re: Recommendations for books about Vikings

For Viking inspired fantasy I can recommend Shadow of the Gods, the first book in a trilogy.

I wish my name was River Cartwright. Have to be cool with a name like that.
re: What has been Mickey Loomis biggest mistake

quote:Hiring Allen and bringing in Derek Carr was all part of the same mistake - thinking he could maintain continuity and avoid a rebuild. Easy to see in hindsight that once Brees and Payton were gone it was time to pay the piper for years of deferred cap shenanigans.
no GM is immune to mistakes in the draft or free agency
the biggest mistake was not starting the rebuild earlier especially when you hitched your wagon to Carr who was a disaster
you hit the jackpot with Brees but failed when that era ended
hiring Allen was another huge mistake with what he put forth with the Raiders
not having a competent search was malpractice

I'd say Marcus Davenport but I'm not sure how much of that to put on Sean Payton, so I'm gonna say Derek Carr. Trying to maintain the status quo after Drew with Carr also led to the Olave/Penning draft trades - the only way he could get Carr a potential star LT and WR since our cap was a mess. In retrospect, should've started the rebuild as soon as Jameis Winston didn't work out post-Drew. Easy to say in hindsight, though.

quote:Strongly disagree. This and maybe The Inside Man are the only Spike Lee movies that are actually good (Denzel was great in Malcom X, but the movie was meh). Do the Right Thing is definitely a movie of its era, however. I can see someone watching it for the first time now not digging it.

If tweet fails to load, click here. quote:
Head coach Kellen Moore confirmed that Olave's limited participation is connected to the ongoing business side of the game. The Saints have been discussing a potential contract extension with Olave, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal. General manager Mickey Loomis opened training camp by clarifying that the team wants to get a deal done, and Moore confirmed on Wednesday, acknowledging that it's part of the business.
“No, I think it’s just respecting the business side of the thing,” Moore told reporters after practice. “I think they’re just working through that as we go. And so everyone’s been great about this whole process. So no issues there. And he did a little bit of individual work to keep himself ramping up.”

WALK THROUGH AND INSPECT THE PROPERTY REGULARLY!!!!!!!!!!
Just because they pay on time, it doesn't mean they aren't trashing the place. I had a rental house with what I thought were good renters, older guy with VA benefits along with wife and kid. They didn't call with complaints/repairs and paid on time, so I didn't go in the house for over a year. They moved out suddenly and the house was totally trashed. I mean the kind of trashed you see on TV shows about hoarders. Holes in the wall, graffiti, roaches everywhere, garbage hip deep in some places. Place had clearly been used as drug den with bedrooms rented out to transients. It cost multiple thousands to clean and repair all the damage. Needed to call in dumpsters just for the accumulated garbage. Their deposit didn't cover squat and they had no money of their own to sue them for. I will never do long-term rental again - I'm all about short-term vacation properties.

quote:Maybe. But my theory is Christopher Nolen thinks Lupita is exotically attractive and wanted something unique, rather than a younger version of Diane Kruger from Troy.
Is her being black important for some reason? Because they went out of their way to do it.
Just admit it. It's more political pandering bullshite.
I get that. Finding a hotter actress than 2004 Diane Kruger is a fool's game. And what actress would want that comparison?

quote:Rogen even saying vague shite like this and leaving it up to the imagination just ensures Franco doesn't get another chance in Hollywood. After these comments to NYT, Franco is fricked all over again. Thanks Seth!
It's worth noting that we don't have the whole story on why he cut him off and from all indication it doesn't seem like it's "just" the public allegations. He even says as much in his most recent interview

quote:The first thing I thought about when I heard that joke was the history of Pawnee on Parks and Rec. It was only later that I found out the creator of Widow's Bay was a producer and writer on Parks and Rec. Seen through that lens, the town of Widow's Bay is basically a horror version of Pawnee, with the same type of wacky townsfolk on the periphery of the main characters (dumb drug dealer, lighthouse guy, etc.)
Doing a rewatch and catching some jokes I missed on the first watch.
