OT: 58th Obsequious Banter Thread - Something Something Leier

[LegionOfDoom91]

If Calipari comes out unscathed, it's only because an assistant jumped on the grenade or they just can't prove it this time. The one I really wonder about is Kansas. They never get mentioned, but I just don't see how you can stay on top that long if you're clean when it's as systemic as we've all known it is for years.

I think pretty much any team that has signed a one & done caliber of recruit since 2015 has to be sweating right now.

I saw on another site a kid from Reading that went to Miami is going to be involved in this.

Is there any way to reduce the number of ads? They used to be pretty minimal when signed in on mobile, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore?

 

[Flyerfan4life]

if you figure it out let me know aswell plz.

Wonder if anything comes out with Nike or Under Armour with funneling money. Wouldn't surprise me. Theres a good article on ESPN about the inside story of this

 

[Hurricane28]

Also, Westworld is a phenomenal show, you really have to pay attention, but the season finale my mind was completely blown. Cannot wait for season 2.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

It really had a slow build, but the last two episodes were pretty damn good.

I know most people aren't into it, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming fall anime season .

I just can't get over how one of the main characters in Westworld is a McPoyle twin from Always Sunny

Haha seriously..talk about outside-the-box casting. The last time I had even seen him prior to Always Sunny was in that Jason Biggs-Mena Suvari movie Loser.

West World was really good. Sadly I dont know when I can watch season 2. Watched season 1 when PSVue gave us 2 months of HBO

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

its weird when the comic actors cross over for me sometimes. Craig Robinson is on Mr. Robot and he is has turned out to be a major dick on that show.

He was in House of Cards for a hot minute too, right? I couldn't get over that also.

Does anyone know when we can watch the second season even?

I guess they came out and said Spring 2018.

I really dont know. I got behind on my DVR on Gotham season 3 and some of them disappeared and had to wait until last week to watch the last half dozen episodes on amazon. All caught up with that including the season 4 premier

 

[Hurricane28]

I forgot he was in House of Cards! And yeah I think spring or summer 2018, if GoT isn't ready for summer 2018 I can see Westworld taking its spot on sunday nights in the summer

Honestly, he's really good at it. "YOU WILL CALL HER!"

I can't wait for the new season next month. Such a great f***ing show.

As someone who has and continues to study philosophy of mind, futurism, transhumanism, the singularity, et cetera, I seek out these shows. I thought it was pretty good, not great, with potential. One bias I particularly dislike is carbocentrism (as applied to both robots and aliens) in regards to the ability to have consciousness or experience qualia (pain, Gestalt items) or have will (which I consider better defined as 'having the ability to' as I agree with compatibilism). This show drops skepticism all over the carbocentric assumption and raises some ethical concerns, so I clamor onto that. The better mainstream feature on these items is Ex Machina, which is friggen entertaining. Made me really enjoy Oscar Isaac as an actor as well.

 

[Flyotes]

The problem with Mr. Robot is that it is, more or less, the truth.

Nike is involved. They had a place of their’s raided by the FBI the other day.

Uh, I understood about sixteen words during this post.

My addiction lately has been Rick and Morty. That show is way, way better than I expected. Easily one of my favorite animated shows ever already.

I haven't watched the new season yet, but yeah, it is fantastic. It's one of those like "Arrested Development," where you can go back and catch a bunch of things you missed the first time through.

The first episode of the new season is great.


You definitely need to see the pickle episode.

This past Sunday's episode is absolutely stellar and really helps flesh out Beth.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I think I've missed the last couple episodes. Haven't had a chance to catch up yet.

Rick Potion #9 is such an amazing episode, especially for a first season of a show. And it makes me randomly remember that their "family" is not their original one

Wasn't it because one of the founders of one of those youth basketball leagues worked for Nike? It wasn't a real direct link, but they are probably shitting their pants right now.
