Big Blue Huddle

Sorry to bore some people with this subject, but I'm a bit obsessed with it lately. Anyway, the more you learn about Sharon Tate, the more you appreciate the role Margot Robbie's depiction of her in the film. Here's a short clip of Tarantino and Robbie discussing how they brought a light on Tate's life. Interestingly (a little side note), Tarantino starts rattling off in Hebrew for a couple seconds. He learned to speak Hebrew after marrying his Jewish wife and then moved to Israel. He keeps a home in LA, but his primary residence is in a suburb of Tel Aviv. They have two children, both born in Israel. It's also kind of funny to hear Margot talk with sophistication when she isn't in character, as she is so well known as the evil "Harley Quinn" (crazy whackjob girlfriend of the Joker in "Suicide Squad"), or "Barbie" in her recent movie of the same name


Another short clip on the making of Sharon Tate. I wasn't aware she was a tryout for Peticoat Junction, and also worked with Tina Louise from Gilligan's Island

I've been dying to use this

For Brunson to struggle yet team be so competitive in a game speaks volumes abiut the team.

Here's my question now.  Are they really better with Randle?  I am not sure.

I'm not sure either Phil. As I said above, with Randle you get sometimes great play, but you pay a very big overall price for it. He's often very unreliable handling the ball and can be very poor with shot selection. When you net it all out I'm not sure if he's a net value-add, especially factoring in price. We know that other teams aren't interested in taking on his contract, so that tells you something right there. I'd also add that the Knicks were without him for a long time this year and seemed to do just fine.

My observation from last year's camp was a woefully under prepared team that had not had enough live full contact practices.

I hope that changes.

True I forgot about that.  I think their backups were better though.  Coaching had been their biggest problem.

Can't answer until we find one 

Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 10:52:00 AMIt makes me question PFF.  Chargers have had much more talent on offense across multiple positions than Giants.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 10:45:56 AMI'm with you across the board.

If I'm Rose, I'm looking at ways to move on from Randle and Mitch after this season. Mitch is additive when healthy, but he has multi-month absences, and then the moment he comes back he's clutching his ankle and grimacing the first time he lands on it, and the cycle starts again. I just don't see how they can keep doing this. Plus Hartenstein is going to command a lot more money moving forward, and I don't want to lose him.

With Randle it's a combination of erratic and often sloppy play, injuries, and a sometimes toxic attitude. I understand that when he's on, he can be dominant, but you pay a big price for all of that (on top of the financial price, which is also very big).

The heart of this team is the Nova-3 and OG now, IMO, with nice contributions from a few other guys like Deuce and Hartenstein. They definitely need one more player after that, but they have the assets to make a move when the opportunity is right.

So true Dave.  Nova 3 and Ono.

Believe he regurgitated up a WR1.
