I thought the pilot was terrible, but the series got progressively better until the finale, which was another disaster. Its not a great show, but there’s some talent in there. $3.7 million for a book written by someone a lot of people hate seems strange, though.

I was came home about midnight one night from being out drinking… pulled into the row of townhouses, saw strange cars in my parking space. Got excited because I assumed my roommate had people over (potentially girls) and I parked on the street ran up to the house and pulled a Kramer as I realized the door was locked. (in the key switching episode)… I began banging on the door furiously, again, excited about the fact that in my head I knew there was a party going down inside. After about 10 quick knocks, I noticed the number on the door was NOT MY HOUSE. Thankfully I got out of there before anyone actually opened the door.

The SNF game was pretty damn entertaining. Was going back and forth between half-innings of the Bal-NYY game until the Orioles imploded (got the winning run on second with no outs, didn’t get him home, gagged in ninth).
October 8th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
lot of blowouts or near blowouts, so unless your team was winning it was hard to stay dialed in.
unfortunately i’ve only been able to watch the first 15 minutes of the first homeland episode so far. at this point i may do what i did last season and just stockpile the first 6-8 episodes and do a marathon.
October 8th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
I’ve tried on more than one occasion to watch Girls on HBO. It’s kind of unwatchable.
October 8th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
David Cross is an analrapist
October 8th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
The Adam character is great, and there’s an episode midway through the season where she discovers her serious ex-boyfriend is/was gay that’s genuinely hilarious. Overall, though, way too many hipster in-jokes and whining that bog down whatever narrative the show is trying to spin.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Watching the end of the Chargers/Saints game made me long for the days of the competent replacement refs.

The only way I’m going to be excited for the Arrested Development renewal is if Michael Cera dies during production. Third season started to dip in quality and I can’t stand looking at his face now, very worrying.
Mila Kunis was also on the cover of GQ’s “Comedy” issue last year. Her publicist works hard.

It was the most polarizing show of the year, but yes, you’re the only one. I don’t understand wording a question this way. If you know you’re not the only one, then why say that? And if you truly think you are, why would you announce it in a way that’s almost bragging about it? I’d re-think some things, like maybe I was the one who was wrong.
Personally I like Girls for what it is and isn’t. It doesn’t have to be the best show on television or for every episode to be outstanding. I can still appreciate it.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
I get why people like Girls, I just don’t have enough room in my viewing schedule for annoying white privilege, as I still watch Maddow every night.

Is Happy another Dirt moniker?
October 8th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
I said that a few weeks ago. They have stretches where you say “How can anyone stop these guys?” followed by stretches of weird, weird playcalling. And their D is soft.
I love how McCarthy and co. insist on running the ball up the middle with an o-line that was clearly built to pass protect. And they can’t even do that well.

October 8th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Coach Dale didn’t say “Just keep doing what we’ve always done.” The hand he was dealt was a team that could shoot the rock, but we all know there’s more to the game than shooting – there’s fundamentals and defense. Coach Dale taught the five individual players to function as one single unit. Around that same time, Jimmy made his return and Coach adjusted his game plan to suit the players he had. Hoosiers is about adapting to your circumstances, not continuing to do things that don’t work.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:42 AM

Your butt, it hurts. It might be simpler to say “It didn’t suspend disbelief for me.”

I love Hans Zimmer’s work. I really do. But Clint Mansell is the best.
I like Jan Hammer, if for nothing else than the Miami Vice soundtrack.

“Trickle-down passing offense?” Didn’t think Sanchez’s arm was that bad.

I’d like to thank the #BillsMafia tag for existing. I browsed it for 5 minutes last night. It will make you feel better about your lot in life.

I heard Jimmy Chitwood was a liberal-loving, baby-killing, weed-smoking, godless Obama supporter who went door to door signing up poor minorities to register to vote.

Yeah, but at least he had RG3 to make fun of. For some reason, that angry fossil hates our favorite Subway spokesman.

I hope you guys talking politics can save some venom for the upcoming Football versus Baseball ratings post.

He’s directing some kung-fu thriller called Man With the Iron Fists that also stars Russell Crowe. The red band trailer is gloriously insane. And he’s scoring the whole thing. Soundtrack features Black Keys, Wu Tang, Kanye, and Wiz Khalifa.

seriously tho…legalizing marijuana and getting rid of the DEA is right in line with the GOP’s agenda. wish they realized it instead of pandering to oxymoronic albeit politically correct moral platonic ideal.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
I distinctly remember last season JPQ tweeting something that very closely resembled “Thanks, I’ll take the Ivy League Irish kid over the dog killer as my QB every Sunday. Go Bills.” It was shortly after this that our Twitter relationship died.

Rex – Are you going to direct the venom at the outlets reporting the ratings, the ratings themselves, the fans, or someone else?
October 8th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Was Coach Dale still using the “4 passes before shooting” rule at the end of the movie? NO – because he made adjustments, thereby disproving your lame assertion.

you should have seen the selection of grilled meats from Saturday. it was a thing of beauty.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Well, it’s line with Ron Paul’s agenda. The mainstream GOP, not so much. Legalizing weed would bankrupt the prison-for-profit industry that the GOP has helped foster in the last three decades.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Of all the comments ever made here, this anti-Kunis stance is the first one to ever shock me to the core. The hell is wrong with you people?!

Right here with you Wally. I had about two rum shots too many celebrating Michigan and Detroit Tigers victories on Saturday.

As golfercraig said to me yesterday on Twitter re: Kunis – “I love my wife and children but I would throw them in a woodchipper for full weekend of destruction.”

That was a quote from another commenter, Jason. I only added the animated gif part.

The Browns are a treasure. But seriously, Trent Richardson is a monster. He should get 30 carries a game.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
I really thought the Browns were going to do it for a second. Just a second, though.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
In a season where there is no hope of contention, I would advise against this. Try and prolong his career.
October 8th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
How about, “Don’t act like you are 25 when you aren’t. It will kick your ass for a week.”

Ratings are very important to me as a sports fan because _________.
… they illustrate which teams move the needle.
needle move = IMPORTANT
As someone who has supported bad teams that no one outside our immediate area would give a crap about, I can tell you that ratings are not important to fans. They’re important to network people and advertisers – and given most big-money advertisers make deals with the leagues and not the teams, it’s kit really that big of a deal.
If Bud Light isn’t the official beer of the NFL, would they suffer from fans switching over to MLB?
October 8th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Also, you end up looking like this.
October 8th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
You watch things based on needle movement? Oh.

I’ve been a Notre Dame fan since I was knee high to Spence’s mom’s vulva and even I think Rudy is one of the worst movies ever.

There is a not so subtle difference between what Hernia said and what you typically imply with a ratings post, though.

I had a case of inmate “rape” at SCI Rockview one where one inmate claimed that another raped him while he was sleeping and that he only woke up halfway through. It was a scorned lover situation but man if that guy was telling the truth he’d have to be the heaviest sleeper ever.
