  - It's just a strange approach for a news organization to take since it's been an open secret for 10+ years. -- nm - David Nov 29, 07:15 10
    - what do all you people read or watch that you know this "open secret" stuff? I swear, I thought he was a pretty good dude. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 07:46 8
      - I think his dickishness with other female hosts (especially the thing with Ann Curry) was fairly forthcoming. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 29, 07:57 2
        
        But there's also the part where Ann Curry just sucked at the job. So when ratings are going down and he pushes to get her out is that being a dick or - pmb Nov 29, 08:05
        
        see, I know nothing about that either. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 07:58

        Bery's source was a Canadian newspaper during the Olympics, but they pulled the story under duress. - David Nov 29, 08:01 2
        
        I remember seeing these stories, but they were always Enquirer type stories so I took them with a grain of salt. Not the part that he was an ass who - pmb Nov 29, 08:04
        
        interesting. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:01
    - Saying anything else seems like it would open them up to legal liability, especially if there's nothing in his personnel file. -- nm - Max Nov 29, 07:19
- I think this means a formal complaint that has gone through a particular procedure. I'm assuming other complaints didn't get that far. So they're - mara Nov 29, 07:03

    - Plus the IP is already gone. It's not like they'll wake up tomorrow and figure this out. - spamlet Nov 29, 06:03
- It's almost as if they are telling people what they want to hear and then not actually doing it. -- nm - volnelk Nov 29, 05:36 1
  - gee, ya think? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 06:15
Full Avengers trailer -- (link) - budice Nov 29, 05:26 38

  - First. Trailer. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 07:18 11
    - I immediately went to Two Towers mentally with that trailer. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 07:46 8
      - I wonder if they used the same software that LOTR did for the big battles. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 07:55 1
        
        looked like it at first glance. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 07:56
      - This is just Marvel saying, "Hey, guess what, we are getting the *entire* band together. See you in May." - Spawn Nov 29, 07:49 5
        
        see, to me, it is not one specific thing that DC / WB is doing that is the problem.... - groiny Nov 29, 07:55 3
        
        There is an exchange is Dark Knight that encapsulates a WB problem. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:03
        
        I think as a non comic book person, I don't care so much that DC is less than Marvel. Its like Pepsi v Coke. We all know Coke is always going to be - Epiphany Nov 29, 08:03 1
        
        WB/DC isn't Pepsi, it's RC Cola. -- (edited) - TWuG, neck model Nov 29, 08:35
        
        heh to the IM -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 07:50
    - Yep - eag Nov 29, 07:30
    - My first trailer story is Pirates of the Caribbean: Black Pearl. I hated it so much didn't want to see the movie. Its now the top of my list -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 07:28
  - He doesn't sound the same as he did before. Less gravely. -- nm - Krusty Nov 29, 06:18 2
    - Exactly. Just like Ultron. The dude is huge. He shouldn't have a normal speaking voice. -- nm - volnelk Nov 29, 06:21 1
      - Yup. He sounded right the last time we saw him but it was off this time and too smooth and normal sounding. -- nm - Krusty Nov 29, 06:26
  - Yeah, same here.. - Marlowe Nov 29, 05:57 6
    - I get that it's a call back to Nick Fury putting the group together, I'm just whelmed by the big team battle. -- nm - volnelk Nov 29, 06:14 5
      - I think I'm just fatigued... - Marlowe Nov 29, 06:22 1
        
        I think the thing that's going to save this and Avengers 4 in that regard is....spoilers. - volnelk Nov 29, 06:25
      - I heard they used zero CGI for it. - Shaun Nov 29, 06:19 2
        
        Spoilers. - volnelk Nov 29, 06:23 1
        
        Civil War spoils? - Shaun Nov 29, 06:26
- Possible source material spoils - budice Nov 29, 05:44
- Is there a way to make videos on twitter not look like garbage? -- nm - Guigue Nov 29, 05:29 4
  - Wait for the HD trailer to hit YT -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 05:32 2

founder steve ellis out as chipotle ceo....nm - x Nov 29, 05:22 1
- Likely overdue. -- nm - budice Nov 29, 05:23
Geno Smith is probably better than Manning anyway. Manning is the most over rated QB in modern history. -- nm - CQ Nov 29, 05:02 19
- Child please -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 05:40
- he's properly rated as a good/very good QB with 2 rings who shouldn't make the HOF. -- nm* - Beaker Nov 29, 05:34
- Manning is overrated; Geno Smith is not better than him. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 05:16 7
  - This. Manning isn't close to being his brother but he's significantly better than Geno and many of the guys playing QB in the league. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 29, 06:02
  - It's like McAdoo had a Brewster's Millions type bet with someone to see how fast he could lose games and lose the team's trust in him. -- nm - Inigo Nov 29, 05:19 4
    - I'm not even an Eli fan, but this is absurd. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 05:45 2
      - agreed (and with Diva below). -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 06:34
      - Agreed. I'm annoyed with the move and I don't care a lick for the Giants. -- nm - Krusty Nov 29, 06:04
    - He thought the Bills benching Tyrod was awesome and was all like, 'Hold my beer...'. -- nm - Diva Nov 29, 05:43
  - yeah, heh. -- nm - CQ Nov 29, 05:17
- Based on history, pretty much everyone knows not true. Man has SB wins. But a 2-9 record kinda puts one in full evaluation mode. Draft pick -- nm - budice Nov 29, 05:04 8
  - It's a team game. While the QB is the most integral part of a team, the Giants didn't win their SBs through their offense imo. Super Bowl wins do not - CQ Nov 29, 05:07 7
    - Hot takes are the worst takes. -- nm - David Nov 29, 06:43
    - I wouldn't call it luck. He was aces during those two Super Bowl runs. - Inigo Nov 29, 05:16 4
      - The defense was aces during those 2 runs. They were insane. -- nm - CQ Nov 29, 05:21 3
        
        This is a no win argument for you... -- nm - J Nov 29, 05:39
        
        His stat line for those two runs: 15 TDs, 2073 yds, 2 INTs, 4 fourth qtr comebacks, 5 game winning drives in 8 games. - Inigo Nov 29, 05:28 1
        
        That's awful. Just awful. - ceeque Nov 29, 06:58
    - He's an average QB over his career who got lucky as shit twice. -- nm - CQ Nov 29, 05:08
Brief look at the new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War -- (link) - budice Nov 29, 04:55 1
