I can't wait. Great director and the best actor of his generation.

Based on the best-selling book, Team of Rivals, by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, the screenplay has been written by the Pulitzer Prize winner, Tony Award winner, and Academy Award nominated writer Tony Kushner. It will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg.

It is anticipated that the film will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War.

now I'm a big fan of DD and Spielberg. HOWEVER, I don't like the choice for Lincoln. Simply because I think the expectations will be so super high it might not deliver.

But go get someone more understated but can nail the nuances.

I mean it will be a great film but dunno know about living up to the hype.

i dunno about expectations really, Spielberg hasn't really made a good movie in 8-12 years (depending on taste.)

and Day Lewis? He hasn't made a good one since '98. Were his performances good? Yes. Were the movies good? not really.

So i guess i agree with you. Recipe for disappointment.

Full disclosure, I feel this way about most things.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
