Shocking.

You started a thread bashing "many here on the board" for dissing Schefter when he left (while simultaneously spinning that into some sort of weird ESPN cheerleading thread -- are you on Mickey's payroll or something?). Then, not more than a few minutes later, you admit that you yourself were one of those people who bashed Schefter when he left. So by your logic, you take pleasure in once again arguing with YOURSELF. That's comedy, no matter how you slice it.

At least you're coming around to FINALLY admitting that whatever you think, on pretty much any subject, is "predictably false". This thread is HILARIOUS. Well done!

It got greenlight because Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford said yes. Stars determine (far more than the script, concept, director, producer) whether or not a film gets made. That and Wild Wild West was 10 years ago. All the studio execs that even remember that movie have long been fired and replaced by the next crop. Not that I'm cynical

At my last job, I learned WAY too much about lovely words like piquerism, enucleation, family annihilators ... fun stuff. They better catch this dude soon, cause he's going to keep escalating until he kills someone.

The Jags have enough fans to have a forum?

I think you missed the intended sarcasm. I say "think" because even I'm not really sure?

Zing!

Bottom line: The Bills have had the WORST LB corps in the NFL for the past few seasons. Without a doubt. Make all the excuses you want about Poz, but he was a part of that unit that was MISERABLE. If he wasn't a Penn state guy or if he didn't have a polish last name, NO ONE here would care to see his butt shipped out of town. His numbers, even despite the fact they were bloated, were STILL terrible. He wasn't a pass rusher, a run stopper or good in coverage. He was average to below average at pretty much every aspect of the game. He's slow. He's not a big hitter. He doesn't have a nose for the ball. And, despite his claims to "want to stay in Buffalo" he jumped ship faster than a Thai hooker in port. Fug him. Does it create a hole? Sure. But this team is NOT a playoff contender. No one with any shred of sanity believes they are. Poz was NOT the worst player on the defense. But he wasn't the best either. And considering how bad the Bills D was overall, the fact he WASN'T the best player on the field says all you need to know. So why pour more money into a player who has clearly shown he is AT BEST an average ILB? Everyone needs to take a breath and just ... chilllllllllll.

Isn't Poz a 2nd tier player? Oh right ... he's 3rd tier

Nice work, Fez! Forwarding it around.

Um ... less than they'd make by keeping the Dodgers afloat in the second largest market in the US and one of the largest Hispanic markets in the country? McCourt is a mess as an owner. But Los Angeles is a huge baseball town, MLB needs the Dodgers right where they are.

Kudos to D. Smith for getting the players pretty much everything they wanted. It's a victory not only for the players, but for the sport. He took a ton of grief from people in the media and here, but his job isn't to win a popularity contest. It is to protect his guys and he did just that. Kudos to the Owners as well for realizing they were pushing things too far in the name of greed and selfishness. They could have easily stopped negotiating until after the season started (thus weakening the players' position once they started to miss game checks) but instead of doing that, they righted the ship and got things back on track. They deserve credit for staving off a disaster for their sport. Bottom line though, it's just nice to have this thing behind us so we can get back to talking about what matters: the game.

It's not a fair comparison. Writing for TV and writing novels are two wildly different beasts. As a novelist you have final say over every element of your work. If you want to misspell every word, no one will stop you. In TV, there's no author. It's an endless team of people. At least 6 writers, usually closer to 10. Not to mention studio executives, network executives, actors, directors, production ... each with their own take, each with their own say. And as the writer, even as the show runner, you never have final say. Someone -- whether it be on the network side or studio side or even S&P, out ranks you.

Jason Bourne. Or ET.

Grassy-Ass!

What's the skinny with the feud between those two? I hadn't heard about it, my head has been buried.

Well ... I had to link this: -- worth watching if you need a laugh.

So ... In other words, Raimi declined. As did Tobey.

He declined when it was offered. As did Tobey.

Well, I did have a couple guys in lab coats following me around recently. But I thought I was just being paranoid from all the green.

I had to make several trips today between Santa Monica and the valley -- the freeways were wide open. People left town, more people will stay inside. Call me crazy but I think this weekend will be pretty free of traffic. I plan on braving it.

Ip Man is great! Be sure to check out the original (fists of fury).
