It has nothing to do with streaming. It's the CGI and special effects. They take as long as filming does. Then there's editing, getting music rights, advertising and trailers. All of this take much longer than a typical 22 episode show. Only some fantasy shows like Buffy, Stargate, Charmed, Supernatural that have some CGI have ever been able to accomplish this. And the quality - esp the first three - is nothing compared to shows like GoT, Dragon, Stranger Things, Boys, etc.

I guess Ja's hand grenade blew up while still in his hands.

They offered Fields a deal, he turned it down for a slightly better one from the Jets.

Oh yes, I love his whining abt them, tho he's been realistic this season and he's literally been the only national media personality to openly praise the Cavs as being potential Champs. Tho he's also admitted that the Celtics get the benefit of the doubt because they're the reigning Champs, he's the only one who's also said they can beat the Celtics in the East. Everyone else gives the Cavs no chance. Also he thrives on mocking the blue & white NFL team from Dallas, and I live for that.

@Magog don't you mean wine & gold? 😁

I thought abt that @Magog. I hope it’s not a portend of this season. can someone explain the Play In? I get the winner of 9/10 plays the #1 seeds. But I don’t understand how the Loser of 7/8 becomes the 7th seed, which the graph that @atomic shared, shows. Or how am I reading it wrong?

For only the 2nd time three teams have won 60+ games in a season. The first time was 2008/09 - Cavs, Celtics, Lakers 2024/25 - Cavs, Celtics, Thunder

Now Ja says he's going to mimic pulling the pin & throwing a grenade in celebration. What is wrong with this guy?! You can't celebrate mimicking something other than violence?

Plus you don't have to go QB at #2. I'd like them to get Abdul Carter. With Myles on one side & Carter on the other, who needs a star QB?! LOL

Two AFC North teams nailed their QB, two have completely bundled theirs. (Sadly, the two who have bungled their QB situation are represented in my home. Browns for me and Steelers for hubby. We can't even tease each other anymore. It's just sad.)

The Cavs have officially locked in #1 seed in the East. It could've been the overall #1 if they hadn't crapped the bed for almost two weeks last month. For the record, I blame hubby. He hadn't worn his Cavs jammy pants all season. The very next day after he wore them for the first time, they lost the first of four in a row. After the 4th loss, I hid the pants. In other WTF are you thinking, does Ja Morant not understand that his gun gestures make an impression on kids that might look up to him? He's setting a bad example when he continues to make such gestures even after being warned over & over. All this does is teach kids on the margin that it's okay to break the rules or to fight authority. And it glamorizes street thuggishness and violence. Fining him isn't doing the job. Suspending him w/o pay might or making him do community service in areas affected by gun violence might work better.

League owners have voted to include stats from the old AAFC of 1946-49 into NFL stats. Which means the 1948 49ers now own the single season team rushing record of 3,663 over previous holder the 2019 Ravens of 3,296. That team also holds the team yards per play record of 6.07, now beating the 2024 Ravens of 5.76. But more interestingly, the 1948 Browns join the 1972 Dolphins as being the only other undefeated season. The league has added in the modern Playoff era to the Dolphins season. The Browns won 15 total games that season under the tutelage of coach Paul Brown. While us Browns fans need something good to hear, I do feel bad for the added asterisk on the Dolphins achievement.

He suffered for so long, and was gossiped abt so much before he made his throat cancer diagnosis public, that he deserves and probably needs his rest. I will always be awed by his portrayal of Jim Morrison, but he was great in pretty much everything.

Didn't he say something like, "we tried for a QB..." YOU HAD A QB! A GOOD ONE! Better than the alleged monster.

Yeah, I thought after I posted that it might've been a movie. I was a tween who found her second character crush (after Speed Racer) so I really only remember Ken Howard. LOL, so the memory isn't the best.

OrKnight Rider. LOL Was he in 1776?. That was my first grown up mini series I was allowed to watch. I just remember Ken Howard as a hot young Thomas Jefferson. Happy Birthday Mr. Daniels.

Shogun, Dr. Kildare, Thornbirds, 3 Musketeers, Towering Inferno, Count of Monte Cristo, Man in the Iron Mask, Centennial... Outside of Roots or Rich Man, Poor Man, I don't think there was a late 70s early 80s mini series that Mr. Chamberlain wasn't a part of. (j/k) He was the King of the Miniseries and such a draw as an actor and face. He knew how to sell a serialized story. And he made such an AH inTowering Inferno that was different from his normal characters. RIP sir. You lived a long, productive life and deserve your rest.

Shit that means we're getting Shadeur. Myles said he knew the Browns plans for QB, and th at was a factor for signing that massive extension. Another Browns screw up at QB. We could been in the Playoffs regularly with Baker. At least we're not Pissburgh.

Hubby just started watching and wholeheartedly YES! This Murdoc has no flair, no charm of Michael Des Barres.

As fun as he was last year, I agree.

The Steelers are not a stupid organization, I don't understand why they're waiting to just re-sign Wilson, and stop letting Roger's hold them hostage.

So it turns out the Browns DID screw over the Bengals. And just like Dallas, Cincinnati has most of their money tied up in three players. And just like Dallas they have little to no Defense.

I heard they offered Darnold just a tad less than Seattle. Considering JJ McCarthy may come back & start this season (tho I think he's not a good NFL caliber QB, the Viking did pick him in the first round), and less money offered, it's not surprising Ssm went to Seattle. So yeah, all this Rogers BS could've been avoided if they'd have franchised the latter.

Yeah but now he has to hustle up to Toronto to start work on The Boys, which has been filming for a few weeks now.

I'm okay with it. They still have 3 streaks of 12 or more, including the longest of the year. They had to lose sometime, and better now than in the Playoffs. Sometimes great teams just lose to weak ones. It's a fluke, but it happens. They lost to the Hawks earlier this year. Better to rest guys and be healthy.
