Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Houston is greater than Dallas?)

@Ketchum How does the saying go Dallas tears couldn't taste any sweeter or something like that? It's the little things. It's interesting how many irrational upset Dallas fans out there after losing one game and to most a pretty meaningless game. I guess Eagle fans have a knack to get under the skin of Dallas fans. Fly, Eagles Fly...on to victory...FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

Note: I'm about to get flamed by all those Dallas fans.

"Well done, Jason Garrett. The player personnel was probably used as well as it could be on Sunday. The team’s most important assets were protected."
I couldn't have cared less about Sunday. Was glad to see Philly give up some draft positioning.
 
Excellent write up. Covered a ton.

I saw an article today where Nunes criticized Rouseys trainer. MMA needs Rousey and they let her blow up.

Your movie list is void until you see Lion and then let's see your update.

Happy New Years.

Anything new for OB in 2017?
You were 2nd and 7th. Not bad.
 
Game of Thrones filming delayed because all episodes occur in Winter in Westeros. Also resulted in only 7 episodes being written for this season which might not air until early summer (according to some GOT blogs).
 
"… Tyreek Hill is woman-beater. He is also a difference-making superstar in the NFL right now. If New England doesn’t make the Super Bowl, I get the sense that he could be a big reasonwhy."

Did you mean this? Maybe world beater? Sounds like irresponsible choice of words unless I missed a big story.

You lost me when you had The Force Awakens in the two spot and Rogue One in the five spot. My rankings...

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Rogue One
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Revenge of the Sith
6. Phantom Menace (Darth Maul)
7. Attack of the Clones

The Mariah meltdown was glorious! I can't stand her as she is a diva who treats people like crap. I thoroughly enjoyed watching her meltdown live on stage. It's even better now that Dick Clark Productions might sue her for slander when she blamed them for her meltdown.

Really looking forward to Herman finishing out the coaching staff.
No TFA?
 
How far? I mean... it's a solid 7.0-7.5 flick.
I don't know how you have The Force Awakens over Star Wars.

I mean, its the exact same film with worse acting and a laughable, emotional villain.

Got kicked out of OkSt for assaulting his pregnant GF.

I do not know best position for Fowler to play---he does not look like an inside LB to me. Hope Coach Herman can find a way for him to excel.
Rushing the QB is what he seams the most natural at

"For the record, I am a Shaka Smart guy. I think he’s a coaching star and while there’s no question that he’s going through a wretched season, my expectations for him at Texas are still incredibly high.

Also, I fully acknowledge that there are some difficult circumstances in play that helped create the disaster that it is this season."

I assume you are referring to the election results with this last comment?
For your sake, the news is good. There are a growing number of seats on the Shaka for President train!.

The guy caught lightning in a bottle in a lower tier conference where you have 4 tough games a year and parlayed that into a multimillion dollar fraud on UT. The University should sue him (and CS) for failure to meet their contract minimum standards. If only Joe Jamail were still with us. He would win those cases.
 
I haven't seen that movie, but from what I've seen, she's a bit of a longshot.
Yeah - lots of great supporting actress roles this year. She was on screen for only a few minutes anyway. Just struck me as great work.

Be interested to see what you think of that movie (don't take your wife BTW - hard watch for women), but I have a high opinion of Tom Ford's directorial style.
 
I have as much of a problem with Hayden Christensen as I do Jar Jar Binks.

That casting choice baffles me. He may be the worst cast character in movie history, considering the importance and gravity of the character being cast.

Who chose him? Was there even any sort of competition? Because I have furniture with more acting chops and range than he does. He alone makes the 3 prequel movies mostly unwatchable for me, moreso (almost?) even than JarJar and his species of dumbasses.

So to sum up, I'd like to meet the casting director for the prequels and kick him in the crotch with my boot.
 
Why do most people consider The empire strikes back to be the greatest Star Wars movie? What about this movie makes it the best?
 
- Glad you changed your avatar. Sho'nuff is a bad ass.

- Toneil Carter is one of "Herman's guys". Every RB should be concerned.

- I'm with you on Ehlinger. If Ehlinger can stay healthy, he should be in the mix to start.

- I voiced my opinion about the basketball program during our last podcast. There's no excuse for not having a good PG, or the lack of effort we see at times.

- Washington has the same problem Chicago had. Jay Cutler is not that good, but he's better than the free agent options. Cousins isn't elite, but you would take him over most free agents.

- I told several people before the fight that Rousey reminded me of Mike Tyson. The moment Buster Douglas proved Mike was not invincible, Iron Mike was never the same. Can't think of a real competitor who loses a fight and is comfortable waiting over a year to get back in the ring. Real competitors want an immediate rematch. She fought with the hope of using the UFC to promote her other business interests, but her heart wasn't in it anymore.

- Props to Drake for scratching off another celebrity on his bucket list. He is enjoying fame the right way.
 
Timing is everything. Texas got caught up in Tom Herman frenzy and now Chip Kelly is officially on the market. Oregon is finding out how good he really was. Would have Texas in playoffs in two years.

First off I forgot the weekend ended so this was a wonderful way to enjoy the morning constitutional. However my contention with Smart, and I was just recently defending him saying another year was necessary, I am rethinking that given his recent comments about the election. And it's not about side it's about giving young men excuses for giving up. That seems to be the excact opposite of how I want my son raised. But that's just my opinion however it may be time to move on in just that regard. Second the Texans could actually back its way to AFC champ game, then anything can happen right.lol They are a joke and I hate watching but this could actually happen and Still fire their head coach.

Sadly, this ^^^^ But, Herman's our guy now, so let's get behind him and hope only for his success \m/
 
Empire third, huh?

Empire is a great movie. The top four on my list are all great films, and the remaining ones are varying degrees of suck. For me, Empire lacks the fun factor that propels Rogue One and A New Hope to the top of the heap. Those are swashbuckling affairs that don't get bogged down by Jedi mythology. There's an inverse relationship between the quality of the Star Wars movie and how deeply it goes into that stupid mysticism.
 
… The gap between DeShaun Watson and Jalen Hurts is as wide as the difference between the Alabama and Clemson defenses … maybe wider.

Wait, what?!

However great you think Alabama's defense is, Clemson's defense lives in the same neighborhood and has shown that all season. Its defensive front compares to Alabama's. Meanwhile, DeShaun Watson and Jalen Hurts don't belong in the same discussion.

We judge others by the single worse thing we know about them. We judge ourselves by our own good intentions.

Chip Kelly would never be hired so it's completely pointless to talk about. The guy would also be about the biggest fish out of water in Austin as one could be. He even wore out his welcome mat some at Oregon because he just didn't want to deal with donors. Even knight. No one can survive in Austin without knowing how to play all the sides.

Alabama has an all-time great defense, Clemson's is very good.

What kind of record would he have had if he had not been cheating the last 3 years he was there?
 
It was not a defense of the guy.
It was a comment directly in response to Hill.

I get what you're saying, but there are actions in life that can be so terrible that they can deservedly define you. I would contend that beating on a pregnant woman might not be murder, but it's up there on the terrible actions scale.

It doesn't have to define him forever, but he's got a lot of work to do.
