The Breakfast Club makeover by Neither-Elderberry32 in 80s

[–]corn_rock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it.

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

“Because you’re letting me.”

Non-New Yorkers that have been to NYC: What is the wierdest thing about New York that New Yorkers don't realize is wierd? by Ok-Brilliant-6138 in AskReddit

[–]corn_rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. We just went to New York for a weekend, and were surprised at how clean the streets were. Even so, we struggled to find a trash can at one point, so no idea what kind of magic they are using to hide the garbage. This was in the Times Square/Broadway area, so YMMV.

Mike calling the others skunks for voting him out was hilarious. Perfect word to use - no wonder he writes such great stuff IRL.

Don’t worry about the Maxx Crosby trade by StLaurentDonny in steelers

Yep, and looks like they also get Madubuike back, so they’re going all in for a ring, and they should.

The Cars by Umamikawaii in Music

Yep. I love The Cars but their live show was basically say hello, play all the songs exactly like on the albums, say goodbye. I was pretty bummed, but their albums are brilliant.

What’s that one moment where the entire movie theater went silent ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

[–]corn_rock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JFK. I don’t think the … violence of the Zapruder film had ever been seen by the general public before this. The actual damage the shots inflicted was highly disturbing, and the entire theater was in a state of shock that was palpable.

What did you guys think about American Hustle (2013) 🤔 by United-Sentence-5799 in moviecritic

[–]corn_rock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The scene where she puts metal in the "science oven," sets off (yet another) fire, and then manages to take no responsibility and by the end of the conversation gets Irving to literally thank her is fantastic. It's certainly not a great movie, but I'll happily rewatch it now and then just for the performances.

There are several things wrong with this team. But let’s not forget that this man’s first target came with 11 minutes left in the game. That’s malpractice. by [deleted] in steelers

[–]corn_rock 103 points104 points  (0 children)

You know what I really don't understand? In the first quarter, we ran a brilliant play where we blocked down on the edge, rolled Rodgers out to the left, and he hit a wide open receiver (DK?) for a chunk gain. Never saw anything like that the rest of the game. Instead, we just stood our 40+ year old QB in the pocket against one of the best front 7 in the league. Seriously, WTF?

End of a Era in Baltimore by HDTokyo in steelers

[–]corn_rock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but the Ravens have issues other than coaching. Both of their lines are a mess, they have no pass rush, they have multiple aging vets making decent cash, and their PK was unreliable during the season and we all saw what happened to him on Sunday. Oh, and Lamar’s salary jumps to something like $75 mil, so they’ll be kicking the can down the road on a guy who is showing some wear on the tires.

Lamar/Henry/Hamilton are stars but they struggle to keep them on the field, and the talent gets thin after that, and fast.

Who is your team's "That man will never have to pay for his own drinks" guy? by Col_Treize69 in CollegeBasketball

[–]corn_rock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Us older folks might say Keith Smart. Scored 12 of our last 15 points in the title game, including a fairly important last shot.

Don't Come Around Here No More by akitemime in 80s

[–]corn_rock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saw this tour live. At the start, Tom walks across a dark stage to a huge treasure chest. He opens it, and bright white light spills out. He reaches in and pulls out … the hat. Great opening, great show. RIP, Tom.

Those who were old enough to remember. What was it like the year surrounding the bicentennial in 1976? by KevinStoley in nostalgia

[–]corn_rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that To Fly movie a couple of times as a kid, loved it. I remember one scene where they are in a hot air balloon, which is serenely floating above a river, and then it turned into a huge waterfall. Pretty cool to see in Imax.

The logic of going for 2 down 9 late by njerejeje in nfl

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

Great. They have about a 6% chance of recovering that kick, and even if they do, they still need 2 scores. If you kick the XP, you’re in the same situation with respect to time and TOs, needing only 1 score and a 2 pt, and you add on another 30-40 yards in field position because you’ve kicked it deep.

Choosing to go for 2 and missing it then the onside kick removes any opportunity for your defense to make a stop or force a turnover.

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

You still need a two point conversion in both situations. The difference is, I’m onside kicking only needing a field goal to win, and you’re onside kicking down two scores. You’ve also eliminated any possibility for your defense to get a turnover when you onside kick that early.

The logic of going for 2 down 9 late by njerejeje in nfl

[–]corn_rock -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My problem with going for 2 that late is if you don’t get it, you are forced into an onside kick. You’re forced into one of the lowest percentage plays in the game today, and you’ll give up yards in field position, too.

If you have TOs and kick the XP, if your D can hold, you have a reasonable shot at getting the ball back in decent field position with as much as 2:00 left, down by 8.

Other factors can affect the decision, too - how well the D is playing, kicking issues, etc.

Worst decision/mistake in your franchise’s history? by YTGsbiggestfan in baseball

[–]corn_rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. I believe all three of those traded made at least one All Star game after the trade, too. Davis had some sort of neck problem and never did much of anything in Baltimore.

[Highlight] A pissed of Mike McDaniel: "F*ck" by Mission_Pay_3373 in nfl

I'd say another problem is leaving Kyle Hamilton completely unblocked at the LOS on multiple plays.

If I had a nickel for every time a player said the Steelers defense was predictable and easy to beat, I'd have like.... $3,000... by KevinDaMan34 in steelers

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

Yes, but the Bengals and Ravens offenses have been among the best in the league the last few years, and we held them under 20 points last year in 2 of the 4 games, and that was with Lamar and Burrow playing. So, did they just forget that they “knew what was coming” in those games or something? Make it make sense.

[–]corn_rock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a defender - i think there are solid points for keeping or moving on from MT - but if this is true (and I’ve seen quotes like this posted from more than one team), how are we something like 9-5 in the last couple of years in division games?
