He is indeed referred to on the local sports-talk station as ‘Ant-Man’, though Tyler Bertuzzi would be my pick for ‘The Wasp’.  Dylan Larkin would be an as-yet unnamed Avenger; maybe Sam Wilson’s turn as Captain America?

The Rock is going to be there... now THAT’s something to watch. 

25 or so teams should get in on the bidding war for his services.

There is a certain logical through-line in the Ford approach to both making cars and owning a football team: the most money for the least effort. The company knew the transmissions were a problem, just saw that correcting the problem would be more expensive than dealing with the lawsuits so that’s what they did. It’s…

Emmitt Smith always seems to come up in these comparisons, and it’s really unfair to both players. Smith is a Hall of Fame level running back, with the toughness, durability, and rings to prove it. We can talk about hypotheticals all we want- what if Emmitt played with Detroit’s O-line? What if Barry didn’t play with…

KD probably has a stress fracture or severe high ankle sprain and that’s why he isn’t able to play. The team can’t tell anyone, not even their own players, because if it gets out they’d be destroyed for putting him at risk. I’m sure it’ll come out one way or another when the series is over and people will be like,…

Holy shit, Beavis is in control of an NFL franchise.  Of course his first words were ‘Fire! Fire!’

One thing I haven’t seen touched on elsewhere: it would be extremely foolhardy to expose the White Walkers in battle- the show has already established that when a WW is killed all of the wights it has turned also die. Winterfell is defended by people who have dragonglass and Valryian steel, and the defenders would…

I think the title is extremely literal- we’re going to get a confrontation between Luke and the Emperor, whether as Force ghosts or as incarnate beings. Don’t see a way to retcon Rey’s parentage, and even if she is a clone of Luke’s hand (pretty much the only way she could actually be a Skywalker), that would be the…

Astonishingly, I’m also on Bret’s side here, mainly because Samer’s approaches were so puerile. “You suck, give your money to x” I mean, come on, man! You’re intelligent, even if you do not respect the person you’re trolling, at least give a good account of yourself. Lead with the substantive nature of your criticism.

The only way it makes sense is if they plan to use Jesus as the assassin. It would fit in with his skillset but not his mentality.

Police officers get enough first aid training for him to know that his slash would not be fatal- but definitely enough to drop/incapacitate Negan.

It totally makes sense- in the throes of grief, Rick wants to kill every last one of the Saviors and that’s why he goes nuts in the bar. When he looks in the mirror after the killing it’s like he’s realizing that killing those guys didn’t help with the grief at all. A short time after he reads Coral’s letter and it…

Yep, and answered a question that had been on my mind for a while now- if people are a resource, why did Negan kill all the men of Oceanside? Now we know- Simon carried it out, and it was totally in character for him to have done so. Simon probably would have raped all the women too, but curiously no mention is made…

Given that Brady Hoke (you know, the guy who didn’t wear a headset because he wanted to focus on his players on the field) was the same coach who put Shane Morris in after he was obviously concussed, I’m surprised he didn’t play him every snap as punishment. God, what a tool. #ThisisMichiganferGodssakes…

Thanks, Rob, I could not understand what the intercuts between Leader Rick, Pensive Rick, and Close-up of Crying Rick were all about. The mind remained boggled. Also, there is no moral equivalency between Negan and Rick. That is all.

Tell Caillou over there to pipe the fuck down, we’re trying to enjoy the weekend.

The only thing Louis CK would ever do vis a vis ‘addressing’ the issue is to put out a blanket denial; otherwise he’d be exposing himself to prosecution. If the rumors are more than that, let one or more of the women affected go to the police and file a report.

Agreed. He’s expanded his repertoire (springboard stunner, etc.) and he has put over a lot of the up-and-coming talent lately (KO, AJ, Nakamura) in really good matches. He draws, sells merch, and seems to be a genuinely good guy. Plus, he and Miz roasted each other but good. He’s firmly off my hate list.

I HOPE McGregor goes after his history of violence against women next. He might yet bait Mayweather into dropping the game plan and just trying to kill CM. “I’m not a woman, Floyd, and I hit back- hard.”
