Heard you were taking requests. Can you do Parksborn with 7.) Pining ?

Hi, sorry for taking so long on this! So here goes!

Changing Sides

“Peter. Peter. Are you… Peter!” Ned yells, turning to see at what Peter’s staring. “Oh not again. Peter!” He waves his hands in front of his friend’s face, causing Peter to start. “Come on. You know I support you in your quest to figure out your sexual identity, but seriously? Harry Osborn?”

“That’s Harry Osborn?” Peter wants to cry. Standing fifteen feet away is the most beautiful boy he has ever seen, and it turns out that the boy's father hates Tony Stark. Just. His. Luck. “Why does he have to be Harry Osborn?”

Ned shakes his head, “I think you’re cursed. Come on, we have to get to English class before Mr. Ainsley can give us detention.”

If you ask Peter what his English class was about, he wouldn’t be able to tell you because the only thing in his mind was the pretty face of a boy he could never love.

++++++

Harry saw the boy staring at him, and at first, he thought he had had something on his face. That kid was pretty cute, but Harry knows he can’t act on it. His father would never allow him to date a boy. Maybe they could just be friends…

Harry sees the boy again during lunch hour. It seems as if he is doing his best to not look in Harry’s direction. He nudges his best friend, Stella, “Hey, who's that?”

Stella’s long braids hit him in the face as she turns in the direction Harry motioned, “Peter Parker. Ultimate nerd. You’d like him. Why?”

“Dunno. Just wondering.”

Stella chomps on the end of her pen, eyeing him thoughtfully, “I think he’s adorable, too. It’s ok.” She grins.

“Stella. You can’t say that…” Harry hisses, running a hand through his dark hair. “You don’t know how much my father spies on me.”

“Right. Sorry,” Stella motions with her hand. “So what’s going on Saturday?”

“Nothing that I know of. Why?”

She hands him her phone, which shows an invitation to a party at Matthew’s. “You want to hit this up at some point tonight?”

“Sounds good to me.” Maybe it will take his mind off of that adorable brunet.

Harry likes Stella. They’re great friends. He knows his father approves of her as well and has made pointed hints towards him about dating her. Stella, however, does not date. She wants no attachments that are closer then friends, and she’s around for a good time. Feelings are icky to her, and he’s ok with that.

Stella agrees to help him find a cute girl to make out with so that he can take his mind off of the Parker boy. The duo arrive at Matthew’s party, and Stella leaves him for a few minutes to scan the scene. “I’m going to find you a few to choose from.” She winks.

Harry sticks his hands in the pockets of his skinny jeans and scans the party. It’s nothing special, just your average high school party. Suddenly the DJ stops the music. “Hey look who’s just arrived. It’s Penis Parker!” The kid says. “I’m surprised you dared to show your face at a party after your last fiasco.” Everyone seems to turn towards the door.

Spinning quickly to face the door, Harry sees that Peter had, in fact, just came in with his friend. Parker briefly meets his gaze, but quickly hangs his head in embarrassment. His friend whispers something to him, and together they step into the crowd. The DJ still calls him out. “Really, Parker? Wow. I didn’t realize you had guts. Wait, let me call up Spiderman. Maybe he can remind us how much of a liar you are.” He starts a chant of “When I say Penis, you say" to which the crowd yells “Parker.”

Harry watches as Peter shakes his head. He’s close enough to hear the boy tell his friend. “Told you it’d be a bad idea.” Harry’s had enough. He marches up to the DJ and takes the microphone from his hand.

“Excuse me. Seriously? What did he do that’s so unforgivable?”

The DJ, Eugene Thompson if Harry’s memory serves correctly, smugly looks at him, “He told us all that he knew Spiderman. Lies.”

“And? You tell people your name is Flash, right Eugene? A little untruth now and then never hurt anyone. Cut the kid some slack, and return to your conversations or whatever.” Harry drops the mic and walks towards Peter.

++++++

Harry Osborn stood up for him! Peter can’t believe it. Everyone has stopped staring, and now Harry is walking towards him. Breathe Pete. Breathe. He tells himself.

“Hey, are you ok?” Harry asks him.

Peter stares at him. He’s so pretty. Then he realizes Harry had asked him a question. “Gah. I, uh, yes. I am fine. Thank you. I appreciate, um, you doing that.” Why can’t you talk normal?

“Hey, it’s no problem. Wanna hang out?” He directs the question towards Peter and Ned. “I’m Harry Osborn.”

“Peter Parker, and this is my best friend, Ned Leeds.” Peter inclines his head towards Ned. “You wanna?”

“Sure! It’s nice to meet you Harry.”

Harry introduces them to his friend Stella when she appears seemingly out of thin air. She tells him something quietly, and he nods. Soon after, he excuses himself, but not before exchanging numbers with promises to hang out later.

By the time May arrives to pick them up, Peter is ready to leave. He searches the party to find Harry – just to thank him for stopping Flash. He stops when he sees the boy in the corner, making out with two girls. Ah, ok. I thought he kind of liked me. Pete, your gaydar isn’t too good. He mentally groans. To avoid any suspicion, Peter walks casually around the room. He grabs Ned on his way to the door, “You ready?”

Ned turns away from the crowd in which he had inserted himself. “Yea, you find him?”

“yeah, I’m sure he doesn’t want me interrupting at the moment.” Peter angles his head minutely. Ned follows the direction and his eyes grow huge. He nods quickly and spins back to the group.

“Well, I have got to go, but it was great talking to you. Thanks, Matt, for the great party,” Ned tips his fedora and walks out after Peter. Outside, he pats Peter on the back and says, “Hey man, I’m sorry. I thought he liked you, too.”

“So, how was the party?” May asks. Ned enthusiastically replies, and Peter noncommitally agrees. He’s just hung up on a kid that he’s probably not supposed to like anyways, what with him being an intern to Stark Industries and Harry the son of Norman Osborn, president of Oscorp.

May and Ned keep up the conversation the whole way back to Ned’s house. After Ned is dropped off, Aunt May turns off the radio, looks at Peter, and asks, “Ok, who’s the boy?”

