I prefer the first picture. I like something a little different or unexpected when it comes to remaking classic IP. I get why purists want everything in the style of Richard Donners's Superman or Action Comics #1, but I've seen Superman [i]so many times[/i]. Makes me appreciate a slightly different ...

IMO Scalzi now thinks he's funnier than he is. Kaiju and Redshirts were both just OK (though I know Redshirts had its fans). His more serious sci-fi - Old Man's War series, even Collapsing Empire series, were [i]much[/i] better. ...

The Saints have shown no interest this offseason in giving out anything other than low end 1 year deals to FA (see my "soft reset" thread). He probably wants more than that. ...

[quote]Lions finished last four years in a row from 2018-2021. Never won more than 6 games. That feels like tanking.[/quote] You're proving my point. FOUR YEARS of finishing last is proof that tanking did not work. And that was with #1 draft pick Matt Stafford (left over from previous tanking). T...

re: Best position for Penning plus Saints Interior Offensive Line Discussion

Posted by Handsome Pete on 5/9/24 at 2:26 pm

I do not understand this interest people have a replacing our pro bowl center with Ruiz. This "natural position" crap is nonsense. Ruiz has played guard more than he ever played center, and McCoy had played center more than he ever played guard. Our OL has enough problems without creating new ones. ...

Ok movie. Some decent action, but the prolonged truck fight was boring, though you could tell they meant it to be the centerpiece action sequence. Never any sense of peril for the characters. And Heather Thomas in the stinger made me sad. ...

re: New Shuffled Saints Offensive Line

Why would they suddenly switch McCoy and Ruiz after 4 years? At this point, they've each played their current position longer than they played the other in college. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/GtZRPsK6/IMG-3593.gif[/img]...
