  1. Which is precisely why you need Foster or Rice. By your second pick, quality RBs are going to be a scarce commodity, whereas only 2 or 3 QBs will be off the board. Think of it this way. Which one of these is the bigger dropoff? Aaron Rodgers to Tom Brady Arian Foster to Ahmad Bradshaw
  2. I have more faith in his ability to grasp the offense than I do in his ability to think on his feet and make good decisions at NFL speed.
  3. For those who end up with Foster, Arian Nation.
  4. Josh Reed. In all seriousness, I'd go with Foster. Injured often, but he'll win you games single handedly. I'm hoping to pick late in the 1st round so I can justify taking Freddie!
  5. Relevant... http://www.theonion.com/articles/would-you-care-to-join-me-for-an-unbelievably-awkw,10720/
  6. Love it. Mike plays it cool during the entire scene, but the minute he turns away from Hank to walk out the door, you get a glimpse of that "****!" look.
  7. Oh, sorry, I know about both of their careers but they were before my time.
  8. Well, people on this show are always doing alarming, distressing things Agreed on Mike though. Jonathan Banks might be my favorite actor on this show right now, but I can't wait for Cranston and Aaron Paul to go into Batman/Robin mode once again.
  9. Ted was under house arrest from a couple of Saul's thugs. When he tried to run away, he slipped on a rug and snapped his neck on a piece of furniture.
  10. Love Godzilla, but he'll need to purchase a ticket to the HoF like the rest of us.
  11. Absolutely. He's easily the most successful Japanese born player, and probably would've had 4,000 hits had he played his entire career in MLB.
  12. Agreed to some extent, but they don't beat the dead horse quite so much as some American shows. The 6 episodes per season system is something I admire about British TV.
  13. I always say that we must have a bunch of perfect 10s on this board! Geeze, her legs aren't good enough for some of you??
  14. 4/5 was my rating. The number is meant to represent the movie's objective value in the realm of film, whereas the body of the text holds Nolan to his own standard of excellence. Because, let's be honest, TDKR blows most summer blockbusters out of the water. And yet I think it might be Nolan's worst effort. And thanks!
  15. One plot hole that bears mentioning: After Bruce Wayne escapes the prison hole, he just shows back up in Gotham. How did he get there? Every bridge and tunnel is closed down, and there are obviously no aircraft coming in or out. I realize there's suspension of disbelief, but this represents more of a logical break.
  16. My review for The Dark Knight Rises...Spoilers included. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/the-dark-knight-rises-review-reviewsday-tuesday/2579
  17. This a textbook example of how not to communicate. You're cutting yourself off at the knees when you hedge your bets with "I understand if you don't want to talk." Additionally, if she's hot she knows it. You don't gain any points by telling her so. You can benefit yourself by making a point of not bringing it up.
  18. Good points. If you notice, the only characters still using the term Heisenberg are the DEA. To Walt and his inner circle, there's no point in making the distinction.
  19. I'm going to disagree slightly. I'd say that right now is the height of his Heisenberg attitude. He thinks he's a winner and nothing can stop him. In the opening clip, he seems nervous. His speech and actions are stilted. Then again, Heisenberg trapped in a corner is even more dangerous than cocky Heisenberg.
  20. Thanks for the intel I think that the gun undoubtedly gets used, no point introducing a toy of that magnitude without a payoff. Big questions are, who is it used against? And what happens to make Walt feel he needs that level of protection?
  21. Happy birthday mill! Just for today, Go Blue Jays!
  22. My thoughts on last night's episode. Spoilers throughout... http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/breaking-bad-review-episode-5-02-madrigal/2559
  23. I like that take. The first season, the pilot in particular, illustrates that Walt begins with his family as the primary motivation. But the official turning point, to me, is when he blows up Tuco's office. Looking back, you can trace Walt's addiction to power and influence back to when he's celebrating in the Aztec with his hat on. Getting into the philosophy of the show, I think Gilligan's point might be that the concept of inherent badness is just a comforting lie that we tell ourselves. Every person is capable of "breaking bad". How many characters on the show haven't resorted to their dark side under pressure? Pretty much just Hank and Walt Jr. And even Hank mistreated Marie emotionally when he was paralyzed. The worst thing that Skyler could have done was to verbalize that she fears Walt. Up until now, she had the upper hand because she could dangle their relationship like a carrot.
