But why not just say that as an official stance? Why all the wishy washy back and forth, with different people all offering different answers? 

Nah, podcasts are good. If you’re relying on them as a source of information - pure, who/what/when/why facts about the world - then you’re using them wrong. They shouldn’t replace reading; they’re an entirely different medium. What good podcasts are great for is discussion. Multiple well-informed people not just…

Because Suicide Squad had good trailers, too.

I will not get hyped for the posters. I will not get hyped for the trailers. I will not go opening night, or even opening weekend. After Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman, the DCEU will only have my money after several friends and/or critics I trust tell me this is worth my time. Fool me once, etc.

“To me, you’re the troll.” - Guy Who Says “Whatevs bro.”

I didn’t call you a racist. I read your comment and decided you’d either have to be stupid or trolling to not see the difference between this and whitewashing. Then, I opted to give you the benefit of the doubt and went with trolling. But if the first two sentences in my prior reply don’t count as intelligent…

Yes, given the lack of proportional representation for people of color in both comic books AND comic book movies (and genre fiction more generally) it is far preferable from a diversity standpoint to cast a black actor as a white character than to cast a white character as a traditionally black one. Especially as, in…

No, you were just casting aspersions on others for articulating that criticism by suggesting they were acting out of partisan bias against Tebow rather than, you know, the fact that his career is at this point and has for some time been “a spectacle, a money grab, or a waste of time. ... a joke.”

I still can’t understand the vitriol this man inspires in the left-wing circles of sports analysis.

lol I never even noticed that, but I just checked and it wasn’t a copy/paste fuckup. He legit used the not-word “aliented.”

GAH those eyes! He’s staring through my soul!

How could the sentence “Using the NFL as a platform for his causes is his priority” possibly refer to any of the stuff you just described?

As a youngish person who works at a newspaper, this is why I always roll my eyes when a colleague rails against clickbait; the local sports columnist - and, sadly, the local politics columnist at some papers - was clickbait before there were even clicks. It’s a century old tradition of taking the most inflammatory,…

Sure, and I’m not arguing the Bears were wrong to trade him when they did, but there’s a gap between recognizing that a situation has become toxic enough that dealing a player is the right move and torching a guy as “embarrassing” and “intolerable” on his way out the door. (Which, of course, is on the columnist and…

Exactly.

I think this is in reference to Marshall’s efforts to raise awareness for Borderline Personality Disorder, which apparently were considered a distraction among the hallowed grounds of Halas Fricken’ Hall.

Brandon Marshall is unjustly maligned in Jets circles for infamously proclaiming he was “going down in the boat with Ryan Fitzpatrick” during the debacle that was last season, as well as his feud with Sheldon Richardson, but as a fan I enjoyed his time with the team and believe he definitely has good football left in…

Your point was they should get rid of him because Dak, is the QB. No one is disputing that fact.

Ah, crap. It turns out that, actually, imstupid.

There are a couple factors in the Cowboys favour. One is that when he plays, including the one series he played this year, Romo is still probably the best QB in a very thin QB market (especially with Kirk Cousins exclusive tagged).
