Why the frick does the arm going forward matter now!!!

That 3rd and short where he battled through the jam and extended after the catch was incredible

That was one of the most dangerous face masks I’ve ever seen. frick

There is no such thing as a ball slipping out of a quarterback’s hands after he starts his throwing motion.

From last night.

Dart starts throwing motion. Is nailed. Ball is caught by lineman.

Illegal touching right? Forward pass caught by lineman.

Wrong. No penalty. How does the NFL explain it? Shouldn’t they have been on their guard for it after the Saints game?

What if Goff decided to tuck it instead of throw?? Happens all the time after a QB starts his motion

But even arguing about this feels stupid because there are 1,000 ways to dispute it and none to defend it

More emotionalism, more self-absorption, etc. Drama became more and more defined by this. It really seeped into the culture, and I frankly think it's led to a lot of the weird problems we've seen, going back to the "Me Generation" mentality up to present day craziness.

Culture seeped into culture? Your analysis is fine but the diagnosis is tautological.

Culture is a symptom, not a cause. The crisis of meaning is downstream from disillusionment with the enlightenment project of all-powerful reason; a product of industrialism, which resulted in the contradiction between the liberal revolutionary values of the 18th century and labor relations, and the world wars which were the ugly fruits of our technological innovations. Communism and fascism are in their own ways catastrophic attempts to deal with this failure of reason.

There is also a lot of flattening together of psychoanalysis, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience in this thread but I can’t get into all that on game day

I don't like that going against us but I’m in favor of ref assist on those sideline hits. It’s infuriating when they extend drives

You are not the a-hole.

I have the opposite problem. I walk CBD/Warehouse district almost every day and have to deal with idiot cyclists on the sidewalk, mostly grown men. I have yelled “you're not 12!” a time or two

A murderer and potential serial killer appears in The Exorcist.

Friedkin wanted the cerebral angiography scene to be as realistic as possible, so he cast radiographer Paul Bateson. In 1979 Bateson was convicted of killing a film journalist. He became the prime suspect in the Bag Murders, a series of unsolved murders of gay men in Manhattan. He was never officially convicted of these crimes. Friedkin visited him several times in jail and made Cruising inspired by this case.

Italian film director Lucio Fulci on the causeway circa 1980 (filming The Beyond). Apparently he had already shut the bridge down for longer than allotted when insisting on posing for this… worth it
