I'm pretty sure I'd rather Coldplay do it than Richard Cheese. Actually, I'm no longer sure.

Then POW! He was decapitated. They found his head over by the sno-cone concession.

I know the word Dean is in there somewhere!

I don't use ad block, but I still don't have that problem. It's possible your computer has been touching naughties with a dirty, dirty server hub somewhere. Might need a sulfa or some kind of antibiotic — maybe try the special shampoos, but remember to be really careful with water around your motherboard.

Ell oh ell.

That doesn't make the show good. Maybe he's here because of an interest in social media campaigns.

"Why'd You Bother, Internet?"

Are you for real?

I believe King recently apologized for Tommyknockers, the book, and called it what happens when a novel is written by someone jacked up on cocaine.

Even if it just affected touring together and not the actual on stage performance, I'd say they have the right. Dealing with a sloppy, destructive drunk is nightmare fuel.

Character trajectories are kind of a joke on this show. The characters move a few steps in the finales and in the openers, everything in between tends toward episodic fluff.

This entire conversation is moot anyway: the CB specifies penalties. Going outside of that would invite a lawsuit from the Players' Union, one that would be really difficult for them to lose just based on contract law.

Okay then, do they get injured on every single play? It's pretty silly to claim that PEDs have an equal but opposite negative effect on performance. Otherwise there would never be a reason to do them.

Makes them more injury prone, I can accept that . . . but then it makes them recover faster from injuries . . . I'm not seeing a near equal negative correlation.

The refs cheated! Over-inflated balls cut through the air better and are more accurate!

Imagine if taking PEDs made you really good at running but really terrible at catching. That's what ball tampering tends to do. Improves one aspect at the expense of another.

I believe the prescribed maximum punishment on the books for ball tampering is . . .

Or maybe Camden is a delusional suburb of Philly, my point is they're the same thing.

Philly is just a delusional suburb of Camden.

From what I understand, from people distilling things said on a podcast, not firsthand, there was a longer version of that scene but it didn't test well. Was too jarringly different in tone. Thor was possessed by some ghost thing and the doc asked him questions — which is why Thor wasn't alone in the scene that ended…
