    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I realize you're a Boston sports team fan, but honestly: No, the only way we might root for you is if you were playing another Boston sports team.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    God dammit, I should have learned by now I can only harm myself with superpowers. All I can hope now is the Patriots destroy the Eagles so completely that Belichick retires (or ascends the Throne in Hell) on the spot and the Evil Empire crumbles from within as their entire coaching staff leaves...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Since the only thing that matters is the Patriots losing, and since my picks are basically guaranteed to be wrong, going Patriots /Eagles.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not sure if its been mentioned, but my personal biggest annoyance is they are actually enforcing the flags for WQs on Argus now - before if an alt hadn't gone through the Argus chain, a WQ wouldn't show up on the map, but if you got in the area it was still doable and LFG enabled. Now they don't...

    At least the Patriots are giving the Titans a whole half to put together their postgame loss speeches?

    Eagles scored just enough to win this, congrats to them. I have a hard time seeing them win vs either team next week though.

    It was nice of the Falcons to let the Eagles briefly have a lead at home before they murdered them.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Atl over Phi - Any defense will get tired from endless three and outs. NE over Ten - NE has been stunned in the early rounds before. But thanks ESPN for giving them a fake chip on their shoulder. Pit over Jax - Pit plays down to the level of their opponent, and Jax won this matchup already. Pit...

    The Animated GIF Thread

    The writing's Cyrillic, there's some dense snow turned to ice on the car, and she does it intentionally, so I would guess she's in some near-Siberian region where the gas pump handles freeze and lock, and that's the common hack to thaw them out... which is fine unless there's frozen gasoline on...

    75th Golden Globe Awards

    Lolz I'm not watching this. But this does make me realize: What's even the Oscar-bait movies this year? I realize I have no clue, and I'm not sure if it's just I've given up all pretense of caring or if Harvey burning Weinstein to the ground has totally fucked the award season dynamic (+real...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Is literally anyone on Earth excited for the AFC games next week? Now the NFC is a different story. I've heard people theorize that the Eagles are about to switch to Jay Ajayi mode, but I'm doubtful they can score enough to top the Falcons. And while I think the Saints are the best team in the...

    Injuries are demolishing the favorites today. Let's hope it holds true for next week.

    So one of the two games the Patriots (likely) have before the SB are these Titans. Come on NFC.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    We not doing picks? As wild a year it has been for most teams, the Patriots are a Chiefs Offense Exposed and an Antonio Brown-as-decoy away from the Super Bowl, yet again. While I think the NFC has defensive teams that could beat the Patriots on any given Sunday, I won't bet on any of them in...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    The Patriots are the clear favorite this year.... But next year they have an over-40 QB, no succession plan, and their coaching staff looks like it will be completely raided. I have no idea if anything in that article is accurate or not, but if Darth Bill wanted to get back at his QB/Owner who...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I thought it was widely reported that Vader showed up on the beach and murders anyone still left alive, but they slow him down enough to transmit/fly out the plans before they buy it.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    As much as the Jags/ Titans / Bills fans deserve to see a playoff game again, I can't see any of them as serious threats to NE and would prefer the Ravens were still in it.

    Is it meanspirited or just desserts to hope that the Packers injure enough Vikings to ruin their playoff chances? Because an O lineman on a cart should only be the start.

    With the rate Chicago is losing lineman, will they be the team to give the Browns their Christmas miracle win?

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Question for you: Is the lack of payoff on Snoke and Rey's parents bad in itself, or is it just that the audience hung onto those points as the only new thing TFA brought to the table?

    Black Panther (2018)

    That japanese trailer makes me feel sorry for the advertising people tasked with trying to sell a mainly black-cast movie to Asia. Hell, that trailer doesn't have a black person's face in it until 29 seconds in (the bad guy, of course). Edit: and let's not be revisionist - Thor 2, Iron Man 3...

    HAPPY!

    One one hand, I love me some Grant Morrison - The Invisibles was probably the most underrated comic of the 90s. On the other hand, this seems like Morrison thought "Man, they should make a Preacher tv series", with angels and devils being real, graphic violence, and everyone important being...

    Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

    Holy crap this movie will be terrible. There's about zero chance the volcano blowing up will be anything other than the end action scene of the movie, and any time a trailer (much less the first trailer) spoils almost the entirety of the climax, the movie is dogshit.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Did the owners have a bet going? First one to have to fire someone buys everyone Jaguars (the car, not the team) for Christmas? And now the Giants have to pay up? That said, the floodgates should be opening wide - the sooner the old regime is out and you can start interviewing new people, the...

    Plinkett, Half in The Bag and other web movie reviews

    I thought they were just riffing on how drunk they were for their Halloween BOTW, but no, they appear to be legitimately drunk as fuck. And as someone who was alive in Milwaukee at the time of the copyright, no one I had ever met talked like that, outside of parodying Minnesotans. I have to...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I don't recall Tony needing his legs to fly around much in the suit, much less that that portion couldn't be controlled otherwise. That said, Rhodey's crippling in Cap 3 always bugged me. Cheadle doesn't have enough screen time in these movies for any impact to matter, and its not like Marvel...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Doesn't the trailer rule out Heimdall as Soul Gem? Thanos would have picked up that gem as well when he wrecks Thor's ship, right? And yet I don't like Wakanda as the source either. Sure, it would explain why Wakanda was so far along - even a couple geniuses with infinite "lifespans" could get...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    One of the longer stories suggested Eli knew it was coming and the Giants offered to have him keep starting the first halves for the streak, but he figured there was no point in keeping up the charade. It's weird to think that we're about due for the Eli/Rivers/Brees/Big Ben era to start...

    I've been on the "Don't count on Eli being there next year" train longer than anyone, but in the middle of the season, to evaluate Geno Smith, and ruin his starts number? Other than the coach and GM fishing for some silver lining to keep their jobs, this makes no sense. Cue everyone and their...

    I really can't wait for the Saints/Eagles playoff game. I only hope the winner can still put up a fight against the Patriots. What I can wait for? The absolute fucking beating the Steelers will lay on the Packers. I can't believe this didn't get flexed out, nationwide Packers / Steelers fans or...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    It's weird, after a wild start to the season, does anyone have any hope for any team in the AFC playoffs other than the Patriots, Chiefs, and Steelers? And even there, the Patriots have to be the prohibitive favorites, right? At least the NFC will have some surprise entries.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    As someone who doesn't really care about College Football but has caught most of the local (Wisconsin) games because of my crew, I can't tell you how much I would like this terrible team to be the only undefeated major name left, just to watch the rankings madness.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've never seen any hard numbers on it. It does only stand to reason that you have a higher chance of escalating an injury if you only have 4 days of rest vs. 7. Then again, the flipside is you have 10 days to rest after your TNF games vs. everyone else with only 7. In addition, the...

    The day Rodgers went down, I said Top 5 Draft Pick wasn't out of the question. And while the 49ers, Browns, & Giants aren't going to beat Rodgers' 4 wins, every other team could. Seriously, with the Lions unlikely to take Week 17 off, the only game the Packers _may_ be favored in is the Browns...

    Hey guys, did you know there was a football game on? Not sure the Packers do. Although us giving the Browns their only win of the season should properly display Rodgers' value.

    Meh, I actually unsubbed yesterday after the reveal. Sure, I'll sub to play the new expansion for a month (and do Antorus on LFR at some point if I have to), but another leveling revamp (probably) and murdering / being murdered by the peoples I just spent an expansion saving isn't worth (the...
