    Plus Judge hasn't exactly been Mr. October throughout the rest of his time. His career postseason BA is .205 (58 games), so the small sample size argument is falling apart. There are a lot of player who think true greatness is performing well under real pressure (see all the people who criticize Mike Trout) and for the most part Judge hasn't.
  2. Well, yes, we're supposed to be feeling bad because being an asshole as a youngster doesn't mean you're irredeemable in this franchise. Tory was ready to maim Sam at the end of season 2 brawl. Chozen ziplined way on stage and was ready to murder Daniel. Both of them are now (mostly) heroic characters.
  3. I can't see her lasting more than one season. She looks petrified almost every time she's out there, which is weird for a comedian. If you hate being on camera then wow, did you choose the wrong career.
  4. It's an old argument, but I think those two rings have to get him in. The real fun will be when Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers come up. I think they're comparable (and maybe even a little better) than Eli, but no rings is a real downer for their cases. Is being above average for a long time enough? In basketball, the answer (for better or worse) is yes. I'm not so sure about football.
  5. John Henry said he'd gradually lose his powers, but at the end Clark added on the tidbit of his heart possibly only lasting as long as Sam's natural lifespan. Realistically, that's another 20-30 years, while Lois should have 40-50 left. Quite the flip of the usual worry of Clark long outlasting Lois.
  6. For such a smart person, Lois was shockingly naive about the fallout from Clark's reveal. A whole lot of people are going to think she was (at best) able to build up her career because it's a lot easier to be fearless when Superman has your back. At worst, she convinced him to use his powers to spy on the baddies for her, which is one heck of an unfair advantage. There's not really enough time to dive into Gordon's usual comic associates, so maybe he's just a standard hack on this earth. Calling it now - the finale will be Clark passing the superhero torch to his kids.

    Ichiro is guaranteed to get in, and Sabathia has the best chance among the rest of the newcomers. As for the holdovers, Billy Wagner will probably get the phone call too.
  8. He'll probably say Daniel should have yelled Knife! instead of trying to rush over there himself. If the tournament goes forward (of course it will, they'll just blame everything on the Russians) then Axel needs to drop out if they want one of our heroes to win. Maybe he'll blame himself for Kwon's death even though he shouldn't.
  9. She's not dragging herself to a regular season game in Buffalo. Aaron Rodgers is probably hoping for a position (deputy HHS secretary?) in the new administration, right? He's so checked out now I can't imagine he's planning to play after this season, and it wouldn't be shocking if he has to sit because of some "injury".
  10. The political sketch they need to do is Kamala commiserating with Hilary about how they'll go down in history as the two candidates who lost to Donald Trump.

    Some people have tried to push him as Barkley 2.0. Barkley had his issues as a player: there was one incident where he tried to spit at a heckler but got a little girl instead. Draymond's rep seems more in line with Bill Laimbeer, a man so hated that Robert Parish was allowed to hit him in the head with his forearm without being called for a foul.
  12. Ah, the global version of the karate brawl we had at the end of season 2. It's so ridiculous it's awesome. So in real life is this the lead story on CNN and ESPN? Massive karate brawl at tournament leads to death of participant, all broadcast live? Russians are still the villains?
  13. Can you imagine how many crooks have initiated a violent physical confrontation with Superman? Do you think he's filled the Metropolis ER rooms with mooks on life support because hey, they started it? Superman is not Batman.
  14. Yeah - I can't see them doing a complete switch with Olympia at this point, so there's no way she was actively involved with the opioid case. Julian comes across as well meaning but also oblivious to certain things. Senior is still the most likely suspect, especially since Beau Bridges is only a recurring character.
  15. It was a lost cause when Lex figured out - he'd always be able to hold it over their heads. That being said, it was short sighted of him to waste it on Candice's dad. Let's hope Jonathan and Jordan never planned to go to college or hold down a real job because that's a pipe dream now.