“what do you mean…?” May laughs at Peter’s innocent expression.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Peter,” She pats his arm. “I know the Parker look of pining. It’s written all over your face.”

Peter turns to face her, “Ok, so, did you ever like a guy, but he’s clearly not into you?”

“How do you know he’s clearly not into you?” May narrows her eyes.

“Well, I mean, he had his tongue down some girl’s throat,” Peter shrugs. “He’s really good-looking, though, and nice. I just wish…” He trails off. “Also, it’s probably for the best. Mr. Stark probably wouldn’t approve.”

May barks out a startled laugh, “And why would you worry about who Tony Stark approves of? You’ve seen all the people he’s dated.”

“This guy is Norman Osborn’s son…”

“Well,” May looks at him…. Until the cars behind her start honking because the light is green. “ Well, if you like him, clearly he’s nothing like his father. If Tony disapproves, I’ll talk to him.”

Peter shakes his head, “It doesn’t really matter because he doesn’t like me like that.”

May only smiles and turns the radio back on.

++++++

“Sir, your father would like to see you,” Aidy, a maid, tells Harry when he returns home from the party.

Harry sighs, but makes his way to Norman’s study. “Hello Father.”

“Harrison, take a seat,” Father gestures at a chair with his glass of Scotch. “I need to talk to you about your friends. Here, take some.” He pours Harry a finger of amber liquid.

“What’s wrong with Stella? I thought you liked her,” Harry queries.

“No, no, I’m talking about that Parker kid that you stood up for tonight. You don’t like him, do you?”

Harry wishes he had never told his father about his sexuality, although he’s pretty sure Norman would find out from at least one of his many spies. Here comes another “Real men aren’t gay” speech. “No, Father.” Harry lies.

“Well, my sources tell me the kid came out privately to a few of his close friends and family. Maybe we can use that to our advantage. He clearly likes you.” Father shows him a picture of Peter staring off to the side. Harry knows he’s looking at him.

“But you said…”

“Quiet, boy. There’s no harm in a little pretending, if needs be. Look, don’t even go that far if you have to, but word is that Tony Stark is going to release something that will change this industry forever. I just need to know ahead of time. Keep him from monopolizing,” Norman can see his son getting uncomfortable. “And, I will accept you as my son.”

Harry’s eyes shoot up. He had thought he would never get his father’s approval for anything like this. “Ok Father. I will try.”

“Harrison. Don’t fail me.” Norman throws back the rest of his Scotch before gesturing towards the door.

Harry nods and whips out his phone. Hey, nix that “find me a girlfriend” plan. He knows Stella is on the look for some pretty girl who will knock his socks off.

Ok… curious to know why. Explain at lunch tomoro? Stella replies. Harry texts her back with a thumbs up. He heads off to bed with pictures of a certain brunet in his head.

Harry wakes up in the morning with a purpose. Norman actually joins him for breakfast – something his father hasn’t done since Harry’s mother died.

Stella swipes him to the side once he arrives at school. “Ok what’s going on?”

“I’m not trying to date any girls. I like Parker.”

“And your dad?” Stella gives him a look.

“He’s ok with it. So I’m not going to question.” Harry knows this is only a half truth, but he wants Stella to have plausible deniability.

Stella shoots him another look. “Sounds fishy, but whatever. I’ve been meaning to hang out with Chelle for a while now.”

Harry doesn’t know who Chelle is, but he doesn’t care. Stella can have other friends. “Ok cool! Meet for lunch?” Stella fist pumps him and heads to her locker.

All throughout the morning, Harry plans how he will approach Peter. When lunch break comes, he gets in the cafeteria line with Stella, but his eyes are roving the tables. When he finds Peter's, he takes his tray over and asks, “Mind if I sit here?”

He feels giddy when he sees Peter’s eyes widen, “Um yeah! I mean, no, no, I don’t mind.” He gestures helplessly at the table.

Harry takes the seat beside Peter, and Stella sits beside MJ. “Chelle! I was telling Harry I needed talk to you.” Stella tells her.

“Este. Good to see you, too.” MJ smiles at her.

Este? Chelle? Harry mouths at Stella, and she pointedly ignores him. He turns to Peter, “So what are you doing tonight?”

“I have the Stark internship I gotta go to,” Peter replies.

They sit there talking, and Harry knows he really likes Peter.

++++++

A few weeks go past, and Peter has been spending a lot of time with Harry. He knows he has a huge crush on the Osborn, and he feels slightly guilty about it. He thinks he should tell Tony and get his opinion.

To Peter’s surprise, Tony shrugs, “If you like him, then he’s nothing like his father. Why don’t you invite him and Ned to the Tower for a game night?” Peter couldn’t be happier.

The two readily agree, and once this night was a hit, Harry, Peter and Ned spend a lot of time with Tony. In fact, the only one more excited than Tony when Harry asked Peter on a date was Peter.

Harry tells Peter about his relationship with his father, and Peter tells Harry how Tony had quickly become his father figure. Peter knows Harry couldn’t care less about science, and it warms his heart when Harry asks him to explain what he’s doing with an experiment. In turn, he makes sure he listens when Harry gets excited about a new car or fashion item. Things are going great.

++++++

Harry feels like a piece of crap. He knows he should come clean to Peter. His father contacts him frequently for information. But he knows as soon as Peter and/or Tony finds out his original reason to get close to them.

He hasn’t told Norman anything, and now he doesn’t want to. Tony helped him realize that some fathers are just shitty, and he shouldn’t have to strive for their attention. Over the four months Harry has been in contact with Tony, he has been more of a father to him than Norman had ever been.

As he is debating this in his head, someone walks in his apartment. It’s Norman. “Hello?”

“It has been four months Harrison. What do you have for me?”

“Father, it’s nice to hear from you, too,” Harry scoffs. “I have changed my mind. I’m not helping you with this.”

“Harrison,” his father warns.

“I’m serious. I actually like him, Father, and I’m not going to do anything to jeopardize that.”

Norman’s laugh resounds through the room, “And what do you think that dear, innocent boy will do once he finds out the only reason you started dating him was to spy on his mentor’s company? Trust will be severed forever. Listen to me, boy, you are being stupid, and I will not let an Osborn lose all his manly qualities for love. You are sixteen, and I have decided that you will no longer live in this apartment.”

