I also forgot cynicism but luckily for all of us we have you for that!

I would say that it's a sad day for Detroit, but I imagine that everyday is a sad day when you live in Detroit. At least this bullshit cinderella story is over with. 

Don't need to make dumb lazy jokes.  You clearly haven't been near Detroit in a while. 

I was actually believing that Detroit was going to win. That first half was everything Detroit has done well all year. The second half, well that's how Detroit falls apart. All that was missing was some obscure penalty call against them.

Had the Lions +7.5 points, Gibbs anytime TD and Gibbs 50 yards rushing. At half I was up 24.5 points, Gibbs had 40+/- yards rushing and a TD and I still lose because Gibbs can't get 10 yards in entire 2nd half, hell they barely got the 7.5 spread. It wasn't a lot of money but damn!

Guys, I think we're going to see Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl. 

Maybe she will perform with Usher since she is there?

Man the Ravens just can't get out of their own way. Clowney takes two steps and lowers his helmet and hits Mahomes in the helmet.

Great td saving play by Snead

And let Flowers know that this is the championship game and not to do dumb shit that hurts the team.

Wow, amazing play by Jackson, avoids the sack then throws a dime for a TD.

And just like that Swift haters united "I wish they would stop showing her, blah blah blah. He hasn't been good since he started dating her blah blah blah."

Couple of other things I watched;

No Hard Feelings. Jennifer Lawrence gets paid to sleep with a younger guy. It’s a comedy.  Now I’ve seen some pretty negative reactions to this movie, a lot of it centred around a sense of disgust by the general premise. I liked the film however, I don’t have any issues with the story at all, in fact for the most part it was reasonably well handled. Lawrence is self assured enough to make it work and she does a good job.

I sense peoples issues will be with the casting of the young guy. He is meant to be 19 and she is 32. I have no issue at all with that age gap, he’s an adult at that point. The guy who plays him however looks YOUNG, and that is giving it an ick factor. Also he just wasn’t great, a much more likeable or comedic actor would have elevated it massively. 

I liked her in this, she didn't hold back. Seems to be who she is as a person. The movie, eh, was ok at best but she was good in it.

Finished up Reacher Season 2.  The last two episodes do a good job further cementing the protagonist as the bad guy, were it not for the Scooby Doo villains he's put up against who seem to have all the character of a wave of baddies of the NES Contra video game.  In addition it leans into the plot holes of a lot of heist shows where the value of the prize isn't worth the cost of securing it.  The baddies are trying to get away with $65 million dollars.  The Super Puma helicopter they are using retails at $22 million by itself.  Are you telling me that a VP at Not-GE Aerospace is going to go through all the risks for whatever share of $65 million he ends up getting after expenses?  Hell just get a deal to ship the missiles legally to Saudi Arabia and sell your stock options after the firm's price goes up. 

Stop using logic to ruin Reacher for me!!!  I wanna shut my brain off and just enjoy!

I meant who gets more credit.

And Mahomes would like a word. Tomorrow should be fun. 

Mahomes can wait, he isn't there yet.

Lets not forget a few things. Mahomes took over a team that went 10-6, 12-4, and 11-5 the previous three seasons.  That team had Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt, and Travis Kelce, all three had over 1000 yards the previous season without him, all top level pro bowl talent.

Brady took over a team that was 0-2, previous years were 5-11, and 8-8.  Brady didn't walk into the same situation as Mahomes did and yet he took them to the SB and won it, along with SIX others. 

Until Mahomes at least gets to four or five lets not be talking goat shit. There have been plenty of the next Michael Jordans.

That and tying Brady. The latter likely will never happen and as far as getting the record goes, unless he goes to a ready made team with a QB it could possibly take three seasons.

Belichik has 8 rings, Brady has 7. Yes 2 were as def coordinator but he still has 8.

I'd say it's time for him to ride off in the sunset. Will be tough though since he made it known he wants to continue coaching, hard for someone with that much success to go out that way.

I can't read this thread until tomorrow since I only watched Ep 1 so far but I couldn't hold this comment back. Wow that performance by Foster was bad. The scene in the truck when the drunk girl hits the sign. Foster acting like a badass was absolutely laughable and hard to watch. My wife (we watched it different days) said the same thing when we talked about the show last night.

Will watch Ep 2 tonight so I can read this. Hopefully her acting like a badass dies down a bit.

Well, they run very well and Goff makes minimal mistakes. The def will be the issue, and the draft is how they made the final 4!

I hope they revisit the draft before the game. Show clips of all the experts who mocked Detroit for taking the players they took in rounds 1-2. 

Gibbs, explosive runner and catcher. I desperately wanted him in Dallas before the draft. Told my Lions obsessed co-workers about him before the draft and they ended up with him, bastards.

Campbell, rotating in the game and will be starting next year, makes sound plays every week.

LaPorta, best rookie season ever for a TE

Branch, playmaker on defense, solid against the run, lost middle of season for an injury but his talent still shows weekly.

"Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyway!?!?!"

I thought John Wick 4 was great. I liked both Caine and Mr. Nobody a lot, and the “dragon’s breath” scene was definitely memorable for me. That sequence alone was worth the price of admission. 

That was the shot gun scene I was thinking of. The scene that I didn't like was the stairs. Seemed to go on forever.

Wow bad decision on that throw and games over.

Yeah I don't understand letting the clock run. Call timeout and even look at the spot on the Purdy scramble, looked like a bad spot.

I have a strong dislike for GB and SF so my rooting interest is for GB to win only so that if Detroit wins tomorrow they would host the Conf champ game here.  Don't have to say how crazy this town would go if that happened.

Well the Detroit Red Wings fans have a history of throwing octopuses on the ice during the playoffs, does that count? The octopus has 8 tentacles symbolizing the 8 wins it used to take to win the Stanley cup . Imagine how you have to sneak that into the arena.

I don't feel as bad about the Cowboys loss now seeing what they are doing here.

Honestly, I vaguely remember a shotgun, maybe in Tokyo?  The whole scene with the heavies with plot unarmor?

Shoot out scene (shocker!) and the view is from above as he goes room to room with a shot gun.

Watched it not long ago. I remember very little about any of the series except that the action choreography while frenetic has no economy of motion or energy.

Clearly no one in universe has heard the shooter mantra that slow is smooth and smooth is fast. 

What did you think of the 

Finished Reacher S2 and yeah it was a little much even for what it is. 

That said I will be watching S3 no question. If it goes back to having less of a team and more of the one man army I think it will be better.
