  1. Yeah that's someone who has never watched a Big 12 game
  2. They describe the incident(s) in enough detail to warrant fast-fwd for me and my wife. Then they keep calling back to it with short clips and freeze frames, I could have done without that...just briefly describe it once in the beginning and viewers will certainly remember. I also think they totally whiffed on the message they try to hit us with at the ending:
  3. I long ago stopped questioning anyone's fandom. It's sports, do whatever helps you enjoy it. It does irk me that the spacing of Cowboys best runs (70s and then 90s) means I will live my whole life surrounded by tons of people who just swear that multiple Dallas Super Bowls in a short time is the natural order of the universe. Basically anyone 35+ is conditioned to think the star on the helmet means another trophy is just around the corner because that happened when they were little.
  4. Well, I admit this played out nothing like I expected...damn, Cowboys Dak maybe shouldn't have even played? Looked like my arm as a senior softball outfielder. But you have no backup so... Zeke of all people plays the whole game like IDGAF, let's go ahead and book my Cosmo suite for EDM Amari hurt I guess? Seemed to come out at important times the last few weeks I expect the Eagles to handle the Giants who will know they need draft position more than a meaningless win. Wish it was Eli and not Jones though. If we somehow get past increasingly beat-up SF/SEA, Desean Jackson is likely back for the divisional round. Mainly just glad I get to keep watching with interest at least one more week...
  5. From an Eagles perspective, I don't see how we slow down Dak/Zeke/Amari. They fucking LOVE playing the Eagles and even moreso in Philly. We remain old, slow and broke down. I need this to be the NFL game this year where the better team completely shits the bed with the playoffs sitting right in front of them. That's how we got in last year, when Minnesota somehow lost at home to the Bears who were already locked into their spot.

    That was fan service in the best way. Mr Robinson was damn near perfect. Black Jeopardy went a little different direction but they nailed it. Eddie seemed comfortable even when he flubbed a line. I also always enjoy the Jost/Che surprise reading of each other's jokes. Black cue hard holder LMFAO
  7. Looked like KU's final play was for Azebuike but he waited to long to check in so they denied him. Still got in when ball went out but 4.3 seconds they had to see if Dotson could hero-ball it. Nova could be top tier again next season if they keep the roster together. No one expected to leave from the current group.
  8. I went to the Philly one, probably had 500-700 people. It was in the 30s and rainy all day so that didn't help. But the white, older makeup of the crowd would indicate this was mainly publicized via Twitter. It didn't have the buildup of some other Trump era marches. But it was better than nothing.

    ^Pretty much my take too. I'll watch the finale, but can't help but think if I had stopped watching with like 20 minutes left in "Exit", I'd probably have a better impression of the series as a whole.
  10. Dallas should win easily next week, and I'm not sandbagging or setting myself up to feel better when it happens. Doesn't matter how Garrett coaches, nor that it's a road game. The speed difference on both sides of the ball is always noticeable in this matchup. Dak, Zeke and Amari LOVE playing the Eagles. Even Marinelli somehow finds a way to force a couple turnovers. It shouldn't be much closer than the October meeting.
  11. Fox got the latest Patriots cheating footage, more blatant than I thought. The audio indicates the guy knew he was busted and would do whatever necessary to make it go away on the spot...
  12. I first thought Heat and Sicario, but Black Hawk Down is up there for sure. Here's one just because it's been on cable recently:
  13. Their basketball rape coverups from a few years ago were definitely Baylor-level. Yet Altman still runs the show there.

    Yeah, I just try to ignore stuff like that and the fact Dom has an Alexa in her home, and she and Darlene stand there having a screaming argument right in front of it
  15. "The proposal also calls for removing carbon regulations in an effort to push businesses to innovate in a clean energy future." Now THAT's a republican proposal
  16. ^ He contractually gets to spend the month of July golfing in Scotland
  17. The national media seized on Urban being #46. Wonder if he had gone back to ESPN instead of Fox if they publish it that way. With a cryptic comment about "off the field issues."
  18. Ain't been roun' Termnal E since nigh-on and two
  19. ESPN Championship Drive, here on actual selection Sunday...Mark Sanchez seriously said - in his first comments on the show - that the real drama is who gets the 2 or 3 seed for home field advantage.
  20. I'm OK with UGA...for the moment. The refs kinda/sorta cost them a national championship a couple years ago but we don't hear about it ad nauseam. They took Notre Dame out of the picture for all of us this season. And tonight they went out in such a manner that no one will be arguing for a second SEC team.
  21. DFW has gotten way better even though it's mostly chains. Shake Shack, Wing Stop, the two Pappas, Salt Lick. Haven't been to Terminal B in a while but they had good sit-down options on both ends. PHL has also stepped it up, though I rarely eat there. Bud & Marilyn's is a great local place and they just opened a huge space at the front of Terminal C. There's also a Jim's Steaks in B, Geno's in B/C food court and Tony Luke's in F. So cheesesteaks are covered. Everything always seems packed in LAX, PHX and the two Chicago airports. Kansas City just says fuck it, let people starve.

    Finally caught up after literally years of trailing behind. Agree with Buzzrock's (and others) three points completely - Vela was distractingly cartoonish. Why'd he have this Hannibal-Clarise thing for getting inside Elliot's head? And the resolution is ultimately meaningless as he dies, the shrink leaves and Elliot goes back to his quest. Janice was awesome from her first scene to her last. Similar to the Vela point, the molestation angle was unnecessary and tacked on. Even during the cool scenes with the 8-year-old, it was hard to generate much empathy knowing he was going to go back after White Rose eventually. But all in all, it's been an interesting season and I'll miss the moodiness and music of the show.
  23. Brady pick 6 overturned by a legit holding call...but I really wonder when the ref reached for the flag, maybe when he saw the DB with nothing but end zone ahead of him
