  - if you punt from behind the LOS to in front of it, it's considered a recovered punt and resets to 1st down. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 14:54 4
    - Only punter and those behind at time of punt are eligible to recover. Other than opposing team, obviously. -- nm - VMan Oct 28, 15:06 3
      - this feels like something that gets revised in the offseason. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 15:24 2

- The Kurgan is the big casting they need to nail -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Oct 28, 12:12 4
  - David Harbour is 6'3 (same as Clancy Brown) and he's brawny enough to actually seem like he'd be a threat to Cavill. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 13:48 1
    - Could work, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 13:50
  - Do they, though? Clancy Brown is *right there*. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 12:21 1

UAW and Stellantis reportedly have a tentative deal, which means Detroit will have settled with its striking union faster than the studios and SAG -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 10:44 9

    - networks would have had a full season of shows if they’d made a deal with WGA in May -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 11:20 5
      - And given no one's really watching network anyhow -- nothing of value was lost. To compare this to car manufacturers is *vastly* overestimating - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:22 4
        
        did I miss the part where networks stopped actually airing shows for ad money? -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 11:23 3
        
        They replaced it all with cheaper reality shows. They ain't suffering too badly. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:26 2
        
        Those reality shows technically have writers though, so you at least need WGA for them. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 11:37
        
        they’re putting all their expensive streaming shows on network for free because their cheap unscripted junk is such a viable substitute -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 28, 11:29
Episode 6 of Trillion Game is probably my favorite so far (sp) - prayformojo 🐵 Oct 28, 10:41 3

    - That's called an opportunity! - Mop🧹 Oct 28, 11:00

  - It’s one of those games that I would play if like horror games, but I don’t. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 28, 10:02
  - I just *I mean like 5 minutes ago* realized this is a video game. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 10:02 1
    - Tim calls it Jump Scare: The Movie, which is perfect. It was also Jump Scare: The Video Game. -- nm - David Oct 28, 10:05
