    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I don't recall Tony needing his legs to fly around much in the suit, much less that that portion couldn't be controlled otherwise. That said, Rhodey's crippling in Cap 3 always bugged me. Cheadle doesn't have enough screen time in these movies for any impact to matter, and its not like Marvel...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Doesn't the trailer rule out Heimdall as Soul Gem? Thanos would have picked up that gem as well when he wrecks Thor's ship, right? And yet I don't like Wakanda as the source either. Sure, it would explain why Wakanda was so far along - even a couple geniuses with infinite "lifespans" could get...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    One of the longer stories suggested Eli knew it was coming and the Giants offered to have him keep starting the first halves for the streak, but he figured there was no point in keeping up the charade. It's weird to think that we're about due for the Eli/Rivers/Brees/Big Ben era to start...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've been on the "Don't count on Eli being there next year" train longer than anyone, but in the middle of the season, to evaluate Geno Smith, and ruin his starts number? Other than the coach and GM fishing for some silver lining to keep their jobs, this makes no sense. Cue everyone and their...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I really can't wait for the Saints/Eagles playoff game. I only hope the winner can still put up a fight against the Patriots. What I can wait for? The absolute fucking beating the Steelers will lay on the Packers. I can't believe this didn't get flexed out, nationwide Packers / Steelers fans or...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    It's weird, after a wild start to the season, does anyone have any hope for any team in the AFC playoffs other than the Patriots, Chiefs, and Steelers? And even there, the Patriots have to be the prohibitive favorites, right? At least the NFC will have some surprise entries.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    As someone who doesn't really care about College Football but has caught most of the local (Wisconsin) games because of my crew, I can't tell you how much I would like this terrible team to be the only undefeated major name left, just to watch the rankings madness.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've never seen any hard numbers on it. It does only stand to reason that you have a higher chance of escalating an injury if you only have 4 days of rest vs. 7. Then again, the flipside is you have 10 days to rest after your TNF games vs. everyone else with only 7. In addition, the...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    The day Rodgers went down, I said Top 5 Draft Pick wasn't out of the question. And while the 49ers, Browns, & Giants aren't going to beat Rodgers' 4 wins, every other team could. Seriously, with the Lions unlikely to take Week 17 off, the only game the Packers _may_ be favored in is the Browns...

    Hey guys, did you know there was a football game on? Not sure the Packers do. Although us giving the Browns their only win of the season should properly display Rodgers' value.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Meh, I actually unsubbed yesterday after the reveal. Sure, I'll sub to play the new expansion for a month (and do Antorus on LFR at some point if I have to), but another leveling revamp (probably) and murdering / being murdered by the peoples I just spent an expansion saving isn't worth (the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wait, are they really going to redo the vanilla leveling again? Have Horde not step off Kalimdor and Alliance not step off Eastern Kingdoms? It was borderline a waste of time in Cataclysm, but now those zones are newer than multiple other expansions*. Is that seriously their schtick...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ugh, I hate the (regularly scheduled) PvP nonsense. "Monsters from another dimension want to kill us all? Let's beat each other up until they win!" Not to mention the absurdity of pretending we won't be fighting the same raids, regardless of what faction we're on. Speaking of which, is the...

    Err, to be clear, I didn't say it made logical sense. I just said it made football PR sense. A 2nd round pick for 8 games and negotiating rights (when the only real leverage is that you just guaranteed to pay him top 5 QB money next year), when all anyone talks about are newbie QBs, is tough to...

    You guys are, what, 0-8, and everyone was making the comments about how abandoned the stands were? At some point you have to pivot from "We're the Factory of Sadness West" to "Yeah, we're terrible, but here's our plan to get better - starting with one of the few best QBs not locked up for years...

    Super Mario Odyssey

    Let me preface this by saying I loooved Galaxy (I 242 starred it, or whatever the max was), and like most guys our age, 120 starred World a couple times when I was a kid. I think Odyssey is great - but it's not better than World or Galaxy (so far). Upsides: This is the Adult Swim of Mario...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I had to open my fucking mouth about the NFC wildcard race being crowded. Well, we can scratch the Bucs out, and the Packers will likely draft in the Top 10 - hell, I'm not sure ~5 is out of the question with the O-line we had by the end of the game

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Gonna be honest, between Division loser of Packers / Lions, Falcons / Panthers, Seahawks / Rams, & the Cowboys, the NFC wildcard race is already getting heated. Edit: And it's not like the Bucs or Redskins couldn't still get in there either.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    The amount of misdirection in that trailer is hard to wade through. (Kylo kills his mom! - except we know Leia was supposed to be major in 9, so unless they redid the ending of that scene and no one's behavior was altered as a result for the rest of the movie, that's not the case.) The one...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Obviously, I'm happy the Packers won the cripple-off, but for the non-GB fans, you have to agree with Phazael & I - GB is wasting peak Rodgers hoping the dice come up with healthy O-Line AND the dice come up with lucky CB drafting while sitting on cap space each and every year...

    It's been said, but... Why are there two college teams I've never seen playing on the NFL Network right now?

    I've been saying Eli sucks for years, and I've been saying he'd still be the Giants QB for years - he would still have had a $32 million cap hit if they got rid of him this year. But that was future tense. He only has a $12.4 Mil dead money cap hit next season, and a mere $6.2 Mil dead money...

    Doesn't Reid have some crazy win percentage after a bye? Not sure why that wouldn't apply to season openers too. Otherwise, Pats still have no pass rush and little depth outside of corner. Brady looking rattled ain't a good sign though.. That said, no one is better at maximizing their roster...

    You mean a team isn't close to throwing out one of the pillars of the newest CBA, approved by the players (since it put more money into the hands of veterans from newbies), and enraging the rest of the owners, for just one player, as good as he may be?

    "Preseason doesn't matter, but I'm not watching anything else, let's see what the new guys look like." One quarter in, and even with the starters on defense, a CB is injured and the Eagles scored on a play with multiple failed tackles. Why is GB a darling? I realize two AFC teams won't play in...
