    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Wait, so Brady deflated the footballs because the Pats owned up to illegally taping defensive signals from the sideline instead of the stands like everyone else that season after the rule had changed from the prior year when everyone was taping signals from the sidelines? It's a good thing...

    You calling me dumb doesn't make the show better or well made. And meanwhile you literally just said something in a television show has to be true because the bad guys said it while threatening a protagonist.

    Showed that picture to my girlfriend and she happily said 'oh, they're visiting sick kids.' Then I asked: do you think these kids know who they are? And she, unhappily groan and said "oh" and then was mad that I made her feel bad/stupid. Visiting sick kids to promote your show. Only...

    Unreliable narrators suddenly become really reliable when it's convenient to defend something and tell others they're stupid. Duh, you fucking moron, the bad guys TOLD the protagonist something, so it MUST be true!!!

    I thought Lt Burris was just psychic and it was a cross promotion with the return of the show Heroes. See, bad writing leaves us having to ask stupid questions like this. They could have very easily just set the scene, showed they had the exits covered, then we'd not only not be confused and...

    I think my point was, when writing a show, you simply demonstrate your meaning in the things you're writing and showing on-screen instead of just randomly having shit happen for the fuck of it or because it's cool and hoping people with throw out a ton of 'maybe' defenses to explain things. It...

    The NFL isn't without its incompetence which is why this has blown too far out of proportion and they're playing a dick-swinging game at this point when actual football is starting. It got out of hand, as everything seems to under Goodell, but it was a great idea to bitch slap the golden boy to...

    So, Burris saw gaycop exiting through a window to subway tunnels and the chief may have just been knocked out so instead of engaging just followed a shootout and then up a ladder and through twisting halls so he could call Burris on the phone to tell him where gaycop was exiting since Burris was...

    If it was in the best interest of this to go away the NFL would have informed the Pats, and subsequently all teams, that there had been information regarding intentionally deflated balls, and to not do it. Or, they would have checked the balls pre-game and at halftime to make sure they were...

    Those contracts legally show nothing. They were illegally seized and wouldn't be admissible anyway. That haven't been filed or certified. That I don't think the parties involved should care about anyhow, because they'd be public record eventually, and that's why they're all trying to do these...

    Think that is where this is going. The rogue orphans are the only ones that have a reason to take down anyone and everyone. Only question is whether the boy is someone we know or not. If people thought the green-ears break in season 1 was a hell of a random chance to break the case, how are...

    As with most big corporate scandals I think neither side is particularly innocent and both are doing their best to make the other the scape goat. The actual truth behind all this is probably really fucking mundane. That's not nearly as fun to discuss, though. And the NFL mishandling something...

    I agree he's the best actor in a show that did no favors for the actors. I still don't think he's been grat, though, for reasons stated. Am still enjoying the show and his performance just fine, but being serviceable on a bad show doesn't mean he's suddenly great. He's not. He just really...

    Thinking Colin Farell isn't a great actor, especially with this shoddy script, doesn't exactly take much misery to believe.

    Farrell has had the most best parts, but he's had a lot of bad parts too, and I don't personally find him very interesting as an actor. He can't consistently deliver a line with any level of charm, humor, quirk, or nuance. His range goes from brooding seriousness tinged with anger, to brooding...

    Honestly, we should probably wait until the end of Vaughn's career before we judge his acting ability. It's stupid to judge until we see how it ends. I mean, one or two good roles to finish his career could really turn things around and be worth the wait! And I heard his last movie will be 3...

    I think they'd argue it wasn't a defense only wedge, but a flipping plow like several other bots had (by design or the one that their spinner broke so they legitimately had no offensive weapon for several rounds of wins and admitted as much).

    Definitely want less filler. Let the filler be consolation matches. That 3 bot rumble was cool. Bite Force was one of the few bots that rarely seemed out of control and stayed with their plan and very deliberate driving. Some luck, too, of course, but they were about as flashy as a control...
