I think the Academy will end up painting themselves into a corner with this new award. Since they've already said movies can be in both Best Picture and Popular Achievement. People are going to question why a movie is in one but not the other. And if Popluar Achievement just ends up being all the Action/Superhero movies. Then people should just start demanding the Oscars have a Best Comedy, Best Musical, Best Horror, ect categories.

Counter argument to for those upset about Rusev being on the preshow. With all those matches wouldnt you rather be on the preshow and get 10-15mins then on the main show and get 5-10?

So Refs missed a leading with the helmet flag in the Texans vs Chiefs game. Will be interesting to see how they handle it after the game.

I like the idea of Star Trek: West Wing with Picard as the Admiral of Star Fleet or something.

What makes me laugh my head off is the people twisting themselves into pretzels in trying to justified how Mayer's wife knew about this most recent incident but didn't tell her husband, while in the same breath talking about how there super close and talk about everything.

And what was with Brock ordering a stake medium well? We all know he eats his stake raw right off the side of the cow.

And the buy out from the Hawks was for 2.4m less then the contract. Guess what the vet minimum is? Yep 2.4m. So Melo isnt losing a dime in this whole deal.

Is there a good place to see full list of whos already in?

The Washington Valor has advanced to the Arena Bowl championship. With a record of 2-10 which has to be the worst record for a championship game ever
And you thought the BCS Playoff system was confusing as hell.
There's also only four teams in the league

So Melo is gonna get his 29 million or thereabouts. Am I remembering correctly that if he gets a new contract with a new team, the amount he gets from new team just deducts from his compensation from ATL? If Rockets pay him $10 mil ATL only has to pay him $19?mil, right? So, essentially, he’s not going to be paid extra by new team, so he might as well play for the minimum?
please only pay him the minimum.
That is correct which is why many buy out players can end up signing with teams in contention because they only need to pay the minimum without actually losing any money over all.

Lowe was saying that almost half the players in the league will be free agents next year, which is totally insane.
Sounds about right all the 2016 would have there early outs

I don't understand why they'd put this in the late Fall, but holy fuck that's stupid. Trying not to repeat what Oyaji just said, but fuck FIFA.
You dont understand why a World Cup in a dessert in summer is a bad idea?

I don't know if they need to spend two years. Some kids may be NBA ready and should be able to play. The key is giving kids the right kind of opportunity to play 30+ minutes a game with NBA level coaching and understanding what pro life is like for development.
I don't think that playing 10 minutes a night or sitting on the bench will develop an 18 year old as much as playing 30+ minutes a night in the G league. Long term the kid playing 30 minutes a night has a better chance of developing then the kid riding the bench.
Something like the AAA model for baseball is good long-term for the NBA.
The two years would only be if the player is doing the NCAA/G-League split.

If I understand correctly the actors/actress can choice were there nomination is put.

Hopefully, the G-league is ready by the time the draft rule changes so kids who are not ready right away can get the minutes and coaching they need.
Needs to be that or play hard ball with the NCAA and get them to treat G-league like the NCAA treats Minor League baseball. Let kids play for a collage team till there season ends then go to G-Leauge. But to do this they have to go for two years before being called up to NBA team

It wasn't just the names. I cant remember which quarter back it was but I want to say it was one of the Oklahoma ones during that stretch where they had three or four in a row that became big names. EA and the NCAA would argue that the players in the NCAA games be it football or basketball had ZERO relationship to players in the real world. Thats how they would get around likeness issues. Then EA f'ed up and put in the all time teams and that's where Ed O'Bannon steps in. But the story of the Quaterback blows it out of water. So the Quaterback plays a season as a back up, the guy in front of him moves on the pros so he becomes the starter. At the spring game he goes out in his normal gear. After the game the player and coaches talk and decide he will start wearing a visor and a call sheet. None of this is reported to the press or anyone. So NCAA Football comes out and he goes and buys a copy or one of his friends does and he goes to look at what his rating is as players are to do. And hes shocked not by his rating but by the fact that QB# whatever for Oklahoma who is you know his exact hight and weight blah blah...is also wearing a call sheet and visor. So how is it that the players in NCAA video games made by EA didn't really match real life players?

The finish for KO/Braun should be the finish from Vince/Austin at St. Valentine's Day Massacre with Braun throwing KO into the cage, the cage swings open, Owens drops to the floor. Braun continues to look like a monster, while Owens can boast about having beaten the monster.
And would be fine if they didn't just do something similar with Roman and Brock.

I'll say this. In the moment, those things can help, just because it takes your mind off of things and there is a sense of camaraderie. That is a great thing, but when the game is over these people have to go back to picking up the pieces of their lives. The narratives are out there, but I don't know how much of those narratives actually fit the reality. My mom worked for the Bush-Clinton Katrina fund for a while and went to New Orleans a few times in the years after Katrina. Trust me when I tell you that the Super Bowl was cool, but those people's problems were still there once the game was over. Their family members were dead or missing, their house was still destroyed, and the city was still being rebuilt.
A story I'd love to see covered is what has happened to people from New Orleans who were relocated. For the most part, I think it is one of the best "social programs" that we've ever done as a country. I've heard some anecdotal evidence that being relocated and allowed to temporarily live rent free and/or given employment took a lot of destitute people and put them in a position to turn their lives around. The poor people in and around New Orleans were some of the poorest people in the country. I'd like to see how those people fared once they were able to change environments and given an opportunity to live and work at a much lower cost than anyone else.
I think there are a few stories about high school kids that were part of those moved to Huston and by being in better schools were able to get sports scholarships and then to the pros but I could be wrong.

That makes some sense, even though I don't know how much these things actually help these situations. I'm a pretty big sports fan, but I've yet to find a sporting event that made me feel better for a massacre.
Well from the narratives that are out there. The Red Sox game after the marathon where Big Papa cursed and such was said to bring the spirits of the city up. Lots of people said seeing the Yanks and Mets get back to playing braught back a level of normalcy to NYC after 9/11. Some times its not so much about making things better but showing that we can move forward.

NFL PRESEASON 2018

Why do I have a feeling the NFLPA is going to want to speak the the Browns/NFL after its been reported they wouldn't take a player out of a preseason game who was tired. Couldn't this hamper the NFL in any pending penalties. Cant the PA say hes already been punished for the crime?
