Calling all Arch Manning haters to show up here. Let’s put your mouths to the test.

I don't hate the kid; he was clearly given way too much hype.

It's not that he doesn't have talent, but rather was treated as a generational one - basically we were being told he was going to be the greatest QB in the past 20+ years.

That's not on Arch; he didn't go around telling everyone he was amazing. Texas fans and the media kept that going.

So he was never going to live up to the hype Texas fans kept heaping on him.

Their best states were LINK:

1. Utah
2. South Dakota
3. Minnesota
4. North Dakota
5. Nebraska


I think their grading criteria may have been a bit skewed.

---

Florida was the only state to make their top 10 out of the SEC; having visited many times, I feel this is very dependent on WHERE in Florida.

I swear Florida feels more demographically separated than much larger states like Texas and California.

Virginia is very similar... it's rated #19, but I'd put the area I live in easily top 5 (Shenandoah Valley) but I also get that NoVA is a big reason the infrastructure gets a big hit.

Yes, his wife was diagnosed in 2015 and declared cancer free in 2016.

No evidence other than online rumors of any extramarital affairs.

His current wife left UA for Dallas in 2022. He has been divorced for 3 years.

Maybe, that is a reasonable time to move on. And, they had chemistry.

Everything isn't a scandal.

Uh oh, you're using facts and logic.

Neither of these are particularly welcome here. :lol: :cheers:

I’m sure he’s making bank, but The Rock is dying a slow death.

Surely this man has more than enough money to just stop working and chill.

I'm also not sure we needed a 3rd Jumanji (technically 4th?) movie.

You know, just as Hollywood starts making movies that are unique or at least from sources that haven’t been adapted yet, they remake a movie that’s already a remake.

Why would you do this? If you want a heist movie make something new.

Jess Bush (Chappel) isn't exactly hard on the eyes either.

DC has the better slate with the whole Neil Gaiman world, Justice League Dark, etc, but Marvel has good characters for this sort of thing too like Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Midnight Sons, etc.

---

Neil Gaiman's Sandman was pretty good; JL: Dark has done great with their animated movies but I am not sure if they'll make a live action or not (DCU needs to get at least get some traction before they try it).

Midnight Sons would be great; I'm still waiting to see if they bring back Moon Knight or not. His show was pretty good, one of the better Disney+ shows honestly.

See the caveat I made

I wasn't arguing your point, just providing the data.

Avatar is definitely the closest, and would be $100 mil in today's dollars.

Along with The Odyssey I definitely see Spider-Man Brand New Day and Doomsday flying past the $1 billion mark. BND is projected to open to $300 million on just domestic numbers

---

True, though a decent portion of Doomsday will be in 2027, that initial amount will definitely be part of 2026's haul.

We're at $5.6 billion so far; we should see the totals break $9 billion for the best year since Covid; I doubt it will break $10 billion but who knows... if so it'll be the first time since 2019 and that was the last year after a stretch from 2009-2019 that overall gross broke $10 billion.

I do like that it isn't relying purely on sequels and the MCU to reach those numbers. The Odyssey and Project: Hail Mary might be books turned into movies, but they're hardly remakes of recent attempts. While the top 2 movies are sequels (Toy Story 5 and Super Mario Bros Galaxy), the next 4 biggest are Michael, Project Hail Mary, The Odyssey, and Obsession (with Backrooms at 8 and Hoppers at 10) - rankings based on domestic numbers. They fluctuate a bit when Worldwide totals are considered.
