    My wife and I hated it. The last episode was a total ****-show. It built an interesting premise (if drawn out and full of plot holes), but quickly it became apparent they had no satisfying conclusion to the mystery they started to tell. And then not only didn't they just settle for an unsatisfactory conclusion, they went straight to "WTF is happening right now?....I spent 8 hours for this!?!" territory. Just our two cents.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Is he a legit defensive SS though?
  3. TheLeviathan
    Agreed, I'd watch it anyway for X-nostalgia, but with Noah Fawley attached? That's a dream come true. Only thing that could make it better is if it was centered on Magneto or something, but i'm guessing he has something absolutely awesome planned with this.
  4. TheLeviathan
    I hadn't even noticed that, good catch. There are times to be vanilla and conservative and this team kept going for a jugular it already had firmly in it's teeth.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Right, they could have lost 3 yards on both run plays, still kicked a field goal, and be celebrating today. That and the 3rd and long, play action deep play call was terrible. On your own side of the field, with 7 minutes and up by 16....why the hell take that chance? You had to give it to them to lose it, just to give it to them. And I agree about game quality. The last 7 minutes were pretty awesome, but the previous 53 sucked.
  6. TheLeviathan
    This kind of "crowded" isn't inspiring.
  7. TheLeviathan
    I'm pretty hyped for it. And the fact that Fox thew like 12 slots behind it tells me they believe in it too. Let's make the X-men great again!
  8. TheLeviathan
    In case you missed it (somehow), Legion in 2 days
  9. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, none of the commercials did anything for me. I was already hyped about GoTG 2 and Stranger Things 2, they were fun, but I'm already sold. And yeah, I don't understand Gaga's appeal. Or why I should be more than "meh" about that halftime show.
  10. TheLeviathan
    A deep shot on 3rd and 1 up by 16? Absolutely stupid play call. Shanahan is lucky he already has a job lined up.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Right, at the very least we should be looking back at this and asking why the university now feels like doing an almost 180 from what one department determined. If there is going to be such a stark difference between fair due process and Title IX, shouldn't we have some hard questions about what, how, and why the decision by Title IX was determined in the first place? I sure as hell do.
  12. TheLeviathan
    You're right, probably not the end of it. Where did you read that her story changed again? The real shame here is that the four players who had, at best, tangential involvement in the actual act were dragged into the paper as if they were also perpetrators.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Some final fallout from the scandal: http://www.twincities.com/2017/02/03/gophers-winfield-jr-says-hes-been-cleared-in-school-sexual-assault-case/
  14. TheLeviathan
    31-27 Pats is my prediction as well.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Single? He made a hard turn around third for an inside-the-park HR!
  16. TheLeviathan
    I'd like us to keep both. Belisle isn't perfect...but you don't get perfect when you wait to sign relievers until early February.
  17. TheLeviathan
    There is an earlier post in this thread, liked by the author of this article and 6 others, that states the team's talent is worthy of upper 70 wins and is "believed in" across the industry. The post clearly implies the new FO is right to also believe in this talent. Similar sentiments have been less directly stated, but of similar tone. So, not imagined at all. Again, please read the context of the discussion.
  18. TheLeviathan
    I would suggest you more thoroughly read what you quoted and responded too. Not to mention the context.
  19. TheLeviathan
    More of this please.
  20. TheLeviathan
    I too hope the decision making process appears decisively different as the season progresses. So far we haven't had much tangible evidence to suggest it is.
  21. TheLeviathan
    I think Mike's question is a valid one to consider. If you are patting the new FO on the back for their keen insight in how good the team was in spite of it's record, aren't you implying that the last FO had built a good team? I'm sure people will add some nuance to their distinctions, but I see where he's getting that flavor. It's been all over this thread. It's hard to swallow the idea of someone saying "Well of course things weren't working! Look at the situation they were fired in! But thank goodness we have these guys here to leave things largely the same because our situation is actually pretty good!" I sort of "huh?" at that too.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Also, it's worth pointing out, that if your basis for this entire thread is that so many players underperformed relative to expectations, there is the answer that perhaps this year they will perform to those expectation. However, there is yet another alternative that we haven't explored: Maybe our expectations are too high/not relevant in the first place. That's the fear of any rebuilding club and it's not like we're immune to it.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Perhaps, but even if they pitch well Abad doesn't get you a big return. Those other guys might.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I said "higher", to denote that you have more chance of gaining some upside from them than, say, Boone Logan. You have a better chance to buy relatively low (with cash) and possibly sell high.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Three of the higher upside guys (Feliz, Storen, and Holland) signed with teams that lost 89, 91, and 87 games. I don't buy that we had no chance to sign those guys. Given them more money and a shot at the closer spot.
