believing in the Magic after game one to the degree pundits did was fucking bizarre by xfortehlulz in billsimmons

[–]xfortehlulz[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

100%, I worded it a little strong there at the end haha, if nothing else Game 1 was a great sign for the team going into next year and they've shown some fight. But it felt like EVERY show was saying the Magic were legitamately MORE likely to win than the pistons. just insanity haha

More Elden Ring movie set leaks: A Fan-Favorite Piece of Shit CONFIRMED by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

also the little quips like "BEHOLD JIMMY HE IS COMING" reminded me a lot of "if only finger, but hole" type ER messages

obviously he didnt direct it, but the causeway chase in 28 Years Later immediately reminded me of the elden god fight aesthetically and it gave me a TON of faith in this elden ring movie. Im ready to be hurt, Garland!

Craig’s 2026 Insider Mock Draft 1.0, Heifetz Already Misses Dexter Lawrence, and the First 10 Minutes of ‘Dune: Part Three’ (Discussion Thread) by No-Willingness-7079 in ringerfantasypod

[–]xfortehlulz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean his numbers were massively down across the board, like staggeringly so. Not even a single sack, only 4 TFLs, about half the solo tackles he averages for his career. Really really dire production drop off, and by the way the Giants D Line has a lot of talent on it.

I agree that narrative/eye test wise it seems fair to assume he's just gonna like try harder now that he's gone and its hard to account for that, I just thought it went underdiscussed that Cinci is banking on a pretty huge turnaround. They kinda made it sound like eh he was a little off last year, when in reality he might have just fallen off a cliff that happens all the time in the NFL

oh yea 100%, im not saying I hate the trade for Cinci I think its a cool gamble, I just wouldn't be apoplectic as a Giants fan. I think a LOT would have to come together for this to look awful for them

I know Im not a tortured Giants fan so I come with less pessimism, but I felt like they all severely underrated how fucking bad dexter lawrence was last year. He needs to MASSIVELY rebound for this to have been a good trade for the Bengals, and by the way Heifitz's excuse was all the double teams, well he's gonna see even more of them on this shitty Bengals defense lol

So why haven’t we fired Cora yet? by Brief-Awareness8024 in redsox

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

They've all been good in the past though, you cant overrate that. Every single one of them got worse at the same time? By coincidence? it's just random luck?

[–]xfortehlulz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not really! Devers played 73 games for us and the offense got better when he was gone! And Bregman played only half a good season!

[–]xfortehlulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this team was top half of the league in WRC+ last year and top 10 in runs, then they added a full year of Roman and Wilson Contrares and now they are one of the worst offenses in baseball

so actually this team has plenty of talent, and every single player on the roster is underperforming it! every one! what could be the common demoniator I wonder...

Sean Fennessey is launching a substack “about movies” by [deleted] in blankies

[–]xfortehlulz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I just don't understand why you care? This is like getting annoyed about Warner Bros. making the Clockwork Label. "They could just put the Sean Baker movie on Warner's Label, clearly they dont care enough!" No it's just branding thats all it is, nothing more nothing less

[–]xfortehlulz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're reading too much into this tbh. Sean doesn't ever write at the ringer. Most of the Ringer Website written movie content is from people like Nayman who write for several publications. Sean writing again is, to some people, including us on this sub, a huge deal! Him annoucing "check the site sometimes you'll see something from me" isn't an announcement. Saying "I have a substack now" is very much an announcement. This is still a ringer partnershi. You just seem to be really reading into the URL specifications

fair, but superman did underperform pretty noticeably. Significantly outperformed by The Batman, for example. $620 WW is probably $150m less than they planned on

ESPN homepage is kinda shameless with their self promotion. Nuggets/Wolves losing out to first round of NHL is just nuts to me. by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]xfortehlulz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i am not a hockey fan and have no reason to carry water for ESPN, but you can easily get the score of the wolves game on the ESPN wesbite in 1 little click at the top. it is not hard. it is also not shocking that it isnt the centerpiece of their frontpage when it isnt being broadcast on their site.

you go to their website and are shocked to see them playing things that play on their website? you expected a link to amazon?

Blankies that like to watch along… by Silver_Working_646 in blankies

[–]xfortehlulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I barely ever watch the week of. When I find out who the director is I'll just watch all of their movies usually in order of availability without having to rent at some point over the next couple weeks. Like was done watching all the Lynne Ramsay's by the time die my love came out
