Week 2 Podcast Review!

MOVIES: Andy, there’s a reason that the sequel to 28 Years Later is called “The Bone Temple.”

Eli, “The Roses” was a miserable experience but no surprise that a guy who watched Happy Gilmore 2 enjoyed it. “The Roses” currently sits as my 31st ranked film, just below “Fight or Flight” which would be a better film for Andy to watch with Mark.

Back to Andy, I highly recommend avoiding “Marriage Story” - that Scarlett Johansson/Adam Driver movie.

AWARDS: I’m not sure about The Cottonmouth Captain Obvious King of the Week award. Highest scoring player? Yawn. We need more cutting edge analysis than that. I’m sure Rahul’s math-obsessed clone appreciates something so cut and dry but I think the rest of the league deserves more. But at least we got some real emotion when Eli stepped on Andy’s donut award! It’s nice to hear that Andy actually cares! Andy, imagine that back and forth lasting two hours and that’s what “Marriage Story” is like.

BLOG: RE: the lack of an email about The Gentleman’s blog, I didn’t want to spam people with emails so a once-a-week reminder on the ESPN page that the blog still exists is what I’m going with. Besides the email I sent about this post, of course.

BAD ROSTER MOVES: Despite the praise for the Dandyelions, I was still second in Points on the Pine with JK Dobbins ouplaying Kenneth Walker and Caleb Williams outscoring Kyler Murray. Now I have another decision with JK and just K. The Steelers are supposed to have the best defensive line in the NFL but got eaten up by the Jets (but they have a great offensive line which Seattle does not.)

FACTOID: Madison Beer, the future Mrs. Justin Herbert, is a Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling recording artist. I had to Google that; I was thinking of Addison Rae when I first heard the hot goss about the two.

CANCELLED: I’m down with never speaking the name of the league’s Voldermort and will refrain from using his name again in the blog.

AI RANT: AI is only as good as what it is trained on and it seems like Fantasy Football AI was trained on the output by the idiotic pundits and “experts”. Also, when AI is truly conscious, it will probably not want to waste any time on the trivial randomness that is fantasy football.
Also also, AI is much like CGI - people complain that CGI hasn’t gotten better since something like Jurassic Park but the problem is that special effects are now rushed and often understaffed. The fact that so many AI platforms were released despite the fact that nobody can figure out how to stop their AI from hallucinating isn’t a knock on AI, it’s a knock on the humans who are running the companies in charge of it. There’s an AI race and people want to get their shit out first, even if it’s flawed.

SPACE: The NASA evidence supports my theory that there has been, at varying points in time, life on most planets in our solar system. Life begins on a planet, but then that planet is destroyed by said life, and then eons later, life begins again on the next closest planet to the Sun.

MISSED PUN: If the steakhouse is MAGA, I’d say all Bavettes are off.

PUNISHMENT: I’ll reiterate my idea that the worst team in the league has to run the draft board.

HISTORY: I was going to invite Eli to trivia on Tuesday but if he thinks that the London Bridge trivia is news, I’m second guessing that invite. Anybody else down for some trivia next Tuesday at Kiez Küche & Beer Garden?
