I loved it too.

 

I'm trying to figure out how long this can go for since they use such recent events. pretty soon the show will have to pass current events, no?

Sorkin said it goes right up until the Sandy Hook shooting. Season 3 will begin with it.

When asked if the show will touch on the tragic Newtown shooting, Sorkin says the second season will "just get up to Sandy Hook" and implies that Season 3 may include it. 

He adds that it's a terribly difficult thing to write. 

"Newtown was a profoundly important moment to all of us and the last thing you want to do is handle it poorly," says Sorkin.

Sorkin is so good at tightly-bound scripts and character plot continuance, yet people hate him because he molds his work to his vision. 

 

When will brilliant shows hit a critical mass and stick around?

I really hope The Newsroom sticks around. Incredible writing, characters and the fact that they are real stories and people draws me in. I haven't been this excited about a show since The Wire.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
