    I'm calling it now, Raheem Morris won't last more than 2 years as the Falcons head coach. This is for several reasons: 1- He already has a failure on his record. Like it or not, he came into this job having proven he can't hack it has a HC and so is already in a hole. 2- Fontenot is a dead man...

    Dude played in the pistol most of the day because he can't drop back well enough. That's a bad sign.

    Sadly yes. I think he's let himself go some. He was a unicorn at Florida. He's visibly slower and less physical now. Some guys just don't want it enough (see Vic Beasley).

    Cousins doesn't look good. He's a ghost of the guy he was before the injury. After watching him today, I think it's a real possibility that he's done. Not everyone comes back from Achilles injuries. Also, Drake London was supposed to break out this year. 15 yards on two catches and three...

    GDT 08/30/24 Braves @ Phillies The End?

    I don't like this. If they win the division I want them cursed with that first round bye. See how hard it is going up against a hot team.

    Putting this in as a reminder that if you're ever having a bad day, just remember that Sauron was once almost killed by a dog.

    Yes, but most teams' starter isn't 36 and coming off a non-contact Achilles tear. It's not the effect of injury to Cousins that concerns me, it's the probability.

    Also QB health. Basically the entire season is riding on Cousin's ankle.

    Luke senses the good in his child murdering, planet destroying father and is willing to die for the chance of redeeming him. Luke senses a potential darkness in his nephew and tries to murder him. This latter Luke is critical to The Last Jedi's story but I've honestly never seen a worse job of...

    GDT 8/22/24: Braves vs Nationals - Soler Power's Back On

    I'm not incapable of admitting I was wrong and I thought Iglesias was done after last season. I was absolutely wrong. That dude is incredible.

    Same. Medlen was another. Hate their careers we're derailed by injuries.

    Phillies game 3

    Same. Nothing frustrates me more than a pitcher walking the world. He pounds the zone and goes right after guys. Love it.

    Iger would have just said get me a sequel trilogy on the way. There's no way he wouldn't have allowed time for the setting up of an overarching storyline. He bought Lucasfilm during Avengers phase 1 which was a highly successful set of movies with a central individual running the overarching...

    39 here. I think whether it's dead or not depends on who is the leading voice of Star Wars moving forward. Kathleen Kennedy is the force behind the majority of the direction of Star Wars since Disney took over. So many of her decisions have been unmitigated disasters. She allowed the sequel...

    GDT 8/21/24: Braves vs Phillies - Great Lineup Adjustment

    Sometimes you gotta think there's no way anyone as incompetent as this umpire could get picked to be at the top of his profession. Then you remember MLB picks them and might pick them for their willingness to play ball with MLBs desires more than their ability.

    Killing some characters is not the same as killing her darlings. In fact, I think killing the characters was a darling. I think she liked the idea of killing off a bunch of named characters so much she couldn't abandon it even though it became clear there wasn't enough time to really do it...

    The show was pretty terrible outside of Manny Jacinto. I think most of its problems stemmed from Headland not being able to kill her darlings. Headland has talked about how for a long time she obsessed about every piece of The Acolyte. I think that led to her over writing on it. She had too...

    Yeah. If not for Manny Jacinto the show would have been unwatchable.

    Braves vs the Phil Dont suck for my first game day thread!

    We lost Strider and Acuna early and are still contending. Where would the Phils be if they lost Harper and Wheeler basically all year?
