      - Nathan Drake is like Indiana Jones meets the The Witcher. Something like that. It's a video game. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 14:00 2
        
        (Originally it was going to be Nathan Fillion in the movie, but it's been too long and now it's Holland for some reason) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 14:00 1
        
        Another option was Mark Wahlberg, but he aged out - but is still in the movie playing the mentor character -- nm - Roger More Jan 13, 14:51
  - Like to see Hugh Jackman get offered it again—Tom Holland would be interesting in a younger/Year 1 type of Bond -- nm - Flavorize Jan 13, 13:45

Houston Texans fire coach David Culley after just one season -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 12:53 5

  - Yep, bad organization--Texans are saying they told him he could stay, if he cleaned house on the offensive side (fire the OC) - Flavorize Jan 13, 13:21 1
    - Fire the OC…who won 4 games with Davis Mills as QB. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 13:26
- "Culley's firing leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin as the NFL's only current Black head coach." -- nm - The Allfather Jan 13, 12:59 1
