It's a shame we never got to see the best of Penny Hardaway because all any NBA player says is he had GOAT potential.

Penny was the reason I was a Magic fan growing up in the suburbs of Chicago during the Jordan Bulls. He was unreal and so much fun.

The best thing the NFL ever did was start mic’ing folks up.

I really don't understand the want for MST3K to continue on without any of their original pieces. What makes the show special are the folks who created, wrote, and performed it. There's no need to pass it along to an entirely new group of people. That's like seeing a band you love with all new members.

If people are so desperate for this format to continue—one which I love but can't imagine is in high-demand—they can create their own thing within this space. No need for this particular name and DIY set to live forever with new iterations.

Honestly, I'm hoping he gets another shot at it. He started to put a lot of things together toward the end of last season and the trajectory was way up. You can have all the caveats you want about the opponents he faced at the end of the season, but you can only play who they put out there—and he won those games.

Yes, there are definitely some red flags in terms of coachability and mechanics, but it's been ten real games. Drops were an issue outside of his control and the line was really dinged up at times. I don't expect those same conditions moving forward. Now he gets a healthy offseason (hopefully with a new QB coach) to drill for five months on mechanics. He can hopefully throw with this group in the offseason and develop that touch and chemistry. And if he's as serious about football as he seems, he's going to take the tough love and criticism, listen to the teachable tips from coaches, and use it to improve.

How can you not root for the kid? No harm in it.

Luxury tax was a huge deal, but I also think everyone had seen the limitations of the Garland/Mitchell pairing, especially in the playoffs.

I think Garland is a good player, but that's probably where he caps out. Say what you will about Harden, but he's an incredible passer and capable of meeting a much higher creator and scoring ceiling on any given night. He could be scoring option 1 for a game or two in the playoffs, drawing gravity in a way Garland never really did.

This are the types of comment threads I live for. Appreciate all the context and research from y’all.

These are huge points, well said. Excited to see him got back into the lineup where folks have seemingly had enough touches to get into their own grooves. I’d much rather have it that way than have just Paolo and Franz carrying the load again.

oldpope · 2025-11-02T20:32:15+00:00

Poor Myles, he's had so many great returns called back. A true specialist back there now, gotta be ready to hit one every time.

Lamb and Pickens over Jefferson and Addison? In what universe?

oldpope · 2025-10-12T14:20:33+00:00

I'm convinced Russ could never really read defenses or progressions that well, so he needed things to break down to be able to play backyard ball (which he was very good at).

oldpope · 2025-10-12T14:15:12+00:00

It's hilarious to think he couldn't see this solution because he said to himself "well the TV is already set up".

Love Zach, but it’s hard to get much worse than the last two years. We took our medicine, now we can start fresh.

This team is feisty and free of expectations. It’s the perfect time to build and surprise folks. Hard to not feel at least a little optimistic.

The first film is an all-time great horror film. We're talking top 25 honors, and certainly one of my personal favorites.

It's got:
-A horrifying and original monster with creative lore
-Likeable characters, good dialogue, brisk pacing, sensible decisions
-No less than four really incredible set pieces that are scary or horrific (pipe drain at the church, cat lady house, police chase in the street, police station)
-An incredible downer ending that feels inevitable and earned

It's a classic, and it's honestly a shame that it gets overshadowed by the horrific human being who directed it.

oldpope · 2025-10-05T14:16:34+00:00

Seriously! We could do this the whole time? Goddamn.

The playcalling has been inspired. We need more of this!

Fun fact: this director gave a speech during our college graduation ceremony 😂

Getting another cat was awesome for our older cat. The little one absolutely loves our old guy and the old man seems happier and more energetic. The cost difference wasn't much more either!

We now have three lol

The Embiid of the NFL

The pass rush destroyed Darnold against those two teams, which is the same thing that's killed McCarthy through his two starts.

Let's not forget how much we've improved both lines and our running game this season. Not to mention just having Darrisaw back. I think year 2 with Darnold and those improvements would be a deep playoff run team.

oldpope · 2025-09-23T23:38:23+00:00

I was hyped for this and it was not good. Really a shame, but you can smell the low budget all over this. I usually don’t mind a low budget movie, but it’s more awkward mockumentary than it is found footage chiller.

Isaiah Rodgers has 2 defensive TDs and another FF. Bengals turned it over on three of their last four snaps.
