    Ohtani in Ohtrouble.

    If I were a betting man, that'd be my guess.

    Ohtani in Ohtrouble.

    Yeah, guess not much you can do if he cops to the gambling and stealing the funds. Guess we'll see if Ohtani decides to press charges or not.

    Ohtani in Ohtrouble.

    Though not proven yet, it sure does smell like they're using the interpreter as a fall guy. I mean, does that even sound plausible, that an interpreter can make such huge bets in the first place, and then pay off the debt by stealing almost $5mm from Ohtani?

    Ohtani in Ohtrouble.

    It has also been reported though that no bets were placed on baseball games. Mostly soccer games.

    Per ESPN, Steelers are trading a 6th round pick for Fields.

    What you're hoping for is that RW finds that fountain of youth for just 1 more year, and that you find lightning in a bottle in Fields. The odds of both happening are pretty much 0. The odds of even one happening is low.

    The Steelers just traded Pickett to the Eagles.

    Whaa??? They've been terrible recently under Colbert!!! Watt of course was a great pick, but other than him you have a bunch of stiffs. 2022 - Pickett 2021 - Harris 2019 - Bush 2018 - Edmunds 2017 - Watt 2016 - Burns 2015 - Dupree

    Masters Of The Air

    The Swedes make some awesome gear: the Gripen, the Archer self-propelled artillery, the CV90 IFV. If they had a larger manufacturing base, they could be one of the top producers of arms, like South Korea is trending to be. Back to the OP though, I've had a lot of problems with MofA, mostly that...

    Masters Of The Air

    Also "All Quiet on the Western Front" streaming on Netflix. Seeing how they repurposed uniforms was horrifying. I can't comprehend the sheer number of deaths. In the movie, a German general casually mentions 40,000 dead in one week.

    Masters Of The Air

    Holy crap, imagine being the bombardier flying the whole mission with that view (both good and bad)!

    OT: U.S. Steal Bought.

    So with the recently revealed systemic production problems with the 737 MAX and the Australian Dreamliner incident, do you feel safe flying in a Boeing plane?

    Nick Singleton puts up insane #

    Kinda OT, but Franklin really needs to get on the PR horse about their new facilities. Other programs have long form vids on YT showing off their weight room, etc. He needs to do the same. Like what happened to the old weight room?

    Masters Of The Air

    Generation Kill was/is a great series. I think what separates BoB/GK from MoA is that there is a lack of internal tension in MoA. In BoB, there was the conflict/tension with Sobel and then Dike, and in GK there was the tension with Captain America and his ilk. In MoA there is an obvious tension...

    Masters Of The Air

    In the episode, the Mustangs made the B17s look like they were standing still, so I can't imagine what the ME262s would've looked like flying through the formations. They must've been just a blur. Also can't imagine what the airmen must've gone through just to climb into their planes thinking...

    Masters Of The Air

    Same here. I was hoping/expecting more of the story to be about how the missions were planned at a strategic and tactical level. How/who decided which groups took part in which missions? What was the pace of flying? What was the effect on the crews? What kind of training did the gunners get in...

    Masters Of The Air

    Spoilers ahead.... So having watched Part 4, I'm sad to say that Masters of the Air hasn't gotten much better. I mean they're stuck in Africa and all they show is them posing in front of their B17 on sand? The part about downed crew being brought back to England by the underground had great...

    Masters Of The Air

    Just finished episode 2... disappointing. All the characters are just incredibly superficial. I wish the whole episode was dedicated to the grounds crew, instead we get a line about how important they are and a scene where they're connecting to kids, I guess to show how mature 19 year olds had...

    Masters Of The Air

    The visuals are amazing: landing the B17 in Greenland, gunners shooting at fighters that were just a blur, just seeing the layout of the inside of the "Fort." The story, characters, casting OTOH, just ok.

    Masters Of The Air

    I've rewatched Band of Brothers around 10 times since it came out in 2001. Never gets old. I've watched The Pacific twice. It's good but not nearly on the level of BofB, which I think is the best tv series ever. Have high hopes for Masters of the Air. Part of the reason BofB was so good is that...

    Tomlin the Moron.

    I have no allusions of a Super Bowl run, but with a 10-7 record, making or not making the playoffs where I'm pretty sure Tomlin loses (Watt's injury being one of many), won't have a huge impact on drafting position, maybe from 16 to 20? I'm especially interested in how Rudolph does in a playoff...
