  1. Finished Racing to Survive Alaska on Peacock. It's a 10 ep survival race. 8 teams of 2 start out. A race can last 2-3 days, 12 hours max per day then they have survive by setting up camp, find food and rest until the race starts back up the next day. They had to do 6 of them over 40 days straight to win $500k. It's pretty interesting to watch, obviously some great landscape to look at as they climb mountains, glaciers, white water raft etc. My dark horse team came in 3rd.
  2. Agree on the last game The show was enjoyable in general.
  3. The thing is, I won't rewatch something I didn't care for, seems like a waste of time and if I end up still not liking it I'm gonna be pissed at myself for repeating the mistake of watching it.
  4. Problem is Yellowstone and it's spin offs already exist and he was the lead. Tough to get your boss to let you make a competing show.
  5. Who else deserved it individually? Hurts, ran for a td, passed for 2 tds over 220 yds, set a record for rush yards in SB by a QB with 72. Anyone watching knows the def won that game, but they did it as a group. LB int, CB pick 6, I think 4 separate guys had sacks. No one on the losing side deserved it for sure. It was Hurts by default.
  6. Watched The Menu. Really didn't care for it at all. It was listed as a comedy but I don't think I laughed once. Yes it's dark and has humorous parts, but a comedy? I just think the whole thing was pretty dumb. Takers, givers, blah blah blah for 90 min. Watched The Man from Toronto also. Also a comedy but this once at least had me chuckle a few times. Kevin Hart as a screw up who ends up mistaken for a hit man torturer of sort. I don't recommend it. It isn't horrible but it's also not worth watching unless you're bored.
  7. The thing about these shows that always boggles my mind is the "friends". You do not know these people, two weeks ago you had never met them before. You are there to win for you and your family, not them and their issues. Go home and explain to your wife why you decided to not play the game to win because you met this person and decided not to hurt their feelings. F that I'd have taken
  8. Rewatched The Martian today. Still an enjoyable movie. Really strong cast including a Sean Bean that lived the entire film.
  9. I don't love Jordan, I'm a Pistons fan, well, fair weather type fan. The NBA changed the rules so they could win. Now if you breathe on a superstar it's a tech.
  10. Most don't hate the Chiefs, they hate a consistent winner, while their team loses. When ever there is a "dynasty" the hate gets amped up. Prior to the Chiefs it was the Patriots getting all the calls and help. Before that was Dallas, Jerry pays the refs, the league wants Dallas to win etc. Normal fandom.
  11. I've never been a go to the bar and watch sports person. I am perfectly fine watching at home with wife and or alone. Also fine with watching w a group of friends we have. He has people over almost every Sunday so it gets real familiar. Now if Dallas and Detroit are playing at the same time on different channels then I stay home and watch Dallas. Also, if Dallas is sucking I will stay home and watch them because I'll be miserable and as a Dallas fan everyone else likes to remind you of it. Literally every other fan base likes to let you know your team lost. Even teams who have never even been to a SB and fans who don't know shit about shit... my PTSD kicking in
  12. Watched Flight Risk at the theatre over the weekend. It's exactly what you expect it to be. Three characters in small plane for 90% of the movie, one is a fugitive, one a charter pilot, and one FBI, who is bringing the fugitive back to be a witness. Actors all do pretty good jobs. Definitely don't need to see on the big screen, I went because I hadn't been in quite a while and needed a fix.
  13. Yes it is. We live in Michigan about 20 min from the Ohio border so a trip to the property is a solid 8 hour drive.
  14. Probably not too far from my wife's family's property in Baraga.
  15. Finished S2 of The Night Agent. It's not very good. There are so many dumb decisions made. Normally I can forgive that if the acting is good but that is also bad and the leads have zero chemistry IMO. S1 was a little better than this one.
  16. I pretty sure remember SB 16 San Fran and Cinci, I was 9, unless I'm just reliving highlights. For sure the next year and all after that.
  17. Just my opinion Lost, great first season, maybe even 2nd season and then it just got too convoluted and rarely gave resolution to anything. Dexter, as most have noted it was a dramatic drop and the finale was utter shit and an embarassment. Vikings, after about S3 or maybe it was 4, it was all down hill. GOT, I won't say it was great all the way through but overall was / is my favorite show or at least top 5. If the Dorne scenes/plot (not Oberyn) was deleted entirely and some of the fake drama with Sansa and Arya was gone I would have liked it more. Take that time and use it to show Dany's descent. It has several episodes that I can go back and watch by themselves and it's almost like rewatching a great action movie.
  18. Haven't missed one since I was like 12 and I'm old so like 40 of them now? These games went exactly how I didn't want it. I hate the eggles and don't want KC to win again. I choose the dark side and will let my hate fuel me to root meekly for KC. Strongly suspect I will spend most of the game playing cards and only hate watching the game. Oh, I do have to begrudgingly admit that Saquan was great again. Stupid Giants.
  19. Funny enough I am around Ep 11 now and it's getting a little better. Unfortunately it's gonna take a back seat until I finish The Night Agent S2, I'm a few episodes in and it's pretty good so far.
  20. Has anyone watched A Person of Interest? TV series from a while back, the gist is a computer was built to predict terrorism in US after 9/11 and the builder gets info from it on smaller cases and tries to help them. I've watched about half of the 1st season and wondering if it gets better? It seemed promising but it's turning into a procedural basically. Wondering if it's something to have in the background or if it gets better.
  21. Could be he wants to come back and get the ship righted, then hand pick his successor and move to front office? Or he is just addicted to coaching.
  22. Glenn to Jets. Probably bad for both of them
  23. As a lifelong Michigan fan this sucks. Grew up hating ND and still hating on them both. Find myself not rooting for either team but am the most ok with the B1G winning the natty.
  24. My rooting interest will be Bills/Washington then reluctantly KC and never eggles. Detroit was doomed when they lost that corner right off the bat. He was already like the 3rd off the street guy they had to use. My way too early prediction: If they are able to get back the flock of injured players and add another pass rusher or two (legit pass rushers) then I think next season they regress based on win total but get father in the playoffs.
