    Nathaniel Hackett might be the dumbest coach in the NFL right now and Broncos fans are realizing it right now.   I mean I get the Russell Wilson is overrated but man they are making him like a scrub in this offense. 

    Mile High was just shitting on the Broncos that first half.

    POLL 9/10-9/16/2022- WHAT WAS THE BEST FREE TV MATCH OF THE WEEK? It's quite a bit.

    Gable loses constantly and it doesn't matter. He's over as fuck and is having banger after banger. He's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. "SHOOSH! Shoosh please." is the best entrance music intro. He went through a LOT of bullshit over the years to come out in the end as an integral part of the TV every week.

    Oh I do. The best Trek might go a bit far considering it is mostly spoofing Star Trek (and if you have not seen A LOT of Trek you probably don't get many jokes) but three seasons in and so far no bad or even boring episodes.

    I just love it. It's one of the only tv shows that makes me literally laugh out loud. And it's got so much heart. Sure, it helps that I get nearly every reference and joke, but it's also more than a spoof. It's Star Trek at its core. I care about the characters.

    When Sami got punched by Paul and all the Bloodline were mad except Jay, who laughed? That's some first class character work for a storyline that's being done amazingly so far. 
     

    Also, it's super cool of HHH to make the main event of a show I won't watch, a match that I don't care about. No temptation to break my hypocritical " Too much for me!" stance. 
    Also, I watch shows with my friends. I watched the first Saudi show because my pal Chris wanted to, just to hang out. Four hours later, after me drunkenly screaming at the TV the whole time? It was agreed we'll be skipping those shows.

    The Sami/ Bloodline story so far has been the best long term, slow burn, story WWE has done in forever and it's still just maybe halfway through it? I think endgame is Sami and KO taking out the Bloodline in some way , probably winning the tag belts, but I can't predict how it'll get there. And I'm normally pretty good at figuring out WWE logic.

    Try to send the fans home happy and give a moment between Tyson Fury and Drew McIntyre I suppose. It only adds to how WWE Lex Luger'ed Drew McIntyre.

    Right, but why air it? That was a "cameras off for the live crowd " bit. Shit WWE released a DVD set of " Post RAW Bits"  ten years ago.  That sing along shit should have been for the live crowd only.

    AEW right now feels to me like 91-92 WCW but successful. The TV and stories are haphazard but so many of the matches kick ass.

    And that's  my favorite era of WCW.

    Rampage just needed PN News tonight.

    I'm watching now. That Punk/ Steel segment stunk. Punk is definitely turning heel sooner or later, but I thought there was no way they'd do it in Chicago. Now I think they will. Mox had to pull the boos out of the crowd during the open and the end of the Punk horseshit screaming about "Chicago!" is a red flag.

    Still funny.

    The best part is that Reigns DOES break character with Sami. Sami's his pal who he can talk shit about Jay with. It's no surprise that Roman and the Usos are loving this to the point of breaking cause Sami is fucking awesome.

    I have started rewatching Voyager for the first time in more than 20 years. When it originally aired, I quit somewhere during season 4 (apart from two or three single episodes) and I did not rewatch anything since then. Also, this is the first time I am watching it non-dubbed (the voice of Kate Mulgrew takes some time to get used to). In case someone is interested, here my thoughts on the first two seasons, where I agree with younger me and what I see different now / did not realize back then:

    • The writers and showrunners completely ignore the whole premise of the series. For example, Voyager should be flying straight to the alpha quadrant. But even after two years, they still have no problem reaching Maje Culluh and his crew with a short flight. Similarly, there is always a Talaxian ship around, when they need it. In the same vein, there are people killed left and right on the ship without it having any effect on the crew. A list I found after a quick Google search lists 12 casualties between the pilot and the end of the two parter at the end of season 2 / start of season 3.
    • The relationship between Neelix and Kes was weird when I was a teenager, now as a full grown adult, it's about the worst thing going on in the series. To make it even worse, making the Ocampa short lived and and Kes only 2(sic!)-years-old, they almost shout in your face "here is a man in his fourties having a relationship with a child". Thankfully, in season 2 (at least in the latter half) the relationship is not that much in focus.
    • Talking about Kes, Jennifer Lien was a pretty decent actress that had great comic timing. What a pity that Lien (allegedly) has personal problems and therefore was cut after season 3.
    • Besides the disgusting relationship, Neelix is actually not that annoying a character as I remember. Usually he only plays a supporting role at best, used for some throwaway lines and when he is given serious material (again, besides the Kes stuff), it actually works quite well (the Oppenheimer-inspired episode Jetrel, that focuses on Neelix, is one of my favorite episodes so far, for example).
    • They got some great actors for guest appearences, most notably Michael McKean and Joel Grey, both bringing performances that made episodes that might have failed badly with worse actors.
    • The concept of Tom Paris and what they actually did with it does not match at all. After the pilot, there is barely any scene (besides the gambit they ran to expose the traitor on the ship) that would make you believe that this is a guy who was kicked out of Starfleet, joined the Maquis as a mercenary and spent some time in a penal settlement.
    • Robert Picardo as the holodoc is as great as I remember it.

    They eventually do a Paris fucks up bad arc, that lasts like two eps. My favorite dead crew member was the serial killer who redeemed himself dying to get back the ship from Seska and the aliens with pine cones glued to their heads.
