The sequence from cutting his wrists to his first breath with no lung cancer is one of my favorites in any movie, if it's on TV and anywhere near that part I'm stopping and watching. Stormare is just awesome as the devil.

He's not wrong, in this instance. Our offense is brutal to watch at times, the insistence on sticking with the motion/DHO stuff is maddening. Calling it a 'free-flowing offense' is laughable, at the end of games it amounts to 3 DHOs for Redick or Shamet followed by Embiid jacking up a bad 3...

If you don't want to go the custom/MTO route check Charles Tyrwhitt. I'm a lifelong surfer so broad shoulders and a fairly narrow waist, their slim fit shirts fit my build well. Don't buy full price, they have sales all the time. Make sure you're ordering non-iron, their regular shirts are a...

A thread after my own heart. Here's the inside of my Ford transit that I've turned into a roaming water sport mobile. At any one time there's an assortment of surfboards, paddleboards, kiteboarding gear, etc. along with a shit ton of sand.

I think just about everyone in Philly would be fine with a new GM, he hasn't been well liked. The Fultz trade was an absolute fleecing. I actually think Fultz is going to be pretty good if he gets his shoulder figured out, but giving up the King's pick just so that the Celts could pick the guy...

Sixers are legit good, since Christmas they're a top team in the league by a lot of metrics. The Belinelli/Ilyasova signings were huge, the starting 5 was always one of the top units in the league but their bench sucked. With those two + Fultz looking really good in limited minutes the bench...

They've both been pretty incredible. Simmons last night became the third player in NBA history to have 1000/500/500 in his rookie season, joining Magic and Oscar Robertson.

It's also incredible that he's really never been injured. With all the finals appearances and the fact he came straight out of HS he's played an ungodly number of minutes. He's either got incredible PEDs or he's not human (or both).

I thought the first one was going to be ruled incomplete, and even as an Eagles fan I wouldn't have been that outraged by it. I feel like if it had been ruled incomplete from the start it would have stood as incomplete, it was very close either way. The second one there wasn't even a question...

He'll probably have some growing pains once teams get more film on him, but I think he'll be a great QB long term. I think it will be similar to Wentz: Lit the world on fire his first few games as a rookie, struggled as teams adjusted, then figured it out and played at a high level. You can...

Holy shit I need new underwear. Sadly I'm in a bar in San Francisco at a conference instead of home in Philly, my wife said shit just went crazy downtown.

The Eagles are a better overall team, I don't think a lot of people realize just how good that roster is. Their line on both sides of the ball are easily top 3, and you could probably make the case they're the best in the league. Obviously the question is Foles, but there is at least some...

You can get a pretty cheap King 1000/6000 grit combo stone (maybe 25-30 bucks on Amazon), it's very easy to sharpen knives by hand. There are tons of good youtube videos on sharpening with a Japanese waterstone.

You can use that to your advantage. Play jungle, check who's on a losing streak while the game is loading, and tilt them off the face of the earth.

The best part of the greased light poles is that every half drunk idiot took it as a challenge to climb said light poles. I keep an apartment in center city, I look down on Love park and the front of City hall. I kid you not, I saw at least 20-30 jackasses trying to climb every lightpole in...

AEs aren't bad, aside from the fact that their QC has slipped a little as they've gotten bigger. They're a good made in the US shoe for a decent price. I own/have owned Aldens, Carminas, AEs, Rancourts, Vibergs, among others. AE quality is comparable and their customer support is by far the...

The Eagles haven't had a chance the last 2 games, I'm glad people are making it a 3rd. This team feeds off being an underdog. It's not a bad spot to be as a fan either, everything feels like playing with house money. If we lose we got to the SB with Nick Foles, that's way more than I expected...

I live a block from City Hall in Philly, the mayhem is starting out there.

27-2, but who's counting :). Foles does really well in an RPO offense, which Chip was huge on. No coincidence that Pederson's gameplan is really heavy on RPOs with Foles in.

The Pats didn't exactly dominate against Blake Bortles.

What an odd game to watch as an Eagles fan. I had no expectations at all going in, felt like playing with house money. Foles played well enough, the defense is great. A Nick Foles superbowl would be hilarious.

Finished Deadhouse Landing, good book. It's fun to see how people like Dassem, Tayschrenn, etc end up working for Kellanved and Dancer. The arrowhead is explained in this one too.

If it comes down to that I actually like the Eagles. They're basically dead even with the Saints in rushing (2nd/3rd in the league separated by a few yards), and first in rush defense. Brees scares the shit out of me, has since he was at Purdue and I was at Penn State.

There's not really anything fluky about what they're doing, they're just a solidly built team. Defensively their front 7 may be the best in football, and their secondary has turned into a surprisingly deep group. Offensively they've got a great line, good skill position players, and Wentz took...

Yeah, it sucks that anything said about him has to be prefaced by 'If he stays healthy'. The guy is already a national treasure on twitter.

It's amazing to me how fast he's learning the game. He hardly passed the ball last year, now he's hitting cutters constantly and whipping no look passes out of the post to shooters. He's talented enough to be one of the best ever.

Deadhouse Landing came out yesterday, just an fyi for those who liked Dancer's Lament. I picked it up but haven't started it yet.

I don't see how Embiid stays healthy with the way he plays, he's just too reckless with his body. I hope I'm wrong, he's one of the most fun guys in the league to watch. As a Sixers fan I cringe every time he hits the floor. Simmons is the real deal, in person he's startlingly big. Against...

That sucks, Hayward seems like a good dude. Huge gamer too, he's big into League of Legends. Selfishly I was looking forward to seeing him play in person at the Sixers/Celts game on Friday.

He may have been talking about the third down play, I thought that was a touchdown (as an Eagles fan). I'd be pissed if I was a Giants fan.

Pederson and McAdoo having a contest on who's the shittier coach.

One could argue that Draymond tagging Lebron in the nuts decided the series, if you want to call that a play. Though I suppose you could also argue that his penchant for touching other men's genitals throughout the playoffs is what put him in the position to be suspended, so not one play...

Maybe I'm not understanding, but it sounds like you're just talking about a DMS. There are a lot of companies that have been doing this for a long time, both on-prem and hosted. Something like NetDocuments does this really well hosted & isn't all that expensive, and they've already done all...

Love the deal as a Sixers fan. #3 this year and either the Lakers 2018 or Kings 2019? I honestly thought it was going to be both of those picks when I heard they were in talks, and I probably would have been fine with it. A core of Fultz, Simmons, Saric, and Embiid is pretty damn exciting.

Also a Charles Tyrwhitt fan, good combination of quality and price if you wait for a 4 for $199 sale (which happen all the time).

I think his future salary if he signs for the max is $36m, so $24m difference from this year.

Not sure where I said anything about a non-call, I'm well aware they happen all the time (often for Lebron). However, I'm certainly not going to say Lebron got roasted on a play where he was playing good D up until Curry picked up his dribble into a pump fake. I realize it's the hip thing to...

It's less impressive when you see the other angle that shows him double dribbling partway through. Lebron is playing good D up until that point, and he rightly goes up for the block when Curry puts both hands on the ball.

NDA dropped. I've really been enjoying the betas, as someone who grew up with the first 3 Quakes and played an ungodly amount of Q1DM3 it feels very familiar. Netcode still needs some cleanup but I love the speed of the game.

I refused to play FPS on a console for a long time because I didn't like being bad. Friends + Destiny finally convinced me to learn to play with a controller, it didn't take long to get decent once I sat down and focused on it. I still prefer PC, obviously, but it's nice to have the option if...
