That was a pretty innocuous looking hit. Did it separate his shoulder somehow?

Honestly, are the conferences even necessary? The divisions all kinda have their own character and rivalries and drive the schedule-making but why not just 8 divisions in a 32 team NFL?

Kicker leaves 7 easy points on the field when all they needed was 1 more to shut the door.

Right. Some tragedies are so big that they've led to legendary broadcast moments, like Lennon's death. Other times it just sorta spoils your guacamole.

What a great time to bring up Beathard's murdered brother. Christ, this broadcast.

"There goes Lewis!"

It was probably the 4th or 5th worst game the Bills have played this season and it still took a miracle. They're not good.

That 2-point attempt was...something.

Is rubbing the belly seriously how linemen report in eligible?

It's still one of the better divisions overall but people were talking earlier like they had four SB contenders and I'm not even certain they have one.

What makes Kyler a tool? He seems kinda boring if anything.

Imagine being one of these pathetic teams with a non-Tyler Bass kicker.

Aside from the fact that it was a regular season game, it's probably the greatest Hail Mary of all time since for the most part those plays only succeed when the ball takes a lucky bounce. I honestly don't mind seeing it especially after we responded with 4 straight (so far) wins.

And even when he gets one he won't have two.

Yes. Hopkins will be a shoe-in hall of famer and Diggs has taken his first big step toward the same if he sticks with Allen.

Yeah, the lack of a contract doesn't matter. It doesn't present any "intrigue" because it's actually very simple in that if the Bills fumble resigning Josh they will have zero fans left nor any players who would ever willingly play here again.

A date with my sister?

http://dictionary.pokerzone.com/Freezeout We're both right. Two different definitions.

I got into the game after the online game died for us poor Americans. Isn't a freezeout just any tournament with no rebuys or add-ons regardless of pay structure though?

Best dude in the game. My favorites for playing style are probably Gus Hansen and Vanessa Selbst.

Love it. I can while away whole evenings watching Tony G videos.

That hand is actually played realistically in that Eric Bana is shoving specifically to look polarized (essentially a set, maaaybe 97, or bluffing with air) and Robert Duvall has a combo draw with 15 outs to what he assumes is the best hand since Bana is never making that play with big diamonds. That's a 30% chance of hitting and if the pot odds are any better than 2:1 it's a good call. Not sure how into the game you are but Barry Greenstein and Sammy Farha, two top 50 players of all time if not better, make a cameo here. The big problem with THAT scene is that Duvall is an acting legend compared to Bana and makes him look like a bad community theatre actor. That one is certainly awful too and in that scene Mike McD tells Knish that he didn't get unlucky against Teddy KGB but was outplayed, which is an awful take. Mike's only mistake was playing with his entire bankroll. I still say the Casino Royale scene is worse though because the entire narrative of that film franchise drives at the idea that Bond is an indomitable badass who's better than everyone at everything and at the pivotal moment of the whole film they just show him getting lucky.

Yep. I mean ultimately Le Chiffre's call with A6 is one he has to make (Bond is probably also shoving with 44, 66 and 88 on that board) but that he would smugly assume his hand is best when he's beaten not only by Bond's ridiculous hand but also A8 is unrealistic. My assumption is that the producers of that movie consulted with a poker expert and disregarded the better hand he scripted because like with most bad art they assume their audience is too dumb to understand a more nuanced scenario.

In my mind it's the worst poker scene ever put to film. It's just a massive 4 way cooler but you're supposed to takeaway that Bond somehow...outsmarted them all? The only mistake anybody really makes in that hand is that Bond doesn't fold 75ss pre flop from the small blind in what I assume was a raised pot. Like, why not show Bond making an insane hero call with A high to take down Le Chiffre or something? Edit: Also, just the notion that there's a massively high stakes tournament where ONLY the winner makes any money. Even for the best poker players in the world that's just lighting money on fire.
