    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    God damn it Giants, knock a divisional rival out of the playoffs! (That it lets the Packers in is a complete coincidence.)

    Why are the Browns trying to win here?

    I totally think the Chiefs could hold the Patriots to 21 or less. I just don't think the Chiefs would hit double digits :\

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Err, that's exactly the reason it's on NFL Network - so many of the other TNF games aren't anymore, why would you pay extra to have the service? Some of the documentaries are okay, but out of the last year, even the best non-game NFL show aired on Amazon (All or Nothing).

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Rams & Chargers delivering a Christmas miracle: Browns no longer tied for worst team ever while still keeping #1 Draft pick. Mariota has broken leg; who's ready for more Texans/Chiefs playoff action?

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Yeah, but they were bad decisions before. Now they are increasingly his mind writing checks his body can no longer cash. I think it costs the Giants a mere $900k more to keep him on the roster than to cut him this offseason, so he's not going anywhere in 2017. I wouldn't be shocked if they use...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I don't either, but the consensus is his arm strength fell off a cliff. Maybe he has an injury that they just aren't reporting, but his brother's history suggests he's just done. Looking at spotrac, it costs the Giants nearly as much to cut him as keep him for 2017, so he will be on the roster...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Hey, I'm a long-term two team faggot Raiders fan! ... and I'm picking the Chiefs on this one. Hell, the Chiefs may still be the AFC team most likely to surprise the Patriots in the playoffs.

    Westworld

    Westworld, specifically? Look, I realize the common populace may not know that R.U.R., the damn-near century old play that created the term "robot" - ends with them exterminating humans. But the CNN writers don't know this? Or at least mention it in the article? Jesus fucking Christ.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I like how quickly this has turned from "The Vikings can hang with anyone!" to "Ya, we suck, eh?" Makes me feel good for the Vikings effort for the rest of the year.

    Yeah, this game is over, other than seeing if the Steelers suffer any major injuries.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    This is why I am not going to crown the Cowboys - way too easy to imagine the Giants /Redskins handling the Lions / Falcons and then coming to town to upset a Cowboys team out of rhythm from the bye and starting off slow (not to mention the Seahawks afterward for all the NFC marbles). I can't...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    No offense, but if it is taking you this long to finish us (I think I might be the dime CB next week), you're not going anywhere either. Sure, someone has to get the second NFC wildcard, and your only opposition is, what, whomever doesn't win the North out of Lions/Vikings? But let's be...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I don't pay attention to the College ranks, but I thought their were no sure-thing QBs this year? It's just the Browns luck they have #1 totally on lock and have the likes of this Trubisky to pick from. Also note that I am spending more attention on QB prospects for some other team than...

    Hell or High Water: neo-western from the writer of Sicario

    I've said it before, it's been a borderline bad year for movies, and while I can immediately rattle off a Top 4 of Cap / Deadpool / Nice Guys / Hell of High Water, I can't even come up with a #5 that doesn't make me immediately go "Wait, seriously?" Now that this thread has turned into 'Movies...

    That Rams/Jets game was everything you expected it to be, wasn't it? Also, the Packers suck again. Crown the... Lions? Man this year is confusing.

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    I finally got around to seeing this. "Did you think Ant-Man wasn't formulaic enough? Well, we've made all the humor terrible while bumping the 60's LSD psychadelia to 13." I'd still put it at a 7/10 or so, but that's mostly because it's been a terrible year for movies. Edit: I forgot to...

    Hell or High Water: neo-western from the writer of Sicario

    Just to reiterate: This movie's pretty good, it's a bummer it didn't get more coverage, and you should watch when you have a chance. (I'd put it in spot 3 or 4 for me for the year: Definitely below Cap America 3 and Deadpool, fighting with The Nice Guys for #3.)

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Apparently Norv's kid (Scott) is staying the QB coach. Which means there's a limited amount of bad blood there, and now makes me think it was just Norv saying "I am too damn old to deal with this mess of no offensive players I planned on".

