Womans: Ronda Rousey I still think they're going for Ronda vs Becky one on one match for Mania. There really isnt anyone else that they've built up enough to challenge her. Shayna would be the fallback option maybe. Mens: Roman Reigns I think Brock is in the rumble to be eliminated by his WM opponent. Probably be a surprise entrant. Rumor has it Vince is looking at Cain Velasquez or Tyson Fury for Lesnar at WM so this makes me think a SD superstar wins it and sadly Roman is the only guy and can see challenging The Fiend at Mania. I can see Roman Reigns winning the Royal Rumble, but I still think they're setting up for Charlotte Flair to win the Royal Rumble. They keep reminding the WWE Universe every week that the Queen is a 10-time women's champion, has won every woman's singles title in the WWE, has ended Asuka's undefeated streak, has main-evented WrestleMania and the only thing the Queen hasn't done is win a Royal Rumble.

It's not stupid at all. The Black Panther should never have been nominated. I think even the honest fans of that movie would agree. It's a middle of the road superhero film. At best. could simply be it almost all the black members of the Academy voting for it due to the quote unquote "cultural significance" of the movie.
There's nothing "culturally significant" about Black Panther. The entire plot of Black Panther is "angry black man wants to strike back at the white men for a history of oppression".

WRONG!!! When a King is killed and a new King hasn't been coronated yet because there are still multiple claimants to the throne, that doesn't mean the dead King is still King. When the King is killed, he's no longer King. The Titans have eliminated the Patriots so the Patriots are no longer the champs.
The Patriots were defeated, they are not dead. They have risen from the ashes many times before, after you proclaimed them dead and buried. The Patriots ARE dead and buried. This weekend 8 teams will continue to play to advance to the next round. The Patriots are not among those 8 teams. Because the Patriots have been eliminated. The Patriots ARE dead and buried!

Probably because the rest of the NFL didn't like the way that asshole McDaniels screwed over the Colts last year. In any business, if you interview for a job and accept a job offer and then go back on the agreement, you've wasted the company's time and money. In the NCAA, when a player commits to a school and later decides he doesn't want to go to that school, he has to sit out a year before he can play for another school. That's what the NFL should've done to those assholes Belichick (after he accepted the Jets offer and then went back on his agreement) and McDaniels (after he accepted the Colts offer and then went back on his agreement). Both Belichick and McDaniels should've been suspended from coaching for 1 year after accepting an offer and then going back on their agreement. But once again, Robert Kraft's best friend the Commissioner lets those assholes get away without any punishment. Why? Do you have a job? Have you ever had a job? Twice last year our company had management openings where we hired someone and they backed out at the last minute (in both instances it was clear they were using us as leverage to get raises at their current respective positions). Now you can say it's dirty dealing on their part, but nobody in their right mind would expect them to be suspended from aerospace for a year. That isn't the way the world works. This is the third time you've posted this shit. Please don't take part in conversations in which you can't provide an adult's perspective. (In other words, don't talk at all.) You've obviously never worked before. Because you're too dumb to know that the hiring process for most companies takes a lot of time and money. They go through a lot of resumes, schedule just a handful of interviews (because they don't have time to interview every applicant), and interview the applicants they most want. If an applicant goes through the whole process and accepts a job offer and the later backs out of the agreement, they've just wasted the company's time and money and the company has to go through the hiring process again. No company likes that. Belichick and McDaniels accepting job offers and then backing out of their agreement is equivalent to a college non-senior entering the draft, getting drafted, and then saying "I don't like the team that drafted me so I'm staying in college for another year". Fortunately, that's not allowed. If they enter the draft and they don't like the team that drafted them, they don't get to go back and play another year in college. In the player's case, he didn't have a choice which team he got drafted. Belichick and McDaniels actually had a choice and they chose to accept the jobs they were offered. And then those 2 assholes backed out on their agreements and wasted the Jets' and Colts' time. Those 2 assholes should've been suspended from coaching in the NFL for 1 year for pulling such an asshole stunt. But Robert Kraft's best friend the Commissioner once again let those assholes get away with that asshole stunt with no punishment at all.

Just the Browns job left. This was supposed to be the year he was moving on, but four of the five open jobs are now closed - - unless he goes as a package deal with Brady somewhere or takes the Browns job. Probably because the rest of the NFL didn't like the way that asshole McDaniels screwed over the Colts last year. In any business, if you interview for a job and accept a job offer and then go back on the agreement, you've wasted the company's time and money.

Giants hiring Patriots WR coach Joe Judge to be their new head coach. I know nothing about the guy but hopefully for his sake he’ll fare better than literally every other Belichick assistant that took head coaching jobs. So the Giants went with Pats WR coach Judge instead of Pats OC McDaniels. Probably because the rest of the NFL didn't like the way that asshole McDaniels screwed over the Colts last year.

No Black Panther. Dark Knight never got one
Oh, My Mistake then.
Thank You for correcting me on that.
Black Panther got an Oscar nomination for Best Picture because the Academy was afraid of being labeled racist if they didn't nominate Black Panther. So if Joker receives an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, Joker will be the 1st CBM to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture based solely on merit and not on the use of any race card.

