  1. Every single person on this board is aware of that. You think maybe we could celebrate something good without you deciding to poo poo it almost immediately?
  2. Tremaine does a lot for what our Defense asks from him. I don't get the hate for him on this board. He is probably due 13-15M/yr and I don't think we'd be better off at the position without him. We aren't drafting high and I dunno that we are going to be able to replace him through the draft or FA without spending about what he's going to sign for anyway.
  3. I truly hope Tua doesn't play for his own health and safety. Confident we beat them regardless, but that poor kid has been thrown to the wolves this season and doesn't deserve to have long-term damage.
  4. Phins fans are amongst the worst. The only fans worse than phins fans are KC fans.
  5. Phins fans can't read, they're obviously just looking at pictures and guessing what we meant.
  6. Weird question about what he felt about the league wanting them to play this week.
  7. It was Muki, I would be willing to bet he just used the wrong word, he's not generally a negative person.
  8. Praise be. The persistent knot in my stomach just went away. Simply wonderful news.
  9. Marvel Phase 4 has generally been aimless and I'm kind of out on Marvel as a result. I'm a big Oscar Isaac fan and I just couldn't enjoy Moon Knight, it's just not my cup of tea. The Boys on amazon I had high hopes for but I think I'm too old now to "get it" since it's so over the top crude.
  10. Right, you're saying that was the main portion of people criticizing the show, I'm telling you it's not and offered some reasons why the show kind of stinks for tolkien nerds. The people who are complaining about race are not tolkien nerds, they are morons who like to whine about anything.
  11. I'm a Tolkien fan. The backlash you are referring to from people who actually read the books isn't the racial component, it comes from the fact that they completed changed the timelines of a well-established universe and just made up new events using the names of characters, which is something Tolkien was pretty severely opposed to. Tolkien went out of his way to establish a painstaking timeline for his universe, he took it very seriously as his life's work and was famous for doing things like rejecting the Beatles' attempt, at the height of their fame, to buy the movie rights for the books because he didn't want his work bastardized. The criticism is valid. The criticism about race is a small minority of just racist non-book fans that the showrunners have attempted to generalize as all of their detractors so as to avoid criticism by just calling everyone who doesn't like the show bigots. Pretty common tactic Hollywood uses to deal with critics. Long story short - Hobbits and wizards didn't exist during the timeline of the show and Galadriel was never a warrior who led armies, but a powerful magic user. Amazon did the same thing to the Wheel of Time, just arbitrarily changing huge things and mostly for the worse. As someone who read all 15 books of that series, it sucks to have something you invested time in and enjoy trampled on and just made crappy.
  12. It's her. She is a retired reporter, not a doctor and IMO incredibly misguided in posting some study with conditions completely unlike what happened to Hamlin.
  13. Understandable pov, sometimes people just need a way to express themselves while grieving.
  14. You're right. Forgot about that. Agreed, it may not be the best move, but I think everyone is just worried and upset right now. IMO it's best not to speculate on motives and choose to show a little grace, but I'm by no means criticizing you for having an opinion.
  15. Last time I saw an ambulance on the field was Kevin Everett, this is absolutely terrible. Just been praying for him for the last hour, simply awful.
  16. Kickoff is at 830 right? I'm staring at a screen that says coverage starts 10 mins before kickoff... It's 8:23
  17. Basham was a waste of a pick, he was supposed to be pro-ready with a relatively low ceiling / high floor. He has been a jag since being drafted.
  18. that should mean the visitors's sideline is at around 70 right?
