My favorite part is when he comes back to have a couple of words with Doyle after the play.  As if attempting to leave someone with a career ending, if not life threatening, injury is just part of the game.  Dude is delusional, good riddance.

I was under the impression that Harris’s record on crime was the reason she never became a leading candidate.  At least in the circles I’m a part of, people were immediately calling her out on it.  But maybe that heat is passing in light of other candidates’ shortcomings?

That reaction brings to mind stories told by Dutch Mantel about old wrestling crowds, when the heels would need a security escort to the ring and sometimes getting out of the arena.

I haven’t watched Jack Ryan, but I wonder if it’s more entertaining if you imagine it as Jim’s daydreams?  Maybe the big series finale will feature Pam gently shaking him awake from a dad nap because Michael and Holly are in town and they’re meeting them for dinner.

I agree, and don’t think the GMs are going to start fearing their draft picks retiring early. Luck played for five years behind an offensive line that averaged 100+ hits on the qb each season. He lost an entire season because of the damage that did to him. Sure, last year the Colts’ o-line was much better, but that…

Starting the season off with the Challenger explosion set the stage for a big loss this season, and Glow never really matched that magnitude. Sure, Ruth and Carmen seem to be making an exit, but we had Keith leave the show and come back, so why would we expect any different from anyone else? In contrast, the three…

I thought it was funny Avatar got mentioned so briefly. It may have inhabited a more fantastical setting, but the film was a vehicle for advancements in 3D effects and computer generated special effects makeup.  Its success was a huge endorsement for the camp that advocates technological sophistication above all else.

Are we sure Turner wasn’t just expressing shock that the ump didn’t call it a strike? Considering Turner was recently thrown out for nothing, I understand why he’s arguing against umps taking a power trip.

Hardly a new skill set for catchers, but it does mean pitchers lose the advantage they currently have when the bases are empty. I don’t know if the data is available in an accessible form, but it would be cool to objectively measure how large that advantage is (presumably by comparing strikeouts when the bases are…

My feelings on Hopper this season basically boil down to I wanted more of the Hopper that wrote the speech for Mike and El, and less of what we actually got. To be fair, I didn’t rewatch the show before Season 3, so maybe that expectation was too heavily influenced by the spin on Hoppers character that developed in…

Was there a third option for the ME3 choice?  Or did I just commit genocide on all my playthroughs?  I’m sure I sided with Legion to help him reach the next level of Geth, but I don’t remember that killing Tali.

My first thought when I read the headline was how impressed I was by the general mobility in Titanfall. My FPS experience prior had largely been split between Halo and Borderlands, neither of which gave you the same feeling of flying around the map (though Borderlands was closer).

It sounds a lot like the premise for most of the setups on Scare Tactics, the prank show that used to air on SciFi.  Is this how Blumhouse is reviving that series, or are they just going to let that announcement quietly wither in a corner?

Can’t forget deep threat Sam Stonehands.

No “Finish Him” reference? I’m disappointed.

Trump’s tastes are actually rather simple.  He wants to project the image of wealth, but lacks the culture and refinement to do so effectively.  He desperately wants to be important, but no one of actual importance would willingly endure his presence. So he centers his life around telling people who aren’t wealthy or…

I look forward to the day Amazon applies this technology to their delivery drones.

At least some people got flamethrowers* out of it, right?

That lost ball may have given LSU a home regional, too.  Though to be fair, their commanding victory over Mississippi State the next day will be what seals it, as long as the committee doesn’t decide that an exhausted LSU getting whooped by Vandy doesn’t count too harshly against them.  LSU has had a rough season with…

I’d say the fallout from Benoit’s murder/suicide is definitely darker. While it was initially blamed on steroids, a then popular target, it ended up being a catalyst for the conversation surrounding concussions.
