  1. They are, largely due to their huge mass. Accidents that involve bus fatalities usually involve equally impressive forces, like a tree or, in this case, a semi. Had that semi been just a car, the only fatalities would likely have been in the car itself.
  2. I'm a bit ambivalent toward Ready Player One. It comes off as some weird power fantasy that Ernest Cline wrote about his childhood. Lots of eyerolling in the writing. It will probably be a fun movie in the same way as Pacific Rim is fun. Turn your brain off and enjoy the show. It also didn't help my perception of RPO that I followed it up with The Three-Body Problem, a significantly better written sci-fi novel.
  3. Implying that gamers are all Gamergaters is like saying Americans are all Trump fans. It's farcical at best.
  4. I'm with Marions Piazza on this one. I don't see any connection between Ready Player One and Gamergate. (On a side note, I've purchased games from a website called GamersGate years ago and I know they're still around. I bet they weren't too happy with Adam Baldwin coining the Gamergate term.)
  5. Boston (I didn't know, so I looked it up).
  6. What the hell did I just come home to? 7 goals‽
  7. Go Tribe! I wish the opener wasn't so late, because one of my good friends is a Seattle fan so this is a great opening series for me.
  8. Two seasons ago, he was 209/373 (i.e. 56.0%) while playing all 14 of Wyoming's games.
  9. Or it could mean the Giants plan to trade down. Of those 3, Mayfield easily, for me.
  10. Thompson signed a 1 year deal with the Cowboys, $2.5 million.
  11. Looks like Buffalo's women's team just upset the Seminoles. Up next, South Carolina (and the winner of that game will probably play Connecticut, which has won something like 145 of their last 146 games)
  12. He was Division 1-AA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Northern_Iowa_Panthers_football_team
  13. Going back to my point about Warner, he wasn't even in an FBS conference and still only had a 58.4% completion. There's always a chance Allen could do quite well, but like you I just...doubt it.
  14. I feel like Allen's accuracy (56.2% completion, worse than Jackson btw, more so when including PFF's adjusted completion %) prevents him from being a franchise QB in today's game (though Kurt Warner was only 58.4% as a college starter and went on to 65.5% in the NFL).
  15. Oh, I don't like this at all. Think they traded up because they knew we would try to trade up above them?
  16. I would take Jackson and Rudolph (and obviously Mayfield, Darnold, and Rosen) before Allen.
  17. I had a lot of fun with South Carolina's run last year. Let's see Buffalo have similar success this year!
  18. Ivory will make more money than half of the starting RBs in the league in 2018 (source). That's a lot for a third stringer. Granted, a lot of great RBs are on their rookie contracts. Agreed. It's getting very annoying. They went from a 6th round QB who was a backup for 4 years to a 5th round QB who was a backup for 3 years. Not sure my point is relevant, because I think the plan is to go all in on a QB in the draft.
  19. Perhaps, but the 3 best (IMO) current QBs in the league, Brady (Bledsoe), Rodgers (Favre), and Brees (Flutie) all sat to start their careers.
  20. By that reasoning, he shouldn't want to come here, either. Our top WR was Deonte Thompson, with 430 yards. Kelvin finished with 217, Zay with 316, Matthews with 282. Our WRs combined for 115 receptions. That's only 3 more than Jarvis Landry had on his own. Antonio Brown has beaten that number twice.
  21. In the first round? I wouldn't mind signing Bridgewater regardless of who the Bills draft. Keenum? I'm not so sure.
  22. Mmm, soylent green.
  23. I'm asking you. You said Bortles was a highly-rated accurate college QB who turned into a bust, then followed that by saying he is fine.
  24. So which is it? Bortles is fine, or Bortles is an example of a "highly-rated accurate college QB" that was a bust in the pros?
  25. I had to dig this up from a Numberfire article I remember reading about Bortles leading up to his draft: For Bortles, none of his statistics really jump out of the page at you. Of the 52 quarterbacks in the study, Bortles ranked 14th in games played, 14th in adjusted QBR (out of 24), 21st in passer efficiency rating, and 28th in adjusted yards per attempt. It's about as blah as you can get. The obvious reason that Bortles is so highly sought after is the fact that he is just a large human being. However, you would think that, if this height was such a grotesque advantage, it would have translated into grotesque stats as well.
