Just watch Galaxy Quest. It's the best star trek movie.
It is.
Fuck
EDIT:
Hold the horses you cunts.
Fury Road was awesome for what it was.
Light on exposition, straight forward, action thriller, with some stake in it.
It was praised for pacing, editing, practical stunts and fx (it did use a ton of sfx though), and the variety of the scenarios. I only watched it once, but I remember being engaged the moment the action began. I think one whole act was just action and it was pretty good.
Did GAF over hype it? Perhaps, but after Speed Racer you guys should cautiously approach any movie opinions from GAF. I mean ffs there are people in OT that defend movies like Ironman 2. Guys, Iron Man 2, I cannot remember what happened in that movie but I surely remember that it was shit.

Word.
I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D and it was still a massive pile of shit.
Fury Road is madly overrated on GAF (and internets in general) but it's still infinitely better than Avatar.
you can watch anime instead.
I think that Spinluck is in need of some snacks and limbo.

The Raid guys will be in more Star Wars movies, they signed multi contact deals and I think they'll be in the SW movie coming out this year...

Btw, cheer up friend, clearly something you believed in has left you and is affecting your movie opinions.
Maybe.

Sorry, I've already ruled the Colts out. Not to mention, what kind of pillock drives for four hours knowing they're going to be in Indiana at the end of it?

Good morning everyone.
Well the previous owner drove 9 hours to Indiana from Baltimore.. Which is the better end of that exchange.

Doug Pederson is in Philly.

Unfortunately so are Sam Bradford and Pat Shurmur.
I want that to be true, but that's not the case right now. Some are saying we go with Childress at OC and draft a QB.

I think Shurmur could go but I'm not sure about Bradford. The smart play would be to cash in now and see what you could get for him, ideally ship him to Houston to see Mech get excited all over again.

So Giants fan this is how i feel...
Another 6-10 season coming up, nothing changed with the Giants, most of the coaching staff is still intact, all they did was change HC by promoting from within, by keeping Spags you are further saying the GM fucked you over, yet won't fire him, we still moving in the same direction, Ben won't fix this team, John Mara finally moves out of his father's shadow, Coughlin was Wellington final hire...

Well the Giants clearly feel the problem was Coughlin.
When they brought in McAdoo a few years back that was the thought wasn't it? That he was brought in to take over?
And now after missing the playoffs again they decided Tom was the problem. To me it seems like poor drafting and injuries are the main issue. Especially when you combine both on the defensive side.
But if Tom was the issue, you guys will be all right. Have the best QB and WR in the division.
Good write up. I do think Chip will approach things a little differently. He isn't going to change his ideas or the way he runs the offense but he might modify his approach and apply lessons learned from Philly.
I think Eagles firing him was the first time in his meteoric rise he had been knocked down a peg. I really wish he had gone to an AFC team so I could have rooted for him.

Ultimately the reason I am so disappointed is not that Pederson is the hire but the process and complete lack of vision by Lurie on what to do moving forward.
They fired Chip with 1 week/game left in the season to get a head start in their coaching search yet they didn't interview many candidates at all. Lurie spoke of a coach who had both vision for the short term, mid term, and long term. Spoke about a coach who understood the game but also how to relate to the players.
Fine all sounds good. But in the end it seems like they interviewed far too few candidates and then settled on Pederson as a safe Andy Reid lite pick rather than take a risk on a candidate who doesn't think, act, or run the show like Reid.
To me its pathetic. You are basically going back on your decision and reason for firing Reid. Chip didn't work, but at least it was a move in a different direction after 14 years of the same thing (good, bad, and ugly). Similarly I thought they would look to hire someone new and not just revert back to how things were. Doesn't come across well for Lurie or the perception (reality basically) that candidates wouldn't take this job cause of the set up with Howie.
They limited their search to only offensive coordinators or assistants. Defensive guys don't win as a fact to Howie. Then further limited their search by only interviewing a few candidates, leaving out some obvious guys like Hue Jackson. Then further narrowed themselves when guys they might have been interested in (Gase, McAdoo, and Coughlin) all declined presumable due to the FO set up.
I mean that's not how you get the best available candidate. That reeks of striking out because you are stubborn and fail to realize how poisonous Howie has become to the brand.
Pederson might become Reid 2.0 and enjoy similar success. I hope so. I hope he is even better and finally brings a SB to Philly but I just don't see it. Every thing seems to indicate this was the safest pick for both Lurie (afraid of change now) and Howie (afraid of a coach removing him from power). Even with unproven guys like Gase or McAdoo or retread like Coughlin, you would have still moved away from Chip but still brought in a new system or way of doing things.
While I firmly believe firing Reid was the right thing to do for both sides, if you were going to crawl back to the same set up 3 seasons later, might as well have justified keeping him.

