  1. On another note, when do you think they are going to start paring down the roster? You wouldn't think they'd want the extra bodies around during game week prep, or maybe they would as covid insurance. I dunno. They don't have to cut anyone until September 5 but I think moves might start in dribs and drabs sooner than that.

    Hell no lots of great talent in this one. Jmo of course 

    And it's going to be a strange draft with little or no 2020 tape on guys.  That means valuations are going to be all over the place and there are likely going to many many more high pick misses and low pick steals.  For example, if Joe Burrow was drafted without his 2019 season there is no chance he's #1 overall pick.  He'd have gone several rounds lower.

     

    It's a gamble, but if you trust your talent evaluation staff getting a bunch of mid level picks in 2021 could be very fruitful.

    He missed two kicks inside 50 last year. I will donate $50 charity bet with the first to take me up that if Bass is the kicker in 2020 he misses more than that. 

    He missed 4 kicks under 50 yards when you count the extra points he missed. And kicking FGs over 50 yards is a necessary part of being a kicker in 2020, you can't just ignore that.

     

    Haushcka missed 8 kicks last year in total. 2 XPs, 2 FGs under 50, 4 FGs over 50. So if Bass comes in and misses 3 FGs under 50 no XP and makes more than the 1 50+ FG Haushcka made you want to consider that a win for yourself even though its a better actual performance.

     

    And not for nothing, if Bass is terrible you can always sign a different kicker....like Stephen Haushcka.

    What about a kicker who always hits under 50? Three misses under 50 in camp for the Bass. 

    Hauschka missed an XP today. Let's not pretend he has been automatic for the last two years.  Yes he kicked well in the playoff game.  He also kicked really poorly in a couple games that cost them.

    This is a worn-out complaint, especially with iconic comic-based movies. The comics themselves tell thousands of stories and include different versions of the same hero/villain. 

     

    Why should that be different with movies? 

     

    When it comes down to it, all movies are the same old stories told in a different way, under a different context, with different characters. Its just the passing on of ideas through different groups and generations of people.

     

    So don't expect super hero movies to go extinct any time soon and we can look forward to niche characters being thrown in here and there.

     

    They absolutely need to tell a good Silver Surfer/Galactus story on the big screen with awesome effects. The 2007 film was a bit disappointing.

    If you want to keep having these movies that's fine but they should at least build in each other in some sort of meaningful way not just reboot the whole thing every couple years after a bad movie came out or an actor got too old to do the part.

     

    Marvel did a nice job having a whole bunch of movies all connected together that all together told a story. DC has been terrible at that save a couple good individual movies here and there. They started to get on the right track with the Justice League thing even though it wasn't very good. Maybe it will turn out ok but the idea of trying to force all the previous Batman things together into a multiverse doesn't seem like it will go well. So now you'll have Wonder Woman who not only transcends time, she transcends time in multiple universes? Are Heath Ledger Joker and Jared Leto Joker in the same universe or different ones? And yes I know there are a million crossover comics and thousands of stories told in those comics but they all follow a fairly long arc. Doing this over and over again feels like a skipping record rather than following an actual arc from beginning to middle to end where the next Batman becomes Batman at the end of the previous Batman not back at the start again. Same thing with Superman. Stop starting over from the beginning and just follow a story arc.

    Time travel and parallel universes.  The original story actually runs with Thomas Wayne instead, which could have been different and fun.

    So the film that is supposed to unite all the Batman movies as coming from a common place rather than treating them as separate entities? Sort of the Rick and Morty of Batman movies where there is a multiverse of Batmen with some time travel thrown in(which is distinctly not Rick and Morty)? Hopefully not literal time travel so few movies handle that well.

     

    That doesn't feel like a good idea but we will see I guess.

     

    I hope they don't do that to the Spider Man movies but I guess they sort of did with the animated one. The earlier ones just need to be left alone to die. When Disney redoes XMen to be less of a debacle let's equally hope for a clean reboot.

    This is the relevant statistic. We can easily predict the number of deaths expected over a given time period within a pretty narrow range. When the only significant new factor is a novel coronavirus it's pretty easy to see that the death numbers from the virus are not being “made up” or accounting for other causes. 

    particularly that I'm going to guess that deaths from other causes such as vehicular accidents are significantly down this year.

    So we’re seeing a lab under scrutiny for returning a huge chunk of false-positives because the Multibillion dollar industry was (presumably) able to re-test or relay on additional information to say “wait, we really don’t think these guys are positive”

     

    Makes you wonder how many false positives are happening in the world at large that aren’t being caught. 

    Probably as many who end up not getting tested at all who are positive.

     

    One of my wife's employees lives in Florida and was turned away from 3 testing sites including one who told her "we've had too many positive tests today so we aren't doing any more."  She ended up hospitalized.

    Do people really not understand this?

    Not exactly. Splitting the FB out wide is designed to force the defense to tip it's hand, showing the QB which coverage it will be in for that play. In chess, it is sacrificing a pawn to get a shot at the queen.  

    Right, but you're not supposed to throw the ball to the pawn 60 yards downfield.

    This whole thing is weird.  But one of the big advantages Allen has is he’s in this offense for the 3rd year.  Why change things now?

     

    Daboll strikes me as a guy who wants to show how much football knowledge he has and makes everything way more complicated than it needs to be. 

    Because he knows BB spends his time breaking down offenses and their verbiage.
