This game seems like its over.

I wouldn't want the Ravens OC job, because Lamar runs that org until he's off the team / off their books, and the OC / HC will get the blame until then. I wouldn't want the Browns job, because they still have to pay the Deshaun tax for years and the org is a mess. I wouldn't want the Raiders...

It's weird how all of the big three of the 90s had different arcs: TNG had a very weak beginning (all those leftover TOS scripts) and mostly skippable later seasons (most of their bigwigs were working on Star Trek: Generations). DS9 had a weak beginning but just kept getting better over the...

So the Ravens have Lamar running the team, the Browns have Shedeur and an organization no one even wants to interview for, and the Steelers have a terribly overpaid defense, no QB, and now McFatty. If Burrow and the Bengals can't get anything done next season, Cincy needs a complete rebuild.

I know nearly all 'cherry' flavoring is really grenadine, made from pomegranate juice. I also know it is called grenadine because the fruits reminded people of early explosive grenades, pomegranate being literally "grenade fruit", which sounds like the straightest of produce. I don't know how...

For F1, two reminders: 1) The field was expanded from 5 to (potentially / usually) 10 because mass market movies like the Dark Knight Rises were being left off the list in favor of pure Oscar bait. 2) There are (or at least, were prior to the voter expansion) a lot of Euros in the voting...

Apparently Lost references have aged out: The Man Behind the Curtain (Lost) - Wikipedia was the first episode to have flashbacks for Michael Emerson's character. (Fun fact: Jon Gries - the NCR Ranger who gets mind-chipped here - was also in that Lost episode as Emerson's dad.) The point...

I hate The Man Behind the Curtain. Obviously, that actor does well with parts where his alignment is in question, and he was a big actor for his screen time up to this point, but there was nothing - NOTHING - that suggested he was someone in a position of power in the footage so far. Nor is...

Yeah, a ton of Defensive Head Coach hires that I just can't fully evaluate without knowing what OC they get, but there's so many unfilled HC spots that it could be weeks before all the OCs get filled - how many of the Kubiaks and McDaniels get HC spots, etc.

Also, not only are the Bills keeping their GM, he's actually getting a promotion, when you could make the argument this is one of the worst versions of the team recently.

FYI, add another one: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47660266/source-bills-fire-coach-sean-mcdermott On one hand, I get it, Josh Allen never making a Super Bowl suggests there's something wrong with the team - but that could just be not having a good enough team, and / or running into...

NFC West-Off has been reinstated. Seahawks over Rams - Seahawks are better than the Bears, though it should be a game. Patriots over Broncos - Even with Nix, I probably would have picked the Patriots, given how little the Broncos won by compared to the Bills' turnovers. With Stidham? Unless the...

Suppose the Bears could get a safety and then score a TD, but this might finally be over. The NFC West-Off cannot be denied. Edit: Or not, that's a great starting field position to score and two-point conversion.

Obviously the strong suit of both these teams are their defenses - but their weakness is also the Oline for both. The Texans' issues are obvious (frankly, its a testament to their defense they got this far with that Oline), but Oine was also the whole reason I didn't see the Patriots as a...

Man, what a goddamn string of luck NE gets this edit: postseason. Warm weather injured 7 seed, warm weather 5 seed in snow, then the 1 seed will be starting a backup QB - and only won by 3 points this week after getting, what, 3 net fumbles? And hell, who even knows if Darnold will be healthy...

I personally am rooting for the Rams at this point (get Stafford another win on his way out), but their odds are long.

Seattle should only have their backup QB in at this point.

Wow, as if this NE / Texans game wasn't important enough, especially if Darnold is limping (literally) into the Super Bowl.

49ers playing way too desperate for this early, unless even they know its a lost cause.

Do people not realize there was a classic power struggle for the Ravens over the last few weeks, and Harbaugh lost? Again, Lamar's cap hit is way too high next year - he either has to be extended or traded this offseason - and Bisciotti and co. decided they were siding with Lamar. Which is why...

It is exactly what it sounds like, and your reaction is correct.

AFAIK, the solo Rey movie directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy could still technically happen, it's just in script hell. The original assumption was the trilogy by Simon Kinberg would negate that movie, but it was then stated that Kinberg's movies would be a new later time frame after any Rey...

Rumors continue that Nvidia is, at best, pausing production on the lower end 16GB cards There's additional rumors out there that even at the 8GB level, it'll just be 5060TIs soon. (Again, Nvidia doesn't make their own chips, if component costs go through the roof, there's only so much they...

Coop's kid aging out will be a problem, like in all TV shows. Hell, when she answered the door earlier this season, there was some weird artifacting that had me wonder if they didn't digitally alter her height. It'll be even worse if they go earlier in the timeline to cover New Plague material...

DSN Season 1 isn't as bad as TNG Season 1, but I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Hell, I'd probably have them skip to the last episode of Season 2 (introducing the Jem'Hadar) for that matter. Not to be _that_ guy, but I'd absolutely recommend the early seasons of Babylon 5 (which would...

All male and female (Lily, Tabitha) super mutants canonically look the same, unless there's some Fallout 76 hell I'm unaware of.

Eh, all roads continue to lead to The Enclave as the past and future antagonist (with maybe a one season fakeout with West Tek) . This being 21st century Hollywood, I am sure The Enclave was pissed that the Sino-American War didn't kill all the undesirables (minorities / gays / etc.) and decided...

I would say the expansion is fine, but still needs a lot of polish. Beyond all the issues Pharone had, I would add: The voice acting is super inconsistent, in some cases only voicing some of the text. Even worse, its not always the beginning text that was voiced, so you'll start reading...

Even if Aaron doesn't _start_ somewhere, I would expect him to play when someone's QB goes down midseason. As for next weekend" Broncos over Bills - Per usual, I expect this to be a squeaker until the 4th quarter, when the Broncos take the lead against the gassed Bills defense. Seahawks over...

Texans' turnovers are the #1 source of Steelers' offense.

Another defensive game? Let's see if the Steelers can top the high bar (3 points) the Chargers set.

It bears repeating that Ali is over 50 now, and would have been nearly 50 even if the movie came out at the earliest possibility. It's hard to believe they ever intended Ali to be the lead long term. Hell, if we want hard ages, if you go back to Blade 1, Whistler (Kristofferson) was around 61...

Every coach has an end-of-year meeting with their GM / ownership (depending on whom they report to). I'm very conflicted on firing LeFleur. First off, the kicker, the position the HC has the least impact with, wasted 7 points on a game GB lost by 4. That said, the timing is also messy - LeFleur...

Feels like Chargers have to score here to have any chance to stay in this.

Yeah, if that was the Chargers' big chance, they threw it away.

Ugh, the Bears host a Stafford with an injured throwing hand? Eugghh.

Oof, I picked the Bears, figuring the Packers defense would run out of gas in the second half, but man, I did not expect this game to be that identical to the last time. Edit: Flights costs aren't that bad, honestly.

Packers D is gassed and the Packers offense couldn't adapt to the Bears' defensive adjustments. This sounds very familiar.

Bears only need two scores, and the Packers are playing prevent offense. And there's a massive return.
