    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    All sarcasm aside, who is the Pats' QB next year, especially when the pick could be anywhere from top 5ish to middle of the pack?

    Nice of the Pats to leave the Jets 0-16 hopes alive.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The scenario I would hate the most is 49ers stick with Garappolo on a one year deal that's reasonable for both sides... ... then Rodgers is traded for / gets released to make way for Love and comes back to California.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Uhh, Siddig and Robinson always played Garak and Bashir as if they were flirting. The twist would have to be that Dax has swapped to an S&M leather daddy (or whatever the term is) and they have a gay poly relationship. O'Brien, as the last straight white male on the show, would either never be...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Given how the rest of new trek has turned out, why do you want them desecrating that horse too? Picard already establishes the future sucks, so the question is just which talking point(s) the show actually consists of ( vs the material they were supposedly reviving). I am thinking it becomes...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Well, given that playoff ticket prices are higher than average and player playoff salaries are much lower than average, every (home) playoff game is going to result in significant additional net income. That said, the Packers situation is weird from an accounting perspective. I would suspect...

    They charged them, but they then refunded the money or are holding it for 2021 tickets. https://www.packers.com/tickets/season-ticket-holder-policies Refunds shouldn't be income, and even if those 2021 fees count as 2020 income, that's just shorting their 2021 income. AFAIK, the NFL is only...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Only the first place seed in each conference gets a bye, so that week off will be the only edge if the playoffs get bubbled to a neutral field. Not that I see that particularly working for orgs the size of NFL rosters. I could see Hotel decontaminations and detentions for the week(s) a team is...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Well, the early coach firings seem to suggest owners are treating this like a lost season, and figuring they may as well reset early. Speaking of covid, as soon as a team can't merely reschedule to get all their games in, the NFL will _have_ to give everyone another bye week for fairness...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Shocking, an expansion with a squish left us weaker than the day before. Like usual, the crappier your gear, the relatively weaker you are after the squish, but it seems extremely noticeable this time around. Guessing TTK is double if not quadruple what it was yesterday.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, the Chargers are really gonna lose this. Given how injury ruined so many teams are, it will be very interesting to see the final records of the worst divisional winner and wildcard. Do we finally see a 6-10 playoff team?

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    I am not even an internet accountant, but Netflix has lost billions every year. There was some talk things were about to come to a head in 2020 when the pandemic led to a bunch of new subscriptions which pushed any potential reckoning down the pike.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, going for it did not make sense, kicking a field goal means Seattle has to get a touchdown and a 2 point conversion just to tie. Now Seattle has to just score a touchdown and they win.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Someone has to have a "Days lost by Week One starters due to injury" counter, right? Also, does anyone get cut for anything non-criminal, when people are going down at this rate?

    It was nice of the Chiefs to let the Raiders score once before they demolished them.

    Falcons pass defense is, um, not great atm, imagine if the Packers had NFL-level wide receivers.

    Actually, Burns is right, the Deep checks his own head hasn't exploded at that point, so the head popper is likely someone in the church. Given that Stormfront previously said she was a member long ago, it looks like the Scientology parallels will be literal, as they 'promote' normal people to...

    If you watch that bit again, Shockwave doesn't get popped until after the PR lady starts yelling that the superheroes should do something, though I can't imagine how anyone could come up with the conclusion that this was anything other than a Vought coverup. As far as Butcher, that could be him...

    So two 0-3 teams, now with backup (or worse) QBs? Ratings gold! ... I say before the touchdown.

    Are the Giants going to get demolished by the 49ers second string? Not sure that's more on an indictment on hi ow bad these Giants are or hi ow much of a wasted season this is for the 49ers.

    Utopia

    Having never seen the UK version, I thought it was fine. I'll have a hard time imagining I'll remember much of anything of it in 30 days, but especially when content is limited, it's worth a watch. First impressions aren't great, with the multiracial lead, 'body positive' past protector, and...

    The Boys

    The set dressing heavily implied they were in a jewelry shop, and thus the circular blade was presumably some diamond tipped reinforced tool for gemcutting. When Starlight got hit with the .50, she did bleed slightly, but had no lasting effects. Cindi is clearly Starlight+ level, though the...

    Yeah, American history tends to gloss over that the Nazis intentionally killed off Roma (gypsies), and had no qualms with killing off Poles, etc. when they got in the way. Furthermore, while Homelander polls best with midwestern whites, if he's anything, it's a Supe Supremacist. He may not...

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    So MS now owns both the people making Starfield (Beth) and the people who made the budget Starfield in Outer Worlds (Obsidian). Someone at MS really like space RPGs. That said this seems like a terrible decision for MS, how many Doom 2020s will it take to make that back? Because there's no...

    Packers run defense wasn't great to start with, and without Kenny Clark this is laughable. NFC North will be a grind until the very end, and the Lions might actually be the favorite (was rooting for the Bears to win last week, still feel dirty). That said, is any NFC team jumping out at anyone...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    I'd be pretty surprised if they give the job to Tom Hardy, he'd be ~46 by the time the first movie of his comes out, which would make him the oldest bond at his start, especially when one of the stated reasons they didn't go with Idris Elba when Craig retired the last time was that Elba was...

    Also, I couldn't tell if the AOC rant about Homelander's war crimes was them mocking the left or being so stupid they repeated the same mistakes - the Geneva conventions (that would decide what a war crime is) only apply to uniformed members of national armies, questionable Bush 2 detention...

    This season is weaker than last, but part of that is the weekly delivery combined with the 'break everyone up into their own storylines' approach. It is possible eveything will tie up nicely, but at this point it's like complaining two thirds into Infinty War about 'This Thor weapon plotline is...

    The stadiums with no fans and no noise make these games seem like the Z-Tier college playoff games ESPN created just to sell ad spots.

    More accurately, Stormfront _acted_ like she was afraid of Homelander once she found out what his fly-into-a-rage limit was. Unfortunately, the "laser my tits" scene we saw in the ads but not yet in the show make it clear the mollification was just evaluation, and not actually fear.

    That was a weirdly premise changing episode for episode four into a season. Frankly, Homelander not browsing through Pepe memes is subtlety for current Hollywood, though the complete lack of consensus on riots vs protests shows both sides had their Meme Hall Putschs long ago. ... though ATrain...

    I would assume they were so far behind schedule that the new CN execs could use an escape clause in the contract. I think we'll get talk about a wrap up DVD movie, but nothing will ultimately ever be made.

    The Venture Bros.

    On one hand, it's had such huge breaks that I stopped missing it long ago, but at the same time, this is one of my probably three favorite shows of all time. Hell, I think I am down to just streaming shows I watch at this point.
