I tend to agree with you. I was mostly joking, although because this is the AVC, the author obviously reserves the right to focus on the "A" and/or the "V" rather than the games.

Right. Sorry if it seemed like I was being confrontational. That was the frustration of being a Lions fan talking. I'm just less annoyed about the holding call because missed holding calls happen. What transpired on the PI play simply doesn't happen.

I think the standard comeback here is that this is the AVC, not ESPN.com.

I'm sure there are enough case studies of real people in the annals of Psychology, or well-documented historical figures, or at least more fully developed fictional characters, that an instructor wouldn't have to build a course around thinly drawn sitcom characters out of necessity. Which leads me to believe that the…

Not sure re: doctors, but I have been asked to provide a transcript when applying for a job in the past. Regardless, the main point is that a fluff class like this SHOULDN'T allow someone to earn credit towards an advanced degree, or any degree for that matter. Like I said below, this might be a fun topic as an…

Agree. If a guy has had a moment to think and he's STILL running around, that's just plain selfish.

I don't think these are comparable scenarios. The kneel-down is a premeditated play. A fumble recovery happens in the heat of the moment and the player obviously doesn't expect to be in that situation at that moment, so it's more understandable he'll do something wrong. Especially a rookie in his first playoff…

Every PI is "debatable" because it's a subjective type of penalty. And if a flag is picked up on a judgment call, there had better be an ironclad, objective justification. The on-field audio that was released revealed that when Stafford asked for an explanation, the official stated something like "it was…

Yeah, except that, you know, he shouldn't have had to punt at that time.

I don't think it's about reducing them. That's just what they are. They're not real people. Everything they do and say is fabricated with the goal of getting laughs, as opposed to portraying a realistic, three-dimensional personality. Drop a reference once in a while, but a whole course? Come on.

Because it's a class about sitcom characters. Sitcom characters. In medical school. The sort of trifling topic the students could cover just as effectively at the bar after class or whatever.

You're right. It's actually more troubling to know a person could get one step closer to a doctorate by taking a course like this.

I love that someone is going to take this class, then complain five years later about their student loan obligations when they can't get a decent job.

I'll let it go this time.

How does one determine the gender of a production company?

I know! When will liberals finally get a chance to release some movies, right?

I agree overall, but I will take issue with the "mindless" part of your comment. The thing that has made these movies interesting is that they typically have some good acting/dialogue amidst the cartoonish violence.

Yes. That explosion marred what had otherwise been a consistently accurate depiction of violence up to that point in the franchise.
