May Movies: Doctor Strange, & Top Gun, kickoff big Summer Season
dpberr replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall
I feel Hollywood probably thinks audiences don't want to see a 51-year old woman in a bikini. They'd be wrong when it comes to her. -
May Movies: Doctor Strange, & Top Gun, kickoff big Summer Season
dpberr replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall
Top Gun + Christopher McQuarrie. Has he ever written a bad screenplay? Filled with great actors. Tom Cruise doesn't mail it in. Top Gun - the annoying political correctness. Can't wear the Taiwan flag on the jacket, cast "looks" correct. May make for a bland film so no one is offended. Likely no Jennifer Connelly in a bikini playing volleyball. -
Tom Brady will be Fox’s lead NFL analyst once he retires
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Too soon. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. -
Yes. IMO, the classical analog watch separates the adults from the children in the room. I cringe when I see a man pay attention to every outfit detail but the plastic watch on his wrist.

His biggest detractor was the one that stared back at him in the mirror every day.

Dropping the car in TN is a rouse. IMO they headed west then south. They will ultimately try to cross the border via tractor trailer. Maybe Brownsville. Guys in prison that long have connections on the outside.

She won't last very long. She'll quit. Based on what I've read about her, she's quiet and doesn't thirst for the limelight. Being the center of attention every day will exhaust her. IMO, the best press secretary in recent times was Tony Snow during the GWB years. Second place, Mike McCurry. Obama's were terrible. Trump's were god awful terrible because they were interested in sword fighting the press. Psaki was the continuation of the terrible.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
dpberr replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The truth is uglier - COVID is likely just the latest lab accident. SARS, MERS, 2009 flu outbreak, even the swine flu of 1976. All bugs with no known origin in nature - to this day. -
BREAKING: SCOTUS to overturn Roe?
dpberr replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Leaking a preliminary SCOTUS opinion is another piece of evidence that America is in a troubling decline. I didn't think someone working for the Court would do that. -
I voted other. Dareus is my vote because he delivered on his potential and decided on his own to turn it off and stop being a great player. The interesting thing about all these busts is that the red flags about these players were well documented, in different draft evaluations. It wasn't just one scout or commentator saying it, multiple people said it.

