I have enjoyed the shit out of this, almost as much as Mandalorian. The only reason I’m pro-fast pace is because Disney has predetermined there will only be 24 episodes. I hope they cram as much as they can into the 24. Almost every scene with Mon Mothma, Luthen, Andor, and Saw have been awesome. They could clips 50% off every seen with the nazi lady or the emo ex-IPA boy living on his mom’s couch and eating fruit loops in blue milk and still convey what they need to the audience.

The show already has some slow stretches, which do add some plot or suspense and you can’t be 100% pedal to the floor for all 45 minutes. I assumed the old lady’s death could have been emotional, but the value wasn’t worth the screen time it would take and could be accomplished by showing the body being hauled off and the droid being all emo.

Best of luck to Big Mac.

This. Oakland, Carolina, Detroit, and Seattle are in the top 10 and could all be looking QB. The Texans OL and WR are trash and none of the QBs are even close “sure things.” If they could get one of these teams to trade up to #1 to get their preferred QB, I’d gladly accept the additional draft capital. Detroit and Seattle both have two firsts this year. Hell GB or Indy could want to trade up and give you a shit load of extra picks. Houston needs to acquire as many first and second round picks as possible, stop drafting players with injury issues, and stay away from QBs with a decent chance of busting.

In various years this century, the best rated QBs were David Carr, Brady Quinn, Jamarcus Russell, Mark Sanchez, Dwayne Haskins, Blake Bortles, Mayfield/Sam Darnold, Malik Willis/Kenny Pickett, etc. If a QB has just as good chance of being below average as he does being great, why blow a top 3 pick on him? Reaching for QBs is how bad teams stay bad.

Every year NFL “experts” say the teams at the top of the draft that need or kinda need a QB must take whoever they have rated QB1, even if the top QB that year wouldn’t even be a first (or even second) round pick in other drafts. I really hope the Texans do not spend their own pick on a QB this year. Bryce Young is small, which by itself is forgivable to reasonable people, but despite being surrounded by first round talent at OL/WR/RB, he doesn’t put up play station stats, doesn’t always put up good points (could mostly be BoB’s fault), lost twice already (almost to Texas too). He may be good in the NFL, but I wouldn’t burn a top 3 pick to find out. Basically the same for Stroud, who throws to wide open first round WRs, almost never even looks at a second read, and refused to run with the ball until a couple weeks ago because all the draft experts were dogging him for it. He might be better than the last 5 or 10 Ohio State busts, but I wouldn’t gamble a top 3 pick to find out. The Kentucky QB fucking sucks. His stats have been dog shit, they struggle against mediocre teams and get their ass kicked by hood teams. I watched the second half of their game yesterday vs Vandy and he blew goat ass. Tennessee QB will be 26 next year and isn’t worth a first round pick anyway. If these guys slide and they can get Young or Stroud with the Browns pick, so be it. They need a bad ass stud with their top 3. Through half a season it looks like Caserio was wrong and the world was right about Sauce vs Stingley; and they should’ve drafted someone at #13 who contributes more than aggy guard has so far.

Please stop with Patterson talk. He’s older and fatter than ever (possibly sweatier too), and his replacement is undefeated in year 1. Maybe if it was 2010 or 2015. In about 3 weeks.

Sometimes physically talented QBs are also stupid and get told to throw to their first read or else throw it away, and they still can’t follow those instructions.

With aggy it’s always sawing something off…

Your urologist

Did he forego his NIL because he would be a below average freshman? College football is professional now. If you take the money, criticism is fair game. No more hiding behind “he’s a student athlete who bleeds orange and is only a freshman!” Plenty of freshmen QBs don’t suck ass every time they get popped in the mouth.

Somebody is going to have a turd taste in their mouth writing the $1m NIL check for this performance.

The Yankees have to have a GM named Cash-Man, unless they can find a guy named Astrosbitchman.

I have asked the question related to NFL coaches (e.g. Sean Payton), but if an executive resigns/retires, the team hires a replacement, then the coach wants to go work for another team, the previous team expects/demands compensation because the executive is “still under contract.” If that is true, wouldn’t the former team be forced to pay the executive if they just said “fuck y’all I’m back and unresign! Pay me under the terms of my contract I’m apparently still under!”?

I hope he does go to NYY or LA and eats up $35-40M of their salary for ‘23 and ‘24 while Father Time proves the Astros were right to spend their money elsewhere.

or use a dead guard’s body to break the fall and as a raft?

Hopefully they can like it for 7 days straight

And what if JV gets hurt or regresses to the average 40 year old, and then opts in to the remaining years at $35M+? I was on the fence about resigning Correa last year, probably leaning more towards signing him. I feel like I’m in the minority this time around for not wanting to resign Verlander for anything more than 1 year $30 or 2 years $50. I want Kate Upton to hang around as much as the next red blooded hetero Houstonian, but you pay for what you’ll get, not what they already gave you.

I’m going to miss Luthen after he gets gutted by an Inquisitor in S1 finale or S2 premiere. The ridiculousness would almost be justified by the lulz if they had Kino surrender and be sent to the bio-experimentation facility where he was morphed into Snoke (and Snoke’s subsequent clones).

They could just have this vampire guy play the younger version, who I just learned today is Skarsgard’s son IRL.

Poor Smeagol can never catch a break.
