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.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
