Note that that number of wins vs quality opponents resulted in Carroll getting canned - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47513676/raiders-fire-pete-carroll-one-season-gm-john-spytek-remains That said, I'll reiterate that if there ever was a year for a high seed to sneak into the Super Bowl...

God himself apparently demands the 9-8+ Superbowl playoff loss.

Hey, one NFC North team is getting a playoff win this year! (Sadly, it's probably the Bears with how beaten up the Packers are.) Honestly, the Raiders winning as soon as it was 'safe' for them to do so looks more suspicious than them losing out. Eagles / 49ers and Jaguars / Bills the games to...

Winner gets the first seed - a week of rest, and home field advantage in the NFC West meatgrinder are pretty important.

The NFC South winner vs an NFC West wildcard is going to be the Sat Afternoon game for how lopsided its going to be. Edit: Reminder for those not watching the game that if the Falcons win, the Panthers still win the division (2 way tiebreaker rules are different than 3 way rules).

Well yes, all the existing capacity is already accounted for. (And then some, the core issue being that AI orders will account for another 40% of what was already effectively maxed capacity.) The (terrifying?) thing being that none of the big three manufacturers have decided that demand at 140%...

Tons of chatter that AMD and Nvidia are raising prices on their cards to counteract rising RAM costs. (Reminder that neither AMD nor Nvidia make their own chips nowadays.) Possibly as early as start of business Monday, but definitely during their product lineup press releases during CES next...

I think you meant That said, with Villenueve, Nolan, Lord & Miller, and even weird stuff like Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) ⭐ 6.3 | Animation, Action, Adventure, I have a hard time thinking this year will be a complete bust. Plus with Spider-Man and Avengers: There Goes All Our...

Ah, now that could work, as you said the audience hasn't been introduced to designed bioweapons (vs mutated creatures). Hell, let's go full cheese - Coop meets Barb soon afterward (who's just a mid-level Vault-Tec grunt) who says "Vault-Tec doesn't deal with monsters", the invalidation of that...

Well yeah, the set decorators / costumers are the MVPs of this show, from the basically 1:1 vaults from last season to everything this season (including the virtually 1:1 hotels we still haven't seen outside of previews). That said, while the Securitron / Power Armors looked great, they sure as...

The franchise financials seem pretty murky at this point. To be clear: A4 and A5 have not been fully greenlit yet. The kids did their performance capture for pre-time jump A4 years ago, and while Disney had scheduled A4 and A5 even pre-Covid, A4 has not actually gone into full production...

So the Chargers will likely be the AFC 7h seed, have to go to NE in the WC, then even if they win have to come back to Denver anyway? Not sure that plan makes much sense unless Herbert needs the rest. So Texans will presumably be 5 seed and get to beat up on whomever wins the AFC North? Maybe...

I'm gonna be pretty pissed if that failed Bills 2-point attempt blocks us from GB-Chi III.

So SNF next week is Ravens / Steelers? Even if Bucs won vs Panthers next week to tie at 8-9, the Panthers still win the division due to Conference Record, yes? Edit: Brainfart, they'd both be 6-6 in the conference, so then its the strength of victory metric, which might actually favor the Bucs...

Packers need a mountain of other games to go the right way to get out of the 7th seed, they have no reason to care, other than players making the case for why Willis should be a starter somewhere next year. Edit: The only game that matters this year for GB is a Chicago 2 Seed / Packers 7 Seed...

There's a lot of chatter that _this_ rebuild may finally be the one where the Raiders let Crosby be traded for a haul, no sense letting him get a serious injury which hurts his trade value in a game the Raiders shouldn't want to win. For those not paying attention: There's only two 2-win teams...

Raiders are taking the Ultra Super Mega Tank Bowl seriously https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47421136/raiders-sit-de-maxx-crosby-game-vs-giants-sources-say (Given that the Giants will lose to the Cowboys next week, the Raiders do need to lose this week and let KC beat them next week.)

Packers in the playoffs (as almost certainly the 7th seed)? Now we just need the Bears to get the 2nd seed to set up the Packers chance to ruin the Bears' season in the wildcard round. Go Seahawks! (Or any other NFC West team that gets the 1st seed, I don't care which.)

FYI, the Biden administration had already mandated LLMs only pull from left-leaning sources. Personally, I am fine with AI everything*, as long as it is disclosed. If the AI product isn't immediately inferior to the human-made product, well, that tells you everything about the humans involved...