You stay a night. I was driving 6 hours each way to go to Cardinals games as a season ticket holder for a few years. 4 hours is nothing.

I have a family friends who their dad move like 5 hour away for work and did the drive home every weekend. After like 2 years he moved out the family cause he couldn't take it anymore.
Lol.... now they all grown and done with college so all of them moved back to Seattle except their parents, who are still out in farm land(Idaho). I ended up visting last summer and yea I have no clue how anyone could do that drive on a weekly. I mean 5 hours wasn't that bad but to do it every week lololol fuck that shit.

Mara said again and again how the personnel was not up to snuff. Tom is just the fall guy. I guess they're giving Reese another chance but I don't reckon his leash is going to be very long.
Eli was a massive advocate for McAdoo, as well. So they probably didn't want him going far.

.@howardeskin says Chip Kelly was not a fan of @Kaepernick7 "I don't know if he likes the culture of Colin Kaepernick"
Take from that what you will.
I'm not going to suggest that the guy with a history of getting rid of talented, black players with strong personalities doesn't like his new talented, black QB with a strong personality, but....
that quote's not a good look.

Don't get mad at Lurie because Chip fucked up that roster so good and proper no one wants to coach there.

And I'm going to be fair to Kelly because that is a second hand quote (from a guy known to stir the pot in Philly).
Eskin has to elaborate as to what he actually means by that last bit.
I mean Kaep isn't the best QB in the world, but Chip isn't going to just get rid of him. I'll think they work out well together.
The princess bride is a goddamn treasure how dare you
You are the worst
Honestly depending on what Pederson wants to do we simply might not have the cap space for Bradford. In that case you're welcome aboard the eagles!
Agreed. I have no anger at the Pederson hire. If he gets a decent DC to run the defense, I'm cautiously optimistic he'll be able to get the team on the right track. It's just the way everything happened was so sloppy. It seems lurie got pissed at Kelly and fired him, and then only realized after the fact that he needed to hire someone to replace Kelly. I'm not going to write off Pederson before I see what he does, but it's been a bad coaching search regardless

Marshawn Lynch sent ESPN's @Kenny_Mayne a two-word text about his status for Sunday's game vs. Carolina: "I'm ready." Beastmode.
EDIT: Looks like McDermott will need to wait another year to get a HC shot. Might be time for him to brush up on offensive concepts. Maybe sit in on some QB film room sessions. Looks like the league only wants OCs (even though half of the coaches that made it to the final 8 of the tourney- BB,Rivera,Caroll,Tomlin- are defensive coaches by trade)

Still way too early to make any proclamation about expectations. There's still changes coming on the staff side of the things. With the coaching search settled, there's no word on what changes will happen on the front office end. Free agency, draft, etc still need to happen. There's much that needs to happen before 6-10 gets thrown out there. Much less in a terrible division that's wide open.
Ben needs players. Silly to think he won't succeed when he hasn't even had an introductory press conference. You'd feel better with Mike Smith or Doug Marrone at the helm?