“I bought this with my trust fund.”

“I have ties to the owner. Trust me, you won’t be able to find lodging anywhere in Manhattan.” Norman smirks.

“I’m not helping you. Besides, they haven’t told me anything. Everything happening at SI doesn’t get discussed around the family dinner table. Now please leave.” Harry herds Norman towards the door. “Bye Norman.”

++++++

“I’m sorry, man. You guys were really great together. I wouldn’t want to tell you except I felt like I should.” Annamarie tells Peter. “My family lives on the same floor as Harry.”

Peter’s world feels shattered. Harry doesn’t like him. He’s using Peter to find out Stark Industries’ new product line. Norman Osborn has stooped to new lows apparently. Peter feels like everyone is looking at him. He just wants to melt into the floor. Why did he ever think someone like Harry would actually like him? Peter scoffs. And there Harry is at his locker.

“Hey, Peter,” Harry’s face lights up when Peter reaches him. “Walk you to class?”

“Thanks Harry, but you should probably get to yours. What is it, acting? You need some work on that. Also, just so you know. We’re through,” Peter pulls his history book from his locker and heads off to class.

Peter avoids Harry the rest of the day. He’s going to get his education, no matter what someone will try to do to him. Once school is out, Peter heads straight to Stark Tower. Taking one look at his face, Tony sets down his work and gives Peter his full attention. When Peter’s tearful rant is over, the billionaire pulls him into a hug, “You know, I’m usually good at reading masks, and I thought he was genuine. He’s good. He duped us all.”

++++++

“Ned, can you please help me?” Harry pleads. “I love Peter.”

Ned shakes Harry’s hand off his shoulder. “I don’t want to hear it. You knew what Peter was like, and you chose to take advantage of it. Stay away.”

Harry sags. He really screwed this up. Someone clears their throat. It’s Stella. “Seriously man? This is an all-time low.”

“Stella. Norman told me that if I manipulated Peter into handing over SI secrets, he would finally call me son. And he gave me permission to date him. You know how Norman has always said about gay men not being real men so I jumped at it because I did and still do like Peter. I didn’t think it through, obviously, because if I did, I would’ve known this would happen.”

Stella sighs, “Look, man, I’m still your friend, but I don’t want to talk about this. Why don’t we go to my house and steal my parents’ booze and get wasted?” Harry agrees.

++++++ Peter doesn’t do anything except go to school and patrol. He wants to be left alone. His family and friends follow his wishes, letting him know they are there if he needs them.

One Saturday morning, May rushes into his room. “You need to look at this.”

Harry is plastered all over social media. Peter clicks on a video, “Hey, Peter. I know you probably don’t want to hear from me, but I just want to come clean with the truth. Yes, Norman Osborn did enlist me to either be your friend or date you to try to extract information about the new rumored Stark Industries product line. I agreed because for one, I wanted to spend time with you; for two, Norman Osborn is a grade A, certified dick. He never calls me son, and he ingrained a slight homophobia in me since I was young. When he gave me permission to date you and a ‘rightful’” Harry uses finger quotes, “place in the family, I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. Then I fell in love with you. And Mr. Stark showed me that it wasn’t my fault Norman was like that, it is his own, and I’m better off without him. I want you to know that I have cut him out of my life. I am now relying on my trust fund and the hope of finding a job. I understand if you never want to talk to me again, but I just wanted you to know the truth. And I swear to you, I never found out anything, and I never reported to him.” The video cuts off.

“Thanks for showing me,” Peter whispers. “I don’t know what I am going to do.”

May takes his hand, “Peter. You don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to. You have to figure out what’s best for you. Even if you still love him, if you think you shouldn’t be with him, you don’t have to be with him. Now, I’m sure he won’t wait for you forever, but you have time.”

“Thank you May. I’ll dwell on it,” He hugs her.

++++++

Three weeks have gone by, and Harry hasn’t heard from Peter or his friends. He got an internship at Van Dyne fashion, and he’s getting by.

Harry is leaving school to head toward his new job when Peter stops him. “Hey can we talk?” Peter asks him.

“Yea sure!” Harry doesn’t know why Peter would want to talk to him, but he’s willing to hope.

“So, I saw your video, and I gave myself time to think it over. Um, do you still want to be with me?”

Harry smiles. “More than anything.”

“I am willing to try again, but it might take me a while to trust you completely. And I don’t want to talk about work around you for a while.”

“I understand,” Harry nods. “I screwed up. Can I ask – what does Tony have to think about all this?”

“Believe it or not, he defended you a little bit,” Peter nudges him. “He said he may have done the same thing, were he in your shoes. Apparently, daddy issues are not uncommon and cause a lot of confusion in people’s lives. Are you going to Van Dynes?”

“Yea. Care to walk with me?”

A short history of Hollywood’s (ill-fated) attempts to adapt the internet

For brothers Matt and Harrison Query, a nightmare turned into a dream come true this past weekend. Not so long ago, Matt was killing time as many online denizens do, by posting on Reddit; he had taken to r/nosleep, where users share original short horror stories, to get some feedback on a new composition with the header ‘My wife and I bought a ranch in the mountains last year, and my neighbor had some interesting suggestions on how to manage our new land.’

The chilling tale sends a former Marine reacclimatizing to civilian society and his wife out to a tract of land in Idaho, only to discover that a “malevolent spirit” appears at the beginning of each season, and that they must perform bizarre rituals in order to keep it at bay. Of course, this dredges up some trauma for the veteran, and in horror movie tradition, the exorcisms of his personal demons form a parallel with the literal ones.

It sounds like a ready-to-go Blumhouse project, and Hollywood executives must have thought so as well, because Deadline reports that the pitch was the object of a hotly contested bidding war on Friday afternoon that ended with a low-seven-figure deal from Netflix. Matt will cash a fat check, and his brother Harrison (a somewhat more experienced screenwriter, though he’s never had a script produced) will adapt the story for the screen. Success! Right?

This item echoes a handful of the film industry’s past attempts to translate the viral happenings of the internet into box-office dollar signs, and foretells a difficult road ahead to full realization. The higher-ups of Tinseltown have long since woken up to the fact that there’s gold in them thar e-hills, but they’ve still had plenty of trouble extracting it.

