  1. Wild Robot was one of the best animated films I have seen in a while. It's well worth a watch regardless of your age. So much fun, my kids and I loved it. Inside Out 2 was a touching story and so well done. The way they write the emotions into the plot as characters, and show how they affect the girl is a great illustration of how to deal with emotions. It's a good story with a lot of positive and relatable aspects to it. I would be happy to see either win best Animated picture, but I think Flow will get it. Flow has an interesting style of animation that stands out from the rest. It's a bit cartoonish, almost like a video game, but still beautiful in its own way. I enjoyed watching it, and I think the dialogue-less story will appeal to Oscar voters over the others.
  2. Pete Crow Armstrong would be a good swap. We need an OF, they need a closer, so it's a clear win-win scenario. Could throw in Jon Singleton to sweeten the deal.
  3. Totally the same!
  4. Can he flex to one of the Guard spots for a year? That's the biggest hole in the line right now. Might be a guy they put there, but train him to be an OT after next year. I believe Howards contract can be dropped with little dead money after 2025.
  5. Sexton has been OK, but hasn't really lived up to that contract. Agbaji is still TBD (was a 1st round pick) Lauri has been good for them, but ultimately came down to earth this season and lost a lot of trade value. He got that huge extension, which may become a negative in the future. He's a good player, a fringe all-star, but I think he's just a good player on a bad team and won't have nearly the same impact on a team with more options. The 3 firsts don't look to be the potential lottery tickets they did when Mitchell has the chance to leave. He signed an extension, and the other 3 guys are under contract for years. Barring a couple of major injuries, none of those picks will be in the lottery, and the swaps will be very late firsts, which won't convey. Seems like the Cavs gamble paid off with about 4/5 years of peak Mitchell at least. I don't know if that's great value for Utah overall. I think the Knicks were offering about the same in picks, but not players. Maybe their FRPs would have been more valuable, but it's hard to say given they are 3rd in the East. The Knicks would probably be a whole lot better with Mitchell instead of Bridges though. Not sure if they make the KAT trade too in that scenario.
  6. But Danny Ainge is so smart!!! How could this happen??
  7. Are those 3 firsts really better trade bait than a Suns 2031? They are all just about guaranteed to be in the last 5 picks of the 1st round. I guess if it gets rid of Bradley Beals contract it's worth it, but I don't know why Miami would want them.
  8. Congrats to the Irish on finally making the Buckeyes kick the ball for once.
  9. Nice run. Time to put this out of reach.
  10. He didn't bother to try to send his boys there either. USC and now Arizona for the other one. I guess that's close to home in LA, but still not a great sign of love to the school he wants to rep.
  11. I saw a proposal of a 2031 1st, Strus and Niang, and maybe some 2nds for Cam. That seems alright I guess, I'm just not sure the Nets would go for all that salary in return.
  12. Not if it burns you...
  13. I'm still hoping, it sucks seeing everyone but Altuve leave.
  14. Obligatory deleted scene that is hilarious:
  15. Is the cut throat celebration not a penalty any more?
  16. Honestly I don't know why I continue watching this shit. That's such a blatantly bullshit call after running around like that. They are going to get at least 3 points off this drive because of that call.
  17. It's not like the KC guy tried to disengage and go for a tackle... Fucking hell refs.
  18. Nico saves the drive!
  19. It wouldn't have been so bad if the left tackle could slow down the DE just a little.
  20. That was a very tough kick to try and make. 55 yards with winds 12-25 mph is rough.
  21. Love seeing that block near the sidelines while CJ is on the run.
  22. The lack of calls against KC is alarming. Houston is going to have to blow out KC to win this, because the refs are spotting them about 7 points with all the help they are getting. Just infuriating to watch, as their guys don't get called for holds at all.
  23. Maybe he's worried that if he gets embarrassed against Jokic, they will reclaim his MVP trophy and give it to Jokic.
  24. 3-3 is a pretty good outcome given how everything has gone up to this point. Can't be upset. Still optimistic, hope they can get to 30 points and win the game.
