    John Wick (2014)

    I'd say: 1) 22 Jump Street (What, I like action comedies. Blame the 80s.) 2) John Wick (Read this thread) 3) Edge of Tomorrow 4) Guardians of the Galaxy 5) Captain America 2 6) The Equalizer 7) The Lego Movie 8) X-Men Days of Future Past (Was my #2 most anticipated movie of the year...

    Justified

    Pretty much, unless cast availability is an issue there isn't a need for a mass culling until the end. After last season I am unenthusiastic until proven otherwise.

    Eh, it's not like the teams are getting extra money, they are essentially just taking money from future seasons. If you assume TV contracts will grow (and they certainly have), you could even view it as a smart move if you think you can win now.* Personally, I think it's moronic - if you...

    Why did you ever? His teams have never quit on him and usually have massive holes in their construction. Again, the best case scenario for my team is we miss the playoffs and hire him as DC. Is there an assistant coach you would toss your playoff chances to get?

    That was almost a quadruple sack on Newton there. That's the Panthers we expected before the season started.

    Is it bad karma I'm humming circus songs while I watch the Bear defense at "work"? Because this post will seem double silly once the Lions win the division.

    I was worried about this game - if the Bears lose their season is over, and would play hard. In reality, a major Rodgers injury is indeed the only wildcard left.

    I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but everything I've heard suggests that the more this movie differs from that script, the worse it gets. True/False?

    That jersey sales graphic is such a small and arbitrary window though (May through October), e.g. any earlier and AP takes Minnesota, and longer and Bridgewater takes Minnesota. Thing I can't understand is Jamaal Charles in Hawaii. Did he go off in a Pro Bowl or something?

    What do you mean NFC? You got the Broncos and Patriots, and then there's about an 8-way tie for 3rd place (in AFC, to be clear). I realize you're a Patriots fan (and thus clueless), but a league without clear winners is far more entertaining to watch.

    In regards to QBs, nobody reads the almost always great Bill Barnwell? The Quarterback Contract Question Basically, Bears are stuck with Cutler until 2017 season starts. As I said at the time, as someone in the Bears' division, I am ecstatic the Bears tied up a ton of their money with him.

    Maybe my crew was just surly from watching up to 14 hours of football in a row, but that was a demoralizing end to the night. At least the Saints were nice enough to let the Packers stay in it for half the game.

    Honest, question, is there anyone coming up in the college ranks? Because forget superstar, he's likely the clearly best QB in the league for a decade in about two years or so.

    Yeah, I was assuming Iron Man would die in this just so Marvel doesn't have to keep writing RDJ preposterously large checks, but they've signed him for Cap 3, apparently so they can adapt the god-awful Civil War. Blech.

    Fantasy Football - Auction League 2014

    It's the power of R-E-L-A-X!... or more accurately, a Packers heavy roster not facing the likes of the healthy Seahawks, Jets, and somehow #1 by DVOA Lions defenses. As soon as the Packers go up against teams with real defenses again, the Marsupials will be back in the basement.

    It can't be categorized as a metric, but of the losing teams (possibly from all seasons), Rex Ryan has to score lowest in "team-quitting-on-coach". They're always trying; they just can't seem to get there. (Having WRs or CBs this year might help, I'd guess.) Edit: Truth time here - I kind of...

    The all-division TNF schedule was put in because 1)Teams know teams in their division, and 2) Being regional, should involve less travel than average. They were attempting to make the games better. I still think the NFL fixes everything with the double bye week plan. Get rid of a preseason...
