NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[fightinfunbags]

I think Jan 14th.

Did you see Season 1?

Yes exceptional television

 

[WiggyRuss]

Chiefs are not doing it this year.

Their tackles are weak and they have maybe the worst receiver group in the NFL.

They can win a game or 2 because Mahomes and their defense is legit. But I think they are equally likely to lose in round 1.

who are your top 8 NFL teams right now in order?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yes exceptional television

some fabulous tits as well.

Alexandria Daddario--- that scene made her a star

Lili Simmons not bad either.

 

[tlance]

who are your top 8 NFL teams right now in order?

Based on how they are playing today and projected first round home field advantages, I think this:

1. San Francisco- I watched the game. Their loss to Baltimore was flukey level bad. I think they are better, but it is very close.
2. Baltimore


Large gap

3. Buffalo
4. LA Rams
5. Dallas
6. Detroit
7. Kansas City
8. Miami

And I would put Cleveland at 9

But really not a lot separating 3-9

Really curious on Buffalo since they’ve been so impossibly lucky for the last month

This was brought up a few days ago

49ers may still be favored in potential Super Bowl 2024 rematch against Ravens

Oddsmakers may not think the Ravens’ beatdown on the 49ers is indicative of what would happen in the Super Bowl.

Okay, so Season 1 is kinda a Super Natural Crime Drama.

Superb.

Season 2 is a who done it, melodrama.

Good if you don’t compare it to Season 1.

Season 3 is also fantastic. Who done it with time jumps back and forth.

I hear Season 4 is the best of all.

my only beef with season 1 is the bad guy was extremely formulaic as if it was ripped out of a criminal minds episode and we basically forgot all about the underground high society stuff

MM and Harrelson were absolutely fantastic and McConaughey probably had a top 5 all time TV character

This is what folks are saying about Season 4.

Apparently, Jodie Foster killed this shit.

Oh, I hope it’s as good as advertised.


Night Country stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as a pair of detectives investigating the disappearance of eight men at a research station in the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska.

It seemingly delivered on the promise, too, netting a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score on the review aggregator (the second and third seasons received 47% and 84% respectively, with the first season on 91%).

Foster is electric: a woman with an undisclosed but traumatic past, trapped in Ennis after being exiled by her bosses. She’s distinctly unlikeable, shoving everybody around with much the same levels of disdain – including but not limited to: her boss, whom she’s sleeping with, her resentful stepdaughter and the town drunk – but man is she magnetic

she's a great actress.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

she's a great actress.

Indeed

I’m kinda nervous because they said there was a nod to Silence of the Lambs.

Apparently it was done very tastefully and doesn’t detract from the story.

As long as they don’t say she’s Clarice Starling, I will live with it.

that would be so dumb lol

Another show I thought was awesome was Hannibal.

Oh my GAWD.

I thought that show was BRILLIANT.

Some roles….

You just don’t mess with.

But Mads take on Hannibal was incredible.

Jillian Anderson blew me away as well.

I was gutted when that show got cancelled.

but Mads was awesome

The pro bowl is dumb as shit. For the most part it is just giving the big names recognition. I would like to see the all-pro teams at least get it right.

I've always watched and enjoyed the Pro Bowl for what it is...but football isn't really a sport that lends itself to things like all-star games.

These days the top players don't seem to be very interested in playing in it like they did in the past, which takes a lot away from it. Folks want to see the guy who was actually the guy who was picked, not the 3rd alternate.

they really need to limit how many alternates there are.

 

[fightinfunbags]

They can’t. They’d have to scramble. I think the rule is that if you’re in the conference championship game you have to sit the Pro Bowl. That’s 4 teams worth of Pro Bowlers and they’re likely to be teams that got a lot of players invited.

it's just the super bowl no?

do the damn pro bowl after the super bowl. Why do we need 2 weeks off? I get helping teams be healthy as possible and all but.....meh.

The pro bowl nominations itself should just be a separate connotation and then do some skills shit etc with whomever wants a free trip that week.

Just name the team and be done with it. No game. It isn’t even football.
