    Most interesting part to me was Mindfly body armor camera used by UFL officials.

    There are so many bad calls in NFL that this would allow NFL to train their over priced part time zebras to correctly make calls.

    I do like hearing the ref chatter during games. And you know what? There were few if any bad calls because they weren't afraid to reverse calls when needed 

    Yep, it's not hard to do this stuff. The NFL simply refuses.

    I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

    Shakir was absolutely blanketed, and the ball went right through Sauce’s hands.  Credit to Shakir for catching and housing it, but that’s a pick more often than a completion.  

    Not for Allen. His arm strength makes him the only QB in the NFL who can make that throw.

     

    And Shakir isn't "blanketed", Jersey is playing zone. Sauce does well to recognize it, but still can't get there in time.

    I read recently that AI has been writing game recaps for years. This is just the next logical step

    Yeah, I've noticed a lot of internet articles written by AI for a couple years now. Getting harder and harder to tell the difference.

     

    AI is becoming seamlessly integrated into our lives.

     

    If they rolled this out without telling anyone it's AI, people would just think it's a real recording.

    1917 was an original?  That was a great movie.

    There are tons. Every year. That's what I don't get. 

     

    I only named sci-fi movies.

    Annihilation was also an adaptation.

     

    And there are people out there who complain about the originality of Star Wars and Alien...those splintered off from the original Dune script. Hollywood couldn't get out of it's own way in order to make the original Dune. I guess creativity in Hollywood was really a problem in the 70s.............

    All of this is correct good post-  we should also recognize that the last 3 Super Bowl champs were lacking true outside matchup winners.  Some may say OBj with the rams- but he only played 24 snaps in the SB averaged 38 yards per game.
     

    Doesn’t seem like the problem keeps teams from winning the Super Bowl.  

    Depending on how this season plays out, if the Bills make the Super Bowl with Kincaid as their top receiver, I will officially say WRs are a dime a dozen, spend all your money on the lines and TEs.

    So easy, it was a movie from 10 years ago, 8 years ago, 6 years ago, and 5 years ago, along with a remake of an adaptation 
     

    Honestly how can anyone say this era of movies is bad? The Departed came out in 2006!

    .....and Everything Everywhere All At Once was 2 years ago. 

     

    Dune 2 was this year.

     

    I provided a super easy variety of original sci Fi movies spanning the last decade.

     

    You're welcome.

    Interstellar is 10 yrs old so you've named 6 films over a 10 year stretch. That's not what I would consider a good era of sci fi.

    My wife has Netflix, Prime, etc and scanning through them to find a good sci fi film is always a waste of my time.

    It's now to the point that I now only turn on my TV to watch football in the fall and college hoops in March.

    Obviously that's not all the movies, it's just super easy ones I could name right away. And it's certainly not representative of everyone's taste. It's so subjective. The point is that great original movies are extremely easy to come by. They come out every year.

    Look at the late '70s or early '80s. At least if you're into sci fi, it was a good time for original theme movies. 

     

    Had to stop right there. Interstellar? Arrival? Ad Astra? Annihilation? Dune (I had to include it even though it's a "remake" it's so far better than the original which barely even followed the books)? Everything Everywhere All At Once?

     

    These are just recent films off the top of my head. If you're truly a sci fi fan, I can't imagine complaining about this era of movies. 

     

    This is also an amazing time for horror fans.
