    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Just out of idle curiosity, has nothing to do with this game.... 1) What's the shortest SB? 2) Has a rookie ever won MVP?

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Uhh, what's with the Kaepernick clone for the 49ers merch ad? Way to make it awkward.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    You contain Davante Adams and Aaron Jones and the Packers have nothing left. Frankly, I couldn't believe we went through Free Agency and the draft without picking up any WRs, yet here we are again.

    Not sure the Chiefs will survive if they spot the 49ers two+ scores, but come on Andy!

    Cyberpunk 2077

    As mentioned, both Nvidia and AMD should have new families by then. The first three quarters of the year are looking pretty damn sparse, however.

    2020 Academy Awards - No Willem Dafoe The Lighthouse nom

    I've said it before, but the collapse of the Weinstein promotion machine has made Oscar season weird. There aren't even any major issue movies this year - no gays, no slavery, and the 'Holocaust' movie is the one everyone is complaining doesn't belong! I would think true Cinephiles would...

    Come on Green Bay! Win the crippleoff and the right to get curbstomped next week!

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Packers have been way too inconsistent in the last couple seasons to consider this anywhere near settled. But whether either team, especially the Packers, has a chance against the 49ers next week is the question. Frankly, I think the Seahawks have the better chance, but I can hardly root...

    Man that Chiefs / 49ers SB should be great.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    What a half. I forgot how great the playoffs are when there are no clear juggernauts.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Conversely, will any team ever pay Mariota to touch a football again? "All my team did was pull me out of the lineup, then we turned into the 2007 Giants!"

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    They've admitted they've had sets of movies that were so blandly bad that they've tossed the episode, since they didn't even have amusing complaints. Frankly, they may just be running out of material to work with. Neil Breen only puts out a movie every couple of years, so they're limited to...

    As mentioned, he shoulda dropped to the ground, then Patriots could never touch ball.

    Alright, the Texans deserved to win it on that play.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    At this rate the Great Lakes Avengers will be an animated show by 2024. That said, as much as I am predisposed to favor Kurt Russell's kid, him constantly trying to take over the title / shield because 'White people say Captain America can't be black!" would be the most tiresome plotline possible.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I don't know the answer myself, but I would think his contract runs through the end of the league year (March 18th, I believe), so he is technically under contract still until that point. Obviously, he would be 'relieved of his duties' prior to them signing the new guy if they decide on someone...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I can't think of a better summary for how middling the Packers actually are than this game, given the goose egg they are laying with so much on the line. Now even if they scrape by the Vikings, they're just going to get bounced by a well rested bye team.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It does support that the Chargers, Browns, and Cowboys aren't bad teams, they just had bad luck this year. Clearly all of them should fire their coaches and set fire to everything. On the other hand, it does support that the 49ers, Vikings, Bills, Chiefs, and Patriots aren't just luck. As much...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Err, yeah, that's why the Packers winning was so important. They'd likely lose in the wildcard weekend hosting the Seahawks / 49ers / maybe Vikings, but you can see a scenario where the bye week and cold weather in the divisional round lets them squeak by someone beaten up from the week...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I'm generally a Abrams apologist, and don't think anyone could simultaneously finish the trilogy, finish the nonology, and dig themselves out of Rian Johnson's mess. And that is all on Kathleen Kennedy and the brass above her for not plotting any of this out ahead of time. My spoilery question...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    I think people forget that comedies are a borderline dead genre. Also, featuring 70 year olds in your movie ads doesn't get the kids in. Action comedies, on the other hand, have given Marvel all the money on Earth. That said, these kids are way too young to star, unless this is intended as a...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Haskins can't even walk and the Packers are letting the Redskins stay in this game. Le sigh.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Honest question, have you ever seen a team know they're in the playoffs yet already give up on the season 2/3rds in? To know they legitimately have no shot against real teams? Yeah, they could have done the math and realized that as long as they stay ahead of the Eagles, nothing matters, but...

    Saints Row 5

    SR3 was the sweet spot for me. SR2 was still too GTA-adjacent (which I have no interest in), and SR4 gave terrible early impressions (world being 90% copy/paste from SR3, powers invalidating many of the mechanics, movement speeds that frankly broke the game on consoles, and unfocused satire -...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The Packers are one of the two worst NFC playoff teams (along with the Cowboys, with the Vikings way closer to those two than the Saints), but I was hoping the Packers would at least make it a respectable loss. Which is why that Chargers loss will likely come back to haunt us. Crappy January...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Virtually every observer I listen to thinks Hodges is the better QB, he just has a noodle for an arm. Also, is the sixth AFC playoff spot known to be cursed? Because no one wants it.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Define contender. In this year's terrible AFC, two teams out of the Bills Colts Steelers Raiders Chargers have to get wildcards, and I can see the Bills beating the Texans or maaaaybe the Chiefs on wildcard weekend in the early Saturday game. Beating the Patriots or Ravens doesn't seem realistic.

    Hopefully there's weirder stuff in part two, since this batch was really well known. Unfortunately, if they are filming this now, then we're probably not getting a defacto best of the year episode like 2017 (), which is a bummer.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, Safety Dance + the LK mechanics without death is pulling teeth with a pug. And this is with the higher geared primaries, as opposed to alts and casuals later. I dunno who thought this was a good plan.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    All sarcasm aside, the worry is that the Ravens showed too much yesterday, and left too much tape* for Darth Bill to pick apart in January. After all, the only thing that matters is ending the Patriots playoff run. *Not that a game has been recorded to tape or film for who knows how many years.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Wait, if the 2022 trilogy isn't them, and all signs are it's not Ryan Johnson, who the hell is running it? Because one off creatives per movie worked so well this time.

    The Outer Worlds

    Everyone keeps calling it Space Vegas but its way more Kotor 2, um, Two. KotoR: The Space Lords? Basically you have Kotor 2's morally gray world, mixed with some pretty significant divergences for the "light" / "evil" branches, easily missable side quests, shoebox sized 'worlds', and the...

    That Normal is too easy and Hard is waaaay too hard until you get enough perks / skill points is a common complaint.

    Certainly seems to line up with the common spoilers out there. Given that those made me shrug, that's not changing my current opinion to wait until proven otherwise.

    Why would you kick a Field Goal down that much with only 20 minutes left? At least the Bears went for it.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    As a Wisconsinite, I'm not impartial, but assuming the Packers and Vikings win, the Packers are the worst team relative to their record, and the Lions are the best team, yes?

    Honestly, I am happier this is shorter than F3 / F:NV / Skyrim have been. I'd like to at least look at Jedi Fallen Order & Red Dead PC as well before Cyberpunk steals all our time.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    There is no way the Ramsey trade makes sense for the Rams. Keep in mind, they still have to pay the guy next year. ...Unless they are secretly in Win Now mode. This team is going to be highly boom or bust for the next half decade in a division with two other teams that shouldn't be going anywhere.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The Lions were the better team tonight. This is going to be an interesting division down the stretch.
