I think the movie looks better than the book was.
I read the book, and while I enjoyed it, I certainly didn't see the vision for a movie out of it. It's just kinda... good enough for a weekend read, I guess?

To the OP, look through ESPN's playoff matchups, and just pick a team. Based on proximity, sweater design, logo, whatever. Doesn't matter. Just pick one and watch. Or, settle in for a game and see who you're innately hoping will win. My 2-year-old pulled for the Capitals against the Pens because "red is cool." That's reason enough, honestly.

Dunno. Anaheim is plucky, and has some interesting talent. I could see them giving Colorado a serious scare.

I love the way the Hurricanes play. They're an interesting bunch, and should be a really tough out.
In the west, Dallas/Minnesota has bad blood. Anaheim and Utah are interesting, and could make noise. Colorado is a machine.

Atlanta has beaten both of them and the Cavs in the last couple of weeks.
This Hawks team, since they traded Young, is legitimately good.

This is why you don’t do the field sobriety test. Once they start asking you to do tests, they have made up their mind they are arresting you. The test is just to give them evidence to use against you.
In Georgia, refusing the test itself is a factor in your arrest. They'll arrest you, anyway, and put you in jail for the night.
Happened to me. I was sober/DD. Get pulled over around 2 am. Pass the sobriety test, but cop is convinced I'm under influence. Go to station, blow, 0.02, which is below every legal limit in GA. Cop takes me to have my blood drawn for drugs. Results come back weeks later, and shows I'm completely sober.
Still get formally charged with DUI. State doesn't drop charges.
This is a legit problem.

Of all the NHL retread coaches, DeBoer I understand the absolute least.
What is it that people see in this guy? His Panthers teams were atrocious, and the Devils and Stars underachieved with him, as well. How does this guy keep getting jobs?

surprised that there hasn't been a comedy curling movie.
There's something here. Play up the stakes, as if the world shuts down for curling and curling updates. Two otherwise irrelevant countries, say Denmark and South Korea, have to curl against each other for internationally renowned dominance and Unipolar Supremacy. Mads Mikkelsen and Bobby Lee can be the respective captains, and they have to focus on the match of their lives while having international supermodels just throw themselves at them.
Call it Cold War.

The Falcons have one of the best throwback looks in the entire league and they are averse to just wearing them as their full time unis for some odd reason. A great uniform is right there and they miss every time they redo them.
The Falcons' marketing dept explained this, as misguided as I think it was. In essence, that look is so iconic and beloved that they want to keep it a Throwback, and wear it several times per year.
Dumb.

doubt people walking into a noon kick App State vs Michigan thought they were about to watch a soon to be very famous game. It was supposed to be an uneventful non conference cupcake.
I remember watching the ESPN halftime show during that game. Lou Holtz and Mark May were still on air, and while May and Rece Davis were talking about how Michigan was going to turn it on in the second half, Holtz was the only one who said App State could absolutely win that game. He made the argument that App State was used to playing in close games, and had the mental edge in that they weren't afraid and knew how to win in the clutch.
When the game was over, Holtz looked like a prophet, while everyone else was trying to figure out how it happened.

Exactly. The Vick/Ryan era uniforms were unchanged for almost 20 years.
The crap they wore under Arthur Smith and Raheem Morris needed to be thrown into the sun. They were awful.
These are fine. Nothing fancy, but I think that's the point.

Utah is looking like they will get in, and make some noise. There's a lot to like about this Mammoth team.
No, Nashville does not need the Grizzlies. There isn't enough corporate support to have two winter major league teams in Nashville.
Grizzlies should stay in Memphis. Preds are in Nashville. Everyone wins. Except LeBron, who is a bitch.

Patriots/Falcons 28-3 Super Bowl
In hindsight, this shouldn't be seen as a surprise anymore. That Falcons team lost several games in the exact same way: building a big lead, and an undersized defense getting exhausted as the opponent established any level of rhythm or identity. The Falcons had an excellent offensive juggernaut, but their defense was small, fast, and prone to getting worn down. Belichick, saw that and realistically allowed the Falcons to begin tiring. When they did, he and Brady pounced. No other team *probably* could have done what the Patriots did, but, that's also what made them so incredibly good during their run.
Kyle Shanahan has since done the *exact* same thing two more times in the Super Bowl, as the 9ers blew big leads and didn't take control of the clock/momentum down the stretch. His offenses, and that iteration of the Falcons defense, had a fatal Achilles heel.