The ur-example of the hardships inherent in making the jump from Reddit to cinemas would have to be Rome, Sweet Rome. Posted by military historian James Erwin under the username Prufrock451, the multiple-installment action-epic worked through the thought experiment of whether a single battalion of soldiers from the present day could use their superior knowledge and technology to best the entire Roman empire.

This being the year 2011, a time when America still had some lingering positive feelings about swords-and-sandals pictures from the success of 300, Warner Bros. snapped up the rights for a princely sum and hired Erwin to draw up a treatment.

Erwin purchased some of the classic screenwriting manuals from McKee as well as the Lennon/Garant brain trust, and got to work. By 2013, Warner Bros. brought in Brian Miller (then known as the pen behind the space-set found-footage horrorshow Apollo 18) to fix what the studio deemed an unusable script. Miller junked everything Erwin came up with aside from the basic premise, but even so, the script never got off the ground. The last update came in 2018, and that update was “never going to happen.”

Another case study presented itself in 2017, when a photo of Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o sitting next to one another at a fashion show three years earlier set Twitter ablaze. The image of the two stars inspired user @GRAVEYARDHOTTIE to post, “Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans [sic],” and so the wheels were set in motion.

Ava DuVernay agreed to direct and Netflix seemed interested, but the past three years have generated no updates whatsoever on the project. DuVernay has got a lot of irons in the fire, yet she never seems to mention this particular iron, leaving little cause for optimism.

It sounds an awful lot like “The Patient Who Drove Me Out of Medicine,” another selection from r/nosleep. The studio formerly known as Twentieth Century Fox had laid claim to the concept in 2018, with Ryan Reynolds attached to produce, but not a peep has been heard since. Neither advanced through casting announcement nor permanently shelved as a no-go, it now languishes in “development hell,” awaiting some possible salvation.

That doesn’t necessarily spell the end, however. The barrier-breaker would appear to be Zola, the upcoming (though in these uncertain times, who knows when) Sundance sensation based on the spellbinding yarn woven by Twitter user @ZolarMoon. When the lengthy thread appeared on the platform in 2015, the public immediately recognized the narrative potential in the wild tale of sex and crime, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t obstacles.

James Franco first called dibs on the director’s chair in 2016, but the accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against the actor-filmmaker compelled him to vacate his role. It wasn’t until 2018 that Janicza Bravo took over, and though the festival premiere was a smashing success back in January, the film still awaits the public eye.

Anyone who’s gotten a movie made will be quick to tell you what an arduous uphill battle it can be, but when working with partially-formed ideas and writers who have no professional résumé, the odds get even slimmer. It looks like the future of film may not rest with the virtual amateurs, but the question of whether they’ll have a place of their own in that future still has yet to be decided. Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you, Zola.

The post A short history of Hollywood’s (ill-fated) attempts to adapt the internet appeared first on Little White Lies.

Who was older and knew a lot more about this stuff

On the Content Stage, there's a good chat with Matt McAllester of the reborn Newsweek with Alexander Klopping of Blendle, the Dutch startup pioneering micro payments for journalism, chaired by Stephen Rae of INM. The debate over the future of the journalism business model is likely to be part of the media/tech discourse for ever more, but this is rather more optimistic in tone than the usual debate. McAllester points out that Newsweek's print edition actually makes money, while Klopping's optimism about micropayment sits infectious.

2018 NFL Playoffs: This is how the Vikings can beat the Eagles, advance to Tremendous Bowl

Similar to final week, the Eagles are dwelling underdogs within the playoffs. And identical to final week, a lot of that has to do with their quarterback, Nick Foles. However Foles exceeded expectations within the divisional spherical and performed his half in Philadelphia’s “upset” win over an Atlanta outfit that featured Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

Whereas the Vikings won’t have a franchise quarterback — a prototypical one, anyway — they are much higher in each means than the Falcons. The query is, are they ok to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on the heels of one of the thrilling playoff finishes for the reason that Patriots did that factor they did to the Falcons 12 months in the past?

The best way to Watch

Who: Vikings vs. Eagles The place: Lincoln Monetary Discipline, Philadelphia When: Sunday, Jan. 21, 6:40 p.m. ET TV: Fox

Keenum leads one of many league’s most balanced offenses

All of it begins with Case Keenum, who signed a one-year cope with the Vikings within the offseason for one purpose: to be Sam Bradford’s backup whereas Teddy Bridgewater continued his restoration from knee surgical procedure. However Bradford was injured in Week 1, Keenum took over in Week 2, and now, 4 months later, he is emerged as one of many NFL’s greatest gamers. This is not hyperbole; in 15 regular-season begins, Keenum accomplished 67.6 % of his throws with 22 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He was first in worth per play amongst all quarterbacks, in response to Soccer Outsiders’ metrics, and fourth in whole worth, behind solely Tom Brady, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees.

On Sunday, he was 25 of 40 for 318 yards, and saved his greatest for final:

Granted, that landing had as a lot to do with Marcus Williams’ curious try and sort out Stefon Diggs, however Keenum obtained the ball out precisely and on time, and destiny did the remainder.

Nevertheless it began with Keenum, and that is been a recurring theme all season. His teammates purchased in way back and now the remainder of the league, who could have missed the under-the-radar Vikings whereas different specializing in different storylines, are lastly catching up.

For the Eagles, who function the league’s No. 5 protection and are recent off holding the Falcons to 10 factors, the query is to how one can greatest fluster Keenum. There isn’t any simple reply, no “maintain him from doing this as a result of he cannot do this” recreation plan.

Think about these numbers, by way of PFF. Keenum is:

Fourth of their adjusted completion proportion, which accounts for dropped passes and different cases “that harm the quarterback’s completion proportion however do not assist present how correct they’re.”

Ninth in deep passing with a passer ranking (91.7), higher than Tom Brady;

Eighth in passer ranking (78.5) when underneath strain;

Sixth in passer ranking (109.5) when stored clear within the pocket;

Fifth in passer ranking (111.eight) on play motion and 10th with out play motion (92.eight);

Seventh in passer ranking (103.four) when throwing the ball in 2.5 seconds or much less and fourth when throwing the ball after 2.6 seconds (92.2).

