This guy is a bit of a distraction

Biden says you can't get sick if you get vaccinated.

The one thing that I keep coming back to is that the OL is such a question mark from top to bottom. There is not 1 player that is even in the conversation as a sure thing much less a pro bowl type. I don

Dave,
I don't think anyone is arguing that he is likely to be or he is surely going to be a problem. However, there are many of us who feel there is a reason for concern, with all the issues that have gone on. I would add his retweet Cole Beasley's anti-vax message to the negative side of Toney's ledger (won't it be great if Toney costs the Giants a game because he gets Covid and infects enough of his fellow players that the Giants have to forfeit?). As for some of the other Tweets, I appreciate they could prove to be harmless, but I can't completely rule out that they could be red flags.
I would say if there weren't character issues with Toney coming out of college, it would be easier to dismiss everything. Since he did have character issues, how things have gone since he was drafted has done nothing to assuage concerns. For all I know, most of the "odd" behavior was the Giants hiding an injury issue Toney was dealing with (Giants don't have to give injury information this time of year).
Hopefully in a week or two this whole issue will be behind us

LOVED Rain Man. Cruise was good in this movie, but so overshadowed by Hoffman.

Agree completely. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Again, no ofre3nse to either of these actors, and I enjoy most of their movies and roles.
I would agree that Pitt has tried to expand his resume a lot more than say Cruise and has earned the respect of many in and out of Hollywood.

Not sure I agree Lenn.
Now I'm not pounding the drum to get Pitt an Oscar or anything, but I think he does have a more diverse career than people realize. If you're looking for more "serious / diverse" roles, he's also been in:
A River Runs Through it
Se7en
Meet Joe Black
Spy Game
Moneyball
Benjamin Button
He's done drama, action, comedy, sci fi, and most everything else in between. I just think he flies under the radar when discussing the "greats". Although, a lot of times people in all walks of life aren't appreciated for how good they do something until they're not doing it anymore.

I have been binge-watching Apple's Ted Lasso (Apple TV is dirt cheap). It's a feel-good comedy that is really enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

Any take on the Yankees who were vaccinated and now have Covid? One game PPD.

Once you mentioned it, I agree about Freeman. Great guy, good actor, but most of his parts are about the same and what range does he have? Not one of the 30 best ever?
Even Gary Oldman, a few excellent parts, Oscar-winning role, but is that a career?
And, like you, not to be shot, or anything, but James Dean?. While he was excellent in his 3 movie roles, that is all he ever did THREE movies. To be in the top 15 or so, actors of all time from 3 movies--WOW.
AND, Bogey is my favorite all time actor and he has made some memorable pix and was truly a great actor, but best of all time, #1, well............
Maybe if I had to name one it would be Sir Lawrence Olivier as truly the best actor of all time, even if I didn't like many of his pix.
You mentioned Clint Eastwood, another of my favs, but was he really a great actor in Dirty harry movies, Spaghetti Westerns? Most enjoyable movies but if you say that, where would you put someone like Errol Flynn?
Anyway, a good topic for discussion, as Jim, alluded to, depending on your age.
