If I had to guess, I’d say Sam will transfer to another team and will be dating Rebecca without the employer/employee conflict of interest, and Richmond will get its wealthy sponsor back.

I guess to me it would be so easy to show us Higgins’ growing anxiety: we know he gets hiccups when he’s in a compromised position, and the show even went through the ceremony here of having him reveal something compromising during the coaches meeting before the game. But he talked about the transfer window, not…

I think that Higgins will eventually step in and take everyone down a notch with some reality. He’s been the only one to really react and show understanding of the financial situation they are in, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out the running joke about his “office” was somehow related to the financial…

Soccer pitches being different sizes isn’t that unusual in sports; while the NFL, NBA, and NHL all mandate the dimensions in the rules, MLB fields are different sizes too. In fact, no two MLB outfields are alike!

Fair. In real life, they’d be getting a big parachute payment from the Premier League for the first year anyway.

But she already told them to take a hike, and it has had seemingly no impact on the bottom line?

The financial drama adds some stakes to the promotion battle - if Rebecca tells C. Oil to take a hike, they may really, really need that 200M pound promotion payment.

Okay, so we’re now at the point where I can speculate with y’all, unlike before where I always knew whether or not I was right about something (like when people were like “why are you so focused on Nate being a jerk, I don’t see it?”).

As someone who never played the original (thus has no nostalgia to satisfy), and who doesn’t think 2003 was the nadir of the SWverse (that dishonor goes to Rise of the Skywalker), I’m stoked to see what the remake has in store, simply because I want a modern console Star Wars RPG.

I’m expecting a lot of things to change to fit the new canon of the star wars universe.

This is a solid theory, and I’ll be happy if it comes back to it. I’m definitely in disagreement with Myles that the overarching football stakes are super-important, but having it come back to haunt a specific character relationship would justify it.

You say that you aren’t sure how the Rebecca/Sam storyline serves either character, but it seems to me like we’re building to a point where Rebecca has to choose between Sam and Cerithium Oil. The actor on the other end of the phone at CO is a known quantity given his work on Fleabag, so I’m certain he’ll appear…

I mean, aren’t the dummies the ones who most need it?

Are all Adam McKay projects gonna be satire-for-dummies from now on?

Given that the Colbert Report had many conservative fans, who honestly believed that it was simply funny and not a satire of their belief system, I’m guessing that they’ll watch this and eat their popcorn and miss the point entirely.

it may be the height of smugness but I don’t give a fuck any more. Let them whine and be offended by liberal smugness. I for one am tired of being told to be an adult while a petulant stupid child has its tantrum. I guarantee I’m more offended by the peacock levels of pride conservatives take in their ignorance AND in…

It was a wise commenter (I know not who) who said in response to one of Nathan Rabin’s articles that the older you get, the more you realise “All-Star Cast” is more a warning than a promise.

to get the snark out of the way:

On one hand, I know it’s the height of smugness to gather Hollywood’s A-list for (what I presume will be) a dunk-fest on American ignorance/paranoia/right-wing propaganda.

IMHO, the TV show is Bones with character names from Cary’s comic arcs slapped in to the series.