And whereas Ryan had Jones and Mohamed Sanu as his two favourite targets, Keenum has Adam Thielen and Diggs, who have been collectively extra environment friendly, in response to Soccer Outsiders (Jones and Sanu ranked seventh and 18th in whole worth; Thielen and Diggs have been 11th and ninth).

Thielen is a legit No. 1 vast receiver who has a knack for the large play — this arrange the Vikings’ first comeback with just below two minutes to go:

And we noticed what Diggs, who led all receivers with six catches for 137 yards, can do. However there’s additionally tight finish Kyle Rudolph, who ranks eighth in whole worth, together with working again Jerick McKinnon, who had 421 receiving yards to associate with 520 dashing yards.

The purpose: For as nicely rounded because the Eagles are on protection — they’re seventh towards the move, third towards the run — the Vikings’ offense is loaded with weapons. Philly’s secondary has finished an exemplary job shutting down the opponent’s greatest receivers; they’re seventh within the league towards No. 1 receivers and first towards No. 2 receivers.

That would appear to spell doom for Thielen and Diggs, however this is the factor: Jones caught 9 passes for 101 yards final week, and Sanu had 50 yards on three catches. However even when the Eagles can maintain Thielen and Diggs underneath wraps, they’re much less efficient towards tight ends and working backs, which may imply huge issues for Rudolph and McKinnon.

And we have not even talked in regards to the Vikings’ working recreation, which took a success when rookie Dalvin Cook dinner suffered a torn ACL in early October. However Latavius Murray has been a pleasing shock, and at 6-feet-Three and 230 kilos, he is the kind of runner that defenses develop weary of tackling as the sport progresses.

The Cowboys’ Alfred Morris (5-10, 222 kilos) ran for 91 yards on 17 carries towards the Eagles in Week 11. And Todd Gurley (6-1, 227) ran for 96 yards on 13 carries in Week 14. And when the Cowboys returned in Week 17, this time with Ezekiel Elliott (6-Zero, 228), he rushed for 103 yards on 27 carries.

Murray is extra upright and fewer elusive than Gurley or Elliott, although not by as a lot as you would possibly initially suspect. Based on PFF, Murray ranks 14th of their elusive ranking, which measures “a runner’s success past the purpose of being helped by his blockers.” Gurley was ninth.

Both means, Murray stays a load to sort out. And the Eagles’ protection, for nearly as good as its been this season, has struggled towards bodily backs. That coupled with the general dynamism of the Vikings’ offense ought to make for a protracted afternoon on Sunday.

The Vikings’ protection can exploit you in any variety of methods

For nearly as good as Minnesota’s offense is, its protection has been higher. They’re the NFC’s greatest unit, and second within the NFL solely to the Jaguars. However in contrast to Jacksonville, which is first towards the move however simply 26th towards the run, Minnesota can also be extremely balanced — it is fourth in move protection and fifth in run protection.

It begins up entrance with defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Tom Johnson, who rank fifth and 12th in PFF’s run-stop-percentage metric. Defensive finish Everson Griffen, who led the staff with 13 sacks, ranks 12th within the league in pass-rush productiveness whereas Danielle Hunter, who mans the opposite defensive finish place, ranks 13th.

When you’re on the lookout for a weak hyperlink — and that is a relative time period with this unit — it is most likely the linebackers. Eric Kendricks has been been barely above common at center linebacker. Exterior linebacker Anthony Barr (16th) is simply common in protection, and whereas Ben Gedeon does excel as a run stopper (fourth), he comes off the sector in passing conditions.

Nonetheless, regardless of any shortcomings, on Sunday towards the Saints the Vikings’ entrance seven shut down one of many league’s most explosive offenses for the primary 30 minutes. This is Griffen being disruptive close to the road of scrimmage and Barr taking advantage of the chance — one which stored New Orleans off the scoreboard late within the second quarter.

That was Brees’ second interception of the primary half. The primary got here with the quarterback going through no strain within the pocket however underestimating the Vikings’ secondary. And maybe no defensive participant is extra underestimated than security Andrew Sendejo.

That saved a landing.

And Sendejo, it seems, is healthier in protection than Harrison Smith, although that is anticipated. As a robust security, Smith is healthier close to the road of scrimmage; he ranks ninth in PFF’s run-stops metric and is fifth in tackling effectivity.

Then there are the cornerbacks, beginning with Xavier Rhodes, who’s a legit shutdown nook. Michael Thomas had seven catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns however he had simply three catches for 46 yards and a rating towards Rhodes though he was focused 9 occasions. Through the common season, the Vikings have been ninth within the league towards opposing No. 1 receivers and fifth towards No. 2 receivers. Trae Waynes, who performs reverse Rhodes, can also be stout in run protection, whereas 39-year-old Terence Newman stays a stable cowl nook in Minnesota’s sub-packages.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson is aware of what he is up towards, however he additionally watched the Saints overcome a 17-Zero deficit. And proper up till this occurred, was satisfied he’d be going through New Orleans. However Pederson additionally is aware of that Nick Foles ain’t Drew Brees and this offense is not constructed to come back from behind, particularly towards this Vikings protection. Which suggests Philly must discover a strategy to rating early and in addition maintain Minnesota’s balanced offense on the sidelines.

Can it occur? Certain.

Will it occur? Not if the Vikings play like they’ve just about all season.

The Logical Rose-ning Section: Your Recap of The Bachelorette, Episode 4

Rachel Lindsay is a practicing attorney who once took the LSAT. And you, dear reader, are an aspiring attorney who will soon take the LSAT, Rachel Lindsay is also an aspiring married person, serving as the Bachelorette on this season of The Bachelorette, the love story these depraved times deserve. And you, dear reader, may also be an aspiring married person? Either way, you definitely have at least a few things in common with Rachel. So every Tuesday, we’re going to be tracking Rachel’s romantic journey on The Bachelorette, and see what we can learn about love, loss, and the LSAT. Welcome back to the Logical Rose-ning Section.

