Curly’s Girl (Season 5, ep 18). Absolutely excruciating having two of the least likable side characters (Rhonda and Curly) be the focal point of an episode. Not to mention the weird, sexual blackmail undertones.
Also—“The Longest Monday” is a gem 💎 and I will die on that hill 😂

*Thank you*
When I’m able to eat Chat GPT queries I will compare them equally to almonds and other foods. Unfortunately, I can’t eat an ai picture of a chimp wearing a sombrero.

EA Sports doesn’t report sales for NHL games (shock) but here’s an interesting fact: NHL games have actually increased in popularity the past few years in their key market (Canada).
NHL24 finished as the #4 game in Canada for the year it was released, while NHL25 was #3 and NHL26 was #2.
What’s even more frustrating: 73% of EA’s revenue comes from live services (for NHL that would be things like HUT).
So EA is making far more money on NHL27 than they did on the game 10 years ago, more people are buying it, and despite all that they still ship out flaming hot garbage.
TL;DR—yes, people continue to complain and yet they buy this pile of crap. If you stop buying it they might improve it, but if you keep buying it they definitely don’t have any reason to.

In most trades the general rule is “whoever gets the best player wins the trade.” In redraft it’s very common to see people package two mediocre players to get one high-end asset.
You can always shoot your shot but I wouldn’t bother with this unless my roster was really missing something, and I’m assuming you just had the draft so that other manager likely has no reason to move Henry.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they give someone else a shot 10-12 weeks in but yeah it’ll depend on whether or not the team is competitive. Vegas odds are 8.5 wins so they’ll probably be frustrating and mediocre.

Rodgers’ arm is unfortunately toast. His aDOT last year was like #42 of 44 qualifying QBs.
Gonna be a LOT of dump offs to Warren but Pittman’s area of the field should lend itself to getting targets. I suspect he’ll have an upside Khalil Shakir type season. Good possession PPR play. Quiet but reliable.
DK Metcalf is going to be an afterthought—not because of his talent but because Rodgers just genuinely can’t throw the ball accurately more than about 10-15 yards downfield.

“Hey those homeless people with substance addiction, mental illness, and health problems? Put them in the military so they have a guaranteed job, housing, and socialized medicine.”
Damn, Stacy. That is accidentally based af.

The Giants’ offense will be completely inept with Nagy at the helm. 0 players on that offense will perform up to expectations (Dart, Nabers, Skattebo)
This isn’t an indictment of player talent. I just have no faith in Nagy to produce success.

The Millicent storyline actively annoyed and angered me even with a guide.
The amount of luck, time, and tism it must’ve taken someone to accidentally do that is something I simply do not possess.

His level of chill during a 3v1 gank is absolutely hilarious.

In my experience it was mostly injury luck and playoff strength of schedule.
Seriously—having a couple guys playing back to back to back soft defenses in good weather or domes during weeks 15-17 is such a huge edge in H2H leagues. If you’re locked in for the playoffs in a dynasty league, target those mid-range assets with juicy playoff runs.

You’re probably right. Fable was another gem. I guess I remember certain vistas from KOTOR and the scale of the game being the part of that left me awestruck. Like the sunset on Korriban and the endless rolling Dune Sea.
But I’m sure if I replayed it I’d realize how pixilated and rough it looked. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.
eSam34
Were KOTOR’s graphics “trash” at the time it came out? I remember thinking it looked mesmerizing as a kid when I first played it. But…I was like 13

So in BAP my computer teammates still can’t figure out how to cycle the puck and instead routinely skate into the boards for no reason other than to give the other team the puck? Or did they finally fix that…
eSam34
You won and that looked like a really fun fight. What’s the problem?
Game’s been out for almost half a decade. Most invaders encounter nothing but gank squads or overpowered phantom babysitters. Twinking is effectively required at low levels.

“Fell to me at 3.04” says the person who passed up on Boston at 3.1 to take Emmett Johnson lol
Don’t get me wrong Johnson’s a fine rookie pick in the third but don’t dog your leaguemates for letting him “fall to you” when the person that let him fall to the mid-third was you.

Fairly accept for me. Downgrading from Gibbs to Amon Ra isn’t that drastic. #1 overall player versus #9.
You get a top 5 RB in return to create a Thanos Endgame team. Fantasy is about winning championships. You’re downgrading from the RB1 to the WR3 for one of the best RBs in the game and you have players like Adams and D Henry on your squad. Win a ship.

Doubt it. I tend to only buy NHL when there’s big updates to Be a Pro (my favorite mode) and I don’t see a lot about 27 that will update that mode.
eSam34
This game would be unplayable without these inputs. Thank you. 🙏🏼
eSam34
Man, there’s so much risk there. My biggest hang up is that I like Brooks but I think Chuba will eat into his workload AND the Panthers have an absolutely awful schedule / Offensive line.
But the old wisdom is “whoever gets the best player wins the deal” and Chase is that dude.
eSam34
That’s what I’m considering. Our old rules have FA pickups into 3 years but I’m not sure it’s even worth it messing with their setup manually.
I’ve been fiddling around with the platform a lot and man it is so good for salary cap dynasty leagues. Appreciate the response
eSam34
Late to the reply but Considering moving over:
All of LT’s features look great but a couple things I haven’t been able to nail down.
- Can you as the commish change a player’s contract cost and salary at will? Like if LT’s franchise tag options don’t fit into our current rules, can you just manually make the player’s contract 1 year and whatever cost you as the commish want?
- On that topic—Can you change a free agent’s contract to 3 years? Seems like the current LT rules only allow FAs to get picked up on 1 year deals but in our league it’s 3 years on their FAAB pickup. Is that possible?
Any other hangups or annoyances you’ve found? The league is interested and I’m absolutely so sick of Sleeper.

On pace to lose $200+ million based on domestic/international box office trends…
Snow White/John Carter levels of brutal for a franchise that was supposed to be one of safest bets in Disney’s inventory.
Why on earth would you worry about projections from an App…obviously Gibbs isn’t going to score 60. Just watch the games and stop boxscore staring