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    What the fiddily fuck? Yeah, they were downright bad on Monday, but they're still the #2 seed in the NFC, without their #1 QB, #1 RB, and half their O-Line. Like unless Turner came to blows with Zimmer/Ownership over how bad their situation is, I don't get this.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    So does Cleveland just pretend the Browns don't exist? The city is on the edge of winning two championships in a year, but with today's loss vs. the Jets, 0-16 is now more likely than 1-15. (Maybe the Ravens? Or Bills? Maaaybe?)

    Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

    You could certainly view this movie through a SJW prism, where the first movie had just two women, one an apparently very pregnant* Rosamund Pike who just sat there and was two steps behind him to deliver exposition, and the other a borderline whore, and the one black guy turns out evil. Hence...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Bryan Fuller is stepping back from Star Trek: Discovery Sure, they couch it in "He's real busy!", but even the article references that they are nowhere with casting on this. I try to stay out of the SJW fights on the internet, but even I have to admit they seem to be more concerned with...

    Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)

    There have been a lot of mediocre sequels through the years, but I am struggling to come up with a worse drop between entries in recent memory. Maybe X2 to X-men 3? If that sentence doesn't tell you to wait for DVD, I don't know what would.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Some of those are just DC published as opposed to DCU; in that case you'd have to add things like The Losers (probably Tier 3) and the Reds (via Wildstorm) - and I'd put the original Red in Tier 2. Edit: Not to mention actual DCU entries like the old Batman and Superman movies, their spinoffs...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    This is a Sony PSP, except with a formal dock and not a TV out cable. 12 years of massive technology advances have allowed Nintendo to... add removable side controllers? Again, the interesting part isn't the mobile technology pretending to be a console. It's Nintendo's still pretty great...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I'm wondering if the Eagle, Giants, and Redskins will all make the playoffs... and wondering if that would be the better outcome for the Packers in the long run.

    Thank god the Packers are now facing Chicago's 3rd string QB - we might actually get a victory.

    The Accountant (2016)

    It's Rain Wick! Conceptually, it's pretty unique - the after-school-special action movie. But like most hybrids, I don't see it making either camp happy. There's really only three sequences for the action crowd, and the special interest crowd won't get this to major profitability. It'll...

    The Packers might luck into an NFC Championship appearance at some point, but their period as a real Super Bowl contender is probably over :\

    The Magnificent Seven (2016)

    Utterly unmemorable, though I don't remember the original either. In a Western mood? Go see Hell or High Water instead.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    I could use some recommendations for new material. I borderline adore Niven and own a copy of everything from Stephenson, Scalzi, Bear, & Banks as well. I appear to enjoy logic puzzle world building over all else.

    Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

    I'm kind of surprised Mel Gibson got work. Note that the trailer is too: it just mentions "The Director of Braveheart", and his name is nowhere. Frankly, I haven't heard of most of those production companies either.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I can't believe that much internet ire was generated over this unfunny, unmemorable, unnecessary remake. This isn't some anti-women or anti-Feig sentiment - go watch Spy, which was probably 2015's best comedy (depending on how you classify Ant-Man) - it's the bizarre choices to cast McCarthy...

    Real talk: I honestly don't know if anyone is better than the Vikings in the NFC right now (I'm still hesitant on the Eagles and Falcons' defenses).

    I hope the Steelers suffer a major injury for being assholes. And if the Patriots had anyone at QB today, they woulda won.

    Lemme rephrase... The Dolphins will draft a QB and start phasing Tannehill out next season?

    Am I overreacting to say that after this game, the Tannehill era is over, and the Bengals aren't a playoff team without Eifert?

    Mr. Robot

    They almost certainly have evidence Tyrell knows Elliot, they know Elliot knows Darlene, and they know FSociety was involved. They shouldn't have any evidence linking Tyrell with any other FSociety member, other than through Elliot (though Mobley worked in an E-Corp bank branch). The...