Last time: Well, we’ve been deprived of quality Bachelorette time these last two weeks as lesser competitions like the NBA Finals dominated the airwaves. In the meantime, we learned about how Rachel actually dated NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant in college … and that the producers may have committed gross negligence during the filming of spin-off Bachelor in Paradise, which allegedly led to a situation that is in no way humorous or romantic or anything these shows attempt to be. This resulted in legal action and the cancelation of BIP. With this distance and the intervening news stories, it’s tough to remember, say … the men grinding on the unwitting audience of The Ellen Degeneres Show or professional wrestler Pretty Boy Pitbull Kenny losing a wrestling match or Lee leaning into that Richard Spencer haircut of his.

Lee the Racist Leatherfaced Snake Person

We immediately pick up from last week, with Lee attempting to cut down Eric, Kenny, and Josiah. What do these three guys have in common that might not jibe with noted racist Lee? No idea. Anyway, as Lee attempts to manipulate these guys, he becomes increasingly desperate and volatile.

When Kenny attempts to have some one-on-one time with Rachel, Lee purposefully misunderstands Kenny’s request for “60 more seconds” with Rachel as a request for “16 more seconds” with Rachel, a duration of time no one has ever asked for, ever. Lee, upon pulling this “trick,” looks child who just tricked his parents into letting him go to bed at 9:30.

Dean and Brady pick up on Lee’s treachery. If Rachel doesn’t already pick up on Lee’s increasingly sweaty appearance and deranged actions, or the contestant’s growing antipathy for him, or his racist beliefs, then hopefully she realized she’s dealing with a horrible person once he gifted her a Manson-sque carving of “ENCHANTING” on a wood block.

That looks like it was a made by deranged serial killer who drank two pots of coffee and then used his left hand to engrave. It looks like it was made by a person trying to accurately replicate how he wrote as a kindergartner. It looks the last thing you see in a slasher film before Lee the Racist Leatherfaced Snake crashes through a window to slay himself a wife.

Lee absolutely dominates this episode as the editors set him up as this season’s villain. It’s really too bad that Rachel, who is among the smartest, most successful, and self-assured Bachelorettes this show has ever had, doesn’t get the typical villain who, like, gets a little too confident and drunk and flirty. She has to deal with this bigoted sweat gland of a human as her season’s villain, who views the manipulation of the non-white contestants as his right.

Rachel, of course is very perceptive, and seems to sense that Lee might not have the most enlightened beliefs or people skills. At this thought, she gets emotional—for the first time, she is a loss of words—about the pressures she faces as the first black Bachelorette. She mentions the harsh judgment she’ll receive for the decisions she has to make on the show. She also says she alone will face this judgment. Later, at the rose ceremony, Lee gets a rose. It’s hard not to see this sequence and think that she broke down at the producers’ insistence that she keep the Lee on to continue to fill the show’s drama quotient. Again, after the producers showed really bad judgment during Bachelor in Paradise, it’s hard to not assume they’re acting with the worst of intentions here.

Chris Harrison, scratching and crawling his way back onto the camera after being an afterthought this entire season, promises to “facilitate anything” that Rachel wants. He then does the only thing that seems to be within his powers as the nominal host of this show, which is to cut the cocktail party short and go straight to the rose ceremony.

Rose Ceremony

Smash cut to the rose ceremony, where Will, Dean, Jonathan the Tickle Predator, Piggo Mortensen, Adam (still don’t know who this is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), Bryan, Matt (don’t know this dude either), Josiah, Jack Stone, Iggy, Pretty Boy Pitbull Kenny, and Lee get the red rose of continued camera time. They join Eric and Peter, who already received date roses. This means that the elfin Bryce, the similar but slightly less elfin Brady, and Diggy must say goodbye. These contestants bid adieu to Rachel, and then walk solemnly to the cannon where Chris Harrison fires them in the general direction of their hometowns.

One-on-one date with Dean

This week’s episode was brought to us by the tourism board of Hilton Head, an island off the coast of South Carolina. The contestants travel to the island, which steadfastly kept its name despite the disreputable associations it conjured during the Paris Hilton sex tape scandal of the early aughts. Once on Hilton Head Island, do we learn about the island’s strategic importance during the Civil War? The rich culture and history of its Gullah inhabitants? The island’s lowcountry cuisine? Nope! We learn about blimps.

Dean, who looks like a laboratory-engineered contestant for this show, gets the one-on-one date with Rachel. They drink champagne on the hood a jeep when the Goodyear blimp, in all of its old-timey, slow-moving glory, approaches them with a message that their “ride is here.” 36 hours later, the blimp lands and they hop aboard.

Rachel, adorably, had a childhood fascination with blimps, which she referred to as “b’imps.” Dean, afraid of heights, struggles to repress images of the Hindenburg.

Rachel, doing the last thing someone who has a fear of blimps would want her to do, takes the wheel (Joystick? Old-fashioned lever and pulley operation?) of the blimp and manages to not immediately imperil the passengers. The pilot then lets Dean pretend that he’s controlling the blimp like a big boy. Dean and Rachel then step three feet away from the pilot in the back of the cockpit to enjoy a quasi-intimate moment.

The blimp then flies by the hotel the other contestants are staying at with the message “Ice Cube’s a pimp” “Dean and Rachel 4 ever.” The last thing these insecure knuckleheads need is an airborne advertisement of Rachel’s intimacy with another guy. They try to reassure themselves that Dean is younger and handsomer than they are … which in their warped minds is a bad thing.

Dean gets the date rose. Rachel and Dean then go to concert by something called Russell Dickerson. These live performances by D-level musicians are a staple of one-on-one dates, but who are they for? The musician looks like he is just trying to get through a contractually-obligated performance that will maybe net him $14.73 of new spins on Spotify. The Bachelorette and contestant look uncomfortable as props in a live show. And the crowd of 37 Craigslist extras look just as confused about what a Russell Dickerson is as the rest of us. Anyway, successful date!

Group Date

Afterwards, we move onto the group date, featuring Alex, Anthony, Piggo Mortensen, Bryan, Jonathan, Adam, Matt, Kenny, Lee, Iggy, Eric, Will, Josiah. This leaves Jack Stone with the one-on-one date, which is shelved for another episode.

