Felt good. The Tide arent off to a great start against the Vols in 2026. Lets hope it continues into the fall

When I was a kid, in the baseball league I played in there was one team that only had 6 losses - three of which were to one team.

That team ended up .500. I don’t remember them bragging about beating the team that finished above them.

I remember when the fake news posted by the Onion was too absurd to consider real without going to extremes.

These days, it seems they have to go even more absurd just to not be mistaken for real news.

How, specifically? How are all three still using his NIL from 2019-2021 to benefit today? Seems like they'd of moved on from him to more current players, does it not?

Very good question... don't think I've seen his name on any jerseys.

Holy crap. Did not realize she was that old. Thought she was like 17 I retract my earlier statement.

Huge gaps in time between filming for Stranger Things... understandable for the confusion.

the Boys escaping camp and A-Train dying, and that was all in episode 1.

---

I thought with A-Train dying that was going to lead into a lot more moments of massive upheaval. So far it's just these... and Soldier Boy being released.

Like you said, all the big stuff happened in the first episode.

The "bad guys" are so much better characters on this show. Love Homelander, Noir, Deep, Soldier Boy all of them. Butcher is fine, but Hughie, Starlight, Frenchie, Kimiko, I've gotten to where I don't like any of them and am cheering for them to lose.

---

I mean, that sort of happens, especially the longer something goes on like this. Villains and anit-heroes end up being much more compelling because the hero can only be heroic for so long before it gets repetitive.

Even in some comedies, the most morally gray character in the show ends up being the best one. Dramas, even more so - Tony Soprano, Walter White, etc.

The biggest issue for The Boys is that all but one of the heroes is never shown to have that gray morality that Butcher has. He's the most interesting because he has to make these calls, while for everyone else the black and white choices leave the audience with absolutely no guess as to what they'll do in any given situation.

He makes much more sense at overall number 1 than Simpson does in the first round.

---

You won't get an argument from me; Simpson was looking great until late in the season. Not sure how he translates into the NFL.

If he's late first round though, he'll have more tools around him. He may not be as good a QB but still more successful if he's got better personnel around him.

I am 28 years old and I’ve seen my university:

Win 4 baseball nattys
Win 3 football nattys (play for another)
Make it to a final four

Your fandom havent experienced a single one of those, your parents fandom hasn’t experienced a single one of those, your grandparents fandom hasn’t experienced a single one of those, your great grandparents fandom hasn’t experienced a single one of those.

Let us know how the cups turn out.

Eh, at the rate inflation is going it'll be about the equivalent of an extra order of fries. :lol: :cheers:

Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana

Hmmm

He had a great season and deserve the accolades, but a lot of it was great coaching and system. I do not know if he has the physical tools to be a great NFL QB, especially in the #1 spot behind the Raiders OL.
