Dune. I got it for Dune. I literally subscribed the day they made the announcement they would be carrying WB's first run movies. Hope enough other people did likewise so that offer studios follow in WB's footsteps.

Didn't exactly quit after season 5. Just couldn't justify the HBO expense at the time. But last year was a pretty good year sales-wise. So I got HBO money

Glad I'm not the only one! He was poised to be a career starter. From the looks of it, he went back to Iowa and is involved in farming and local football. I'll throw out one. I always wondered what happened to Kealoha Pilares.

This was my pick. My Madden players were always #37 in his honor. He was a guy who got thrust into the spot light and worked his ass off. Good special teamer as well. Looked him up due to this thread. Apparently he's a realtor now. https://www.buddyblake.com/agents/523/nick-goings/

I recently got HBO Max, and I started re-watching from the beginning. When I last had HBO was the end of Season 5, and I've managed to avoid spoilers about how the series ended thus far. But I understand that Season 8, and the way the show ended got a pretty poor reception from the fans. So I'd like to ask this of the freefolk who have watched all the way to the end: Is it as bad as they say it is? Was this a "The Last Jedi" kind of thing, where it was loved by some, hated by others, but a very toxic and vocal minority makes it seem like it's a flaming shitwreck. Or is it actually a full-on dumpster fire? Is it worth watching all the way to the end? I'm so enjoying re-watching the early seasons. Damn I forgot how good that show was! So is it worth getting re-invested again, and getting my hopes up, only to be disappointed? Will it ruin the entire show for me if I see the end? Or is it worth soldiering through just so I get closure by seeing the series finale? If it IS that bad and watching to the end WILL ruin the show for me forever, where should I stop? Thanks!

One of the most badass military sci-fi films I've ever seen. Being released in installments every few months on YouTube, and I hope bringing it to the attention of a new audience here. It's basically the passion project of one guy, and the quality of the animation and action is just amazing. Mainly sharing for @Harbingers because if you're waiting for a Warhammer 40k movie, this is about the best we could ever hope for. I'll also tag @PhillyB here, because there's some amazing shot composition, visual storytelling and editing here that any filmmaker could benefit from seeing.

I don't have any issue with bringing in Teddy this past off-season. He had a great track record, a good upside, and was proven to be a smart, reliable QB to serve as a placeholder and keep us competitive until the team found their next franchise QB. I'll go to my grave never understanding why we paid him that much money.

Very happy to hear it! He's a quality guy, and no one deserves cancer. Beyond sports, just on a human level, I'm so happy to hear that he's beaten it.

GUiSe! OP is ottally righ! Onse we know were not going to be in the palyoffs, we should just fourfeet ever game. y play to win? Its rly not smrat. In fact after we loose the first game, we should loose all tha games! Well be first pick evey yeer! Big vbrain time!!!

Who's going to protect a first round franchise QB? You put a QB behind this line, odds are he's gonna be shelled into becoming David Carr 2.0. I'm not opposed to getting a QB in the first round, or even with the 8th pick. But we've got so many glaring needs, that I wouldn't be burning my jersies if we didn't. Yeah, tanking worked so well for Doug Pederson. It's stupid. Unsportsmanlike. And if you want the team to lose so badly, you go out there and tell 50 juiced up, hyper-competitive 230lb+ alpha males to swallow their pride and intentionally play beneath their abilities so maybe the team can get a slightly higher draft pick. The players don't care. They want to win. For some, their play will determine if they got a job next year. For others, it's the last pro game they'll ever play. They ain't about to tank for poo.

Tampa Bay.

Parsons. We have been spoiled with nearly two unbroken decades of exemplary MLB play. And we saw how much we suffer without that leadership this year. We need a new defensive field general. As important as the secondary is, a good linebacking corps can take a lot of stress off your defensive backs.

How you just gonna take a mannequin from Oshkosh B'gosh and put it in a multi-million dollar movie?

Someone had to do it. Although honestly, with mild dyslexia, this is what I see every time I see the Washington Football Team acronym.

Ah. Thank you!

Peyton, at this point, is just every dad. I don't know how they ever get him to wear a jacket. He should be in white New Balance shoes with a a can of light beer in each cargo pocket in his shorts.

Buffalo video? That's an alarmingly vague title, and I'm not sure I want to know more. [Who's on top?]

Real life isn't supposed to be this predictable.

I'd be super stoked to get him and am glad we're in the mix. The 5:20 mark of this video sold me on Deshaun for good: Smart QB with all the talent in the world. Just needs a better team around him.

One of my all time favorite sports movies, even though there's almost no sports in the entire film. But man, do those scenes with the daughter draaaaaaaag. I've re-watched it about 3 times and forward through those parts every time, and it's about a half hour shorter, which is perfect.

I hated it at first. But once you develop a taste, it's really hard to go back. If you're looking for a gateway Scotch; I think most people go for the "Mac' 12." The Macallan. Very approachable for your Irish Whiskey or Bourbon drinker. But my personal recommendation is to order a glass of the Compass Peat Monster or Ardbeg 10 next time you're at the bar, and see if you like the smokiness.

I love lists, so I'm in! Will have to bend the rules a little bit, in that I'm going to do a Scotch list. I like Bourbon, but I only have one bottle currently (Blanton's). Daily drinker- Dewar's. It's in the crystal decanter in my home office, because if you're not going to see the label anyway, it might as well just be your daily in your classiest serving vessel. Impress your guests- Kilchomen Machir Bay. If you can't appreciate the peat, beat your feet. Cheap mixer (and for guests you know won’t appreciate it) - Glenfiddich 12. Which is a lie. It's just my low-end "quality" scotch. The real answer is Seagram's Whiskey, because I'd never sully a scotch by mixing it. Something great- your Friday night bourbon - Auchentoshan 12. Not super special. I'd usually say Balvenie Caribbean Cask, or Auchentoshan Three Wood, but I'm plum out. The saving for a special occasion bottle - I have a bottle of Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 that I bought as a gift, but kept for personal reasons. I don't know when I'll ever open it. I'll need a big promotion or close a monster deal.

How long ago did you start expressing symptoms? The test has a 40% false negative rate if you get it the first day you start seeing symptoms. I got it in early July (or at least I'm pretty sure I did); muscle aches, chills so bad I couldn't stop shaking, and then when my fever broke I slept for 20 hours straight. But I got tested the morning after I started feeling chills, and I came back negative. Point being, if you got it soon after you started seeing symptoms, be cautious even if it comes back negative.
