As bad as Hudson Hawk was (is), I am not sure that The Last Boy Scout isn't worse simply because he had been involved with one dog shit movie and known to step away from another piece of crap script.
The issue for me hasn't been about laughs, but instead story lines and at time the direction of a series where it seemed as if they had gotten bored with it and not really sure what sacred cow to go after next.
Do we know if the Astros medical staff are treating Christian Harris?
No surprise the Texans' defensive line is looking the better of the two, look at the resources that have been invested in that area of the team as compared to the offensive line. Hell, they are supposed to be the strength of this team so if they weren't looking better there would be some real concerns.
That said, hope the offensive line responds to the challenge.
According to Spotrac here is the breakdown of Astros money:
Active Roster - $118M+
Injured List - $67M+
Dead Money - ~$650K
Retained Money - $34M+
Abreu, Montero, and Pressly make up most of that retained money.

Appreciate the work and the info.
Altuve, Hader, and Walker are roughly $70-75M. Who else is on that roster making much money because that is another $60M.
Curious what the disparity is between the amount of payroll the Astros have on the IL right now and the Astros active roster.
Heck for that matter, if the other 8 guys in the line up make half of what Altuve is getting paid (not complaining, just using as a point of reference).
Scheduling in all of the major conferences is moronic and this dumbarse idea of no divisions is indefensible when you can see multiple fuckups with standings.
Split the conferences, keep Baylor-Tecj-TCU and keep the conference title game.
One would hope those 10 episodes a year would be pure gold, but based upon the fact they have been given fuck you money on top of their fuck you money already paid to them I don't have much hope.
Fairly certain no one on this board foresaw that lineup for the Astros in July and I call bullshit if anyone claims there would be a better chance of Brice Matthews hitting in the 5-spot for a MLB division leader than Yordan Alvarez.
You referring to the GM who has a roster with 17 players on the IL and somehow has cobbled together enough talent to have a lead in division?
Oh, I am not completely certain that most of the things you referenced in your 3rd line are decisions making by the manager and the coaching staff and not the GM.
As do women volleyball players, swimmers, divers, track athletes, etc......and you can find it in other parts of the world where supposedly they don't have the advantage of the Title IX supported feeder programs (i.e. college basketball).
Reuters story that is linked below mentions the loss of $40M attributed to an unknown source, also mentions ad revenue down 40% since 2018, and that most recent ratings for the period ending in May at 1.9M.

Not sure whether you consider Reuters legit or not, but it isn't Fox, Puck, the New York Post etc... amazing how things change and yet stay the same with so much energy and time spent on whether a news source can be trusted or not.
