    How does a team get 2nd and 59?

    Didn't look like a blindsided block to me---they only should have had 44 yards to go on 2nd down.

    CPAP, but I'm a nose breather and my CPAP, just goes to my nose---can't get any air when I'm sick. But, just thinking about it, I might get a full face mask and see if I can use it when I'm sick.

    Muhammad Ali - What am I missing?

    Wow, this thread really took a turn---shocker. Pre-suspension Ali was a heavy-weight with the defense and reflexes of a middleweight. Watching his early fights are great just to see him dodging punches nearly as they thrown. He was so impossibly fast and guys would just completely whiff and leave themselves totally defenseless to his counters. His left jab was incredibly accurate and the overhand right was deceptively powerful. Also you can't forget about his stamina, he looked fresh even in the late rounds. IMO, pre-suspension Ali might have been about as perfect of a fighter as you could put together. After the suspension though is when he fought some some wars and maybe the deepest heavyweight era of all-time, Frazier, Norton and Foreman, Quarry, Shavers and Patterson. Except for Quarry, all those guys won at least one championship belt. He wasn't the same fighter physically after the layoff, but he was still a brilliant tactician, and he just had so much will power to keep fighting. And yeah, it took it's toll on him as seen in his later years, it was tough to see him like that. Based on the pre-suspension dominance of his early career and then the post-suspension comeback where he beat so many great fighters and beat them all(until the very end) I have him ranked as the best ever.

    Caleb Williams is the real deal.

    One of our younger co-workers is a Bears fan and once they got number 1 paired with the 9 was convinced this was their season. He would send me tweets from the Bears training camp anytime Caleb completed a pass. Right before the season started he declared that the Bears would go 12-5 and then listed all the wins. The best part, even on a 10 game losing streak he's still talking trash. Naturally though, it's switched to the Packers and how they overpaid for Jordan Love or how good they are going to be when they get the offensive coordinator from the Lions. I think all the losing over the years has given him CTE.

    Death Pool Update: Linda Lavin at 87...

    My first job was in a diner that was nearly identical to Mel's, except with a view of a lake and on my first day all my expectations of it were based on her TV show. RIP

    Lincoln Lawyer...anyone watch.

    There were more serious ones, like A Time to Kill, but The Rainmaker was my favorite Grisham by a mile. There were parts of that book, finding the bugs in the office and using them against the defense, that literally had me laughing out loud, near tears to be honest. I just checked out his Wiki and realized I haven't read any of his books in years, any recommendations since say 2000?

    And I have no issues with that, as long as the people who don't want them are doing what they can to be healthy and preventing the spread of diseases. I respect peoples right to be cautious about what they put in their body. I hope they will respect and understand my circumstances and do what they can to not infect me with something that might have been preventable.

    Vaccines work

    About 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I pretty much only breathe through my nose, so if I get anything that stuffs up my nose, my sleep is interrupted around 45 times an hour. I get the flu, which for most means a week of being sick and sleeping, for me means a week of being sick and not sleeping. It takes me 20 to 40% longer to recover from illnesses like that, just from the exhaustion. So yeah, I take every vaccine that comes down the pipe that raises my odds of not getting sick.

    Glad I checked the thread before posting, just saw this and they seem solid theories at this stage of the investigation.
  21. @TimHauckI have no clue what argument is about, but just wanted to chime in that ESAC is pretty much on point about breaking down the box office numbers and profits. The only one I have read differently is In the US they claim almost 90-95% of the box office. It's really hard to know US numbers because the percentage that they get can depend on the movie and week of release. For instance, for the first two weeks of Avengers Endgame, the studio might get 90% of the receipts with the theater making their money on concessions. After 2 weeks, the percent will often slide more to the theater. This is why for studios, that opening weekend and first 2 weeks are so important for the studios and why the will market their movies so much. That's why figuring out what makes a movie profitable, the multiplier is such a large range 2-2.5x. I'm assuming that ESAC probably just wasn't aware of the sliding percentage and only knew of the initial cuts studios can get on their big tent pole pictures. There is so much more though, especially when it comes to studio accounting. Take this quote: If you read the entire article, you will see that the studios have claimed to lost money on Harry Potter/Phoenix and Bohemian Rhapsody, both of which brought in over 900 million---the mob wishes it had studio accountants doing their books.

    Basically, lawyer gets case that is more than it seems. If you read the book, I think this actor makes a better Haller than MM did---but that might just be more time for character development.