Lamar has a $51M salary and a $74M(!) cap hit for next year. The only real way to reduce the second number is by adding years to his contract, and apparently he thinks he's better than he is (or frankly ever was, as he's arguably always been over-glazed by Black commentators). Edit: If you...

Why do we hate Manousos? In a portion of the time Carol's had since the joining, he's developed anti-Joining theory and test applications, using only reference material in a language he doesn't know. Still see nothing to dissuade me that the critical conflict is Carol deciding between letting...

Well, yes, given that the NFC side is really the NFC West Off, not having to deal with one of your divisional rivals for at least one week (since you're on a bye) is a pretty massive swing in your chances to make it out of the NFC. Does anyone really think the NFC South team, Eagles, Bears, or...

Apparently, this was literally death by HDR - the tunnel is supposedly notorious for being very dark, then very bright sunlight once you get out, and his eyes did not adjust in time. Obviously play stupid games, win stupid prizes, etc., but worse he took someone else with him.

I think it is completely legitimate to say that this is the weakest #1 seed, regardless of who it is, seen in the AFC in decades. No one's a clear favorite: NE: Given their great defense and average starting field position, their offense is actually middle of the pack. Bills: Josh Allen is...

Guardian Caps are a newer helmet design that is supposed to be more resistant to concussions. Their contours are different enough that the league started putting those cloth wraps over them for visual consistency. The size differences do invite comparisons to bobbleheads, however.

I didn't like the Packers to win the game with their injuries, but what a collapse to lose the game this way, especially if Willis isn't 100% for next week. Though to be honest, it'd probably be better for the Packers to lose and give the last wildcard slot to the Lions, the Lions might be able...

Kids give each other lice all the time in grade schools, especially in colder climates where kids are wearing (each other's) hats all the time. Speaking of actual football, while the Packers might still squeeze out a win here, they just don't have the Oline to do anything meaningful in the...

IIRC, Kepler 22-b was the first planet found where water is likely to be liquid that isn't also a gas giant. A number of sci-fi entries reference it as a result. It's probably still not habitable by people though, given that its gravity is ~2.5 times that of Earth and is furthermore probably...

Considering that unless the Eagles get their act back together, the only NFC teams I consider contenders are all in the West, I expect some great playoff games on that side of the fence.

Lots of chatter Nvidia is cutting production, in part due to slower sales and in part due to memory costs - https://www.pcmag.com/news/nvidia-might-cut-rtx-50-gpu-supply-by-up-to-40-in-2026-due-to-memory-shortages Specifically, cutting production on the lower end 16GB cards (5060Ti and 5070Ti)...

The obvious interpretation is that it is House, with the 'old stomping grounds in Vegas' comment... ... except the back half of that sentence is 'where you all left off'. Who would the "all" be in this context? And why would House need to copy someone else's work for tech he either invented or...

That's really rude to spoil that without mentioning Hank using the Zetan Resuscitator on her he got from the Shi in San Francisco.

Hank walked into a room marked Global Comms for his radio message, there's no need for it to be a local branch - obviously the Enclave had significant resources in the DC area in the Fallout 3 DLC, for example.

In regards to whom Hank is talking to on the phone - I'll assume whomever the Enclave president / leader is now. The show did introduce the Enclave in season one when Michael Emerson / Wilzig escapes from them with Dogmeat and the cold fusion chip, but I have a hard time imagining the show will...

Since the internet seems to be confused: House was not recast. Justin Theroux, the guy at the bar, is the real Robert House. Rafi Silver, the guy in the pre-war meeting Cooper spied on last season, and who was on the TV at the bar this season, is a fake House. He's likely Robert House's...

That wasn't particularly exciting. And not only going with Novac, but playing Big Iron right off the bat? Boy, Bethesda / this show is going to mine someone else's work to the bedrock this season, aren't they. I am somewhat surprised they admitted the Reds are actually Chinese (nationality was...

That clip was all I've seen online. Looked legitimate, to be honest - ironically, that third world angled cam-recording makes it seem tougher to AI fake, in my opinion. I would also think someone faking the footage would make more interesting footage, to be honest.

Apparently they've given up on actual movie reviews at this point.

Clue came out in 85, it was only 14 years old when EQ launched, and only 19 years old when WoW launched. I would assume that most board (pr predecessor) members from those respective launches were alive when Clue came out, though given that WoW has been running for 21 goddamn years, many newer...
