    BattleBots

    I like it on DVR. Some of the people are interesting, sometimes they're in the back tinkering with broken things. Overall I'm enjoying this blast-from-the-past more than when they tried to bring American Gladiators back, though Crush/Carano was fun to watch (until I swear they told her to stop...

    BattleBots

    Show was fun when I was a kid, but assumed it was just nostalgia. Still pretty cool. Too many commentators, too much talking (sometimes the back-stories or them working on bots is interesting, but mostly it's boring), too much ARE YOU READY?!!?!? But the fights are actually fun.

    This makes no sense. Nobody would take less money for the chance to win a championship or stay on the team that just won one.

    Hrm, getting Twin Peaks vibes? I guess you guys are just more astute, because I didn't get that at all. I mean, it's not there was anything like a 'Mulholland Dr.' sign to clue us in, so I dunno, Twin Peaks is a stretch imvho. I agree, though. I mean, General Hospital is absurd! Why isn't...

    Bah! Daryl is what saves TWD. He's so dreamy I got a picture of him at Ross. GF said we could hide it in the bedroom if I wanted. I said no, it's going in the living room! But, yeah, TWD gets a ton of shit because it randomly does dumb shit they don't have to bother doing. All in all, it...

    I've always liked Reggie Jackson and almost wished he hadn't gotten so much spotlight with Westbrook injuries so they could have locked him up long term before everyone realized how good he was, and/or Westbrook didn't break out so much with Durant injuries and prove he's even more talented than...

    Assistant kinda sounds like he's doing a retarded Owen Wilson impersonation, but he's got some character and makes me chuckle! Front runner for the killer? He's sick of being yelled and and is trying to undermine W to take over the biz. Chances of W's wife getting preggers and the kid coming...

    Lucky sumbitch! Used to go to the one in Colorado Springs when I was stationed there (appears it's closed down now). Amazing pizza, all you can eat, with a bunch of soldiers. We'd clean the place out. Probably why they had to close!

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    What if 'your' team is the Raiders, who suck, so you don't really 'like' them, because it's the fucking Raiders and they're completely unlikable, but you stay true to them, and then root for other teams depending on how little you hate them? Is that okay? Watching football got so complicated...

    Desktop Computers

    I think the objection to a standard HD was these days, with all the portable and external options, why put storage on a single drive, in your Desktop? I don't think anyone is saying store everything on an SSD (though it's nice and snappy!). I think it's that if it's already going to be on a...

    Ah, so I wonder what other impressive performances. I see potential in McAdams that is outside her comfort zone. We kinda knew Coolin could do this kind of thing, and imo it's still not as good as it could be coming from him. W has been up and down, and is best when he's almost being a cut-up...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Well, according to the law, you're wrong. Even on many Freeways. I'm not opposed to bicycling requiring a license for certain conditions, though it would just be a technicality of course, but could help raise funds for more bike lanes. I'm also okay with bicycling requiring insurance... like...

    Wait, huh? Not sure if you're saying: or: I don't necessarily agree with the first. Most good shows combine many themes, sources, nods, etc into a coherent vision. We just don't notice it or point it out because they've actually combined them, so it's not seperate things we can point to as...

    We all know. Was just pointing out the silly hyperbole of Big P. It's strange how different places are so different, too. Boise was kinda awesome as their motorists are actually considerate and there were no laws against bikes anywhere really except giving pedestrians the right of way. So...

    The easiest cop to kill is a dirty one. A dirty cop has every reason in the world to be killed, so you can try to pin it on just about anyone. You'd have to bring in outside forces, especially since there was already an external investigation going, but he's dirty, he's dead, you just set him...

    Rocky?! Slow down, sparky. He was clearly doing an impersonation of Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore! W was still in one of the best scenes, imo, under the underpass with the whole 'woah buddy whatdya do to piss off guys like that' Watching it back, that scene was actually pretty good, but we...

    West isn't really going to demand anything larger when the cap goes up. I know the relative worth of a player will raise, but David West will also be a year declined. Dude is 34 and has made 88 mil over his career. Does he want more money, or a chance at winning a championship?

    I thought people said Fukuniga was going to be directing this episode. Turns out he didn't. Turns out multiple 'entertainment news' outlets are reporting not only did he not direct it, but the director in the 'two tons of shit' movie scene was a not-so-subtle jab at Funkytowna and that there...

    Yeah, you have seen episodes of NCIS.... that was one when they were interviewing people on the set of that movie. All we needed was the dun-dun as they moved from person to person. That poor last girl actor didn't even know what to do at the end of their standing-awkwardly-and-talking, and...

    No shit, bicyclists riding in the lanes on 40-50mph streets downtown? That's insane! And riding IN the lanes on a Freeway?! I have to agree with you: retarded shit, who the fuck, no fucking sense at all! Like literally, the more I think about it, it just doesn't make sense at all.

    Really enjoying it, and it's better than I thought it was going to be. I am wary that the discussion has to be what is and isn't imaginary. Gonna be a tough line to toe without taking the easy way out or making it distracting or matter too much, because having to constantly wonder what is...

    Benches are never as good as the credit we'll give them when the stars and starters win games, nor as bad as we'll pretend when blaming them for loses instead of the stars and starters. I definitely think they matter, but they're more a product of coaching than anything in the game, which is...

    Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do if you're on the sidewalk or in a bike lane. If you're riding in the lane, as is legal in every state I've ever lived in, you follow vehicle traffic laws. Of course, you have to contend with people so confused and self-important they start honking and...

    Great points, really, but let's go back to what your friend Homsar said about me: Turns out that wasn't even something I said.

    I think the contract thing is the rub, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if owners started making it a point of contention. There was already rumblings about the Big Three and Miami with a lot of owners and execs not seeming very happy. Imagine if next time it's an entire team of 5 who are...

    Kobe and Paul both bitch a lot, sure, but I'd say Paul does it more often, which is a small miracle, and in a way that seems to annoy the refs more. Maybe it's the championships, I dunno, but refs seem to dislike Paul and take his complaining as whining and give Kobe more of a pass because he...

    Since when did his stats on the court have shit-all to do with the discontent that seems to follow him? It's not really fair to simply say everything I said about his personality and how he gets along with players and teams is conjecture because, uhh, he has great stats?
