On a side note, I finally saw The Big Lebowski last weekend. Only 12 years late. Geoff Schwartz was funny as hell in that movie and he played some great right tackle atthe end of our season. Multi-talented ftw.

Saw it last night. Really enjoyed it. Thought Renner was great in the leading role and thought it was every bit the best movie of the year and the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan, supplanting Black Hawk Down in my mind.

What I don't understand is the backlash against the film. The whole of the IMDB boards was people hating on it. Makes no sense at all to me. Even more mind-bogggling were the people saying Avatar should have won Best Picture instead. Are they being ironic?

As for Precious (based on Push by Sapphire), I disagree with the perceived notion that a movie has to be a soul-crushing drama to win Best Picture. Most people think that if a movie is fun to watch, it's not Oscar worthy. Well excuse me if I think that sitting through two hours of poverty, child abuse, racism, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, and basically all the worst parts of the Bible is a chore, not an escape.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
