He needs to go ahead and retire soon so he can be on TV somewhere full-time. Guy is absolute gold. :lol:

I’m a huge YouTube documentary watcher. And it’s taking over all the original channels content. Usually with some fake accent and a lame video montage of pictures that don’t even pertain the the subject. A cheater way to get clicks and free money for creators that do little work.

The voices on those are terrible. You can tell immediately when a video has an AI voice because of its inflection on certain words and it makes the whole thing unwatchable. Awful.
I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it with this many guys involved. Going into the season, just as an example, here were Phil Steele's top 10 quarterbacks:

1. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
2. Arch Manning, Texas
3. Cade Klubnik, Clemson
4. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State
5. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
6. Drew Allar, Penn State
7. Carson Beck, Miami
8. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA
9. Haynes King, Georgia Tech
10. Rocco Becht, Iowa State

Mendoza was 14th.

And several other outlets had rankings with most of the same guys.

It's wild how everybody seemed to get it so wrong this year.

AI coming to a McDonald's near you

To the surprise of no one.

quote:

McDonald's, in partnership with Google, will introduce AI across all stores, aiming to improve order accuracy, staff efficiency and customer satisfaction

McDonald's is on the verge of a new era which will see the global fast-food giant introduce AI to its 43,000 outlets worldwide.

The aim? To boost order accuracy, customer satisfaction and employee productivity.

“Everybody's talking about AI,” says Chris Kempczinski, CEO of McDonald's. "We've got a number of teams looking at how we can use AI to deliver an even better experience for our customers and for our crew members."

quote:

The company is exploring the integration of voice AI technology in its drive-throughs and kiosks. A prior collaboration with IBM tested automated order taking systems at drive-through locations, although the tests were plagued by challenges.

Now, shifting focus to accuracy and reliability, McDonald's is delving into computer vision capabilities.

Computer vision will use in-store cameras to verify the accuracy of orders before they reach the customer.

Brian also hinted at how the company is looking to create a “generative AI virtual manager” that will take on administrative tasks to ease the burden on store managers.

quote:

“Our restaurants, frankly, can be very stressful,” he said. “We have customers at the counter, we have customers at our drive-through, couriers coming in for delivery at curbside.

“That's a lot to deal with for our crew,” said Brian. “Technology solutions will alleviate the stress.”

He detailed the simultaneous demands of in-store customers, drive-through services and delivery operations, acknowledging the pressure placed on staff.

AI's role extends beyond customer service – behind the scenes, it's set to revolutionise McDonald's maintenance and operational efficiencies as well.

The chain plans to equip vital kitchen appliances, such as fryers and McFlurry machines, with sensors.

In theory, these AI-powered sensors will facilitate predictive maintenance and notify staff about potential equipment failures, ensuring proactive problem management before operational impacts occur.

McRobots taking us into the future.
Dude's got a whole arse conference under his name :lol:

For sure. If Cregger can't give us a good RE adaptation, I'm not sure it can be done.

There are definitely problems to fix (contracts, the ridiculous layoffs between playoff games, etc) but I do like how it seems to be trending towards more parity now. I hated seeing the same handful of teams hoard all the talent on their two-deeps every year.
That he couldn't find a quarterback after Ben retired, which created a ceiling on how far they could go.

I enjoyed his Evil Dead movie a lot, so I'll give this a chance. I appreciate them going back to horror with it.

So he just up and disappeared and Melissa Gilbert has gone radio silent?

Seems that way, yeah. Weird stuff.
quote:

In October 2025, one of the parents reported to Child Protective Services that her child disclosed alleged sexual abuse by Timothy Busfield.

One child actor later claimed that Busfield first touched his "private areas" multiple times on set when he was just seven years old.

The following year, the child alleged that the inappropriate contact happened again on several occasions.

The boy reportedly explained that he was "afraid to tell anyone because Tim was the director, and he feared Tim would get mad at him."

Investigators also interviewed therapists and medical professionals as part of the inquiry.

According to the affidavit, one of the children told a therapist that Busfield touched his "genitalia" and "bottom" while in a bedroom on the set.

The document notes that the child experienced bed-wetting "along with other behavior issues," was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and suffered nightmares "about the director touching him."

quote:

The criminal complaint also outlines a separate internal investigation conducted by Warner Bros.

The studio reportedly received an anonymous tip through the SAG-AFTRA hotline in February 2025 concerning a December 2024 incident.

While Warner Bros. investigated the claims, the studio later said it did not find evidence to support them.

Despite that conclusion, the criminal complaint includes additional allegations. It claims Timothy Busfield once entered a hair and makeup trailer and "kissed a minor male on the face as the minor was getting a haircut."

It also alleges that "there are pictures of Mr. Busfield' tickling and caressing the head and body of minor boys.'"

Honestly this is a pretty heartbreaking quote.

This thread made me laugh so have yourself an upvote :lol:

I’m a huge fan of JH as a coach because of the grit he displayed as a player.

That was such a fun team. He didn't even begin that year as the starter, they threw him in because Erickson sucked and he took them to their first playoffs since the 80s.

If anybody hasn't seen that AFC Championship hail mary, it's at the end of this:



EDIT: NFL being dickheads again I see.
Going to show my age here a bit, but I remember the 1995 AFC Championship Game being an exciting game for neutral fans. Seeing the Colts sneak into the playoffs led by Jim Harbaugh's resurgence at QB, won two road playoff games (including at #1 KC), went back-and-forth with Pittsburgh and ended up one play from the Super Bowl when a hail mary hit the WR right in the chest as he was falling down and he couldn't find it. shite was heartbreaking.
