    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    I mean I found it impressive and all, but Manchester by the Seas is the antithesis of rewatchable.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    What’s sports gambling culture like in Japan? Illegals or legal? If illegal, large black market like in US before legalized gambling?

    Appreciate it, thanks.

    Patriots' 2024 Free Agency Thread

    What’s the cap implication for a signing like Mike Williams for 2025? If the team thinks they need to build for a couple of years, wouldn’t a deal like that make sense as it’s not impacting your future cap space? I may be wrong about that because I don’t know how the future cap works.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I watch almost no college football. Before we knew the Pats were picking at 3 I had no idea who any of these guys were. After reading about 6 sentences of Maye’s draft profile I thought that sounds an awful lot like Josh Allen. Because all I heard in 2018 was my Bills friends and Jets friends...

    2024 NFL General Season News and Notes

    The chiefs don’t have the money. I’m not sure why the money is surprising. #1 receivers are extremely valuable in today’s NFL and don’t hit free agency. The number of people in the media and here who thought he was going somewhere on a discounted deal because he’s 30 years old was confusing.

    Matt Araiza Cleared of Gang-Rape at SDSU; Signed by Chiefs

    Statutory rape doesn’t consider what the accuser said or what the accused believed. And @johnmd20 is correct; it widely varies state to state so there is a huge divide between what may be legal and what someone may consider moral. A person wrongfully accused of a crime obviously shouldn’t have...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Yeah that was…not good. She had zero sense of history. If Bill asked her a question that wasn’t discussed on cable news in the last 4 years she had no idea.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    He mentioned it off the cuff. Didn’t seem like Sal heard that before. Or he did but didn’t realize Bill was sharing more publicly. Bill made comments a few times this year about post-podcast life that made clear he doesn’t picture himself continuing to do this as an older man. So I didn’t hear...

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    You can’t jump to that conclusion though. Moody shanks an XP attempt low almost into the back of his lineman’s head. SF is up 16-13. Next drive KC has the ball on the SF 6 and kicks a FG on 4th down to tie. Good chance if they’re instead down 4 they run the same play they used in OT and go up...

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    SF is a bit of an outlier with how many elite players they have on both sides of the ball. It’s more choosing if the goal is to build a 10 win team that has a good chance to make the playoffs for awhile or a team that can win multiple championships. Detroit, Dallas, Green Bay, Cleveland, Miami...

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    Look at the AFC playoffs. “Just wait until the Chiefs/Ravens/Bills need to start paying Mahomes/Lamar/Josh, it’ll cripple their cap space!” You have a star QB, pretty good chance you’re competing for a conference title for a decade.
