If you view Fallout's "satire" flag as permission for Hollywood Leftists to build the most nonsensical version of capitalism trumping basic logic, it's not bad, though even this TV budget leads to a lot of tell don't show moments. As a canonical entry in the Fallout universe that is...

On one hand, in the 13 seasons since they won the Super Bowl, they've made it out of the divisional round once, and didn't even make the playoffs nearly half the time. On the other hand, mutually beneficial splits (a la Eagles / Reid) virtually never happen. Maybe the Ravens think they can...

Since their bye (Week 9), the Eagles have scored more than 21 points twice: against the awful #1 draft pick Raiders, and the deeply mediocre #7 draft pick Commanders. Since Week 9, the 49ers have scored less than 22 points only twice - they only scored 20 points against the Panthers, and when...

NFL doesn't actually have brackets, it is strictly seed based. If this weekend #3 Jax, #2 NE, and #5 Hou win (my picks), #1 Den gets the lowest seed remaining (#5 Hou) in the divisional round next weekend. I wrote that line for a reason, unless Stefanski went over Berry's head to get Deshaun...

Note that that number of wins vs quality opponents resulted in Carroll getting canned - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47513676/raiders-fire-pete-carroll-one-season-gm-john-spytek-remains That said, I'll reiterate that if there ever was a year for a high seed to sneak into the Super Bowl...

God himself apparently demands the 9-8+ Superbowl playoff loss.

Hey, one NFC North team is getting a playoff win this year! (Sadly, it's probably the Bears with how beaten up the Packers are.) Honestly, the Raiders winning as soon as it was 'safe' for them to do so looks more suspicious than them losing out. Eagles / 49ers and Jaguars / Bills the games to...

Winner gets the first seed - a week of rest, and home field advantage in the NFC West meatgrinder are pretty important.

The NFC South winner vs an NFC West wildcard is going to be the Sat Afternoon game for how lopsided its going to be. Edit: Reminder for those not watching the game that if the Falcons win, the Panthers still win the division (2 way tiebreaker rules are different than 3 way rules).

Well yes, all the existing capacity is already accounted for. (And then some, the core issue being that AI orders will account for another 40% of what was already effectively maxed capacity.) The (terrifying?) thing being that none of the big three manufacturers have decided that demand at 140%...

Tons of chatter that AMD and Nvidia are raising prices on their cards to counteract rising RAM costs. (Reminder that neither AMD nor Nvidia make their own chips nowadays.) Possibly as early as start of business Monday, but definitely during their product lineup press releases during CES next...

I think you meant That said, with Villenueve, Nolan, Lord & Miller, and even weird stuff like Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) ⭐ 6.3 | Animation, Action, Adventure, I have a hard time thinking this year will be a complete bust. Plus with Spider-Man and Avengers: There Goes All Our...

Ah, now that could work, as you said the audience hasn't been introduced to designed bioweapons (vs mutated creatures). Hell, let's go full cheese - Coop meets Barb soon afterward (who's just a mid-level Vault-Tec grunt) who says "Vault-Tec doesn't deal with monsters", the invalidation of that...

Well yeah, the set decorators / costumers are the MVPs of this show, from the basically 1:1 vaults from last season to everything this season (including the virtually 1:1 hotels we still haven't seen outside of previews). That said, while the Securitron / Power Armors looked great, they sure as...

The franchise financials seem pretty murky at this point. To be clear: A4 and A5 have not been fully greenlit yet. The kids did their performance capture for pre-time jump A4 years ago, and while Disney had scheduled A4 and A5 even pre-Covid, A4 has not actually gone into full production...
