Roundup: Allen Iverson Wants to Return to the NBA, Eddie Murphy Wants to Return to Standup & Brian Scalabrine is Ballin’
Salma Hayek double-header… strangely addicting… if you live in upstate New York, save this dog … Occupy Portland has a sewage problem … fake maple syrup laws … chicks with guns… an interview with geek Goddess, Felicia Day … Occupy Oakland fallout … people explain where they grew up in Michigan with their hands … Steve Jobs spam … Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend is a hot model – I was shocked too…

Should helmet-to-helmet hits be reviewable?
like that story says, those flags can cost teams games. And the Pollard one was some bullshit, as many others have been.
But do I think there needs to be more lengthy game stoppages, no. I don’t think the on the field referee needs to review them. Maybe a 3 person panel upstairs, including a former player, a Nazi sympathizer, and a half naked woman.
October 27th, 2011 at 8:28 AM
a Nazi sympathizer
Would Pat Buchanan be available for this for every game during the season?
October 27th, 2011 at 8:29 AM
Longer games means more beer for me. Review that shit.
October 27th, 2011 at 8:36 AM
Remember all the hand wringing that the new automatic reviews of all touchdowns was going to slow the game down? I agree, someone upstairs reviews all of those, and buzz down when the ref gets it wrong.

Since so very few people live in the U.P., you generally only have to use one hand. It also works better if you are actually wearing a mitten.

Wonder what sort of apology Kraft would want for that happening
I heard (and this may not be true, since I heard myself say it) that Robert Kraft made Gronkowski act out every single thing that he and Bibi Jones did, but with Gronkowski as Jones and Vince Wilfork standing in as Gronkowski.
They were going to use Haynesworth, but he couldn’t “go,” according to my source.
October 27th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
at risk of not seeing your deeply imbedded sarcasm HTML code, that was one of the best episodes last year, and i still laughed my ass off seeing it again.

not helmet to helmet, but leading with the head should be. it should be like the old facemask rules: intentional or accidental.

on both sides of the ball, not just defense. been seeing more offensive players this year lead with their head when a defender comes in trying to get the penalty.

I watched Under Seige 2 last night and it is clear that action movies used to be more bad ass. Nowadays a rated R action flick doesn’t have much killing of the guys that are engaged in fights with the protagonist (or at least its not clearly shown) but damn in Under Seige 2, Seagal kills everyone he fights. Breaking necks, suffocation, shooting, you name it, that Indian wasn’t fucking around.
October 27th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Everytime I see a commercial for it, I think, they must not be showing the super funny stuff. Everytime I stop on the show for a few minutes, I think I must have missed the super funny stuff.
as much as I thought it was a really good show the first year, there were some terrible episodes. But I liked the gay guys plenty. Then, in the second year, they just kept doing the same stuff over and over with all the characters, especially the gay guys. So it started to stop being funny. And the middle girl got ugly.
Then, this year, it’s even more of the same.
I’m glad they’re endeavoring to keep the jiggling in, but they have even stooped as low as the nipple hardening trick on Julie Bowen to keep my interest.
But they don’t have any fresh scenarios to put the characters in, outside of these hackneyed sitcom staples. And they never mention how a real estate broker can live in such a nice house with a stay at home mom.

I’ll probably flip around and catch bits of the Rutgers/WVA game. Rooting for WVA so Syracuse can move into a first place tie. will mostly be watching baseball and the Sabres/Blue Jackets game
October 27th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I couldn’t care less how long football games are. But if a baseball game hits 4 hours, I’ll start bitching. And I like baseball.
I like a football game to move along at a steady pace. I get really frustrated in college because they never, ever run the clock near the end. It’s always stopped.
As for baseball, I don’t watch it, although I’ve watched nearly this whole world series, off and on.
October 27th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I also appreciate how the older action movies will actually show you all the action (even if it turns out to be cheesy). Action movie fights now are more about quick-cutting the footage so you can’t tell what the fuck is going on but hey that guy must be whippin somebody’s ass…I guess.

Arrested Development or Modern Family?
You know people who have actually compared the two or rather thought MF was better than AD?
probably some “middle americans” will think that. There’s tons more straight forward humor in Modern Family, and I’m sure if somebody was looking for it, they could find lots of liberal tripe they were being force fed in Arrested.

AD is really good.. if you watch it to get the inside jokes (much the brilliantly written but horribly premised “Better Off Ted”). I didn’t think AD was that funny for the first half dozen episodes or so, where Modern Family is a little easier to watch a single episode.

I don’t think anyone here is surprised at the above statement.
Dirt watches a lot of tv. Not a judgement call, just something I’ve noticed.
I dont’ work, and my son sleeps a lot, although now with this school, I have to keep him awake 2 days a week in the afternoon. That may drive me insane.
October 27th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
Completely agree. Recent action movies will leave you 10 seconds after something happens saying to yourself ‘wait, did he just barrel roll a car into a crane hook to remove the bomb from the bottom of the car’
October 27th, 2011 at 9:33 AM
Burn Notice is awesome because it takes off maybe 2 months between seasons. That’s it. That show has to be on the 8th season now.

Yep. I’ve bailed on every new show I tried this year plus Walking Dead.
I don’t know how or why you quit The Walking Dead. It’s the absolute perfect show to watch and complain about. It brings all of us together (except Wilhelm). I suspect even Nick W will have turned on it, but is afraid to say.
We need this, Dr Tom.

October 27th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
yeah, I think he has. there is talk that Knile is improving pretty rapidly and that he wants to come back to play the last couple games of the year, but mainly the LSU game. I don’t think it is a good idea, especially with the OL they have now. waste a year that could be used on a red-shirt, not to mention the injury risk.
October 27th, 2011 at 9:39 AM
But wouldn’t their target audience be at High School football games at that time, since it’s a Friday night?

You know way too much about the production of Burn Notice. Ever notice that show is pretty much a live action GI Joe. No one really ever dies.

wilhelm read the comic, so he’s got a little more credibility in terms of giving the show rope. And you really tend toward strident defense of a show rather than any rationality. Then, you abruptly get fed up, quit, and join right in with the trashing.

I thought about reading the graphic novels. They’re only like $10 per volume at Amazon. “Strident defense” is much too strong a description. But I don’t have to, nor do I feel like defending myself on all of this.

Yeah, they should’ve asked Vetri to come on (probably the best cook in Philly, ever better than Garces) because he smoked Symon handidly on ICA.
October 27th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
i recommend it, some libraries have them, actually, due to the popularity of the TV show.
rick comes off as being incredibly naive when it starts out, so is everyone else just essentially waiting for help to arrive, not wanting to leave camp in case help comes, that sort of thing.
so i guess that’s why i like the show better than most, i see what was originally written and it’s an improvement on what it was.
October 27th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
It took two episodes to give up on that one. The pilot was bleh. But I gave it another chance simply because it’s an AMC Original. Didn’t happen.

Do you know what happens to human skin when it’s in the water for prolonged periods? Flesh will easily tear away from the body within a day or two of over-saturation. Not to mention all the critters in water that will enter the body through the ears and nose and eyes and start to decompose the brain.

And sorry, but I don’t buy the “zombies live in water” theory that Max used in World War Z
Underwtare zombies date back at least to Lucio Fulci’s fabulous Zombi, which features a zombie-vs.-shark fight that SyFy can only dream of replicating.
The underwater zombies are also used in Romero’s very underrated Land of the Dead.
October 27th, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Yeah, it’s pretty gross. Didn’t he describe the water walkers as much more decomposed? I know some scenes dealt with them as they fell into the water so obviously those specific narratives had nothing to do with the decomposition.
