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

    Panthers Offensive Line is terrible and defense can't stay off the field? Fire the Defensive Coach. ...unless the actual sentiment is 'If your defense can't stop GB's offensive line, you deserve to be fired', which A) Ow, and B) Accurate.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Yeah, Dragon Age Veilguard 'came out' almost exactly two years ago. What the hell were they doing for that long, and why did EA's executive suite give them that much rope? The least ridiculous thing I can come up with is the buyout talk had started much earlier than publicly admitted, and EA...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, Jackson is 77 right now, and his 'action' was already very questionable when Captain Marvel was filmed a decade ago. (He's also been putting out more political takes in an era where Marvel doesn't want to scare off any money it doesn't have to.) I can already see the internet outrage of...

    I'm sure they'd say there was a 'Dark Ages after the reaper war'... that still had enough free resources to build intergalactic teleportation. Whether this was someone dictating 'Andromeda is canon, they need to be represented in the sequel' or the dreaded 'We have to make all ME3 endings...

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

    That does seem expensive for the Bears, but the Titans are eating $14M in 2026 and $21M in 2027 in cap as part of this. Then again, the Titans had the most 2026 cap space, and the 10th most 2027 cap space, so they can eat it without too much problem. It does present a PR problem in that the...

    Do people not think the halftime show won't just turn into the Beyonce show, again? Doesn't she have another album and concert tour getting announced shortly? Seems like prime promotional territory for the missus.

    MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

    The Brewers haven't made it to the World Series since 1982, so there's tremendous local demand. Even standing room tickets were going for over $2K in Milwaukee on Fri/Sat. Hell, it is still cheaper to buy a ticket for Tuesday's game and a same day round trip flight from Milwaukee to Tampa than...

    MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

    A) Do we even have any Tampa Bay people currently, much less TB baseball fans? B) I don't think any of the (ex-/)Wisconsinites are baseball junkies. I go to way more Brewers games than Packers games, but that's just because its 5 miles vs 3+ hours of gameday traffic to Lambeau for me. Hell, I'm...

    Nah, this Packers / Lions derp-off has miles to go. Edit: Or not, the Refs have their pick in.

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

    Rumors of the Packers' offensive line survival have been greatly exaggerated. And now they have the Panthers / Patriots / Vikings before a 'short' bye (they play the Wed before Thanksgiving) against the Rams. I really don't consider them a real wildcard contender, especially now.

    Ah, it's upset week. Come on Dolphins - make the Chargers the last winless team in the league!

    MLB 2026: Welcome To The Neo Empire

    Brewers left way too many guys on base. Got away with it this time, but they're playing with fire if this goes to 6/7.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Pretty much the only option they could have: Far enough in the future that someone built teleport gates between Andromeda and Milky Way to allow Andromedan races in the Milky Way. (Also, Andromeda already took place centuries (500+ years?) after ME3 due to travel time.) I'm not upset about...

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

    Even as a divisional rival I have to admit that Caleb is a whole lot better than their backups, and that the Bears are a legitimate playoff contender _if_ Caleb stays healthy. January Chicago weather helps too, so the Bears getting ahead of the VIkings in the division really does matter.
