  1. A&C were also the most popular entertainers in the English speaking world during WWII, though the monster movies are the ones that kinda revived both their career and the monster franchise when both seemingly had ran their course.

    One, I don't think anyone should follow NCAA rules, break all of them.  Second, Reggie Bush is on the list of most exciting college football players ever.  If you don't think he's #1, I'm not going to argue with you, but if you're making a list and he's not in consideration for #1, you are dead ass wrong.  Taking his Heisman was bullshit then, now, and forever.  He's the exact type of player who the Heisman was made for.

     

    On one hand, I never thought he should've gotten that Heisman (also, though Bush was incredible, Young was not only better that year, but also, imo, more exciting.)

     

    But taking it away because somebody bought his mom a house or whatever was such incredibly stupid bullshit.

  3. It's obvious Harbaugh loves JJ, but he turned down the Denver Broncos flat multiple times over a year ago and then spent a year winning a national title and keeping half an eye on the Chargers both specifically because he wanted to coach Herbert and prove he was the guy that could fully unlock his potential.

    I'm more curious to see if he makes a stab on day two at Corum or Roman Wilson.

    I'm all for the riot when the Commanders draft J.J. McCarthy instead

    I know I'm partisan, but I honestly don't have a clue of anything Drake Maye actually does better than McCarthy except "be tall."

    I love sports more than almost anything but even I'm past the breaking point with literally 75% of the ads for televised sporting event being fucking gambling.

    I'm doubly salty about this as a former Online Poker Enjoyer who watched the DOJ treat that like it was akin to a cocaine smuggling ring just 15 years ago, but now that the NFL and the MLB get their own pies, oh hey it's a miracle gambling is good now. Fuck you.

    I am so unbelievably tired of the sports gambling ads. And incorporating lines and similar into the broadcasts.

    I mentioned this in the big indie thread but for those who don't check there as often, if you enjoyed Makabe vs Thatcher check out the latest Prestige show on the same streaming service for Makabe vs Sabre Jr. it's pretty fucking great too.

    Indeed it was.

    Zion's out for the playoffs. He'll definitely miss the last chance playin game, and  even if they win "will be evaluated in the coming WEEKS" (emphasis mine) for hamstring issue.

     

    And we're right back to "the human body just isn't meant to be that big and that explosive at the same time."

  8. As well as betting on multiple games through a proxy, including thrice betting against his own team (good news is he didn't play in those games.)

    It turns out the upside to legal sports betting is that people get to see "that's weird, that's the second time in three months that there were huge payouts on prop bet unders for some nobody on the Raptors. Huh, he left both those games early because of health reasons. That's weird."

  9. Apparently bet on multiple NBA games along with the parlay fuckery. He didn't play in any of the games he bet on, but he did bet on the Raptors to lose three different times.

    Per Wojo - Pistons GM Troy Weaver is keeping his job

    Pistons are looking for a new President of Basketball Operations to sit above Weaver though.

  11. This is what, the third DC stab at an Ultimate line? After All-Star and Earth One (fourth if you count the Nu52)

    The problem Marvel ran into was the whole "classic stories and characters without the weight of continuity" wears off after a few years when continuity starts to build up. (Though I personally was a pretty big fan of the late era Ultimate Universe 1.0 when it instead became the place that the writers could do anything. Kill Peter Parker and Wolverine for real, split the United States into chunks, etc etc. It didn't sell worth a damn.)

    Depending on creative teams/characters I'll at least give these a look though.

  12. I think I'm more partial to Makabe/Thatcher than the Dog Collar Match personally, but that's more stylistic preference than a comment on match quality. That was a top two matches for the ages, on top of a great card all the way down. 

    Been a long time since I bought wrestling on physical media but hell yes.

    It was one of those rare moments where I nearly hated the movie and thought it was the most base horseshit, but also thought Phoenix’s performance was really good.

    I highly doubt I’ll give the sequel the time of day.

    Oh I'm way the fuck more interested in the sequel. Jukebox musical sequel to a serious drama that wasn't a musical, with Lady Gaga the second lead? This has high trainwreck potential, but it also could end up being something special. Basically I can see it being a 1/5 or a 4.5/5 but I can't imagine it's gonna be a 2.5-3/5 like the first one was.

  14. However bad of a day you had today, Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry probably had a worse one.

    Trailing 5-4 in the 12th, he committed an error that resulted in three runs. 

    Then because his manager forgot that the pitching coach had already made a mound visit, and because it was the 12th inning of the first game of a double header, McKinstry wound up on the mound moments later. He proceeded to walk a batter and then serve up a three run homer. He basically was personally responsible for six runs allowed in the 12th.

    Detroit lost 11-5.

    It was thrown away for me with it's obvious Taxi Driver lifting except Travis Bickle inspired a bunch of people at the end.

    That's completely unfair. 

    It also had copious and obvious lifting from The King of Comedy.

    Wiki says he worked for a while at WB Animation, including on the GL cartoon. 

    Yeah there was a point where he said something about how he was leaving animation to return full time to comics, but I don't know that he's ever done interiors since then.
