Yeah, I have hated that for years. It's worse, or at least was, in the NHL, where slower grabby teams become much better against skilled teams just as you should be highlighting said skills when in national spotlight. And you are right, that is what it felt like in that game.

I felt like the Charger defense changed in 2nd half. in first half, they were playing to cut off the run and short passes, but in the 2nd it felt like they dropped back into the deep shell. Not to mention Bosa losing it the whole game. I also thought this was one of the worst reffed games I have seen. Worse, seemed like missed calls everywhere against one team in first half and then against the other in 2nd.

My brother looked at Dallas vs Tampa and is hoping for a national disaster. Seriously, how do you root for either team to win.

maybe not, but wouldn't it have been more enjoyable to see Saban get a beating like that?

I did too. it was also the first time I remember someone doing his parents still alive, and they were great. When he was trying on costumes and Pa Kent looks at him in the tights and says Thats my Boy. I also thought, next to Reeves, it was one of the better interpretations of Clark and Supes, not to mention Terry Hatcher as Lois. Iliked their Luther too. Only time series was dumb was when the marriage was coming up and the comics got delayed so forced them to do the clone storyline to buy time.

I'd never even heard of the superboy ones.

That's just punishing everyone. The fans of both teams for having to go to Cleveland AND the Browns fans for hearing about a playoff game in their home stadium and then telling them that won't include the Browns.

I would give each team a tie and go with that. Not sure it makes a difference, but might.

But obviously Carr's fault. AS I said to my brother, "I can't remember Carr making a significant play on defense this season".

Don't forget the early TD that was overturned (wrongly, imo) and subsequent fumble.

Ok, I realize this is from Dick's run as Batman, but why is Canary (assuming that is her) wearing a Green Lantern costume?

Problem is, that is what they traded for and what he did in Seattle all those years. Had a running game and tall receivers who would get those balls.

Yes, but the whole premise of Stargirl, as is, is that there was the JL and her team is those whose powers came from devices that have now been passed on to others. The Infinity Inc series plan was to use the children/nieces-nephews who seemed to have been born with the same or similar gifts - Jade and Obsidian, Sand (who gets prophetic visions in his dreams like Sandman). Not sure who else they would have gone to get. Also, they setup Helix and some of the powered kids from there - Penny Dreadful, Tao, Kritter(maybe), Carcharo - led by Nurse Hope and Mr. Bones.

Been catching up on Stargirl. Another reason for hating the takeover from Nextar of the WB brand. Stargirl has remained really good, to me at least. It has retained that hopefulness we saw in the earlier Supergirl series and apparently two of the last season episodes (before they realized they were making their last season, so might not have wasted the episodes) were setting up an Infinity Inc. series with Jade, Obsidian and Sand as members and The Shade on his redemption run mentoring them. but alas, not to be.

Ok, I figured that Dallas beats the Eagles with Hurts out, but not because their defense decided not to show up. I mean, they scored 34 points with Gardner Minschew. You HAVE to win a game where you 2nd string QB comes in and does that, but the Defense apparently stayed home. Also, if you win that game, you seal up the NFC East, probably home field in playoffs.

yeah, I would not want to be that player on the ride home if he is in hearing range of Belicek. It is the type of thing gets you sent to practice squad by him because he wouldn't want you the satisfaction of going to another team. aaannnddd, might have cost them the division if carolina hadn't choked. This seems to be the weekend of apparent locks playing to lose.

Anyone want to wager he is now a Rap DJ (not against Rap DJ, but betting this will be a change).

lets not forget the 2 early whistles that cost Vikings TDs in the game.

Remember when it was common for rookie QBs, even first rounders, to sit for a year and learn and watch?

No, Zaslov figured out another way to save money. He will just reuse the scripts from Smallville, modernized slightly. that way, not having to pay real writers. <That's a joke, just in case. In rereading how I wrote it, it almost sounded plausible>

Then they shouldn't have had him Cameo in Black Adam, either. If the plan is to continue forward with this version of Adam, it was a mistake to have Cavill cameo. You could have done something with Superman showing up and focus on the S and not the face.

Hmm, these results make me wonder if they are planning to actually split of ROH from AEW, since the ones who lost(except maybe Martinez) can actively work AEW and not worry about ROH. Yuta and Claudio due to the disolvment of the BCC.

You forgot scoring only 16 points (including an interception on 2nd and goal, iirc) against a defense without the best defensive player of the last 5 years.

And that is the same argument my brother had, which I agree with, sadly. Other problem with soccer becoming bigger in US, and I believe someone else mentioned it, is tv revenue. It will almost never make as much in revenue in the US (world cup notwithstanding, though I would argue without the USA at least being semi competitive, i bet would still hold). Broadcasters do not enjoy a sport that will go 45+ minutes without a break to show commercials, which is where they make their money. And I fully agree need to get them playing as kids, but again, the ones who are athletes that could have a sniff of those college scholarships aren't playing soccer.

This is one of those world cups gives hope for the future of this USA team. they are the 3rd youngest, so if can stay together and healthy and hopefully pick up a center forward who is a finisher, preferably taller then 5'10". Netherlands strategy was obvious from the beginning, pack 10 guys at top of box to about 25 feet further out and don't chase the USA players around knowing that your 6'+ defenders mean they can't lift ball from wings into the box for potential header goals. watching looks like USA is dominating with the ball control, but by half, down 2-0, with the Dutch strategy working perfectly. Somehow, USA needs to convince in highschool some of these potential 6'4" pointguards who won't make the NBA to come play soccer. My brother and I say similar thing regarding rugby. Team usa coach needs to travel to 2nd level colleges and convince some of the linebackers/runningbacks/defensive backs that they won't make nfl, so come try rugby and play on international level.
