I'm back! Named @MiamiDolphins columnist for @SunSentinel today, replacing my man @OmarKelly. Be working w/@DavidFurones_ on my 3rd Fins stint after working w/@alexmarvez (2000-02), Omar (2012-18) & at The Athletic (2018-20). Start in about 2 weeks!!
No interest. But Full Metal Jacket is an all-time fave. So many great, shocking, jaw-dropping lines & scenes that I can't/won't repeat here. But one that really defines the movie to me is "You just don't lead 'em so much."
Well Saving Private Ryan will wake you back up.
I'd be mildly shocked if they return after back-to-back losing seasons, especially after Ross, in his statement saying Grier & McD would return for 2025, said he wants to build a team "that competes for championships."
That’s exactly what’s gonna happen, 8-9 and he’s gonna make us suffer yet another season with Grier and McD
That's all good...but what about winning a playoff game? U been to the playoffs twice in the last 3 yrs. To me, simply making the playoffs isn't much of an accomplishment any longer
We are going to play offs Bet on it Ramsey leaving was a blessing Grier saved us with minkah steal Then we get Waller for smith and jones and Hilton finally secondary now is solid and safety room is much better This defense is better !!
Prefer a documentary for story telling. Recently saw "Facing Ali" which I thought was good. I think it's 15-16 yrs old but I just got around to watching it & liked it. Does that count?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Than appreciate "a great story "?? How is that possible? You need to get off the beat, get out there and rediscover your love for storytelling. ✊🏻😂
Run game needs power element as well as something to make 8th man drop into box. Neither of those results from 20+ carries for Achane. Unsure who is RB2 or why at this pt. Or how they'll use Achane. But run game must earn respect & put fear into defense
@chrisperk Can Achane be a 20+ carry back or do you see this offense being at its best if Wright develops into the lead back role and Achane can be a 15 touch change of pace and 3rd down back?
We don't know what Ross is thinking
If this is true just please kill us all 😂😂😂
I've seen Rocky...things aren't that dire
Tell me you’ve seen Rocky or I’m unfollowing as well as blocking.
Sadly, that's not enough. I'd rather laugh than appreciate great acting or a great story. It's an unfortunate set of circumstances when it comes to me & movies
Watch it just to appreciate how brilliant Morgan Freeman is
True
Welllllll, technically, but... no. The pieces that all needed to fall into place that final week were never going to (all) happen.
I'm intrigued by it. But I know myself. I'll probably never watch it. It's on the list tho
12 angry men is watching guys talk for 2 hours in a room. If you’re ever gonna skip one, that’d be it.
🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like when my kids tell me they don’t like green beans but they’ve never tried them.
OK, maybe it goes on the list. But to show u what ur dealing with cinematically, consider I once feel asleep during Platoon
As someone who makes their living in Hollywood you really should watch Shawshank. It’s a true classic. You won’t regret it.
I hear u. But none of us know what Steve Ross is thinking. He might think 8-9 this yr shows optimism for, say, 11-6 in 2026
Part of it is though that the pressure is on to win now this coach and GM have backed themselves into a corner with no recourse except to go guns a blazing. I think they’re in trouble unfortunately.
If ur out of playoff contention in, say, mid-Dec, it's a pretty bad yr and I don't see things going that bad for the Fins. They were in it last yr until the final week
And I would argue that that is completely unrealistic given the absence of any depth especially at CB and the two lines.
Stop the hate...I'm proud of that personal cinematic accomplishment 🤣
And Jaws is 50 years old, by the way. Not like it was made in the 90s or something.
Just doesn't appeal to me
Wait what???? You have never seen Shawshank? C'mon Perk! And you are drawing a line in the sand? I need to know why
Another of my all-time faves!! Like gangster-type movies. "Funny how?!" is one of the great all time movie scenes!! Absolutely chilling mood change. Been told it was an ad lib. Don't know if that's true
Have you seen Goodfellas?
