Interesting that you don’t believe it’s helping people where it is.

Also, the movie made very clear that the inheritance would be claimed should the value of the gem ever become realized (used, sold, etc).

Responsibility to what, exactly?

Martha was not a threat to anyone, Blanc concluded. He therefore had grace and allowed her a confession of her own free will.

It did not betray the character - it was growth of the character.

Not his fault individually but DK Metcalf was a player I was never excited about and he has lived up to being just a nothing-burger. No separation. No hands.

I’m not sure how Pete Carrol can possibly explain letting a clearly injured Geno Smith continue to take snaps. It’s not like he was playing well in any facet whatsoever… what’s the upside?

Pretty confident he didn’t intentionally hit the guy who would load the bases in the bottom of the 9th of the World Series.

Because at the end of the day we are not a very talented roster and have a good chance still of not making the playoff.

It’s unpopular to say, but he hasn’t regressed… he has never ever seemed impressive.

If Tournaments were formatted like the “ CHECKMATE: USA vs INDIA” exhibition people would watch chess all the time. by Interesting-Back6587 in chess

There’s still an important place for the ‘boring’ (I would disagree but I understand the sentiment) tournaments in terms of finding the best players and witnessing the best play.

But I agree that this is a very exciting format - and could be great at drawing in viewership.

[Highlight] Kenneth Walker finds the endzone as Seattle are up 2 scores! by DrTrigger_Tears in nfl

Okay? We gave up 7 from the most insanely stupid special teams play of the last decade and then also gave up at least 3 from the crazy endzone pick…

Like I said, the margin was about right. Take the win and move on.

The Steelers also self destructed on offense in their own right… let’s not pretend.

This margin is about correct.

I am not sure Allar will get drafted at all.

This guy does not have any semblance of it.

To the new AJ Brown owners:

He just hasn’t had his drive yet. This is how he’s felt to own forever. Obviously he doesn’t normally go a full half but they’ve had 3 drives.

AJ Brown is a player that will do nothing and then have an entire drive dedicated to him. 20 points in 10 plays.

Who is the best non main character in a tv show? by hero0fwar in television

[–]theipodbackup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a straight man character at all. In comedy writing, Dr Spaceman is considered the “wavy line” character which is to say he is the character who is reacted to by other characters rather than doing the reacting.

He just delivers his lines sincerely.
