  1. I first thought Heat and Sicario, but Black Hawk Down is up there for sure. Here's one just because it's been on cable recently:
  2. Their basketball rape coverups from a few years ago were definitely Baylor-level. Yet Altman still runs the show there.

    Yeah, I just try to ignore stuff like that and the fact Dom has an Alexa in her home, and she and Darlene stand there having a screaming argument right in front of it
  4. "The proposal also calls for removing carbon regulations in an effort to push businesses to innovate in a clean energy future." Now THAT's a republican proposal
  5. ^ He contractually gets to spend the month of July golfing in Scotland
  6. The national media seized on Urban being #46. Wonder if he had gone back to ESPN instead of Fox if they publish it that way. With a cryptic comment about "off the field issues."
  7. Ain't been roun' Termnal E since nigh-on and two
  8. ESPN Championship Drive, here on actual selection Sunday...Mark Sanchez seriously said - in his first comments on the show - that the real drama is who gets the 2 or 3 seed for home field advantage.
  9. I'm OK with UGA...for the moment. The refs kinda/sorta cost them a national championship a couple years ago but we don't hear about it ad nauseam. They took Notre Dame out of the picture for all of us this season. And tonight they went out in such a manner that no one will be arguing for a second SEC team.
  10. DFW has gotten way better even though it's mostly chains. Shake Shack, Wing Stop, the two Pappas, Salt Lick. Haven't been to Terminal B in a while but they had good sit-down options on both ends. PHL has also stepped it up, though I rarely eat there. Bud & Marilyn's is a great local place and they just opened a huge space at the front of Terminal C. There's also a Jim's Steaks in B, Geno's in B/C food court and Tony Luke's in F. So cheesesteaks are covered. Everything always seems packed in LAX, PHX and the two Chicago airports. Kansas City just says fuck it, let people starve.

    Finally caught up after literally years of trailing behind. Agree with Buzzrock's (and others) three points completely - Vela was distractingly cartoonish. Why'd he have this Hannibal-Clarise thing for getting inside Elliot's head? And the resolution is ultimately meaningless as he dies, the shrink leaves and Elliot goes back to his quest. Janice was awesome from her first scene to her last. Similar to the Vela point, the molestation angle was unnecessary and tacked on. Even during the cool scenes with the 8-year-old, it was hard to generate much empathy knowing he was going to go back after White Rose eventually. But all in all, it's been an interesting season and I'll miss the moodiness and music of the show.
  12. Brady pick 6 overturned by a legit holding call...but I really wonder when the ref reached for the flag, maybe when he saw the DB with nothing but end zone ahead of him
  13. Not enough people blaming the kicker for this loss And no one pointing out he leaked PAT to the right
  14. I'm stunned and impressed MSU coaches were sharp enough to take the penalty on the PAT, the refs would totally have just done it at the kickoff and we'd be in overtime. Usually college coaches are too panicked to catch that in the heat of the moment
  15. What an ending. Love the 2 Live Crew callback, not that the guy meant to mimic it. Worth the penalty IMO, kicker should still make that PAT
  16. Black Belt Eagle Scout free show at the Foundry Dallas on Saturday. I've recommended them before, very chill, great voice
  17. Uh, Trout being MVP isn't exactly like when the UNT QB is on Heisman watch list. Ask pitchers what they think in those "meaningless games"
  18. Also, I wonder if Herbstreit and/or ESPN will care to explain the 4-game suspension report they ran with last week
  19. NCAA / tOSU announce Young suspended again for Rutgers but reinstated for PSU What a lucky coincidence tOSU began this process just after Wisconsin and just before bye week and two games they are favored by 30+
  20. Does their stadium still have the bullpens down the foul line? That's perfect for Kapler, the relievers can get a couple extra warmup pitches when he tries to bring them in with no warning
  21. I liked what the Panthers did. When you have a player like McCaffrey, nothing wrong with being on the aggressive side of the go-for-2 chart (though they didn't use him on that play). The Eagles have a lot of decent run or pass plays to get 2's, and their defense is also pretty bad which makes it even more urgent to take the lead and get out of the stadium before OT. But I can see an offensively challenged team with a good defense (Bears e.g.) deciding to kick PATs and rely on the D to continue to set them up for conventional scores, even if that means OT is the best case.
  22. Thank you guys, great effort. I switched my pick off Indy last night, just wasn't feeling them with a brand new QB and Miami no longer in full tank mode. Still came down to Kyle Allen going 88 yards - needing 89 - in the snow at Lambeau. I've never come close to winning one of these deals before so this is sweet
  23. I suppose we could all three still lose...Dolphins lead Colts and Panthers just punched it in on GB 😮
