re: Bloodline Season 2 Thread

One of the things I found perplexing was John's sudden inability to figure out a solution. Even Kevin and Meg seemed to be at a loss when John couldn't come up with a plan.
Spoilers
When John read Marco's report and saw where O'Bannon was claiming to have found the daughter's necklace, all John had to do was drive to any gift shop in the keys and purchase the same necklace. Then return home and pass it off as the one he took away and give it to the daughter as a peace offering. It would immediately nullify any necklace O'Bannon has in his possession.
That seemed like a rather easy way out and one John, who has been a conniver the entire series, should have come up with. That necklace is only valuable to the case if Marco can prove it's the same one Danny gave to the daughter. Which, btw, he would never be able to do. Marco didn't have much and John should have been experienced enough to know that necklace was not evidence of his participation in Danny's death. Instead they have John freaking out and kidnapping O'Bannon and then running away.

Absolutely. I should have mentioned his performance as well. Thanks.

John C. Reilly is insanely good in this movie. Don Cheadle and William H. Macy both deliver as well.

I am a hedge fund manager and a U.S. Attorney and tell you it is very accurate
In your experience it's common for an U.S. attorney to blow up a deal, a deal he put together and one that was agreed upon by the violator, at the very time of execution of the deal for no other reason than the U.S. attorney in question is a self absorbed prick?
The Giamatti character displaying zero control over his emotions and lacking the integrity to stand by his own agreement is an accurate depiction of how people attached to the U.S. Justice department operate?

Giamatti and Damian Lewis both do a decent job with the crap they've been given to utter. The show is a mess and not in any way believable.
That sit down to negotiate a deal was bizarre to say the least.

No. In fact that doesn't make sense. It's much easier to be part of baseball's field of 64 playing in the SEC than football's field of four.
Every year the SEC sends 7,8 and 9 teams to the baseball post season and one to football's final four.

Mainieri has always been animated in the dugout. Probably a bit more than most college coaches but I suspect his players are aware it's all part of the emotions the game fosters upon him.

I appreciate the show for poking the ridiculous progressive mindset in the eye with a very sharp stick.
The funniest skit I've seen was the Portland Disease Pride Parade. They were applauding the bravery of people with chickenpox.
The two overbearing feminist who create causes out of thin air are also hysterical.

From 3/24 to 4/7 you see us losing three consecutive Friday night games. Is that a pitching or offensive problem in your opinion?
re: Skip Bayless says Ben Simmons is overrated
Posted by wilfont on 2/19/16 at 10:00 am
If Ben is overrated then I don't believe that reflects poorly on Ben or his game. The notion of pre determining a player's value before they even compete at a certain level is an outside factor and those making these determinations may well be overrated as experts.
Ben is a damn fine basketball player but he still has a great deal of potential to unlock. It was always unlikely he would reach his full potential in one year at LSU.

Well, it sounds great. We'll have to see if the words translate to change on the field.

re: This Would Be Better Than Our Squib/Short Kickoffs
Posted by wilfont on 2/13/16 at 11:22 am
Interesting. If our designated kicker is doing nothing more than kicking to the 15 yard line then why not work with a defensive player who can do the same. I see the obvious merit. What would be the downside assuming someone could provide, at the very least, equal kickoff quality?

CPM has been around long enough to know when SEC teams are throwing their ace on Friday he's going to counter with his own to give his team it's best chance of winning.
By SEC time or shortly thereafter Lange will be pitching on Friday nights.

Was Edwards a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives? Then yes, he's part of the problem.

Looking forward to the day when Lindsey Scott leads a fourth quarter drive to defeat Feleipe Franks and Florida.
