I love that Tom Brady gives uggs to team staff members. The jokes practically write themselves there. The eye rolling at those gifts had to be off the charts.

How old was the pilot anyway? It sure does sound like he left the cockpit for pee breaks a lot. Did he have some bad indian food the night before or something?

And then there's lazy unoriginal people like you and me.

100 pages, so that means it should take at least another 100 days to write the report, correct?

My wife and I went to a big event at a local jeweler to pick out our wedding rings. They had a bunch of wedding related giveaways and the top prize was $1000 off of your purchase. Only people who bought that day were entered. They said they would draw the winner the next day and let them know immediately. 2-3 months later they called to tell us we won. I've always been under the assumption that the actual winners broke up and had to cancel their purchase, because I can't think of any other reason why it took so long to find out.

I actually got an email a couple minutes ago from someone walking away. It was a very bitter email, talking about having a lot of family issues and HR/the company not offering enough assistance. It came out of left field for me as this person has been someone I've always found to be very helpful with things.

You sure as hell don't want to do the light flash at night. There's nothing like a good blinding to piss off another driver.

No doubt. Playing that kind of game on the road just isn't worth it. You have no idea who that person behind you is. I know I've done things along those lines, but I would have given up with that quickly with as all that camaro guy was doing.

Well that and the camaro guy was drunk

I did think it was funny that two of the guys you pointed out as examples of character issues were CHL guys.

See, that's how dedicated he is to the weight training aspect of his career. He's watching his calories with that light beer.

BU had to players accused of sexual assault in one season just a few years ago, both high draft picks. But let's continue to worry about a kid drinking a can of bud light.

I'm still trying to figure out why they had Hanifin and Strome at the lottery... or even McDavid. They were probably bored out of their minds.

Eichel lives within a small community at BU where everyone knows who he is. McDavid is allowed to fly under the radar as I assume just about no one in Erie has any clue who he is. That's going to have a lot to do with that perception. It's possible that McDavid is in fact the angel that he is perceived as, but I highly doubt it. These are 18 year old kids and they've all got their own kind of craziness happening at some point. This view of Eichel seems a bit crazy to me since it is based completely off of one single video which was posted online. Everything you ever see out there that comes from the coaches and people surrounding Eichel talks about how hard he has worked to get to where he is. Accelerating his education while playing with the US developmental program should be another sign of his ethic. To try to bury that because a teenager drank a can of beer seems disingenuous to me.

This stuff has always existed in sports. For whatever reason, it only became a popular buzz word in recent years. The leagues can go through as many crazy proposed changes as they want, but this will never go away.

He's not going to fall down to the ECHL. My guess is that by year two he's the guy making constant drives back and forth on the thruway.

I personally would like to see more board game movies. I can't wait to see what they do with Connect 4. And yes, I realize that the first movie based on a board game was awesome.

That just shows you how long it has been since I watched that movie. They killed Newman but not that guy? Stupid Steven Spielberg!

I'm pretty sure that the truck following Chris Pratt towards the end of the clip was Optimus Prime. So you still at least have a shot at dinosaur-transformer hybrids (oh wait, they did that already). I'm not sure what to think of this movie. One of my only takeaways from this trailer is that I can't wait to see Wong from Law and Order SVU get eaten by a dinosaur. I hate that guy.

That's typically what they do with these first teaser trailers. They'll reveal a lot more whenever the next one roles out. I didn't notice it at first until Mark mentioned it above, but Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) is in fact one of the voice overs. They're keeping that role in their back pocket for now, but I bet he'll show up heavily when the first full trailer comes out.

I'm not convinced that's Batman talking at the end. It doesn't feel like the kind of thing he would say. But anyway, you commented on the suit, Mark. That's taken directly from the Dark Knight Returns comic book/graphic novel/whatever they call them now. That paired with kryptonite is the only way he can put up a good fight. I wonder how they'll go about introducing kryptonite since they absolutely have to have that in this movie for anyone to put up any kind of fight.

Just wait until the next movie where Ford will be in a full body cast (not carbonite).

If the soccer ball droid doesn't get kicked at some point, I will be very upset.

Best of luck to you Rick.

You certainly listen, but I can't imagine an offer like that ever coming.
