  1. One of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched … and own.
  2. Alabama has a "General Manager," though I don't think the role mirrors what an NFL GM would do....
  3. I don't think people are paying attention if you still think a college job is as attractive as a pro job, even the top college jobs, across multiple sports. There will be the outlier here and there who truly just loves college and all of that, but for many coaches, the last couple of years has tilted the meter firmly in the professional camp.
  4. this turn on offenses in college basketball just brought this clip to mind
  5. oops, didn't see this thread. everyone wins?
  6. the business of sports is crazy.
  7. Y'all are ridiculous. Who the hell thinks, in real time, "oh, I'll just take the dog bite" I've amputated limbs from dog bites alone.

    Israel

    The blind devotion the West has to Israel is the world’s worst case of a guilty conscience.
  9. Can't say I ever had a fear of bridges, but after reading this thread, and seeing so many confess to it, I'm wondering if I've just been blissfully naive.
  10. Cam Newton woulda never....
  11. Likewise. It's quite obvious this isn't a straightforward adaptation. In more than a few ways, Denis changes (or presents) the plot significantly. But overall it works for this medium. To me, it's two different takes on the same story. You can argue which one is superior, but I like both for what they are. With regards to Chalamet, my opinion is that he is possibly the best actor of his age group out there. Whoever expressed bemusement at his physicality is right, he shouldn't be able to carry roles that call for that sort of thing, but he does, and does it very well. I suppose that's part of the point of the profession. The contrast stands out more in The King, but even there he was fantastic. At least in Dune, he actually fits the frame of the character in the books, and the style of fighting is more about speed than brute strength, and I never caught myself thinking he was wrong for it.

    Shogun

    That was a masterclass on how you advance many characters in one episode.
  13. Aaron Donald is one of only two players to have made the ProBowl in every single year he played with a minimum of 10 seasons. wild stat. would have thought there would be more than that
  14. Kirk Cousins will have made more than double that. Must be nice to be a QB
  15. One source isn't anonymous. Go ahead. Sue a journalist for defamation and let's see what comes out.
  16. looks like crap
  17. took longer than I expected
  18. if he is serious, sue for defamation.
  19. I'll be playing myself in this. Please keep an eye out. Scene is brief but impactful.
  20. Butler is not the worst. The other guy is the worst. It's like he was handed the script for a fratboy, immature character. This isn't "inner turmoil," it's just douchebaggery.
  21. Palabra. Someone forgot the game was politics.
  22. yeah, that's wild. let's not make this series need two threads. just spoiler the link
