    Oher was barely 18 when he signed his life away.   Interesting coincidence they did this when he was just old enough to sign the documents.  That was sarcasm. 

     

    He was extremely gifted athletically and received multiple offers from big time universities to play football.  Not a huge stretch to predict he would be playing in the NFL someday. 
     

     

    How much money did they get from the NFL contract?

    Instead of setting an age limit, why don't we make all political candidates take an IQ test or something like the Wonderlic at the NFL combine, and then publish the results. If someone decides to vote for a brain-dead politician, it is their prerogative.

     

    First question: "What is a woman?"

     

     

  3. I expect both of these movies to drop +60% in the second weekend box office, maybe more.

     

    This was the hype weekend, with word-o-mouth landing on both as best seen on streaming services.

     

    Most say the BARBIE trailers were misleading, while OPPENHEIMER was too long.

    Do NOT attempt to minimize the importance of these fine ladies! 

     

    Played in a company golf tournament and the cart lady ran out of liquor; Only sodas left after the front 9. We drank the course dry after 2 hours.

    There are a wide variety of interests and tastes on shows....

     

    Moonknight was OK, to me maybe a bit below average.

    She-Hulk was certainly not award winning writing, but I enjoyed it...it was 'entertaining'.

    Falcon and Winter soldier isn't a favorite of many people, and got middling reviews, but I thought it was one of the best Disney,Marvel series I have ever seen.

    WandaVision?  I watched one episode, half of the 2nd and it felt so 'cheezy' to me I almost felt embarrassed to watch it. Awful in my opinion.

    Loki was good. Not great, but good.

    We've given up on the movies...I'm not sure if it was one of the Thor movies or a series of 2 or 3 that were actually bad in our opinions, we are pretty much done with any marvel movie up to this point.

     

    Wanda-vision starts out awful, gets interesting, then ends great. Really have to power thru the first 2 episodes, unfortunately you can't skip it because there is a payoff later.  Getting people to NOT turn it off early is difficult because it's so weird/confusing, but most like it once they understand what's happening.

     

    Falcon was boring. She-Hulk was trash from beginning to end, can't convince me otherwise.

     

    Guardians is a good ending to their Trilogy. It's a must-see if you're a fan of the previous two.

     

     

     

  6. Recommend only one movie to a friend/family member.

     

    Comparatively, one movie will make you feel like a moron, while the other will leave you feeling like a genius.

    I'm pretty sure I know which will make more money, by a wide margin. 

     

     

     

  7. Guardians 3 was the best of Marvel anything after Endgame.

    WandaVision is #2, but it took 3 episodes to get good, then they ruined it when Multiverse of Madness came out.

    Loki is #3, but it set off the "Multiverse" which audiences seem to be having problems accepting.

     

    The rest range from Okay (Moonknight) to horrible (she-hulk) and can be skipped altogether.

     

    Haven't watched Secret Invasion yet.

     

    The Marvels will probably lose money.

     

  8. What happens to a strike when there is no real impact to consumers?

     

    Are they willing to strike for a year (or two) waiting for the public to notice diminishing content?

    Remember, Covid also shut down all productions and no one really cared, and that is with everyone stuck at home.

     

     

  9. I used to play a lot, but now I suck. 

    70s then to 90s now.

     

    Can occasionally hit a 300yd+ drive still. Usually out of bounds.

    Embarrassing when I'm waiting for the group in front to get out of range, then hit a grass burner to the women's tees.

  10. The rest of world relied on Hollywood to make content in the past...

     

    Now Americans will rely on the rest of the world to make content.

     

    The success of shows like "Squid Game" should scare these strikers. There are viable studios all over the world now. How long will it take for the Billionaire studio producers to realize they don't need to listen to the Union? They can just take their money overseas.  Netflix already does...

     

    Maybe that's why we were getting "Woke" movies. They wanted the public to hate Hollywood so the move overseas to cheaper productions would go smoother.

  11. The average student loan debt is $28k. (bachelors) and $40k overall.

    The average car loan is $26k (used) and $40k (new).

    Looks pretty close...

     

    So why are students loans considered a national crisis that will ruin a person's life through crushing debt that they can never hope to repay, ...

     

    ...but a car loan can be paid off in 4 to 6 years, with new loans being taken again and again every decade?
