  1. Most of you probably dont care, but I am highly optimistic about the USMNT. They are very deep, should be interesting to see what the WC squad looks like.

    The level of play in MLS is not sufficient enough to get them past the round of 16. Granted, more and more of USMNT is playing abroad, but they are still on the trajectory. Also, more importantly, MOST IMPORTANTLY, it's a cultural thing that Jurgen Klinsmann alluded to. He had probably the most brilliant statement ever...he said

     

    '...you Americans have it backwards. You put your kids through the grass roots process and hope that they end up with a scholarship...'

     

    If we applied the American baseball farm system model to MLS (obviously what they do in Europe), they'd instantly make every WC group The Group of Death.

  2. I don't think JGL would be a good Batman.  I think he's a great actor and I like him a lot, but not as Batman.  He's not butch enough to be Batman, and not suave enough to be Bruce Wayne.  Ultimately, WB will probably want to keep the character grounded as Bruce Wayne before getting into controversial comic book mumbo jumbo, and I don't think JGL can be that.  But we are coming off the undisputable greatest portrayal of Bruce Wayne, and arguably the best portrayal of Batman.  People make fun of the voice, but it makes a ton of sense for trying to mask who you are.

    As if civilians would sort that part out...

  3. Curious if people view Johnny Manziel as an NFL QB

     

    While size and stature have been constantly proven to be non-determining factors, hard for me to see him as a pocket passer. I don't recall being wowed by his arm strength, but then I can't say I saw him make some big throws. At 185lbs, wondering if his frame could withstand the NFL hits. Obviously he could be +15lbs by the end of the next 2 or 3 yrs but he doesn't appear to have Mike Vick speed, nor does that 200lb frame strike fear into anyone similar to Tim Tebow's frame

  4. Ah makes sense now lol

    Went to grad school there so it was just 2 yrs. Best 2 yrs ever

     

    Wanted to make the pick with Joe Thomas, had no shot at JJ Watt or Russell Wilson, forgot all about Travis Frederick, wasn't really interested in Gabe Carimi, thought about how I could have gone Montee Ball if I didn't go RB in the flippin first round, and wasn't too keen on any of their tight ends.

     

    Thought now was the best time to go Moffitt

  5. Whats it about?

    Ahh yes of course

     

    A news reporter and his bestie camera man looking to find the head honcho in the Bosnian Serbian War...big time War criminal. No one seems to be able to find him and none of the locals really care to disclose his whereabouts. They want to sit down and interview him, but the word around town is that the camera man and reporter are CIA and want to take him out
