Eh, I'd honestly prefer the Bears win, they aren't in the Wildcard discussion, the Vikings certainly could be once JJ gets more acclimated.

I can see the Vikings offense being slow with a defacto rookie QB, but what's their defense's problem? Edit: Am I the only one that hates the Vikings' matte helmets?

To be fair, the NFL has done a much better job over the last ~3 seasons of scheduling very competitive matchups the first two to three weeks, before they have to acknowledge the reality that different divisional rotations lead to wildly different Strength of Schedules. Hell, take this year: the...

Yeah, I think most people assumed the Dolphins would be bad with even average injury luck, but I don't know if anyone expected them to be this bad with their full roster.

I just got home myself, these commercial breaks are awkward. I suppose bridges are better than "We'll be right back" placards.

Eh, if Lamb had caught one of those bombs in the fourth quarter, this could have easily gone the other way. The NFC Wildcard hunt will likely be brutal, between the Cowboys / Redskins / Packers / Possibly Minnesota / various NFC West teams with puffed up records from soft competition, but yeah...

Youtube has the NFL Sunday Ticket rights this year. Note that you have to have a YoutubeTV subscription on top of the Sunday Ticket fee. For tomorrow's game only, it will be on normal-ass Youtube, announced by Rich Eisen. In addition, four Youtubers (Tom Grossi, IShowSpeed, and two spanish...

I am struggling to see how you can legislate that out of the market, however. Sure, if Microsoft was writing the check for an endorsement deal person X signed, then their minority shareholders could file a lawsuit for misuse of funds. But Ballmer's money itself, though? What are you going to...

Like I said last week, Micah is what the Packers need, but it is expensive for the Packers, regardless if the media all want to view this as Exhibit A of Jerrah's Senility. (Personally, Jerrah seems like he sticks more and more to demanding players - and coaches - finish out their agreed to...

To be fair, the Alien franchise has always treated corporate / independent ships like fishing vessels - low capital cost (especially after depreciation) things their insurance assumes they'll lose X of every year, and staffed to match. In reality, any actual interstellar ship would be a...

The one game is on general Youtube, and is apparently part of the package that bought NFL Sunday Ticket rights for this year: The Exclusive Home of NFL Sunday Ticket - YouTube & YouTube TV Note that this version of Sunday Ticket does require you to already have a YoutubeTV sub, so its not...

https://www.thecastingdirectorscut.com/terminology-tuesday-first-position/ When actors sign up for multiple productions, one (usually the earliest signed) is assigned as First Position, and gets dibs on the actor if there are scheduling conflicts. As such, actors almost never sign up for...

Horniness aside, IIRC Goth was tied to all the iterations of the Blade movie, so if she's free of that contract, we can believe Blade is actually dead.

The Packers needed the help, but that's very expensive, in both cash and picks/Clark. It'd be one thing if the Packers were on the cusp of a championship, but I honestly don't expect them to make it out of the divisional round.

Repeating just to be abundantly clear to people: If you have any interest in your existing characters, patch up the game and transfer them to a 64-bit server by August 31st: https://www.lotro.com/guides/lotro-64-bit-transfer-faq-en As far as which server? Unfortunately, I have no advice on...

Except in the same video he says Rogue One is still bad, offering nothing but nostalgia, when (imo) the only positive of Rogue One is that it has a unique tone (for Star Wars, anyway), while completely missing that the reason why everything in Acolyte is familiar is because its more leftist...

I thought it was one of the iffiest RLM takes in a while, especially if this is the last Plinkett given the copyright strike issues. Like I literally can't tell if he's mocking people thinking the prequels are 'good' by making the preposterous claim that The Acolyte is mediocre in comparison...

Beyond the Super Bowl, the Chiefs went 10 - 0 (I believe) in one score games last year - they didn't blow many teams out, they did just enough to beat the competition. Your Bill Barnwells of the world would be the first to mention that one score game scenarios are the most likely to regress to...

1) This sure feels like another one of these. 2) But part of Blizzard's more aggressive release schedule has been them reusing more and more content in the point releases. Seeing that only two new zones are brand new seems par for the course. (Actually, how do the revamps work? Is literally...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46015804/sources-colts-name-daniel-jones-starting-qb-anthony-richardson I fully expect both of them to start games this year (hell, probably a third QB as well), but this has to be considered significant proof that the Colts are done with Richardson long term.

