    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Normally I'd definitely still be going to see it, being the last of a trilogy and all that. But with this? Reviews here and elsewhere would have to be off the charts after the failure that is TLJ

    Well the big twist was definitely in the trailer it shows him igniting the lightsaber, so you're not sure if he's a force user, etc. Kind of agree with Xadion, though, him and Rey have a bit of a connection by the end of TFA. Next time we see him up and about in TLJ it's as comic relief in his...

    Shit, didn't know all that backstory. Also, while he's right to go ballistic after reading that shit script, if it was just because he wasn't featured more prominently, then this might be the only thing KK did that I agree with.

    Agreed. This bs wink wink to the refs like we got you unless you totally fuck one up just as bad as last year is getting old. I get it on marginal shit and when both guys are hand-fighting the entire way down the field, but that shit at the end there was obvious illegal contact and a hold...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    With literally nobody to throw to because they're all hurt. Except Golden Tate. Who I'm not starting in fantasy...so incoming 12 receptions for 140 yards after the Giants are down 3 scores all game.

    Their GM has been making some bad moves that have hurt that roster quite a bit. Sid, Murray, and Guentzel will have to carry that team as far as they can.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Don't get why they don't force feed OBJ/Landry more in red zone. They go to the also ran receivers and that shit happens. Throw could have been better but that should not have ended in a pick.

    I think KC only chance to spoil Pats to the SB, so I'm not going to disagree with you on that. B's were fortunate to have a much easier path to the Finals last year than they probably thought they would. Don't see it happening that way again.

    While it would be amusing to watch Boston lose another Game 7 at home like they did in the SCF, maybe one of us can spare you that and just knock you out earlier this year

    Would like to thank the schedule makers for having our home opener last night be 2nd game of back to back and 3rd in 4 nights. Cheers guys. Honestly, though just hope Kuznetsov being back next game helps the power play out. 0/6 is how you lose games.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Considering they have $15.6M in cap space for this year and $24M in dead cap ($16.4M of which are Kam Chancellor and Doug Baldwin)...they would still have the ability to do so once that's all clear.

    If I recall, they got insane goaltending above expected last year right? Mitch Korn, who is goalie coach that follows Trotz around, is a miracle worker.

    I love the one guy that puts out models mostly based on expected goals...and going into this year he made his predictions again but finally admitted that the Capitals for the last 5 years (Trotz years plus one year with Reirden) were using "some tactics" that couldn't be measured with current...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    He had some low throws to receivers tonight, but his one pick was literally all on Everett tipping up a perfect throw for an easy 1st down. Although Goff/Everett got robbed of TD earlier that they didn't challenge b/c they marked it inside the one and just handed it off to Gurley (sucked for...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    This is all why I was completely fine with trading Thielen in fantasy this week. I just see that drama imploding that team, mostly because Cousins does terrible under pressure. He's going to crack, and it won't matter b/c he's getting all $84M anyways.

    That's what I was curious about if those estimates were accounting for improvements in tech along the way or making the claim simply using that static tech level.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Still my favorite thread on the board. Khorum the only part I'm skeptical on is the colonizing the galaxy in 50 million years with ~1969 tech. Is that assuming constant expansion and travel to go from one edge to the other basically on that rocket tech? Just feels like that ignores so many...

    It was interesting watching the 2nd game on TV, Sharks and Vegas. Two teams that hated each other going at it right out of the gate. Our game seemed rather tame by comparison, at least from a physical play standpoint. Blues and Caps just aren't a rivalry at all, hell most fans I know from...

    Almost feel bad we spoiled the party. Almost. Caps looked damn good last 40+ minutes of that game. On a better night Ovechkin hits the net more and has 2 or 3 goals. Vrana was dangerous with his speed all night, too.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    The signs were all there. Failing in the clutch, losing against winning teams. The one thing Jay Gruden seems to be able to do is get decent receivers open quite a bit in his offense, and when Cousins had Garcon and Desean Jackson to throw to, along with a semi healthy Jordan Reed (as opposed...

    I think the defense was a lot better than the final score indicates. Up that much that early, Goff throwing that ball that many times...they were going to put up some numbers. But when it mattered, it was big.

    I mean..they should be 3-1 right now if that kick is made last week, and only lost to Niners due to bad Winston with 2 pick 6's.

    Late in the EU they had Lumiya (Sith female) utilize multiple force projections to force people to fight what appeared to be "evil twins" of each other across many light years. If I recall it was implied she drew on the power of some asteroid where a former lord of the Sith lived for many...

    Pederson such a moron going for 2 when it was 27-20. Just kick the XP and force them to get a 2 point conversion at some point. Although some of my ire is probably because I'm going against Packers' D in fantasy and that extra point would push them into 35+ points given up and an extra -3.
