I'm got a mere 1070 with an i5-4690 (22nm!) with DDR3(!) memory and I unsurprisingly can't even get close to capping my frame rate with my 1440/144 monitor or a 4K/60 TV on anything made after last console gen. I've been planning on swapping the entire thing for years but, as usual, the Next...

AFAIK, they still claim SoFi (with 70,000 seats) will be ready for the season. Given that the Chargers averaged merely 30K a game last year, with a lot of away team fans, 25% of 70K might literally be the right number.

It's weird, Jonathan Nolan is apparently the Satan-du-jour for his writing on Westworld, but virtually every problem with Interstellar the movie was due to Christopher Nolan deviating from Interstellar the script.

I believe Salaries are prorated, but bonuses (Signing, Roster, Workout, etc.) are not. Under the current rules, I think teams will have to adjust next year's salary cap to reflect any reduced income this year. The NFL and NFLPA could amend the contract to allow full pay, but some teams may not...

I was just wondering what happened to Freddie Williams. Mike commissioned custom artwork because he was that pissed at Picard.

notsureifserious.jpg, but that was TotalBiscuit, a different CynicalBrit.

Guys, if I wanted the proper analogy, would it be ME1 -> ME2 -> ME3 -> ME:A to Star Trek TNG -> Deep Space Nine -> Discovery -> Picard? ...or would you swap Discovery and Picard? Picard was the show that threw out everything from the previous material before it while serving as disappointing...

I honestly don't think the Patriots are taking a QB for anything more than a flyer tomorrow. Between Stidham, presumably Newton, and whatever roster cutdowns from other teams, I think Bill will just let it ride and see what happens. There's no explanation for the Packers not taking Wide...

Barnwell already has the numbers, its nearly $40mil cap hit if they traded Rodgers this year, and over $30mil next year, so yeah, he will only be used for emergencies / the annual Rodgers injuries for two of the cheap years. /switches to hard liquor

When the Packers drafted Rodgers, its because one of the universally considered two best QBs that year fell in their lap. It's difficult to describe Love as falling into their lap. Then again, _maybe_ the draft is as WR deep as we think? Maybe? /begins drinking heavily.

Given that they can't properly evaluate these people, I suppose its not shocking if we don't see people burning extra slots to trade up for crapshoots.

Bad teams have admitted they delay their pick as long as possible just so someone talks about their team on network tv

AFAIK (things are fluid right now!), Disney still has the next Star Wars film slotted into the Christmas 2022 spot. Obviously there's a High Republic pre-production team, but as I believe there's no director, real script, actors, etc. set yet, it'll either be rushed or delayed (or both).

Yeah, I'm doing my usual "Final WoW patch, so hop back on LOTRO" routine. My god does the early game need a Cataclysm. Cleared out Misty Mountains for completionism, and a single quest chain had me go back and forth to Rivendell four times. It's not as bad in this multi-monitor world, but still...

For that little a year (compared to projected 2022 caps), I ain't happy the Packers didn't keep him.

E3 has been dying for a while now, for reasons that have nothing to do with the ease of internet video. That said, Keanu popping out into the middle of your livestream doesn't have the same impact.

Oscar winner Taika Waititi sounds almost as weird as Oscar winner Bret McKenzie. Ryan Reynolds is probably putting together a Green Lantern clip package to commemorate this at this very moment.

#OscarsSoYellow

Having a bunch of comic book / genre ladies present an award to a female scored comic-book movie seems like giving it away ahead of time.

As someone who doesn't pay attention to this stuff anymore, the lack of any predecessor awards for Tarantino is a bad sign. While you could see a real wildcard Parasite or Joker sneak in as a result, I think it's way more likely 1917's Euro bloc will give it the base to win.

Reid hasn't (assistant) coached for my team in a generation but I am so happy he gets to win one on his own, given his enormous history of almost-total success. Not seeing any reason the 49ers won't be a contender for years, given the Rams appear to be solved, the Saints will lose Brees one of...

Can't have a playoff game without a officiating controversy! Also, fuck yeah Chiefs!

I _want_ to like the Tide ads, as the natural escalation to the David Harbour ads is to interject whatever actor into real ads. But Sam Elliot's mustache is the high point of this game so far, both on and off the field.

Just out of idle curiosity, has nothing to do with this game.... 1) What's the shortest SB? 2) Has a rookie ever won MVP?

Uhh, what's with the Kaepernick clone for the 49ers merch ad? Way to make it awkward.

You contain Davante Adams and Aaron Jones and the Packers have nothing left. Frankly, I couldn't believe we went through Free Agency and the draft without picking up any WRs, yet here we are again.

Not sure the Chiefs will survive if they spot the 49ers two+ scores, but come on Andy!

As mentioned, both Nvidia and AMD should have new families by then. The first three quarters of the year are looking pretty damn sparse, however.

I've said it before, but the collapse of the Weinstein promotion machine has made Oscar season weird. There aren't even any major issue movies this year - no gays, no slavery, and the 'Holocaust' movie is the one everyone is complaining doesn't belong! I would think true Cinephiles would...

Come on Green Bay! Win the crippleoff and the right to get curbstomped next week!

Packers have been way too inconsistent in the last couple seasons to consider this anywhere near settled. But whether either team, especially the Packers, has a chance against the 49ers next week is the question. Frankly, I think the Seahawks have the better chance, but I can hardly root...

Man that Chiefs / 49ers SB should be great.

What a half. I forgot how great the playoffs are when there are no clear juggernauts.

Conversely, will any team ever pay Mariota to touch a football again? "All my team did was pull me out of the lineup, then we turned into the 2007 Giants!"

They've admitted they've had sets of movies that were so blandly bad that they've tossed the episode, since they didn't even have amusing complaints. Frankly, they may just be running out of material to work with. Neil Breen only puts out a movie every couple of years, so they're limited to...

Motherclucker, I was just about to make that joke.

As mentioned, he shoulda dropped to the ground, then Patriots could never touch ball.

Alright, the Texans deserved to win it on that play.

At this rate the Great Lakes Avengers will be an animated show by 2024. That said, as much as I am predisposed to favor Kurt Russell's kid, him constantly trying to take over the title / shield because 'White people say Captain America can't be black!" would be the most tiresome plotline possible.

I don't know the answer myself, but I would think his contract runs through the end of the league year (March 18th, I believe), so he is technically under contract still until that point. Obviously, he would be 'relieved of his duties' prior to them signing the new guy if they decide on someone...
