    I think it's funny Romo didn't realize that by declining the penalty to stop the clock they left them in FG range.

    Ben's first 10 quarters of SB play (he put on some stats in essentially garbage time against the Packers when they lost) he threw 5 picks against 1 TD. Although that 1 TD was the game winner against Arizona.

    People forget what a difference it is for these defenses to get an extra week to study tape.

    0 for 6 on 3rd down throws. Not nearly good enough.

    Come up with some more shit to get Goff moving out of the pocket as well. Just feel like they've barely taken any real shots at big plays. Gotta take some risks.

    Not that I'm really into this halftime show either, but its amusing watching everyone rush to talk about how much it sucks or they don't like it like they're a vegan telling anyone they see how much meat they don't eat.

    It's just stupid b/c that rule is clearly intended to prevent targeting to head/neck areas. Defender literally was squared up with the receiver and they're contacting waist to waist all the way up to helmet to helmet while he's wrapping him for the tackle. Just terrible "letter of the law" but...

    To be fair, many of the 1st round QB picks in recent years have at least been decent to good/great. Goff/Wentz both look like good starters, wherever you feel like they land. Watson, Mahomes, Mayfield. Even Trubinsky to a degree has shown nice potential. While Mariota and Winston haven't...

    If Lock is there at 15...Redskins might take him. I'm not sure how I'd feel about it, b/c he has arm talent and measureables...his main issue was accuracy if I recall. I'm still on board the just play McCoy and Johnson (or someone else) and tank this year, trade down out of the 1st and try to...

    The major reason why it's not the case is still their O line for me. Not that Eli wasn't a reason, but I'm not sure a rookie QB does that well there until they upgrade their O line significantly.

    @Fyff I'm not entirely disagreeing with your point btw, b/c if you look at the 6 games Sproles played in, Foles was the QB in 4 of them. As all of us fantasy players know...when Wentz is Eagles QB, Ertz is a TE1 with Kelce (and I guess healthy Gronk and Kittle). When Foles starts, he drops in...

    They're certainly not directly comparable...but when we start bringing up LONG fights that can have one person fuck over the entire attempt, there's more than a few that apply. Just that many more people (40 or 25) that could fuck it up back then. Obviously the major reason people don't like...

    Sounds like Kael back in the day Thaddius in Naxx, 4H, etc. To this day I still don't believe anyone's "lag" excuse on Thaddius, I know every one of them just couldn't remember the difference between + or - sides.

    Maris played against better competition. Also you won't find a soul that says Maris is better than Ruth overall, that's ridiculous. His season was just incredible, and hasn't been replicated without chemical assistance.

    Yeah by that point in Wrath I had enough armor pen to swap to MM. My brother was a mage and we always battled for first bite off Blood Queen. Putricide was probably the best fight in ICC, though. That's a shame, b/c ToS obviously a big lore spot. Kind of surprised it didn't end up final raid...

    Yeah it was just a funny two to pull out of a hat. Leotheras would have been a decent comparison to Putricide, although not the same multi wing end wing boss setup. Also a great fight in its time. From Khane's postings I gather ToS was a very shitty raid tier.

    Just had to chuckle at this for a second. Massive difference between even lurker below and 10M heroic Putricide (let alone 25M H). Putricide sort of qualifies for a special tier of boss being end boss of his wing, but only final 2 bosses in ICC would be on that level you'd expect to be a ton...

    How many guilds have actually had World Firsts the past couple expansions? Serious question. I agree with you I can't imagine anyone putting in that time unless they feel like they had a legit shot at it, and you'd assume probably only 3-5 tops would know/believe they had any real chance.

    Ertz has to be in that group (with Kelce and Kittle) assuming Eagles do end up going with Wentz. Holy fuck does Wentz zero in on him all the time. I can't believe it but Ebron playing with Luck has to be a top 5 guy, too. Depending on injuries, OJ Howard down in Tampa and Njoku with Cleveland...

    I liked Moneyball a lot, the funny thing is it feels more of a Great Movie than a Great Baseball Movie to me, if that makes sense? It lacked some of the emotional nostalgia stuff that a lot of the other ones I'd rank ahead of it have. Maybe it's just because I don't really follow/have interest...

    Yeah 61 was the Maris/Mantle movie that Billy Crystal directed I think. I wanted that in over Sandlot but for a lot of my group Sandlot is heavy nostalgia. You should find time to check it out, great cast and great movie (Barry Pepper is Maris, Thomas Jane as Mantle).

    Moneyball we figured fit in the 5-10 range. Bad News Bears pretty dated at this point. I can sit through For Love of the Game and it's not terrible like Mr. 3000 level, but it shouldn't be mentioned ever on some Top 5 or even Top 15 list. There's plenty of other movies like 42, Eight Men Out...

    Crushed it. At our party at least, Field of Dreams and Bull Durham were both consensus top 5. League of Their Own only one person argued against. Major League about the same, last of the top 5 I think we settled on Sandlot. Few other movies were mentioned a lot, 61* (I wanted it in top 5)...

    This reminds me of a time at a party where we were discussing the Top 5 Baseball movies of all time and someone decided they needed their idea to be heard and said unjokingly "Mr. 3000". That person was of course banned from giving their opinion on anything forevermore.