Most realistic observers don't think Arch will declare for at least another (probably two) seasons. The 'most' plausible scenario I've heard is that when the Saints get the #1 pick, Arch will think it's destiny he could play for the city where his grandfather played and where his dad / uncles...

While I believe virtually every character / companion can be killed if you include Hardcore mode, I'd still love to see some cameos by the voice actors. It's not like Felicia Day, Michael Hogan, or Zachary Levi have anything going on, have them do the narration / explanation of where things went...

Behind the scenes shots show three time periods (Cooper / House pre-war, ~New Vegas, and the already destroyed post-New Vegas we vaguely saw at the end of last season). I will be shocked if they reveal an actual ending, and assume they instead just go with 'And then everything blew up five...

Anyone that doesn't immediately pick 75% levitation has neither read the intro to Way of Kings nor thought about it for even a few seconds - massively reducing your friction has a ton of utility. Actual invisibility in the dark is extremely useful as well, though mostly for questionable aims.

I would hope they allow player power to scale to the same level as MoP - every max level character in levelling gear can solo any raid mob in Legion in seconds, and there's no Mage Tower, so there is literally zero content any player couldn't do with zero risk in the base game today.

They're merging the apps, I hadn't heard anything definitive about combining the subs into one (hopefully lower) price.

Wasn't Season 2 already the back half of Season 1 that was paused when they changed (really, put in) a showrunner and frankensteined the existing episodes? Obviously, Disney has way, way cut down on their spending for original content on Disney+ - I honestly don't know why people would pay a...

Keeping in the N-word during that Pulp Fiction clip? The boys really are pushing Youtube's new profanity guidelines.

Eh, how often is a pinky injury season-ending. Jones will almost certainly start the season now, however.

I haven't bothered with a 5 series either - yet - though deep price cuts might make me settle for a 5070 or 5070Ti non-super until we get next-gen. The elephant in the room is I just don't think we're going to major improvements without a process shrink, and even if Nvidia did want to outbid...

The media story was Bezos said 'We have all the money on earth, where's my Game of Thrones', i.e. a high budget, high prestige genre show, and that he liked the concept of doing a Lord of the Rings show. Obviously, there are a laundry list of reasons for why it is a disaster, from not paying...

There's behind-the-scenes timings as well, there may be 'Movie must be on VOD for minimum X days prior to streaming' clauses, and WB wants this as their big Christmas HBO release. But realistically, if people haven't bothered to get to the theater for this by now, I'm not sure there's any...

To be fair, if it didn't overtake Cap Falcon domestically today, it will tomorrow, and will overtake Ant-Man 3 before the weekend is out. It seems inconceivable FF will hit the $340M Thor 4 hit, much less the $360M of GotG 3, however. Internationally, this is no GotG 3 either - FF had 1/5th...

As Lanx said, Amazon as a whole has publicly stated they're trying to be environmentally conscious / cut shipping costs by trying to reduce the amount (and cost) of packaging materials orders go out in, or remove them altogether as SIOCs. This does seem like a major initiative of theirs - I was...

Honestly, GotG 3 is the best yardstick for both of them. Superman is clearly above GotG 3, and may even hit the $370M mark to overtake The Batman as DC's best domestic post-covid performer. FF... is up or down vs GotG 3 on a daily basis, but is still above where GotG 3 was seven days in...

Only an idiot would bet against the Chiefs, given their string of SB appearances. So call me an idiot, because I want (some) new blood, gimme Bills / Ravens and Rams / Eagles for the conference championships.

If I recall, that's not really the case - instead when Cameron got funding from (then) Fox, it was for a planned set* of four sequels: Avatar 2, 3, and the beginning of 4 all take place in a row, with a time jump before the back chunk of 4 and 5, at which point the kids will all be adults...

To be clear, Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer's wife has existed since the 60s. Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer herself happened in 2000, and significantly predates the Jonathan Hickman run the movie gets a lot of its inspiration from (like Sue as Super Politician) starting in 2009. (Comic) Shalla Bal...

Pretty sure there's been press stories that Cap Marvel, Spidey, Cap Falcon, New Widow, and Reed are leading the team in the years and years Endgame. It all seems like empty 'Please be excited for the newest release!' PR nonsense. (Ironically, it sounds like FF's PR has been filled with lies on...

To be clear, other than hoping that movies made by creatives I like do well enough that they get money for another project, I am not rooting for or against the box office returns of any movie. But at the same time, it's inarguable that the (especially aggregate) data does factor into which...
