NFL Quiz: Amari Cooper is the first rookie since 1961 with three 100-yd receiving games in his team’s first six games. Name the last player to do it. - ML Oct 28, 11:50 15
- Frank Gifford -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:57
- Rod Tidwell -- nm - jangles Oct 28, 11:56
- I confused it all --- Mike Ditka -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:56 3
  - There it is! Yes, Mike Ditka--who went all Gronk on the league in 1961 with 1076 receiving yards and 12 TDs. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 11:57 2
    - Ooo, I should've gotten that but I was thinking of WR not TE. -- nm - Baron Bostwick as Brad Majors Oct 28, 12:10
    - Another interesting note: Stefon Diggs was 13 yards short in week #4 from doing the same. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 12:03
- I really would have thought Anquan Boldin did that. From the way you phrased the question, my guess is Paul Hornung. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:55 1
  - It looks like Boldin was 9 yards away. -- nm - David Oct 28, 12:03
- Another hint: the player in question *was,* in fact, primarily a pass-catcher during his NFL career. - ML Oct 28, 11:55 1
  - Hmm, Gene Upshaw was a lineman. Pat Sumerall was a kicker. I'm having a hard time figuring out possibilities. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:58
- Randy Moss -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:53

Ash vs Evil Dead renewed for second season. -- (link) - Ender Oct 28, 11:39 18
- This season has been solid. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 12:00 3
  - Wait, what? Ash doesn't start until this weekend I thought. Did I miss it? -- nm - sycor Oct 28, 12:07 2
    - Dude, it has been great. Hence the renewal. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 12:08 1
      - I don't get Starz. I didn't know if I had missed something about it premiering early. -- nm - sycor Oct 28, 12:14

  - what's The Brink? -- nm - decline Oct 28, 11:52 4
    - A brilliant HBO show that deserved a better fate. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:56 3
      - Reading the news on this however, I believe there are more shoes to drop. Sounded more like negotiating than cancelling. -- nm - rollo Oct 28, 12:05 1
        
        My guess is that something about the season 2 plot caused HBO to freak. -- nm - David Oct 28, 12:06
      - didn't get renewed? -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 12:03
  - Wait, the Brink was not renewed? -- nm - rollo Oct 28, 11:45 6
    - They changed their mind yesterday. It really sucks. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:47 4
      - oh bummer. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 12:05

        I say it more often than Bender says shiny metal ass, but absolutely yes. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:56 1
        
        * shiny daffodil ass -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 13:00
    - It was renewed, then it was un-renewed. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 11:46

for those who have seen Kingsman : Secret Service, what grade did you give it? -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:33 53
- B. an over the top Save The World spy movie. Think Bond in the Roger Moore era taken to the Nth degree. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 12:10
- A-. If a movie can make me tolerate, if not somewhat like "Freebird", it is a fantastic movie -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:46 10
  - Best action/fight scene in...I don't even know how long. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:47 9
    - can I put here that The Player has some nice fight scenes - actual creative ones - mixed in with the most boringest stereo type action bits too - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:51 3
      - I'm going to make David's head explode but...Revenge of the Sith's Anakin v Ben fight is choreographed really well. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 12:19 1
        
        Two words: "Higher ground." -- nm - David Oct 28, 12:35
      - Everytime somebody posts about The Player, I think of the movie with Tim Robbins - amoxy Oct 28, 12:04
    - it is really right there with the crazy 88 fight in kill bill for me, but in style and substance. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:49 2
      - Yep. And like amoxy said below...some of the John Wick stuff. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:51 1
        
        And another one that slid under the radar "American Ultra". Had a couple of good fight scenes -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:55
    - John Wick had a pretty good one in the nightclub -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 11:48 1

    - Yeah but now you get two hours for living in the past. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:45 1
      - dang it! -- nm - Pippy Zombie Salsa Dancer Oct 28, 11:49
- C on a good day. Two *BIG* problems with it. - Mop Oct 28, 11:38 16
  - My joke at the time was that there are so many holes with the plot that it's a functional colander. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:41
  - I don't...um...yeah, I'm not sure I remember all the infanticide in the movie. Hmmmm -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:40 7
    - Logical assumption, I guess - like all the Death Star construction workers. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:43 4
      - Sure, if one of the death star workers had been depicted getting almost blow'd up -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:43 3
        
        Maybe the endings of Man of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness are better examples. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:49 2
        
        Hmm, I didn't like them, either. At least I'm consistent. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:59
        
        Man of Steel, at least, seems to have consequences in the sequel. - Mop Oct 28, 11:58
    - It wasn't depicted, but it was exceptionally strongly suggested. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:42 1
      - While not overtly discussed, this movie movies from action/adventure/comedy to apocalyptic disaster film in the blink of an eye. - Mop Oct 28, 11:44
  - wow, just wow. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:40 6
    - I know, right? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 11:40 5
      - I don't even know where to begin with your views on this. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:41 4
        
        Are you suggesting that in the world of this film, what I described didn't happen? -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 11:45 2
        
        sort of, yeah. - groiny Oct 28, 11:48 1
        
        The deaths still happened. - Mop Oct 28, 11:57
        
        Don't. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:44
- A-. Really fun. -- nm - pmb Oct 28, 11:37 1
  - I also put it up there, I watched it twice on Saturday. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:38
- D. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:35 8
  - I'm fairly certain Mark Millar is an actual sociopath. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 11:45 3
    - Yeah, Mark Millar being behind it is the main reason I haven't watched it yet. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 11:54 1
      - this -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 12:18
    - His hatred of humanity is deeply unsettling. - David Oct 28, 11:46
  - it is all starting to make sense now...... -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 11:36 1

  - ~one of these things is not like the others~ -- nm - decline Oct 28, 11:36
  - My brother. -- nm - Loyola Oct 28, 11:35

- A- -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:34
- A. Loved it!! One of my favorites in a while. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:34
- A-, I think. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 11:34
- I think about an A-. Maybe higher. It was really entertaining. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:34 1
  - Apparently I rated Paddington a B, which lead to a funny thread. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 28, 11:35 [Backboard]
