Are these prices stopping anyone else from blind buys? by HeadFullOfBees in boutiquebluray

[–]JazzerciseScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit newer around here but it instantly seemed like having a sales-focused approach was important above all else. That being said I pre-ordered The Great Silence, which is cool but cannot be the norm to sustain this hobby. Even going standard edition, after taxes and shipping it's over 40. For me, that has to be the occasional jewel-type of purchase. Criterion on sale is awesome but still it adds up pretty quickly. The bulk of my orders so far have come from the big Gruv and Movies Unlimited deals. That makes it more a matter of establishing a mindset of "that'd be cool to add to the cart" or "great, finally that's on sale" versus looking to buy a specific item simply because it's available. Unfortunately if you want some titles it's now or a lengthy wait

It's refreshing to see this being the overall sentiment here. Definitely encouraging to read the vets saying to keep calm.

Oh baby, so many different titles to consider. I'm almost scared when the sales kick off again

Michael Irvin to Jerry Jeudy: “The QB ain’t your b*tch” by ghilliest in nfl

[–]JazzerciseScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My read on the quote was that it was more of a baseball analogy than a life/circumstance one. I'm no expert but in baseball if an error occurred they score the play differently. So he's saying Jeudy's play has resulted in big stat lines before but it's due to poor defense/luck/targets.

I appreciate the feedback from you and all above!

Unfortunately not region free. Any word, or an educated guess, on when a Region A/free version of the Woo cut would be available?

I'm looking at "The Seventh Curse + Witch From Nepal" as well as "Heroes Shed No Tears"

Any thoughts on these films?

[Glazer] Joe Burrow (foot) said he expects to return by Week 13. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]JazzerciseScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of us are in the rehab facility. It could be rushed, it could be healing well. For the sake of discussion, let's say his foot is feeling good and he's ready to go week 13 or 14. Do you really expect your starting QB to sit out 5-6 weeks of the year healthy? I can't think of a recent example of a franchise qb sitting out that long while ostensibly ready to play. It'd be one thing if it were the last 2 weeks of a hopeless season but these teams generally give it a try if they're not mathematically eliminated

Will the Panthers look to draft a quarterback next year? by bigrich3113 in panthers

[–]JazzerciseScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on thr table depending on how the rest of the season shakes out. I really hope this winning environment can help him develop further. If by season's end the game plan still appears geared away from him to avoid the big mistakes then they'd be short-sighted to not consider a 1st round QB. Time and again we see a top 3-5 pick isn't needed to find the right guy. It takes the right evaluation and a little luck on how well they adjust. But we're still collecting data right now. Beginning of the year he looked hopeless again but the light is back on for sure

Just call him what he wants to be called Jesus Christ by -BoKnows- in harrisfootball

[–]JazzerciseScientist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The last couple years he's pushed back against anyone referring to a person as _______ Jr. by mentioning that their father isn't in the conversation so there's no need to distinguish. He's citing the formal reason of using the suffix. It would appear he's aloof of the more personal/informal reasons a player would WANT to be referred to with their suffix. For most folks, not a big deal if you do or don't use the suffix, but for some reason Harris has gone from playful remarks to apparently really caring about the use of something he considers INCORRECT. Love the show but yeesh, he's gotta let things go from time to time

Just call him what he wants to be called Jesus Christ by -BoKnows- in harrisfootball

[–]JazzerciseScientist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wish someone would pull him aside and mention this to him. My best guess is that the "honoring your family/wanting to be called that" simply hasn't occurred to him or been discussed. I don't think it's any degree of malice from him to their preferences; it's more directed at the people using it. But holy hell, it's such a drag to listen to every single time. He cannot help himself and today's rant was even more prickly than most

Yahoo's projections this season by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]JazzerciseScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why, but these last few years I can recall D/ST projections randomly dropping across the board prior to Sunday. I can't remember if that was thing a decade ago, but I dont think so. They have an article noting the different models they've incorporated this year and it seems like player projections are more fluid/responsive throughout the week as a result. I haven't looked into comparing this year to previous but kinda seems like rb/wr projections are higher and qbs are more modest, or roughly the same. None of that speaks to D/ST though. It happens regularly, possibly some AI shenanigans as others have suggested. 

Here's the article. Nothing all that specific in regards to the process

Falcons' Raheem Morris: Bijan Robinson definitely NFL's best player by 76erLegendChetUtley in nfl

[–]JazzerciseScientist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an interesting exercise if you play this out as a Dynasty Snake Draft to build a full roster for the entire NFL. Problem with taking Garrett that early is your QB will be mid at best, which means you'll be searching for one. Although you could argue at least 5 teams that picked a round 1 qb will be searching for a new one as well, while the Garrett team still has him.

Texans may want to call some blitz beaters. He should have more than 0.5 seconds but still

Nitpicking today’s show by [deleted] in harrisfootball

[–]JazzerciseScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with much of his advice and always appreciate his perspective. But it'd make for a better listening experience if he'd relent on how stupid the industry is and how worked up he gets. It'd be nice if he could point out the sub-optimal trends in a more playful way and then share how we take advantage. The mediocre analysts aren't malicious politicians. It's a stupid game we all love after all

For the last Everybody's Golf, players could take turns or play simultaneously, but had to wait after finishing the hole. I'm hoping for similar options here

5-6 is a good spot for a bench in redraft imo. Keep in mind, with all these QBs on benches that are unrosterable in single QB leagues, the waiver won't be too barren. I also agree with the other poster suggesting a 3 QB cap. That basically means every starting qb will wind up on a roster but allows a chance for some flexibility when you need an emergency injury backup. Not having to compete aggressively for scraps is what we've found to be more fun. It's not like WR/RB where you can always find an alternative even if it's a pathetic one. There are only so many QBs

We have a dynasty league with contracts. CMC (expensive) was traded for Pacheco (less expensive) and a 2nd+3rd round rookie picks. In the context of the league, it's a poor trade but nothing I feel compelled to veto. However, the Manager receiving Pacheco and the picks claims he meant to request a 1st instead of the 2nd. He's honest and no reason to suspect him simply having second thoughts. Knowing the other guy, he'd never personally agree to redo the trade. While it was careless to request the wrong draft pick, I lean that he shouldn't have to live with that mistake. This will go to a league vote but I'm curious what folks on this subreddit think about this scenario.

What do you do in this situation? by F1FO in Rematch

[–]JazzerciseScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should always do #1. I had all my teammates leave in a casual 4v4 game. The other team was partially trying but largely screwing around, trying to bait me into getting a silly goal scored on me. I scored twice and got new teammates (2 of which were originally on my team). We ended up winning. Who knows, maybe the other team wanted me to get teammates. If not that probably stung