This massive gaggle of guys are invited to a boat to see Hilton Head Island. The dudes bring out their best boat attire, but none better than Josiah, who wears flood pants high enough that his cuffs would stay bone dry even if their boat sunk to the bottom of the Port Royal Sound.

On the boat, the dudes have a dance off, a rap off, and eventually a shirt off competition. During the rap battle, Piggo calls Rachel a “girl from the hood” keeping with the theme of racist nonsense in this episode. Dude, her dad has been a federal judge for like 20 years.

The guys then are compelled to do a spelling bee. Josiah brags about his vocabulary, but can’t immediately think of a word to describe the vastness of his lexicon. My favorite words are wordy words that describe wordy words, so let me help you out Josiah: brag about your vocabulary full of recondite, grandiloquent, abstruse, recherché, and arcane words next time.

Some guys get easy words like “passion” and “façade.” Other guys get words that are literally impossible to spell, like “boutonniere.” Josiah, as promised, wins the spelling bee. The only thing higher than his IQ is the hem of his drawers.

What these dudes would have scored on the LSAT

This episode really focused on these dudes’ smarts, which allows us to surmise what they would have scored on their LSAT. Here are a few educated guesses:

Dean is perceptive, picks up on Lee’s lack of respect right away, and is able to calmly articulate that into the producer without saying anything regrettable himself. He seems like he is able to absorb information and make the proper deductions. 168.

Jack Stone stumbled into a conversation and thought Dean was referring to the other contestants’ “corks,” not “quirks.” 143.

Bryan, in response to Rachel’s query that Bryan’s charm seems too good to be true: “It’s a fairy tale.” Bryan, in response to Rachel’s retort that it is not a fairy tale: “It’s real, it’s 1000% real. I promise you.” 138.

Iggy, during the spelling bee, mixes up “boudoir” with “Bordeaux” (which he also spells incorrectly), which leads me to believe he is prone to equivocation fallacies and sloppy mistakes. 141.

Eric misses four out of the six words in “façade.” Missing four out of six questions on the December 2016 LSAT would net Eric a 136.

Back to the Group Date

During the cocktail portion of the group date, Piggo establishes pole position in this group, as he and Rachel start to discuss living arrangements. Rachel is apparently licensed to practice in Wisconsin, allowing her to move to Piggo’s hometown of Madison. This surprises Piggo Mortensen, but Wisconsin lets experienced attorneys from every other jurisdiction practice there, so basically every attorney is licensed to practice cheese curd law or whatever the main legal industry in Wisconsin is.

Meanwhile, the other dudes use their time with Rachel to question the motives of other guys in the house. Iggy brings up doubts about Josiah. Josiah brings up how Iggy admitted to shooting steroids into his testicles.

Lee brings up Kenny. Kenny brings up Lee. Things get heated between an increasingly frustrated Kenny (who, embracing the hottest term of January 2017, calls Lee “an alternative facts piece of garbage”) and an increasingly inebriated Lee. It looks like everything is about to come to a head until … duh duh duh … they hit us with the third consecutive “TO BE CONTINUED …”

What we learned about love

The journey to find love is a perilous journey best traveled via outdated and dangerous airships from the 1920s.

What we learned about loss

There’s no shame in losing a spelling bee, provided you get most of the letters of your word correct.

What we learned about the LSAT

These dudes would not do well on the LSAT, but Rachel? Probably very well, although the exact score is still undetermined.

Fans to the Front: How Internet Fandoms Are Gaming the Music Industry

How Does Online Gaming Work?

On line gaming affords spirited or supportive video games on laptop with diverse customers, via Net or a nearby vicinity network. Now, a query arises, why it’s miles required to play in opposition to a PC as soon as you have choice to play with a individual? The solution for this question is that On-line gaming hyperlinks you with various gamers of the globe and creates such an ecosystem for you in which you could take care of every other and experience like a actual scenario.

through On-line gaming, you may subjugate a rival of this sort of nature who would not yet live in this world. The action among players is controlled through servers in internet games whilst pictures and sound are handled along with your pc. There are mass styles of Net games to pick out with. you can play complex video games directly with the assist of a rapid Net connection.

On-line gaming requires a network that includes solitary or more computer systems to paintings as servers fandoms. The computer systems of the gamers are termed as customers. clients link to the server via the Internet or a nearby community.

The server acts like a company of the internet gaming that keeps tune with selected game of the player, keeps statistics of a participant and additionally provides gossip between players.

At the time of playing recreation, the server helps the movements of every participant. As members shift, play a card or blaze a weapon, the “country of the world” messages is despatched to the server by way of their computer systems then after receiving the signals server transmits these alerts to the alternative patron computer systems without delay. Any movements which you make At the time of recreation emerge on different customers’ computers. The consumer laptop then transmits the sounds and graphics hence affords the visual results for all players.

Net video games may be categorised into organizations. One organization this is on hand via centralized servers even as different group that runs through disbursed servers. Federal servers typically host the games that permit variety of customers to play simultaneously At the same time as is required in huge players video games like Ever Quest. The significant server enclosed with numerous information regarding the state of affairs for those games. the arena of game runs non-prevent around the clock, subsequently the sport keeps both you play or now not. Internet video games by no means sincerely ends, you may preserve play as in line with your choice. To start play person desires to open the patron software that connects to the grasp server of the sport.

even as in a distributed device, server software stores several excited recreation servers on clients’ Desktops. Immediately approach is utilized in video games inclusive of Fable and 3D shooters like Quake III Area and many others. these video games want very set off updates referred to as “state of the arena”. distributed servers increase the % of communique out; a solitary server hardly ever maintains up with numerous Quake players.

the game servers talk alerts to grasp server in each minute and the master server shows the addresses of each dynamic game servers. In case you need to play then you want to get the listing of lively recreation servers to be had with the grasp server. gamers can inquiry individual servers, from the records listing, regarding the category of sport exist on that server; the “ding time” and what number of players are gambling or length calls for for communicating of commands between the server and the player. players commonly choose a server of the much less ping time before they link straight to the sport server.

