    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    It sounds like six weeks is the bare minimum he'd be out, but by that point the Eagles' season will likely be a wash and they'll keep him shelved regardless. Remember, the Eagles are keeping Lane Johnson on the active roster for the rest of the year because they can't take the dead money hit if...

    Seahawks need a run game, Darnold cannot do this on his own.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Not the first replacement that springs to mind, but https://deadline.com/2026/10/steven-soderbergh-the-batman-part-ii-1237158482/ They just have too much money in this thing, and Skydance has too many movies to put out per year, for this not to get finished.

    MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

    I wasn't kidding - I expected the Dodgers to win, or if the Brewers won, would take seven. But if the Brewers can not only move on, but with their pitching core mostly rested? Holy crap.

    Looking around on the internet, apparently Mistborn Era 3 is early computer tech, and the space fighters and such seen in Isles of the Emberdark and The Sunlit Man are Mistborn Era 4? These series (and the overall meta-narrative) are never going to end.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    The RAM market has always fluctuated wildly based on their overall capacity vs total demand, as a handful of big players with a few fabs each means even +/- 1 fab is a huge swing in overall capacity. The last year has probably skewed the big three against rushing to produce more fabs (keeping...

    Digger (2026)

    Eh, people have been going on about the 'Death of The Movie Star' for decades, frequently in terms of the market having less and less blockbusters, but the older I get the less I believe it and the more it seems like raw demographics. The Baby Boomers had a ton of big name stars -...

    The Fires of December: It's fine. Taking place in a world where people bind 'demons' (Negative Investiture beings) into doing their bidding, you can already guess what the ending is. Another story taking place in the gap years between Mistborn Era 2 and 3 and Stormlight 1 and 2, it is...

    If Atlanta doesn't get a stop immediately, they're not going to have time to even counter-score for the tie.

    The Texans gave up a second (and a 6th into a 7th) for Marvin Harrison? When even if he turns around he's only under contract for a season and a half? Woof.

    Eh, the NFC is back to being the NFC West-Off, with the Bears hosting an outdoors mid-January game being the only real spoiler: No one in the East is a real contender. No one in the South isn't an embarrassment. The Vikings will get a playoff spot but don't have the offense to survive against...

    Let me repeat about having a second on the clock.

    Modern kicking is really skewing the importance of having _a_ second left.

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Pre-internet, there were absolutely scenarios where you'd only be able to see your old team once on MNF, and read two articles about them in the print version of Sports Illustrated, per year depending on where you lived. But even now, while you can watch your old team, like Hoss said, you might...
