I was initially of this opinion too, but it's more fun to simply enjoy the Hobbit with the added material and forget about the blatant materialism. Because they are entertaining fucking movies, and materialism is ultimately the whole reason for the existence of film in the first place.

You seem like a nice and reasonable person, and I'm not trying to sound like a jerk here, but....

I think that is without question.

Actually, there is no debate to be had about prosecutors bringing cases they think they will lose: They shouldn't. It's a sad state of affairs in the criminal justice system, but the fact remains that there are not unlimited time, personnel, and taxpayer dollars to simply prosecute cases just to prove a point. The…

It's common knowledge that she takes herself...a bit seriously, correct?

Let me just say, I always pull for Sparty, and that will continue against Stanford.

No, the point is that Jenkins didn't get paid before. Meyer did. Two completely different situations.

Indeed. It will be a great Rose Bowl. And I agree that it's hard to sustain excellence week-to-week. But. Tommy Rees. I'm just saying, it immediately invalidates any consideration of Sparty playing for the title.

I like MSU, but seriously - they lost to a team that is quarterbacked by Tommy Rees. And no, they absolutely could not beat Auburn. If you can't stop Tommy Rees, you CANNOT stop that ridiculous meatgrinder of an offense that Auburn has. I don't know what else to say, it's simply a fact.

OK, Reese Dismukes is leading the best O-line (and #2 rushing attack) in the country in knock-down blocks, he's their clear leader @ center ... aaaaand he doesn't even make the top ten?

Really liked this. Not sure why.

Par for the course from you here. I like Deadspin, I don't like rape jokes, but you are so consistently hypocritical on every single topic it absolutely blows my mind. You're the sort of person I would never even attempt to engage because, for better or for worse, your complex system of double standards and…

If you've spent any amount of time on this site, you know Marchman's hypocrisy is staggering. Basically, he thinks his standards are the only ones that matter, and expects everyone to fall in line with his beliefs. Best to simply ignore him.

These pigs should be murdered. I'm only half joking.

*uncomfortable laugh....

If he really wanted to make his point, he would have made some better shit-analogies.

....Struggling to un-see

This was me the entirety of high school and a large part of college, until my ankles just got so bad I had to quit. I could dunk too, though. Can still come close now, but don't dare try (see: ankles).

I cannot believe how badly you missed that guy's point.

If you're speaking of the league at large, AI was entertaining, and and incredibly gifted athlete, and there were the Kings of that timeframe as well. But....as a whole the league was in a bit of a rut, and there were numerous garbage games every night of the regular season. As it stands now, pick any five teams…
