    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Hodj the shows Star Wars: Rebels and Clone Wars aren't EU, as far as I know they are included in official canon now.

    Kind of glad I haven't read the books yet since I love the casting choices so far. Agree with whoever said if Episode 2 hadn't sold you yet doubtful that even action in 3 & 4 would sell you.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    On the originals, ROTJ always has the feels factor and being the last film that tied up the trilogy that put it right up there with Empire for me, but once I got old enough it was easy to appreciate Empire as the better movie. Honestly as much as I love ROTJ, all the Ewok shit and tromping...

    Yeah I thought all of the new characters (including Poe with your 3) did great jobs. Kind of bodes well. Also not that this is a spoiler or anything, but man Carrie Fisher hasn't aged well. Seemed like she had a shit ton of makeup done to even look semi normal.

    8.5/10 for me. Definitely a lot of throwback but I agree it FELT like Star Wars. New characters were all much better than I was expecting. I understand people's problems with the pacing, but just felt like a minor issue to me personally.

    He does have some weapons down there. Teams like Jax, Oakland, and Minnesota all show how you help your young QB develop and they're not at all the laughing stocks they have been in recent years. Just shows how badly Cleveland has mishandled JFF, although he gets a fair share of the blame as well.

    Another bullshit call against Tom Wilson. Literally just goes for a shoulder to shoulder bump off the puck, guy gets whiplash from being short and having his head down like an idiot, match penalty. Almost let Ottawa back into a game that they were being completely shut down in.

    It's kind of nuts how fast and hard Girardi has fallen. I feel for the guy but nice to see the Rangers in a little bit of disarray. Pens too. Meanwhile the team that's really been on a tear is the Islanders. Just shooting up the Eastern Conference.

    Episodes 3 and 4 being on demand is great. Watched 3rd one right after replay of the 2nd late last night, going to watch the 4th now.

    Brilliant. People should never underestimate businesses' desire to not alter their business plans with unnecessary things like health care for employees

    Brady's age and career factor in too. Guy has already made a ton of money, will likely go on to make a lot more. At this point with 6 SB trips and 4 wins, it's all about legacy.

    Always feels good bagging up a ton of points early in the year. Holtby's going full Lundqvist mode of late though, and I mean that as both the compliment to him and a little bit of the "so you going to help him out a little more?" to the rest of the team.

    How dare you besmirch the name Doug Williams. Dude is in 2 ring of honors. Played the best quarter in SB history. But I agree there are many ways to win nowadays.

    Damnit Sutekh, it was a REALLY bad time to miss it though. Just annoyed Dolphins had a lead multiple times in this game and somehow just fucking forgot to cover OBJ over the top to lose.

    No idea how the game is even this close with how badly Eli and OBJ have raped Miami tonight. Tannehill missing throws hurts too.

    I expect the Vikings to beat the Bears and the Giants at home too though, so you'll both be 10-5 going into the final week. I still expect Seattle to get the #5 seed because of tiebreaker and/or Cardinals resting guys in Week 17, but if Vikings and Seahawks are both 10-5 going into Week 17 with...

    8 was so bad for me I completely skipped playing 9 for years. 13 still shit too though. As for playing 9, you can get a lot of gear earlier than normal by stealing with the main character (Zidane) on boss fights. It can be frustrating as hell sometimes to wait for him to finally steal all...

    Early rumor from "sources" is Dalton likely to miss rest of the season. Supposedly at best he won't be back until the playoffs. I thought he was seeing the specialist tomorrow though, so not sure how this is coming out already.

    Not sure if it's likely. I expect the Vikings to beat the Bears and the Giants (both games at home for them). They still control their destiny to win their division too if they win out (would be 1-1 against GB in that case, with edge in divisional record).

    No trap game, Arizona will be playing for their 1st round bye. They also technically can still get the #1 seed by virtue of better conference record than Carolina (any scenario where Arizona is able to catch Carolina would mean they'll have a better conference record). If they beat Philly as...

    If Green Bay wins that game, they'd have the tiebreaker, but they'd still be a game back of Arizona. Aside from that game, Green Bay has the Raiders and Minnesota, and Arizona has the Eagles and Seattle. About equal schedule wise, and Green Bay would have to go one better over those 2 weeks...

    I love how the Sunday night crew talking about the NFC East and who's going to win claim all 3 have tough schedules (Eagles have Arizona next week, Giants have Panthers and Vikings in back to back weeks) while the Skins play 3 teams that are below .500 the rest of the way. Zero mention of them...

    Honestly looking at those schedules, Denver was very fortunate they got the win against the Pats and that Dalton got hurt today. Imagine if they lost that game and Chiefs were only 1 back right now with 3 to play and Denver having to play Pittsburgh and Cincy the next two weeks while KC has...

    Remember when I said this shit a couple weeks ago? I honestly thought Denver would lose to Pats though, but even so.

    With Mack to build around on D too, I definitely think Raiders can start pushing for wild card contention next year with another good draft (they were pretty close a lot of this year already, and still not technically out of it).
