I'm pretty happy with Morris, he was interim coach for the Falcons after they fired Quinn, the record didn't set the world on fire that year, but the team showed a lot more fight under Morris after starting 0-5 under Quinn.

Don't know if it that will help but at this point I sure don't think it hurts.
The nation of Canada will not be celebrating Thanksgiving this week in a show of solidarity.

On one hand he will have a big task in the post Othani Angels and possibly at some point post Trout if trout agrees to it (although as great as he is I have a hard thinking someone is going to take on that contract for a guy who hasn't been able to stay healthy). On the other hand he can't do any worse than the last couple guys.
Wash has been as beloved a figure as you'll find among Braves fans, will really miss his presence with the team.

The greater MCU was always the force multiplier for these movies. However relying on two Disney+ TV characters without the built in normie fan base that the Avengers bring proved to be not enough of a draw.
I do wonder is the movie would be projecting any better if they'd just called in Captain Marvel 2 and focused the marketing on Carol and Fury and Monica being Carol's niece all grown up, the last movie did make a billion dollars even if it was probably boosted by being between Infinity War and Endgame.

It seemed like Bob's was basically just a round meatball sub and Jimmy just topped a pizza with more pizza.

Unless there's a big twist that they've kept under wraps, it's an ... odd choice to devote so much of the final trailer to two characters who aren't in the movie and have only minimal connection to Carol.

It did get me thinking -- I'm curious if any of those who vehemently disliked The Last Jedi for artistic reasons changed their minds after The Rise of Skywalker.
Because it just felt to me like The Rise of Skywalker was JJ Abrams's very pointed, heavy-handed cinematic "fix-it" answer to The Last Jedi (and specifically to those who hated it), and unfortunately for me (and many critics) all those wishful fixes made for a pretty bad movie.
No, Rise made me dislike TLJ even more.
Rise, flawed as it is, actually tries to grow things from the burned and salted earth that TLJ left them in, but Johnson left behind almost nothing of value because TLJ seemingly has no ethos or purpose other than to tear down the things he didn't like in TFA.

The Braves also had a position player pitch, Nicky Lopez started at SS, went 4-6 with a HR and 5 RBI then took the mound and pitched a scoreless 9th.

Wait, they said that this was in 1941. Why was Alice's husband overseas "in the war"? We didn't enter the war until after Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. I know it's a "cartoon" but that bothered me for some reason. Also, it was very weird seeing Louise in bare feet.
There were American volunteers who went over to fight in the war before Pearl Harbor. The RAF had Eagle Squadrons comprised entirely of American pilots.

Shearer has said the Burns voice hurts his throat and he has to drink a lot of tea and honey to recover from voicing the character, so maybe that's finally caught up with him.
I thought that audio quality itself sounded a bit off though, like maybe he had to record it in a closet and send it in.

To me, the back end of the 2023 Yankees' bullpen is shaky so there's only one choice, Mariano Rivera.
If I had access to this power I'd be really tempted to bring back some HOF hitter from, like, the 1920s just to see what would happen when they had to face modern pitchers who are all throwing 100 mph with movement

People always say how good Bob's hamburgers are so why isn't he more successful? I get that he's probably not a very good businessman but it seems like there would be more people in the restaurant all the time.
I assume that the real world reason is that they don't want to have to animate a busy restaurant.
In Universe I would guess that the antics of the family and Teddy drive most new customers away after a few visits.

I’m wondering what CumHammer is skewering.
According to someone on reddit it's possibly a play on Cunningham Collective, a branding firm.

The idea of a king of Atlantis seems super generic to me so I am glad they went with something a bit more interesting. Plus it can still be the kind of thing where ancient people had their legend of a place called Atlantis but it was actually Namorn of Talokan they were seeing. Like how MCU Thor isn't exactly the name as Norse myth Thor.
Since they tied Namor's origin to the Spanish in the Americas this isn't really possible. Plato wrote about Atlantis in 360 BC, so over 1800 years before Namor would have been born.

This show is a brilliant satire of the modern gritty reboots and re-imaginings that have swept the entertainment landscape.

Also according to that tweet, Pujols was the most looked up player in Minnesota, but why? He's not even American League.
Because of his announced retirement, and his sprint to over 700 career HRs down the stretch.

I liked the respect, yet slight sexual tension between them. Namor is hot- I don’t blame Shuri.
I assume the Talokans were affected by the snap, (losing a large segment of their population) but the snap wasn’t discussed that much in this film. If we didn’t see T’challa’s son being so old (Nakia didn’t get snapped) we wouldn’t have any indicators the snap happened. The Eternals were what 8 members? Salma Hayek’s character mentioned how amazing humanity was that they were able to undo the snap, but I wasn’t surprised out of 8 Eternals none were snapped.
In the case of the Eternals
Spoilernone were snapped because they're not technically alive.

There's a bit of a weird disconnect for me over Homer's relationship with Abe being played for sympathy rather than comedy considering that Homer has been shown repeatedly strangling his own 10 year old son for the entire series but it's played for laughs rather than traumatic.
I don't want Homer to face a reckoning over it or anything, it's a cartoon and it's comedy, but it's always an odd line in the tonal sand where they decide when to have the characters treat over the top awful behavior as actually awful rather than just treating it like a mild annoyance for comedic fodder.

Holy St. Elsewhere.
I'll just never be a fan of the whole, "Everything you the viewer has been spending time consuming on for the last X episodes/films is actually fake and none of it matters, get a life you dorks" in universe reveal.
Yes, it was always fake, but it being blatantly acknowledged as fake within the fiction itself just kills my ability to suspend disbelief and actually enjoy what I'm watching.
As it stands now within the fiction of the MCU there is one person, Jen, with actual agency and the ability to make choices, everyone else is just a construct doing what they're made to do by writers.
Matt isn't making a choice to stay in town or jump into bed. Todd the Incel wasn't making a choice to harass anyone online. Blonsky doesn't make a choice to turn himself in. Tony Stark didn't make a choice to die to stop Thanos. Thanos never made a choice to wipe out half the universe. Oh, Hulk has a son? Why should I care at this point?
Oh well.

Yes, if it was a personal safety item like a helmet or mask it would make some sense, but a splintering bat is a safety issue for other players.

James Cameron Criticizes Marvel and DC Characters: ‘They All Act Like They’re in College‘ and ’Really Don‘t’ Have Relationships
By Zack Sharf Oct. 25, 2022
https://variety.com/2022/film/news/james-cameron-criticizes-marvel-dc-movie-characters-1235413857/I'm pretty sure at this point that all the different promotion/PR firms in Hollywood just instruct directors to take shots at superhero movies because it's the easiest way to get attention.
