  1. The crowd for this show has been tremendous. Reminds me of NXT crowds from before the pandemic.
  2. I don't know how you can't have Sami win. He's the guy right now. No one in WWE has been this over since Daniel Bryan, and that was like a decade ago.
  3. All three of my dogs came from breeders. Middle dog was a German Shepherd. They've all been pretty healthy. I lost my first boxer to cancer at around ten and a half, but he was mostly healthy prior to that. The Shepherd literally never went to the vet for anything other than check-ups and shots until he started getting sick shortly after turning eleven last year, and cancer got him shortly after as well. Current boxer similarly has only been to the vet for her vaccinations and the occasional allergy shot (cytopoint has been amazing for her) and she turned five at the end of October. I haven't fully committed yet, but I'll probably get a fourth dog in a year or so and I'm definitely leaning toward another boxer. The GSD was a fine dog, but I just don't want to ever deal with that type of shedding again. It was awful. I have no issues with adopting, but I look at a dog as a (hopefully) decade-plus commitment, and so I'd prefer to hedge my bets and get a dog from a reliable breeder. I get to raise the dog from eight weeks on. I know there's no significant trauma in their past that may randomly manifest itself as aggression. I know that the dogs come from a line of animals without serious behavioral issues. And I've so far had pretty good luck with health going the breeder route too.
  4. My first dog was a boxer (also my third dog, who is pictured to the left) and I think they're a great choice for a first dog. They're smart enough to be easily trained, although they can be a little stubborn at times. They act like idiots, though, which is amusing. They're typically good with other dogs, adults, and are well known as a breed that is good with children. I think it's because they have a high pain tolerance, and so they won't get pissy if a kid tugs on their ear or pinches them like some other breeds might, and will likely just interpret it as an invitation to play. And you get to take all sorts of ridiculous photos like this.
  5. That game is one where the ridiculousness of some of the open world stuff was very apparent. You're the leader of this massive Inquisition, but you can't send someone else out to pick some fucking flowers for you while the world is at stake?
  6. By the letter of the rule I think it was holding. I also think it was an awful call that you can’t make in a situation like that where it basically hands a team the game. A hold has to be egregious in that situation, and that hold was not egregious, nor was the pass even catchable regardless of the hold. I do appreciate the guy owning up to it. There was a lot of bad sportsmanship from eliminated teams this year and it was nice to see someone take accountability instead of blaming the refs or injuries.
  7. The Cavs have looked great the past couple of weeks. They finally seem to be starting to gel with Okoro figuring things out and becoming a decent corner three guy offensively, which means it no longer feels like they're playing 4on5 on offense when he's on the court. They're also signing Danny Green, whose shooting helps address their biggest weakness. Plus, Mobley really seems to be making a mid-season leap and has the ability to just assert his will on a game at times. His passing ability is incredible for a big man. You can tell he's a coach's son. My main concern with them is just their lack of experience come playoff time. They've got one of the youngest rosters in the league and only a couple of guys have extensive playoff experience. I think Love is the only one who has won a title, and he's not even in the rotation right now. And I guess Danny Green has won too, but he's just joining the team.
  8. It's a shame they didn't use that same plot for the first Suicide Squad movie. It may have actually been good.
  9. Right now they don't have much of a choice. They have none of their own picks and their salary cap is still fucked, and they've got the albatross that is Ben Simmons' contract on the books for another two seasons.
  10. I mean, Utah and Denver have basically been doing that for decades.
  11. The Nets are also screwed because Houston owns their next four or five first rounders (a couple are swaps, but still), which means they have absolutely no incentive to rebuild and tank. They have to try to win right away.
  12. Apparently KD, Kyrie, and Harden added up to six playoff wins. Lmao Nets. Two super teams, zero championships. Better luck next time.
  13. Probably not many, especially in the modern NBA where teams rest their stars for like a third of each season for maintenance.
  14. To be fair, this is basically the most impressive record in basketball and will almost certainly never be broken.
  15. That should also put to bed any concerns that him leaving will have a significant creative impact on Rick & Morty, as from the sound of it he stopped involving himself with the writer's room in season three. Which, in my opinion, is the strongest season of the show. Obviously they'll lose some of his off script rantings, but overall the show will likely be fine without him.
  16. If they were going to pick an AFC backup QB, it should have been Brissett.
  17. Sounds like everyone else turned Denver down and they had to pony up for Payton.
  18. The game necessarily had to throw in a bunch of prolonged combat or stealth encounters to keep players engaged. The show smartly seems to be picking its spots.