CNN+ to Shut Down After Only 1 Month, LOL
dpberr replied to T&C's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
CNN, in current iteration, is a money losing product nobody watches as it became a fever dream of Jeff Zucker's politics. The data shows that. I expect new ownership will make changes. I think streaming services are in for a long retreat due to 1) people cutting "easy" expenditures where they can and 2) people getting out of the house. -
April Movies: Fantastic Beasts, Morbius, Sonic the Hedgehog & Ambulance
dpberr replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall
The Contractor is a bland movie with great actors mailing it in while on vacation in Europe. The only streaming service produced action movie that's worth anything remains Extraction. I'd argue it's one of Chris Hemsworth's best films to date. -
Anyone have a Peloton, or have other recommendations?
dpberr replied to Virgil's topic in Off the Wall
I think any man over the age of 25 should have it checked every couple years. Male menopause is just as real as the female menopause. Low testosterone wrecks a man's shop, especially in helping keep a beer belly. -
Have you ever seen one of your teams go all the way?
dpberr replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Yes. Spurs fan since the mid-80s, pre-David Robinson, around the time I started watching the Bills. I've enjoyed being a Spurs fan through the decades. The early 90s where the Spurs were on the cusp was both exciting and frustrating to watch. Their first title in 1999 was the sweetest of the titles. I was a long time Pirates fan but divorced the team several years ago and haven't looked back. Bob Nutting is the worst owner in all of North American professional sports. I challenge you to find a cheaper, more petty owner than Mr. Nutting. -
Anyone have a Peloton, or have other recommendations?
dpberr replied to Virgil's topic in Off the Wall
I'm making three non-exercise equipment suggestions here, especially if you've felt you failed on a diet before: #1. If you have good to great health insurance, you may want to consider enrolling in your health system's weight management center. These centers are usually split into two - medical weight management and bariatrics (surgical weight loss). Medical weight loss, coupled with guidance from a nutritionist and exercise may be the ticket to long term success, especially if you're in your 30s and up. Metabolism and genetics are cruel, unrelenting factors, and eating habits and the urge to eat are very difficult to change. Food is much like alcohol - you can get addicted to it, and addiction is very hard to break, especially in times of stress and boredom. #2. Get your testosterone levels checked. If you are deficient or severely deficient in testosterone, you're not losing that belly fat. Testosterone therapy is expensive BUT it's quite beneficial. The majority of men are deficient in testosterone - you'll have the outliers, but for the majority of us, we're losing it slowly by our late 20s. #3. Sleep apnea is a big problem in overweight men. Fixing that, along with losing the weight, can help a lot. -
If LB Devin Lloyd is available at Pick 25......
dpberr replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'd be very happy with Lloyd or Dean at #25. I like both the linebackers at this spot. Between the two IMO, Lloyd is the better athlete with better size, Dean is the better football player, with more football IQ at this point in the games they've played. I'd pass on the trade. The linebacker unit needs an infusion of talented young players. -
Bruce Willis retiring from acting diagnosed with Aphasia
dpberr replied to TBBills's topic in Off the Wall
I'd argue it's the best of the Die Hard series and one of his (and John McTiernan's) best movies. I think it slightly edges out the first. The action is crisp and you're immersed into the NYC of the mid-1990s. It's loaded with fantastic actors. If they would have used what's known today as the "alternate ending", it would have been the top one by the country mile. -
TSW Mock Draft Buffalo Bills Poll - Who should the Bills take at 25?
dpberr replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
Nakobe Dean was my choice. Bona fide football player and tackling machine. I've read numerous comparisons to a Jessie Tuggle type of linebacker based on his size and play, and that'd be incredible to have. -
Bruce Willis retiring from acting diagnosed with Aphasia
dpberr replied to TBBills's topic in Off the Wall
I was stunned to read that today. I read where people were thinking something was up because he was doing so many straight to DVD films, but I thought he was just going the "hey, it's money" Steven Seagal/Nic Cage route. -
I read where they both participate in the "open" part of their relationship. Hers are just more visible because one of those hookups spoke to the press. My personal opinion is that he's in a committed relationship with another man/woman, and has been for some time - something along the lines of Whitney Houston's longtime female lover that no one outside her family knew about until she passed. I think the random hookup women would squeal to the press for their 15 minutes of fame. I don't think it's that unusual - the unusual part to me is how freely they seem to talk about it and draw attention to it.

Favorite and least favorite draft analysts
dpberr replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Mike Mayock benefited greatly from a talented research team that supported him when he was a draft analyst. Since that team didn't follow him to the Raiders, he was more or less exposed for the sports broadcaster he is. My favorite draft analyst is Bob McGinn. -
NFL Teams mandated to hire minority coach as offensive assistant
dpberr replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Covid ushered in a lot of mandate culture. .Gov and corporate America saw the majority of people want to be team players and will tolerate *a lot* before getting upset about it and doing something about it. The NFL is no different. In a different time, they wouldn't have dared telling owners and teams who they *will* hire. I can't imagine the NAACP of the past being cool whatsoever with the message not said aloud with such a directive. -
I am amused a man can physically assault another man and just sit back down in his seat as if nothing happened. No security, no ejection. No escort out to cool down. People got physically removed from school board meetings in this country because they raised their voices or didn't wear a mask.

That's quite a steep bill for one county to lift.

Speaking of writing rules and winning games, virtually everyone in these hearings are millionaires. Jackson's net worth = $23 million dollars. That's astonishing. It's a bougie club and we're all not in it. That ain't just a judge's salary. Brett Kavanaugh is living with us peasants in comparison. At the time of his hearing, his net worth was a "paltry" 1.2 million.
