    I'm assuming Rodgers is going to be healthy, so no way can I rank Green Bay in the 5 worst teams in the NFC. Last year the 5th worst team in the NFC was a tie between Washington and Green Bay at 7-9 (both finished 3rd in their divisions). Given the health issues both of those teams had...

    Any real dps would laugh at this. As soon as they put Misdirect (and similar abilities) in the game our dps have bitched at the tanks that they help do their job for them.

Much bigger stadiums in NFL versus NBA, as the above link shows, even with all the extra games NBA only about 4.2 million more in total attendance. I found figures from 2016 (I know, 2 years...

    So S8 started and Mike/Rachael are gone. I like the addition of Zane to the firm, although Heigl just isn't doing it for me as some badass lawyer. I wonder if the rest of the cast dislikes her as much as everyone else seems to the last X amount of years.

    I think he's worth $20M a year. 25 gets into crazy territory. If they offered him $21M a year for 4 years, I'd say that's a pretty fair offer.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Yeah asking for 25M a year as a Dline player is pretty outrageous. He's obviously the best defensive player in the game but there's a limit to how much they will get paid. $25M a year is basically QB money. Good starter QB money.

    I thought their issue is they didn't want to go above $13M or 13.5 a year, and Bell wanted 15.

    There's always going to be exceptions. A 3 year deal for Bell I think would carry some risk (at least, a deal you could get out of after 3 years)...but he might be worth it.

    Guy complaining about random encounters and the dialogue so much, it's ironic that the worst thing in this video is his voice whining about why he dislikes everything so much. I'd rather play through the game and dislike it normally rather than listen to him explain why he dislikes anything.

    I get that dating one is different from just banging one..but it's interesting how potentially cheating on your wife with one you're viewed as "the man" for banging a porn star, but dating one as a bachelor in your new city is viewed as nasty and disgusting.

    Even as the Chosen One, he still was taken in for training at a young age, much younger than either Luke or Rey. Doesn't strike me as nearly as big of a Mary Sue as Rey in that case. If Rey is "another" Chosen One, you'd think there'd at least be reference to a prophecy or some such regarding...

    "Royal" Jedi Bloodline assumes Skywalker or some throwback tie in to Kenobi or something. I'm saying it would be better if she has SOME connection in order for Luke/Anakin's old lightsaber to call to her the way it did, or it's just another Mary Sue plot device that detracts from TFA and the...

    Hahaha well the whole idea of JJ having Luke/Anakin's old lightsaber "calling" to her in TFA would seem to indicate SOMETHING other than "lol Force sensitive". I'm not saying she had to be a Skywalker, etc...but some sort of link to explain that would be a bit better context. Honestly a lot of...

    You're betting that JJ sticks with the "Rey's parents were just junk dealers with zero significance whatsoever and she had zero connections to Skywalker's old training facility or any other bloodline with even slight significance?"

    I liked the fight scene against Snoke's guards with Kylo and Rey working together in that instance. Obviously you could nitpick the fight scene in certain spots (and I think how Snoke was killed was stupid), but for the most part it was fun and helped play with that dynamic of will they work...

    That's exactly what you're doing, but in reverse trying to justify it as not bad. Doing so with bad examples, and outright incorrect facts from the Original Trilogy to boot. I even stated in my first response to you it wasn't even nearly the worst thing about the movie, just definitely a...

    None of those examples were a lone X wing pilot chilling in front of a major battleship attempting to "troll" the head of the Imperial military. Try again Scream. Major reason why the rest of those examples worked and the Poe/Hux one didn't.

    I never said Tarkin, you're quoting others there. Nor did I come in and say he was a badass. Keep up Scream. None of the comparisons you've tried to make have been apples to apples, and you're smart enough to know that.
