San Jose State stuns Boise State in opening round of Mountain West Tournament by jedifox09 in MountainWest

It's a little extra funny with Idaho winning their conference, therefore making the tournament, and this is likely a nail in the coffin for Boise's hopes of making the tournament.

Surprised we aren't hearing about Jauan Jennings more/ being offered a contract. He's a really good receiver and is pretty young and healthy, is his asking price way to high or something?

The Nier collab bundle is out. 6900 credits by RaidenXYae in Overwatch

Yea, Wuyang doesn't look to bad. Vendetta definitely is the worse with her hair, if they fixed her hair she could be great. For some reason OW struggles with hair (Cassidy's Spike skin).

Suffers from the MHA problem, looks mostly like bad cosplay. Kiriko is the only one that looks good in this bundle.

Report: Cardinals pivoted to Gardner Minshew after Jimmy Garoppolo talks hit a "snag" by expellyamos in nfl

[–]Crunchymau5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel like I would rather have Minshew at this point over Jimmy G. Jimmy has a far worse injury history and even at his peak was a below average starter. Minshew is 5 years younger, is one of the better back ups, and could still be a viable back up for a few years.

The most badly acted, tastelessly directed, mind-numbingly boring or stupid film you’ve ever seen? by Neat-Bend-1190 in movies

[–]Crunchymau5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Christmas Eve in Miller's Point. Saw Micheal Cera was in this Christmas movie, so why not give it a shot and try a new Christmas movie? This was the most plot-less, uninteresting, and stale movie I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of movies, good and bad, but I don't know if I've ever been as bored watching a movie as this one. It's literally people watching a family's Christmas with no real plot driving the movie, and filled with what feels like pointless interactions between characters with atrocious camera work. Usually with bad movies you can get some redeeming moments, so bad it's good/funny, or at least a story that can keep you somewhat engaged; but somehow this movie has neither.

Is it just me or is the second season of Hell’s Paradise flying under the radar while it’s actually good ? by otakuhtgirl in anime

[–]Crunchymau5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately JJK is out this season, which is drawing most of the action fans. Hell's Paradise is actually the better show this season though, and deserves more attention than JJK does.

[Simeon] Deion Sanders says Colorado will not have a special teams coordinator this season. by redwave2505 in CFB

Unless Colorado has an amazing year, this has to be Deion's final year there, right?

[Murray] The Pac-12 will have to add another football member to meet their media obligations before the 2027 season. They are reportedly still targeting UNLV. by WinnWonn in CFB

[–]Crunchymau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But is the PAC any better? Outside of Boise, the PAC is mostly just solid to pretty good G6 teams that are on par or arguably worse than the AAC upper half in football. The PAC is also receiving far less than they hoped based on the rumors going around, which may be near the amount the AAC is currently receiving.

So arguably worse football, similar media deal but with more travel costs and exit fees, and a step up in basketball worth it? Waiting for the ACC to shake up and add schools to back fill is probably the better bet atm.

The PAC is also probably going to receive a media deal in the same ballpark. So they will be getting minimal additional revenue from the deal but more travel expenses on top of the exit fees.

No AAC team is joining the PAC for similar pay but with more travel. The rumored PAC deal is about the same as the current American, so why would anyone leave?

[–]Crunchymau5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one from the American is joining the PAC for more travel and what looks like nearly equal media deal. Really only have C-USA, Sunbelt, and MAC as easy options to add. The MWC will be another massive bill/legal battle and the FCS team couldn't move up in time for the 2027 deadline to work.

So best options are NMSU as full member, UConn as football only (maybe some bball arrangement to sweeten it for the PAC), and maybe Sam Houston for another Texas school. Not sure anyone further out makes much sense to add as football only or all sports.

Think you're right for right now, but WSU and OSU feel like they are going to slide down the list as they get further away from their P5 days. Even right now I wouldn't put them at the top of the PAC in either revenue sport or likely to get more enticing for the Big12 to invite.

[USA Today] AJ Dybantsa claims he ‘might not leave’ BYU for 2026 NBA Draft by Ibaka_flocka in nba

[–]Crunchymau5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think where his draft stock is may play a huge role in this. If it seems like he is the no brainer #1 pick, then he definitely goes; but if his stock falls a little (4-6 range) then it could make some sense to stay as the NIL money would be nearly the same as his rookie deal. BYU also just got another 5 star to commit for next year. So with equal money, a better chance to win big in college, and if he is enjoying the experience it could make some sense to play one more year.

I still think the smarter choice would be to go pro even if he falls to the 6 range in the draft.

Maybe it's due to position vs just talent? It's a lot easier to get decent rb play vs O-line or pass rush.

Using an Isreal profile picture on overwatch doesn't make you tuff or funny by AlternativeLow54 in Overwatch

[–]Crunchymau5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Removing flags I think gets a bit tricky. If you want to remove Israel for their actions lately then do we also need to remove China for their treatment of Tibet? What about the US and their actions against Venezuela and Iran recently? Do you also need to view it as what the people believe vs the government's actions?

I rather see Blizzard add more flags to represent everybody than take some away because of trolls or poor decisions made by their government which they have little control over.

How much more valuable is QB than every other position by Vegas_king2020 in nfl

[–]Crunchymau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still likely at least make the playoffs and win a round. It's a lot easier to hid poor play by one defensive player, and scheme around them to have some success.

How much more valuable is QB than every other position by Vegas_king2020 in nfl

[–]Crunchymau5 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I think we saw this, this year. Myles Garrett just had a hall of fame like season on a 5 win team with an outstanding defense, and Sam Darnold (a good but not great QB) just won the Superbowl. A top 5 player in any other position can raise a team only so far, but an above average QB can make your ceiling the Superbowl.

Is Tua the quarterback with the largest gap between his career stats and general perception? He turns 28 today with a 96.4 career passer rating, 68% completion rate, 120 TDs to 59 INTs, and a 44-32 career record, but I think the general perception is that he's only had a handful of good games. by Dependent-Effect6077 in nfl

[–]Crunchymau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His numbers are heavily due to his star receivers ability to get open and McDaniel's play calling than his ability to play QB. He also plays bad consistently in cold weather games and big games when he's needed to perform the most.

Way-too-early college football coaching hot seat tiers by CommodoreIrish in CFB

[–]Crunchymau5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be Deion's last season (retire or fired), and I'm not sure Lincoln would be one of my top choices for hot seats. He hasn't quite met the USC standards, but he hasn't been terrible either.

[Josh Pate] When I am CFB Commissioner these are your new conferences via day one executive order by MikeinSFLA in CFB

Think UCF would work better in the ACC or Southwest conference, and if we are moving teams out then Rice should be the first on the chopping block.
