  1. Nah, not every show has bad pilots, but a bad pilot doesn't necessarily mean the show will be bad.
  2. I also unlocked him, but I haven't beat the game yet. Not really trying to rush it. Savoring every mission.
  3. Yeah, the bowl game system is a joke. Ok, get this: there were 34 bowl games last year. Meaning 68 teams played in a bowl. There are 119 teams in Division-1. That's more than half the teams participating in a bowl. Some teams didn't even have a winning record. I mean, that's cool if your team is Bethune-Cookman University, but basically everyone hates it because they see how cheap it is and a money grab by the NCAA. Also, here are some names of REAL bowl games: Capital One Bowl, Beef O Brady Bowl, Chick-fil-A Bowl, Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, Little Ceaser's Pizza Bowl (yes, the word "pizza" is in the bowl name). The list goes on-and-on. It's a joke. There will still be bowls, but there will also be a tournament for the highest ranked teams. Obviously, all fighting to get to the final bowl for a TRUE national championship. The idea is to start off slow and get to the point where college basketball's March Madness tournament is at. People are very excited. As far as the NFL saftey thread... I say make it, but just know that the NFL has just settled out-of-court with tons of former players suing the league for medical problems after retirement so the topic has died down a bit.
  4. Obviously, this issue is complicated. So many moving parts. Still, it can't get any more currupt than what it already is. Boosters take advantage of kids knowing where they come from and their financial situations at the schools. The schools and NCAA are making millions off stuff I've mentioned becore. Shit, even parents! Everyone is exploiting these kids. When it comes to the NFL, I guess it could be cool for them to have a sort of minor league system in place while the kids are in college. And if they got paid it would entice them to stay in school longer. College football is ahead in this, though. Implimenting a minimum time requirement. Basically, these kids aren't eligible to leave to the NFL until minimum two years are completed. The NBA has no such rule so you see guys like Kobe and LeBron skipping college entirely and going straight to the pros. But anyways, the NFL has issues of their own. Safety issues, mostly. Commissioner Goodell is highly unliked by the players. Lastly, the playoff system in college football is being implemented because of complaints for years about the current bowl system. Going to a tournament style system where a REAL champion will be crowned. Obviously, the schools and NCAA are against it because it will mean less games and most importantly, less money.
  5. All this is gonna be is a police procedural set in Gotham City. The REAL Batman show is Arrow.
  6. Nah, Whitlock's dead serious about this... and it ain't that bad an idea. Lord knows college football has MAJOR problems and things have already been put in place to take it in the right direction. For example: next year they're going to a playoff system and doing away with (to a certain extent) the already decrepit bowl system. But there's more to be done. Namely, money. These players make MILLIONS for schools and the NCAA off tv deals, endorcements and whatnot and can't even feed themselves on campus. It's bullshit. And a lot of these kids are from inner cities so they have kids of their own and other problems so they take money from boosters and get in trouble. All while everyone else is eating off them. Whitlock's main thing is getting a pay player type system in place. That I agree with. What I DON'T agree with is the NFL getting involved.
  7. I'm conflicted about this. I agree with some changes, but also think some things should be left alone. I know one thing for sure: Jason Whitlock pisses me off.
  8. See what we have to deal with down here? I'm not the crazy one.
  9. Nah, Grayson hasn't been a sidekick for a while. He's basically Batman without the screw loose. So yeah, he'd win handily, but Remy ain't just some henchman. Dude, was a major X-Man. And probably coulda been a leader if he wasn't so worried about chasin ass. I'm sayin, Grayson could keeps his distance, but Remy's deck would come out. He could get in close and those billy clubs would become a liability if Gambit got his hands on em. Don't forget Remy's staff, too.

    I ate the burger version of that... horrible. Super sloppy. And not in the good way.
  11. I agree, but what about Gambit at his most cool/relavent powerful? I mean, dude was a pretty great athlete in the day and Grayson can only dodge those blasts for so long.
  12. New thread for a not-so-new concept. Basically, I'll "acquire" these pics from Facebook, post em here and we'll discuss. If y'all come up with some of your own, feel free to throw 'em up here. Just one-at-a-time, please. Interesting one. Who would win?
  13. Might wanna spoiler tag the Chief spoiler. Sucks that he did that cause it was kinda a cool reveal.
  14. Episode one was fantastic. Picking up right where Avengers AND Iron Man 3 left off. Smart, funny, cool. With LOTS of references. The actors need some getting used to (except for Clark Gregg, of course), but I see myself getting excited every week for this.
  15. Oh I'll be there day one, but until I see a trailer, I'm just gonna forget that it's happening.
  16. I see a Superman symbol. Ultraman has a U.
