    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    The Giants would be absolutely fools to think Manning will cover them for years more (especially when you see what the Glennons of the world get paid, much less Mannings). Everything suggests the Giants are so beholden to Eli for getting them SB victories that they will be fools. I'd love to...

    Legion

    Actually no, not in the least. The 'facts' are: Benny was a chubby dude that fingerbanged some gal, stole her oven, did drugs with David, and got in a fight with David's sister (speaking of which, what ever happened to her or her husband?) "Lenny" was a person with Aubrey Plaza's physical...

    Legion

    I hope this season was written with a firm ending in mind, because considering the ratings trajectory, that premiere will not win any new converts. Also really fuzzy on what Plaza is now. If she's SK, how can she be trapped in SK's mind (the pool)? Is she just his id or negative aspects?!?

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    That noise you just heard was the entire NBA saying "THIS". Seriously, the Jets' meaningless (in the long-term) 3 point wins against the Browns and Jaguars pushed them from 2/3 to 6. Each of those wins essentially cost then 1.5 second round draft picks. If ever there needed to be a defense...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Well, the set shots from Avengers 4 are reportedly filled with people in old outfits. Whether Thanos nukes the timeline, the heroes give up on beating him in the present and try to alter the past to do it, or it is some weird montage where Stark gets the gauntlet and tries to come up with a...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    If you somehow couldn't understand why Garrapolo got the contract he did, $15 Mil guaranteed for 1 year of Bradford says it all. As for Cousins, smells like Elway's feeling the heat - how Cousins turns out will either end Elway or get him another decade in the job. I doubt the contract will...

    Grottino 2017: The only awards that matter (to me)

    I'm game: My Top 12 (All) Movies of 2017 One of the weirder aspects of mass market entertainment in the 21st century was watching Action Comedies not only morph into Comic Book movies, but then turn into the dominant movie genre, then become so popular they've started morphing into other genres...

    I don't see him making top money, but I could see someone (especially a Brownsian situation) giving him Tyrod Taylor-eque money and drafting a rookie this year.

    So where does Foles go? Jags? Browns? I can't imagine it working out well, but the guy will at least get a payday from someone.

    I desperately hope Pederson's half time speech is just a clip of the Jags at half time saying "This is what happens to us if you slow down for even a minute".

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Obviously, I'm rooting for the Eagles. Obviously, I'm picking the Patriots. The Patriots can be beat, but it takes four quarters of constant pressure while not having their opponent make any turnovers. The odds are against that happening. (Also, totally not trying to reverse-jinx.)

    Black Panther (2018)

    I am so hopefully disinterested in this. ... as in I am not excited in the least for yet another Marvel Origin Movie where the Hero gets his powers / full powers unlocked, assembles a support team mostly by accident, and fights the evil version of himself, cut with questionable humor. But I'm...

    XFL

    I remember Hehateme, I remember Tommy Maddox, I remember some hubbub about Vince wanting his cheerleaders to date the players, and I remember snickering when the XFL was in the Schwarzenegger movie The 6th Day. That is the entirety of what I remember about the XFL.

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    None of the females have repeated between movies until now. And while the post-Woo movies have all merged in my head, this is weird because I thought 4 stated that Cruise and the gal from 3 were still married, despite their fake identities, and why Cruise didn't go after the gal from 5 (and now...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I definitively hit "Too many instances" while I was raid mount farming this week. Maybe the cap is just removed for dungeons? Or dungeon finder is 'creating' the instances under someone else so it doesn't count against your cap?

    2018 Oscars

    While I'm sure I would have made the same joke in the 90s about the Director of Dead Alive ever being nominated for an Oscar, the film with the most nominations is the Del Toro movie about fucking a Merman? Holy shit has Harvey torpedoed this awards season. But Logan for Adapted Screenplay...

    XFL

    I thought there was already a league for people who couldn't cut it in the NFL - the CFL. While there's certainly an opening for more football - from Spring to late Summer - I can't see this getting any more traction than the Arena Leagues of the world already do. I admit I was too young to...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
