    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Apparently they could get the deal done because the Packers have given up on keeping Bulaga. Given that Rodgers is so good that only the quality of his OL slows him down, I'm not sure this is the best outcome.

    The Last Man on Earth

    Fox's "Woops!"*, which ran in Fall of 1992. And yeah, I thought about the same thing when I heard about Last Man on Earth. This is the show I am most interested in seeing this TV season; even with Miller and Lord involved, I can't conceive of it succeeding. *Featuring a pre-Sliders Rembrandt!

    Meh. Does anyone think he can hold up for an entire season anymore? It sounded like everyone assumed he would be back, but is there any reason to expect anything more than the Broncos to barely win the division and then get bounced out in the widcard or divisional round?

    Again, we aren't talking about the best team, we're talking about the best situation. It's entirely possible that the "objectively" best AFC teams over the next few years are Patriots, then Steelers/Ravens in some order, even the Bengals, andthenthe Colts, but the AFC title game remains...

    Heroes Reborn

    It was weird how they never even shot the final episode from Season 1 - I was looking forward to the special effects extravaganza they were hinting at, with nearly a dozen mutants finally using their powers full blast to stop Sylar. All silliness aside, it's ironic that the issue Season 2 had...

    The disgusting thing is, the Patriots will continue to be the favorite in the AFC. The Colts are still likely a year+ away, and the AFC North will continue to beat each other up before one of them gets to the Patriots. Sure, one of these years, Brady "leaves" (realizes he's about to be...

    Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

    Yeah, December 2015 is actually relatively packed as far as big budget movies go, with Star Wars and (probably) another The Davinci Code the week before, and Hunger Games, James Bond, and The Martian still hanging around. Whereas Guardians of the Galaxy proved that the deadzone of August can...

    Err, yes, it's an adaptation of a well regarded foreign show. So "stupidest show" may not be accurate. "Stupidest Press Release", on the other hand? This show has got it on lock. From the scheduling announcement NBC put out: "But what the hosts and guests don?t know is that this moment...

    Looks like the boys wanted to shake things up for Season 6. Hopefully the new New York location and money level mean we'll have some wackier plots. Edit: Credits said Stephen Colbert came back to do Professor Impossible, so that's nice to see.

    Eh, a lot of solo athletes like to go into their concentration zone, where they ignore the existence of everyone else and focus on their thing alone (and don't want anyone interrupting them). It wouldn't surprise me if kickers fall under that category.

    So the Seahawks won like almost all of us expected them to, but let the Packers have hope for almost the entire game. That's even more diabolical than winning straight through. Depending on how severe those Seahawks injuries are, NE has a chance in two weeks.

    Technically, John Fox's history is as a defensive coach, and the Bears certainly need help on that side. But yeah, the NFC North is no picnic to rebuild in - and I'm honestly not sure the Vikings aren't the second best team in the division even before the 2015 regular season is over.

    For those who don't know, Luck did get an Architecture degree at Stanford. That isn't that weird a topic, considering. Also, what the hell will his retirement home look like, given his near-infinite budget by that point.