Top Ten List of Fandom Hottness

This text is going out especially for my fellow female gamers, geeks, and nerds. I have taken it upon myself to make my first Top Ten Listing of Fandom Hotness. However, this List isn’t always only for the chicks. No, the boys can take a lesson from it as nicely. (Trace: that is what we say we like our men.)

Now, before I even without a doubt gets commenced, allow me to say that understand I left off you’re all time favorite. I, and also you, have to accept that. But that is my Listing. You may make your own, However, it may not be as correct, or humorous, as mine, so apprehend and read on.

To start, I have consulted several assets in the studies section of this task, and in doing so found out that there had to be some type of criteria by way of which I needed to then be capable of fairly weigh and stability my selections.

Rule One: No Limits. It’s right, aside from film and Tv indicates, I’m including some ebook and video game characters. I am now not ashamed to admit that my first real crush was on Jason from War of the Planets.

Rule Two: No actor names. It is unfair that during movies Antonio Banderas is a hottie, But in real life, he’s a gitty performing twit. And the way is it viable that the same guy who is the silky easy and dreamy voice of Puss is likewise the voice of the bee in the Nasonex advertisements? There has to be some separation, a line desires to be drawn. And except, I have no idea what humans’ names are. I know Jason Bourne, now not the actor’s name, what’s-his-face.

Rule Three: Chatter. There must be a certain amount of swooning when the call become stated to my gal friends. If eyes didn’t roll returned, the knees buckle, and a grin slide across their face at the same time as pronouncing “Oh Lord” (or there about) the man did not make the Listing.

Rule 4: The go-phase. To be as equitable as viable, and utilizing the sources and the time I had to be had, I pooled as the fairly extensive style of girls as I had access to.

Ages: from 22 to 78

Marital Status: Complete variety – Dating, Engaged, Married, Divorced (one amiable and a pair of sour), and Widowed

Orientation: This is not the Navy, I requested. 3 “Complete time” bi’s (their phrases), one “energetic” bi-curious (whatever the hell meaning), Two lesbians, Three homosexual men; and an easy dozen instantly girls rounding out the organization. 21 wonderful minds in overall, if my math is right. Optimistically, I wouldn’t believe it, upload it up once more for your self.

Rule 5: Most critical rule of all, each and each one of the ladies whose responses were considered is fans of the genera we adore and keep dear. Our fandom maybe is random, But we like our men.

However just to get you warmed up, here’s a List entitled “Additionally Ran.” There were in all likelihood 100 of them on the start, However I wittled it down taking into consideration time ans area. once more, in case your imaginary boyfriend did not make the Listing, e-me his stats and he’s going to be eligible for my next Listing of Fandom Hotness. So, without in addition ado, right here is But a sampling of quality men who for what ever motives 21 chicks could not unanimously agree on their making the Pinnacle 10:

Pinnacle Ten List of Fandom Hotness 10. Lacroix, from the Forever Knight Tv collection (Nigel Bennett). He was our first study a real platinum blond vampire, and truly, who has finished it better considering that? He was a devilish cad, unreliable, unpredictable, and changed into down right evil.

As a traveling associate, he became no longer the nice, who prefer to be alone and examine his spell book instead of speak at the nightly camp fireplace. His temperament ran hot and bloodless and he was continually short to factor out the failings in the whole thing. His fitness turned into chronically bad and he turned into not capable of travel rapid, pressure march, or fight lengthy. But he changed into really effective and really worth gaining knowledge of if you can hack your manner to his heart. He became devoted to his brothers and went above and beyond for his or her sake. Unlike Elrick, Raistlin is a keeper.

7. Richard “Rick” O’Connell of the mummy film franchise (Brandon Fraiser). A die difficult adventurer with a tuff as nails outside, Rick has a smooth, romantic, gooie middle.

He turned into a poet with the aid of career who became banished from the lady he cherished handiest to find himself taking part in a completely real and really risky journey.

He turned into a freedom fighter, and prefer such a lot of others, died for what he believed in. However he knew that going into it, did not he?

four. Tyr Anasazi, from the Tv show Gene Rodenberry’s: Andromada (Keith Hamilton Cobb). O.M.G. “warm” does not even begin to cowl it. he’s stoic, passionate, a brooder, and has a hard and fast of powerfully constructed fingers that wouldn’t hug you a lot as they they could envelope your quivering frame. Mmmmmm.

3. Spike, from the Tv display Buffy the Vampire Slayer (James Marsters). Josh Wheaton did “darkish” justice. He’s quite notable simply in meting out the ache on the characters you like. Spike has had extra than his truthful percentage of pain and heart ache. A poet and doting mamma’s boy in existence, negative William have become “William the Bloody” whilst he have become a vampire, and then later earned himself the nickname “Spike.” he’s got a tapered British accent, swept returned platinum blond hair, devilish Green eyes, and a smirk greater than a grin whilst he flashes his pearly whites. Spike was a piece in progress, a attempted and real unique terrible guy who over the direction of years have become now not most effective a relied on friend and allie However lover to the very lady otherwise sworn to spoil his kind.

Stewart has been the group’s featured returned since the departure of DeAngelo Williams 3 years ago. Carolina nonetheless has confidence in Stewart as evidenced by means of signing the 30-year-old Stewart to a two-12 months contract extension in advance this offseason.

The Panthers signed free agent left address Matt Kalil this offseason with the idea of shifting Oher to right tackle. But the addition of Moton, who in no way missed a sport at Western Michigan, raises the questions of whether or not he’s clearly a coverage or if the Panthers are beginning to think Oher may not make it back next season.

BENJAMIN’S destiny: After the draft, Rivera discovered 0.33-12 months veteran extensive receiver Kelvin Benjamin said to offseason conditioning workout routines “a little heavy.” Rivera recounted that the load is regarding. The Panthers had said in advance this offseason they might choose up the 5th-year alternative on Benjamin’s agreement, but that hasn’t taken place but. Benjamin struggled at times remaining yr in his first season again from a torn ACL but finished robust. However, weight has been a trouble for Benjamin inside the past and Rivera wondered in 2015 if the huge receiver’s excess weight would possibly have contributed to a few offseason hamstring troubles.
