Spoilers


There's no way the public would believe the images of aliens uploaded to network TV were real. Me, sitting in the movie theater knows that the images I'm watching are fake, so if I saw similar images on network TV why would I believe them? And why is the news anchor so emotional? We see freakier stuff on Twitter a hundred times a day. Spielberg really showing his age. Nobody trusts the news anymore, Walter Cronkite is long dead. At least trot out the President to confirm it or something. The only "disclosure" everyone would believe at the same time would be an alien mothership appearing over every major city in the world.

Surprised to make it this far with no Sadie Sink. She's about to blow up in Hollywood, including the next Spider-Man movie.

I'd put in a 3rd for him
Hes worth a 3rd, but not for the Saints. If the organization believes in Shough, they don't need a distraction like Sorsby. If I was the Falcons, though, I'd put in a 2nd for him. Would much rather Sorsby on a rookie contract than Penix or Tua, and the rest of their roster is too good to get them a top 5 pick in next years draft.

I enjoyed it as well, really liked Richard Dreyfuss in this one.

But, there is an obvious weak link keeping it out of upper tier Spielberg...



Reportedly Tom Cruise turned down the part before it went to former Marlboro man Brad Johnson.

Kayshon Boutte did exactly that and is doing fine in the NFL. Wasn't disciplined at all.

Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers, with at least 17 bets on NCAA football games -- including at least six involving LSU, according to police.

depends on what round we'd be able to get him
Sorsby is going in the 3rd, at latest. I think the 2nd is more likely. Carson Beck and Drew Allar were just drafted in the 3rd, Sorsby is a better prospect than both (even with the gambling).

New Orleans Saints

For now, the Saints will move forward with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough, their second-round pick in 2025. The 26-year-old Shough had promising stretches in nine starts last season, particularly down the stretch. He was generally accurate and decisive with the football, finishing the year with a .19 EPA/dropback in nine starts, which ranked in the top 10 among quarterbacks with at least nine starts.

Frankly, Shough played like a first-round pick as a rookie. There were reasons he went in the second round, though, including his age and the fact he suffered three severe injuries in college (two broken collarbones and a broken leg). New Orleans also still has talented young backup Spencer Rattler on the roster, and it brought former first-rounder Zach Wilson into the building this summer.
quote:

Would this make sense?

Maybe. As a roster, the Saints are closer to Pittsburgh than the rest of the teams on this list — they’re talented enough to surprise some people this year, especially if Shough plays the way he did late last year. Sorsby is probably as talented as Shough was when he entered the draft last spring. If the Saints want to hedge their bet — and feel they might be able to get Sorsby with a mid-round pick — it could turn into a productive investment

Madness. Even in our own division the Falcons and Panthers are much more obvious landing spots.

Hike 734 is your complete guide to hikes in Glacier
Thanks for this, looks very useful!
Has anybody boated on Flathead Lake?
Rented a house on Flathead Lake near Bigfork for a week in late July, bringing the kids (teens) and the wife. Any specific recs on activities around there and Glacier National Park?

So far we're planning to rent a boat on Flathead Lake for at least one day to do some tubing and visit Wild Horse Island. Rest of the trip we'll want to to whitewater rafting, horseback riding, some easy hikes, and of course visit Glacier National Park for a few days. Appreciate any recs for these activities (specific hikes, companies, etc.), or any other things we should do while there.

Knoxville restaurant recs

Headed to Knoxville next week for a few days, never been. Looking for any interesting places to eat. We'll certainly be around to UT campus but will also be driving all over so any place within 30 minutes of UT is fair game.

Didn't win enough, couldn't stay healthy, and his contract extended our cap hell from the Brees era which kept us from pursuing FA. He and his contract are also why Loomis went all-in and gave away picks for Penning and Olave to try to get two cheap players at crucial positions to make Carr successful (didn't work).

Absolutely loved this movie. Sat there and listed to the score during the credits just trying to process it.
I'd really love to have a spoiler filled discussion of my problems with the ending. Someone here will have to tell me when that is ok.
