re: Which Rocky Movie Was The Best? Which One Was Your Favorite?
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 6/1/24 at 5:54 pm
The original is the best film. IV is my favorite, though. I wore that movie out on VHS back in the day.
The second one doesn’t get a lot of love, but the “win” scene with Adrian is uplifting. The training scenes are intense. (Mick’s assistant slapping the shite out of Rocky’s gut while he was doin...

[quote]Anyone can believe, but Sunshine hasn't been all that in the NFL.[/quote]
You didn’t say be a superstar in the NFL. You basically said good enough for a roster spot, which he was as a true freshman.
I guess another way of saying it is, have there been true freshman college players who wer...

[quote]I can get with what you're saying, but who's going to control spending while all this new-age NIL money is being bidded? Not the schools, not the collective, and not the head coaches and ADs. How much longer before we break our own piggy banks?[/quote]
I dunno.
The problem is no one want...

There’s been enough really good true freshmen players in the history of CFB that some could have at least bypassed college and gone straight to the NFL.

re: Napoleon on AppleTV
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/31/24 at 11:41 am
1. Napoleon is perhaps my favorite historical figure.
2. In spite of #1, I didn’t like the film for a lot of reasons. For starters, they needed a younger actor for Napoleon.
3. One movie is not nearly enough time for the rise and fall of Napoleon. This should have been a Netflix series or som...

We will see how the ratings are in college football. People are still going to watch. It's because fans care way too much about winning that they have mercenaries in the first place.

It remains to be seen how NIL and the Transfer Portal affect things, but (historically) once you get into the Top 15-20 programs sustained success is mostly about the HC.
And Florida has had a lot of shitty head coaches since Meyer. ...
