“(R)efs are people too.”

“(T)heed second violations get called way too often.”

“(M)ore than 10 years ago.”

Bradley is in no way their best player, and nobody named Olyzek exists.

No, you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Archetypes are along the lines of such things as: child of unknown origin/parentage ends up being the chosen one; chosen one saves native polulation; children complete father’s unfulfilled destiny; mysterious oracle figure tells protagonist of his destiny and…

Come on, man. That’s a stretch. You’re describing basic archetypes, straight out of Hero with a Thousand Faces. Which, wouldn’t you know, Lucas cited as his primary influence/resource. You’re taking very shallow archetypes that apply to countless stories and trying to pass them off as a direct Dune-to Star Wars…

“I can’t say I’m impressed with Stevens as a coach.”

I wouldn’t agree with the part about Mabiel only having one NFL-ready talent. It seems obvious to me that Manziel has (or would have, if he got his head on straight) NFL starter-level talent. But as a Browns fan, I still wanted them to go with Bridgewater just because Manziel seemed like such an obvious train wreck.

Making fun of people for citing Kurosawa’s influence on Star Wars and then referencing Dune, which has zero relevance in regards to Star Wars, at least as far as being an influence upon it = tryING way too hard to seem hipper/smarter/cooler than everybody else. While failing miserably and making yourself look very…

And again, that’s because there was no need to differentiate further at that time. Everybody knew what Star Wars referred to. Then more Star Wars movies came out, and it became necessary to differentiate further. Are you being willfully stupid at this point?

95? That’s not even close to being true. At least try to make your idiotic claims semi-accurate.

Rare? Yeah, I had a hell of a time tracking it down. I believe I had to type the title into Amazon, and then click on it. Such an ordeal.

“(I)diots spouting Japanese Star Wars influences when it’s a dumbed down Dune for kids.”

Well, there was no reason to call it anything other than star wars at the time. When more star wars movies come out, it became necessary to differentiate between them a bit more. This shouldn’t be hard to understand. Aside from that, ypur point makes zero sense. People are hipsters because they call the original star…

Something can’t be an influence upon other things unless it is extremely popular or well-known? Your logic is impeccable.

That was indeed an awesome puzzle, but watching the way that you tried to solve it was excruciating.

This is going to sound crazy, but....through a series of unfortunate events, I once spent 24 hours in an Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) prison. One of the guys in the cell with me was an old head, had lived in Pittsburgh his whole life. He spent most of the day telling us stories about Dan Marino basically swimming in…

He wildly flung himself into a group of Hornets as time was expiring. That NEVER gets called. Especially when the offensive player isn’t in control, the primary defender had his arms straight up, the clock is winding down, etc etc. End of game situations like that get called differently, for better or worse.

Oh shucks, I’m an idiot. You win this round.

We found the Heat fan.
