Where the Heck Was Oliver All Day?

He was in the middle of every play and a force on the line. Which game did you watch? -
How not to protect your blue chip franchise QB
Max Fischer replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't mind Josh Allen run plays, it's what makes him so dangerous; same for Lamar Jackson, Randall Cunningham, etc. However, I believe Daboll deserves criticism for the calling the play that led to the second fumble. It was Josh's fault for fumbling but it was a dumb and unnecessary call at that point of the game.- 107 replies

Love that movie, I think it's incredibly well done and clever. To me, it makes sense but I can see why some wouldn't like it.

Oh, wow, I remember that. Good post.

Fingers crossed. The book was so complex that even if you read the book I can imagine it would hard to follow in a two to three hour movie. A miniseries would be great but likely too expensive.

Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
Max Fischer replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
The character germinated from a NBC commercial but has had a few tweaks. Much less of a stereotypical midwest/southern coach. In some ways I think of Lasso as a cross between Ned Flanders and Sean McDermott. -

I haven't seen Ted Lasso on Apple TV discussed. It's my surprise show/movie of 2020. I put off watching because I assumed it would be a run-of-the-mill "fish out of water" show about an American college football coach hired to manage a English Premier League team. It has all the trappings of dumbed-down "Major League" but I was pleasantly wrong. Jason Sudakis is outstanding as a relentlessly optimistic and good-natured guy whose success is based on his ability to bring out the best in people. That sounds like a annoying CBS sitcom but the show has a great deal of depth, a terrific, well-drawn cast of characters and appears to embrace a somewhat predictable story to toss a few curve balls. I could not help but root for Ted Lasso and liked how they developed each character throughout the show. It's a "feel-good" show based on hope that does not get into hokum. Special shoutout to "Coach Beard" who could join Ted Lasso as an all-time character. Another Apple TV program is "Greyhound" with Tom Hanks, who also wrote it. I'm surprised this compact, tense story about WWII destroyers protecting a convoy hasn't received more attention. I think it's well-done, good visuals and tight storytelling. -
Is anyone else less invested in this season than normal?

It's weird you don't see the irony of asking for "balance" when that's exactly what the movement and players are asking for from our society. -

Of all the things to turn people off to their favorite sport is a movement that asks for equal treatment in society. The horror. -
The looting has been repeatedly condemned by those who support social justice. The raised fist folks were repeatedly condemned by those who support social justice. Police once again use excessive force - excuses and praise from the Right. "Militia" kills two people - excuses and praise from the Right. The Right's vilification of "social justice" is yet another threat to our liberal democratic system.

So far, I think Perry Mason is a solid miniseries. It has a good mystery, well-defined characters, good direction, excellent actors and a setting/cinematography that is character itself. One of the few miniseries where the story kicks up a notch half-way through and I'm only concerned there are too few episodes. Thought this would get more buzz and puzzled by the wishy-washy reviews.

Goodell Admits NFL Was Wrong Not to Listen
Max Fischer replied to K-9's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The NFL, like now the majority of Americans, are getting the right side of history. While it's possible some players (and fans) are *trying* to "disrespect" the flag, nearly all are using the moment to express their Constitutional right to free speech. And that speech means little if it doesn't have an audience and/or impact. To me, and a growing number of Americans, the flag symbolizes those unique Constitutional freedoms that so many have sacrificed to preserve. The protest illustrates the strength of our nation and we should all embrace it. To me, it would be a disturbing sign of weakness to "pull the plug" on the National Anthem and everything our Country stands for around the world. -
It’s the death of expertise. Dozens of the world’s foremost experts in the field have correctly predicted nearly every progression of the virus yet too many people believe they know better, just ‘cause . . . I’m at a loss why people do not embrace truth in favor of defending easily disprovable nonsense.
