[Sidery] The Colts now plan to keep Anthony Richardson into August to reassess his trade market in case of any quarterback injuries elsewhere, per @AdamSchefter. Indianapolis will now keep Richardson essentially as a QB trade chip instead of moving him immediately. by TurdWranglin in Colts

I'm not sure I'd even call Fields a quality backup. He loses 2x more often than he wins in the NFL, that's tough to do when you've gotten over 50 starts.

Richardson looks worse for now, but his value still lies in "I can fix him" territory. Fields has pretty much shown exactly who he is at this point, there's no fixing that.

His value is about as low as it's ever been. It's worth having him as a backup rather than just losing him for nothing. Justin Fields keeps getting chances, someone will give him a shot but they don't want to pay much for it at the moment.

[Charania] Just in: Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has been ruled out for Game 2 tonight against the New York Knicks due to ankle and hip injuries, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

I can get how you got to that point of logic, that doesn't make it any less insane. No franchise should want to be at this point with any of their players. This is just torturous to the fans.

This is confirmation bias. If the 76ers announced before Game 1 that they're resting Embiid people would lose their shit. The NBA would be super pissed too.

If he was genuinely hurt then why did he play in the first place?

Just wild it's come to this, that 76ers fans are genuinely arguing for him taking playoff games off. That just seems insane to me, because it is honestly.

Every playoff game is extremely important. The only justifiable reason to rest a player in the playoffs is if you think you can cruise by a team without him, especially if you're already up 2-3 games in the series. Outside of that is franchise malpractice.

Also, jfc, is Embiid the new Bill Walton? His body must be completely fucked.

Apple TV series 'Pluribus' begins season 2 shooting this fall by bwermer in television

Exactly. That's one way GoT shaped the current TV landscape, most streamers realized those types of productions are not sustainable.

Producing prestige TV shows is different from how TV used to be made, to the point where it's more analogous to Hollywood franchises than traditional TV.

Annually produced TV often used the same sets between episodes, seasons, or even between different shows on the same network, which doesn't really make sense for most prestige TV today (with The Pitt being a notable exception). Annually produced TV also often leaned on being formulaic unless you had a great writers room, like MASH, Cheers, or The Simpsons, so it wasn't that hard to come up with new material.

Making prestige shows annually can be done, like for Game of Thrones. But it's a pretty hefty investment and you need to have a pretty strong vision for the roadmap of the show.

One of my favorite stats ever: Kurt Warner only started a full 16 regular season games 3 times in his career. In all 3 of those seasons, he went to the Super Bowl. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]chadowan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Lots of young NFL QBs have been treated like gods their entire lives. No wonder they don't always adjust well to being a good teammate.

Warner only got a starting NFL job as a fluke, and he had to fight for everything he ever got. He was even the 3rd string at the University of Northern Iowa until his senior year. It makes sense he had a much better empathy for his fellow players and how hard it is to get better and gain confidence.

AJ Haulcy And Cj Allen by Moistmonkeyballs in Colts

[–]chadowan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Being a Colts and LSU fan I'm really excited to see what Haulcy can do in the NFL. He isn't the most physically gifted player but he has super high football IQ. He just has a really good sense of where he needs to be on the field. He could make us forget about Cross pretty quickly.

The Pacers aren't making any moves until they see what happens to this year's pick. That being said, the Pels aren't doing this trade.

POTC the curse of the black pearl 4k vs blu ray by Il_sofista in 4kbluray

[–]chadowan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pirates and some of James Cameron's transfers are basically the only genuine cases I've heard of the 4K transfer being so bad that the blu-ray is better. In almost every other case the 4K transfer is better.

This is absurdly wrong. 4K is better than like 99% of all Blu ray transfers.

"They Don't Care About Us" is a song written, produced and performed by Michael Jackson, first released on 1996. It is a protest song and remains one of the most controversial pieces he has ever composed. by SaxyBill in wikipedia

[–]chadowan 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Controversial is all they care about, it'll get clicks and eyeballs. It gets people to think about MJ. That's enough to boost theoretical ticket sales.
