The example video the League presented at the press conference is online. With absolutely no evidence to backup this claim, I would not be the slightest bit surprised if there were 1,000s of these tackles in a given season without incident, regardless of what the NFL is citing as an 'injury rate' 25...

All of those are objectively worse. lol (especially Elf/Carey )
Although the Gump/Travolta one makes for some funny mental mashup images of the Vincent Vega confused gif.

"A tackler grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms, and unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee." I've seen this more commonly described as 'tackling from behind'. So if you t...

I've heard Nic Cage and Will Smith are like the two A-list actors with the longest list of major "you turned down that " roles. Cage apparently also turned down Neo/The Matrix, and that was within a few months of turning down Aragorn/LOTR. Now, I still have a hard time comprehending they not only of...

Yes, everything about how GB84 turned out was practically perfect in every way, and any changes to story/script/casting.... any of the known 'alt' versions, really, would've lessened the final result.

The original idea for GB84 was to have John Belushi and Eddie Murphy in the Venkman and Zeddemore roles, respectively. Belushi died, and Murphy declined in order to make Beverly Hills Cop.

On a side note the OG 84 movie was on TV last night and I caught the last hour or so. Even with commercials breaking the flow it's just a perfect movie. Things 50-year old me understand implicitly that 10-year old me sitting in the movie theater didn't care about: The EPA guy was right all along, a...

Well at least one of the actual shooters is on video barking into camera about something (probably about how great Allah is), so they should be able to do a matchy-match thing with that guy. I think he's also on video repeatedly slashing someone's throat. Bombing suspects are a different breed in te...

Just understand you're committing to 6+ hrs of car time, LA - SD round trip. Never been to the zoo, but Midway is neat. It's maybe the only aircraft carrier museum where you can see actual commissioned carriers at berth across the Bay. I've done that day trip into SD proper I think twice, once for S...

I'm not sure how they do it now, but at least at one time you couldn't 'purchase' the new limited-edition Ferraris at all. They were conditionally leased. The goal was to inhibit the ability of speculators who were buying up their super/hypercar models and then immediately selling them to the highes...

Eh. I still maintain the problem isn't the wack-a-loons in Congress. It's the fact that those wack-a-loons are far more representative of the general baseline in 2024. (Another way of saying this: Trump isn't the problem, Trump supporters are the problem) Steve King has only been gone like four year...

I thought Solo was fine. No harm no foul kind of thing. Given how badly managed the production was, that any of it ended up watchable is kind of amazing. The scene where Han and Chewie meet teeters on the edge of too silly for its own good. But I think the tech that was developed for the movie was t...

Shogun is just blasting along from strength to strength. It has been able to maintain S-tier storytelling and character development through five episodes, and it is awesome stuff.

That has been some common speculation. If it is him, he'd only be a teenager.... it would make more (timeline) sense if it was his master, but I think Darth P's master was a non-human, the teaser focuses on a human hand, and the dark character over the pool of water looks humanoid. So I don't know w...
