I mean, my wife watches all the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, and I’m there when they’re on. I wouldn’t call what I do “watching” them, but I’m familiar with most of the people.
Agreed. Sometimes they’ll pull this crap hoping you won’t push back. If you do, they’ll fold and do the right thing. I’d start with telling them you’re going to get an attorney. If that doesn’t work, you may need to actually get one and go from there.
I don't know if Drake Maye is the real deal or if he's just in the perfect system (or a little of column A & a little of column B), but he looks really good.
It was an ugly win, but at least we ended the season with a W. And bonus points that we beat the Saints AND screwed the Bucs!
I'd really be happy to see Raheem Morris let go and let's move on. Two straight 8-9 losing seasons with no playoffs. And that 8-9 record even looks better than it is, since we won the last 4 after being eliminated from playoff contention. The team consistently looked unprepared to play, and, when we won, I feel like it was in spite of the coaching not because of it.
One half down, and we're hanging in there 10-7 in spite of shooting ourselves in the foot more than once. But then again, we don't own a single pair of cleats that don't have multiple bullet holes in them from shooting ourselves in the foot.
We can't make the playoffs, but we still have the chance to do not one but TWO great things today with a win:
1. - It goes without saying that number one is beating the Saints. That's always number one.2. - We could end the Buc's playoff hopes and send the Panthers to the postseason.
The Falcons have been around since '66, the Saints since '67, and the Bucs since '76. The Panthers didn't come along until '95, so they're like the little brother, I don't dislike them as much as the Saints & Bucs, and I'm much happier for them to go into the playoffs.
I have read a number of King novels, but The Running Man is the only Bachman one that I read. It just really clicked with me for some reason, and I was super excited for a faithful adaptation. I didn’t realize just how faithful this movie was to the source book until after I saw it and then went back to look at the book summary afterwards (I hadn’t read the book in a long while before going to the movie).
This was a really cool wrap up, and I read way more of these than I expected that I would!
I will take issue with one thing in your review of The Running Man. You said that the plot was “too convenient”, but with the exception of the last 5 minutes, it was really faithful to the source book. (The Arnie version took the names of the characters and the general idea of a game show and made something that had almost nothing to do with the source.) I was super excited to see this, because the original book is one of my favorites. I was really bummed that they pulled their punches on the changed ending though, and it soured me on the rest of the movie.
As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I would take John Harbaugh as our head coach any day of the week.