Do you think it will be a success this time? Another failure? Or do you think it will just do OK? According to critics that watched the actual games during its first run, they said it was boring football with a tawdry broadcast style. Well if you take away the tawdry broadcast style, as well as its close association with pro wrestling, will that still make for boring football? Many people didn't take it seriously before partly because of its association with pro wrestling. Will they take it seriously now without the pro wrestling association? sports.yahoo.com/xfl-unveil-rules-innovations-kicks-010337232.htmlThen 1,2, and 3-point conversions after a TD sound cool.

You're complaining about the Cowboys complying with the rules when the Patriots are known for breaking the rules? This is as whiny as Belichick complaining to the refs that Vrabel was violating the spirt of the rules with the intentional delay of game and false start before punting. If Belichick didn't want Vrabel running down the clock, then Belichick should've taken a timeout instead of complaining to the refs. Do you consider that an honorable way to do business? Belichick interviewed with the Jets, accepted their job offer, and then went back on the agreement. McDaniels interviewed with the Colts, accepted their job offer, and then went back on the agreement. Do you consider that an honorable way to do business? Because NO business person considers that honorable! In any business, when you interview with a company and accept a job offer and then go back on the agreement, you've wasted the company's time and money.

The Patriots are the most-hated team in American sports so it's not unusual to see many anti-Patriots threads. The Patriots had a player who was convicted of murder a couple years ago, the head coach and QB are known cheaters, and the owner is going to charged with soliciting prostitution. Has literally nothing to do with anything, stay on topic you gibbering shit sandwich. It was sostie who mentioned the anti-Patriots threads.

Panthers are hiring Matt Rhule. So much for that McDaniels idea. Hard to see another team willing to interview McDaniels after the way he screwed over the Colts.

He apparently went full analytics study during the year and put together a team and strategies, and could have held practice right out of the gate. Which is why Jerry forced him into a sleepover. On ESPN, "They interviewed Marvin Lewis to satisfy the Rooney Rule..." Ouch, we know that's true, but it's not like he was one of those dudes they bring in just for those checklist interviews. Really defeats the point when you admit as much. When you're openly violating the spirit of the rule, you should be fined. "We had no intention of hiring this clown, but they said we had to interview a black guy." Seriously, it's a shitty thing for a team to say in all respects. You're complaining about the Cowboys complying with the rules when the Patriots are known for breaking the rules? This is as whiny as Belichick complaining to the refs that Vrabel was violating the spirt of the rules with the intentional delay of game and false start before punting.

So this "Freshman" has started 5 threads...2 "anti" Marvel, 3 "anti" Patriots. The Patriots are the most-hated team in American sports so it's not unusual to see many anti-Patriots threads. The Patriots had a player who was convicted of murder a couple years ago, the head coach and QB are known cheaters, and the owner is going to charged with soliciting prostitution.

Guess who will still be the NFL world champs after next weekend? ... and the weekend after that ... and the following weekend? That's right - the N.E. Patriots! WRONG!!! When a King is killed and a new King hasn't been coronated yet because there are still multiple claimants to the throne, that doesn't mean the dead King is still King. When the King is killed, he's no longer King. The Titans have eliminated the Patriots so the Patriots are no longer the champs.

As of Right Now, Who do you yourself think will Win the 2020 Men and Women's "ROYAL RUMBLE" Matches, Who do you yourself think should Win them, and Who do you yourself want to see Win them ?
For an Example, Here are My own Answers Below!
Men's ROYAL RUMBLE Match
WILL WIN - Brock Lesnar
SHOULD WIN - Kofi Kingston
I MYSELF WANT TO SEE WIN - The Rock
Women's ROYAL RUMBLE Match
WILL WIN - Charlotte Flair
SHOULD WIN - Shayna Baszler
I MYSELF WANT TO SEE WIN - Paige ----------------------------------------------
What does everybody else here think ?
Looks like they're setting up for Brock Lesnar and Charlotte Flair to win the Royal Rumble.

It's a fair question. Has Brady gone off a cliff? His line was terrible, his receivers tied for 3rd most drops in the NFL, they had no running game, nonexistent TEs and two rookie receivers that don't know where to run. That said, Brady was erratic with some of his throws all year. That pick six (first since 2017) yesterday was a throw to nobody. Word is the elbow injury that had him on the injury list recently is worse than he's letting on; of course he denies he's injured at all because he's not an excuse maker.
As someone once said, (paraphrasing) when you're young, you're just in a slump-- but when you're old, you're just old. I don't know. I know his stats weren't great yesterday and he threw a pick six in the 2nd qtr; yet the offense scored 24 points and gave the team the lead late in the 4th quarter. Should be good enough to win against a 4-11 team, but I digress...
It's going to be an interesting offseason. I think no matter what happens in the playoffs, McDaniels is off to greener pastures. If Brady has to start over with a new OC, I think he'd rather do it away from Belichick. And again, I think he wants more money than the Patriots would ever consider giving him (and I don't disagree with that philosophy on their part, by the way) at this point in his career.
It's been a hell of a run, but come championship or first round exit, this is the end of the Patriots run as we've known it. (I can hear you popping the cork from here.)
This postseason is apparently the "Revenge Tour" according to Kyle Van Noy. After all, the Titans beat them last season! They must avenge this wound. The "Revenge Tour" has ended early!

I always liked Christian Bale as an actor so it's nice that he's finally going to be in a good comic book movie. Bale's already been in 3 good CBMs.
