    Here's what you need to know about it: Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack and they are top billed, not Jared Leto. This movie is screwed. And I like NIN but it looks like blockbuster slop

    The more I see of the Smashing Machine the more I think its a really fake oscar bait movie, and I can't care. It's going to get murdered by the even less interesting Tron Ares.

    The Ravens are having a repeating 4th quarter issue and its getting worse and worse. They will get to the Wild Card no issue off schedule strength, but past that? I would have called the Bills...

    I would have called the Bills game an unexpected defeat but the Lions game was easily winnable and they collapsed in the 2nd quarter. Is John Harbaugh as good as he thinks he is?

    Like? I was told a month ago I am getting replaced with someone in India in October. So no, I don't like it anymore. I LIKED it because the project management was never onerous.
