    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Rypien for Denver threw a pick 6, then another pick 2 passes after that to set Jets up with decent field position to kick a field goal to go up 28-27, then Rypien took an intentional grounding penalty to push their go ahead field goal back to a 53 yarder...but Mcmanus drilled it anyways and...

    I know Ficken missed one that was nullified due to a penalty, but otherwise the kickers in this game have been nails.

    So, you tap a QB on the helmet, it's 15 yards. Darnold gets spun around like crazy and slammed to the turf, all good, nice sack bro.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think one of the concerns was the amount of gold built up on Classic servers making stuff like epic flying trivial/meaningless. Pretty sure people would be pissed if all that farming was just wiped out by fresh servers/characters, though.

    It's interesting listening to Esfand talk about potential TBC for Classic, noting they need to tune raids/stuff better than they did for Vanilla Classic...where basically doing it as 1.12 basically had everything released post nerfs while player classes were all post buffs/balancing making it...

    I'm guessing there were plenty walking around making out with people, still touching their faces, sharing drinks/food, etc. To say none are spreading it without symptoms seems like the biggest wishful thinking.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Is this 100%? Haven't there been studies that show asymptomatic people are carrying just as much of the virus as those who have actual symptoms? They might obviously spread it a lot less since they aren't out there sneezing/coughing around people, but they're probably also not limiting their...

    This is actually the smart decision on their part. Hopefully they give them another month or two to really get shit working better. Could save the expansion.

    Didn't swine flu only have something like ~12,000 deaths the first year? Also isn't one of the major differences the asymptomatic cases and longer incubation period for covid? I know SARS actually was much deadlier than the rest, but there were only something like 8,000 total cases globally...

    I was going to ask why 5pm, but it's not opening week Monday night where you have the guaranteed west coast late game which doesn't start until 10-1030. Start at 5, should end just before the normally scheduled game where the Falcons might not actually blow a lead this week (because they won't...

    Tuesday game would be stupid, although I think the concern here is if they aren't opening up in person facilities for the Titans until Saturday, they wouldn't have enough "practice time" for fairness or whatever the fuck if they had the game on Sunday or Monday. But forcing the move all the way...

    I hadn't even thought of that. He's getting paid...that could happen. It would be so fucking weird to see him in a non Rangers jersey, though. Also I'm worried he's kinda just done.

    At least with the NY teams you sort of knew what was coming. Maybe not Saquon tearing his knee up, but you knew they weren't going to be good this year. The Falcons just keep getting hopes up and having them crash spectacularly.

    No, his back up who they got for just a 4th round pick came in and threw 3 TD's against them, though. We joke about all the bad teams, but are there any fans that have it worse than Atlanta right now, really?

    Suck a dick, I didn't say they'd be 30th in the league otherwise, just pointing out they racked up a bunch of stats in situations where they were forced to throw a shit ton for the majority of the last couple games. It's no surprise Dak leads the league in attempts currently.

    Some of the offensive stats for the Cowboys are because of who they have played, too. Every QB/WR wants to play against Seattle and Atlanta right now.

    I didn't pick him. I had a lead but all my guys were done and my opponent had Lamar, Ravens D, and Dobbins going last night. Butker missing a couple kicks saved him 3 points with Ravens D, and no idea why they were doing the short kickoff bullshit early on in the game, but one resulted in...

    I'll say this, some of the set pieces and action scenes for Matrix: Reloaded were fucking amazing. But the whole needing the story to go somewhere and as someone else noted the architect shit was all terrible. Honestly the whole war with Zion shit shouldn't have been resolved in that trilogy...

    They definitely low key tried to throw a little big with the missed kick and fumble around the ~20 either side of halftime. Not to mention the blown 4th and 1 at midfield. Ravens only had 1 offensive TD all night and it was off the turnover on downs after that 4th and 1.

    The way he keeps his balance shedding initial tackles is just stupid. I guess all those crazy workouts he comes up with pay off because holy fuck. Also pisses me off to no end I had him in fantasy last year and got 2 TD's in the 13 week regular season of fantasy, while he has 10 TD's in his...

    Looking at it again, they could have called him for holding the stick as much as tripping. It resembles a slew foot somewhat in that he's pulling back on the top half while holding the stick and pushing one of his legs out from under him at the same time. Although not an actual "slew foot" b/c...

    NBC broadcast guys aren't hardly right all the time. The one leg looking like it was being "kicked out" far before anything else is probably what sold the call. I'm just saying it falls well within the inconsistencies of NHL officiating that it's whatevs.

    Didn't see rest of the game for context...in a vacuum I've definitely seen that let go in OT in the playoffs, but I've also seen much weaker stuff called, too. In cases like these we always defer to the old adage "don't let it come down to the refs".

    I thought the general consensus was the SL beta was light years better than the BFA beta as far as feedback, etc went. Whether that translates into "polish", I have no idea. Seems like it could use another month or two, but they want to time out the releases of SL and Naxx in Classic.

    I agree with the idea that when Voyager was good, it hit pretty high highs, but it also had a ton of filler. That said, TNG had plenty of filler episodes, too. Side character episodes are always dicey. Doctor and 7 of 9 ones usually good, not much else really hit the mark for me. Neelix...

    I thought I had read at one point that 9 originally wasn't going to be one of the main "numbered" FF's, but more a spin off game with the nostalgia tie ins, kind of like a better Mystic Quest. The fact that PS2 had already been released only made it worse, and 10 was out within a year of 9's...

    Imagine if they had drafted a big run stopper so they couldn't get beat in the NFC Championship game again by a team only throwing the ball 8 times, along with one of the crazy good WR class who could develop over the season into potentially another reliable pass catcher to play opposite Adams?
