More “But what about...”

Ugh, you’re right.

Being an NFL quarterback doesn’t make him a “world-class athlete”.

Tan Julius: Idiot.

Yes, its gross (as fuck), but who cares? Your kid, your (disgusting) mouth. Just don’t do it in public, but other than that, have at it.

Seriously, whats the point of having countries anymore?

I asked the woman who sits next to me, who doesn’t follow baseball, to name a baseball player.
“Babe Ruth”.

I’m pretty sure most people knew Joe DiMaggio at the time... he played at a time when baseball really was America’s pastime, he played for killer Yankee teams, and most importantly (by a long shot), he married Marilyn Monroe, who had a whole industry behind her pushing the movie star/sports hero angle.

Announcer: “This is a cornhole tournament fundraiser, cut the crap!”

Didn’t the players just push for more off days, thus creating a need for an earlier start to this season?

I don’t know why, but this whole thing seemed incredibly staged to me. Just the way the “dad” acted when he passed the pucks to the boys. There is no way on earth that the little girl wasn’t getting a puck. Maybe she didn’t know it, but everyone else involved did.

I agree with you. Terrible way to resolve the “mystery”. Like, if this is supposed to be (or at least inspired by) a “noir”, that is not the pay off.

I actually felt like the final scene made it even worse, because the film…
