement and they need an emcee with a broadcast background to lubricate the machine. Blake Munroe sounds like someone doing a bad Justin Wells impression and should be a panelist and not the host.

I expect Disney is paying more attention to the $266m-$300m domestic compared to Way of Water’s $650m. Bear in mind the exhibitor share of ticket profit grows the longer a film plays (to incentivize them to keep it in theaters) and foreign sales aren’t as profitable as domestic. I don’t know how much they spent on P&A but rule of thumb it’s an additional 30%-50% of the production budget (and this is a world wide release) so it’s not insignificant. Anyway, I’m sure it’ll make a profit but I can see how Disney would be risk averse at spending another $500m.

I have a suspicion that they aren’t getting made, partly a combination of Cameron’s age and interest in moving on and Disney looking at the books and seeing part 3 didn’t really make THAT much once all the bills are paid.

I only see three updates on Spotify, fwiw, and they are pretty clearly described so you have a summary before you turn in.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
I was referring more to his throwing it out there without making a case for it. I would have thought he or Gerry would at least try to give some lip service that it would be a good move for the team.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
I think he’s gotten it, it’s probably late first/early 2nd and he’s deliberating on whether another year improves his draft position versus getting started on his pro career (and the march to that second contract). Almost any other case is more clearly binary on whether to stay or go. Jeez, I would hope Sarkisian is thinking about where all the pieces go. The players have their own goals and aspirations, money is finite and it’s pretty clear that an average tackle doesn’t automatically become an above average guard. To @tokamak’s point, it’s prudent to have a back-up plan for a Goosby departure and I would think a commitment from him is evidence that Goosby is gone or Baker is.

Also, reading the tea leaves, Gerry doesn’t believe anyone can play tackle unless they have the wingspan of a mountain gorilla and Bobby is happy to report whatever Flood leaks to him. Seems like the whole idea is wishful thinking and I agree with you-Baker is looking to move to the left once Goosby departs, probably is willing to accept RT, but anything else is tantamount to pushing him into the portal. I mean, he used those words on the podcast yesterday.

I like how Bobby and Gerry floated this Baker to guard idea totally unsupported by any pretext besides the fact he’s already here and has been the recipient of big NIL commitments already.

Online way too much, imo. Look at the way Quan handles it-he talks to him like you would normally off-line.

The Lost Generation essay
I’m not sure there is more action to be taken here than just acknowledgement (that there are losers in our efforts to promote diversity). I think the appeal of his argument to people like me is that too many progressives tend to have a real blind spot, almost an arrogance, about the utilitarian merits of their policy preferences and then are wildly confused when the electorate picks candidates opposed to them. “What’s wrong with you idiots? Quit voting against your self-interest!!!” What @Bozo_Casanova has repeated more than once is that those policies may indeed be good overall, but it doesn’t FEEL like that if the you’re on the losing end and those people are going to vote against you AND tell their friends.

Yeah, but props to him and guys like Hutson and Travis Shaw for playing in the bowl game instead of bailing to work on their 40 time or whatever.

I would think Imani just signed for Verlander’s money…- 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
Love it, this was the #1 free agent signing I was hoping for. We need to add talent that doesn’t involve taking a hit elsewhere, either on the roster or in prospects.- Local charities you endorse
We've been fortunate in 2025, but also a little miserly with our giving. Anyone want to recommend a charity that they're excited about this year? Historically, most of our money goes to UT scholarship fund (not thrilled with more this year), MD Anderson/misc cancer groups, Capital Area Food Bank, Human Rights Campaign (also annoyed with them for a huge volume of text solicitations), and the Trail Foundation/Conservancy.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
Not just them. There's some expensive 2nd and 3rd string players that are more on the development conveyor belt but had to be paid like starters as recruits. Theoretically, agent representation should instill some discipline and professionalism to a negotiation, but not when the agent's experience is wholly comprised by watching all eight seasons of Entourage.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
This is the kind of guy who saw EJ Holland’s sneaker collection and figured that was the good life.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
I think it's pretty clear that agency is comprised of a bunch of kids. Their most credible and experienced, for example.. seems about as buttoned up as this guy.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
Welcome to adulthood, Tre Wisner. Your two posts describe the dominant sentiment felt by grown-ups in the labor market.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
I knew Ricky Williams a little bit in college and he's obviously thoughtful, reasonably intelligent, and more importantly, curious (you get this in interviews and when he does tv). That said, we're talking about someone who hired Master P to his agent and signed an atrocious first contract when most of his peers were signing "set for life" money in their rookie deals. 21 year old football players making dumb decisions (particularly with money) is pretty par for the course.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Helobious Is Getting Those Wrists Ready For Heavy Work
You need to take another look at Atkinson’s high school measurements because he’s not bigger than Smith and that’s presuming he’s being measured accurately. - 2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
