World War II in HD

Recommended Posts

DVR'd it and watching the first one now... pretty good. Would like my kids to watch it too, but it's a little graphic for them now.

Yep..me too. 1st episode.

Couldnt have been a better Monday Night game to skip.:D

Ill check in on it occasionally. But i suspect WWII will be more interesting despite already knowing the outcome Scrum.

In "HD" is horsepoo.

More accurate to say "in color", which was already done a few years back.

They added some A-list and B-list actor voice-overs, and interviewed a few of the actual vets.

It is ok, but call me old fashioned....I like the grainy black and white stuff.

And believe it or not, we had Allies in that slog, one of which was pretty much alone for quite some time. This is limited in scope, by design, and the footage is not all new.

Give me "The World at War". Still the gold standard when it comes to WWII documentaries. I watched this, because the Cleveland Browns are far from compelling television.

    • Of course they are all busts. Young QBs with high upside that either had their chance cut short or were in terrible situations. Building your roster and trying for one of those is a cheap risk potential high reward situation. I don’t think we take one early in the draft again right away. Mid to late in the draft is a cheap gamble but deliver pretty low chances. Trying to recreate a Danny Dimes, Geno Smith, San Darnold, Baker Mayfield type situation as our plan B kind of works. At worst these guys are backup QBs which we need anyway. They are young enough to possibly have some potential still. You are finding some elite QB in FA for cheap. 
    • I used to work within the gaming industry, but I'm very much glad I finally got out. The whole problem gambling angle always came across as a "We do it because we have to" more than a genuine effort. Also, someone once told me that if you're gambling because you think you'll actually make money, you're doing it for the wrong reason. But that's how it's often marketed. Hey, look at this guy with a wad of cash and hot babes around him. I very much am not surprised how pervasive gambling and sports betting has become since I saw it up close when it was much more limited.
    • I think he's an impediment to any receiver because he rarely hits a receiver in stride, but X would certainly benefit if he is hit in stride because it takes him a while to get going. He may be fast, but he's not quick, and he's not really twitchy either.  I'm just glad that Bryce looked his way for a change. I don't think we'll have that problem with Dalton.
