This is actually a good thing. Geez I wish I never sold my Disney stock. I should have repurchased it when what's his name was fired (that God awful CEO from the 90s).

Lucas is 68. Hope the big guy lives to see SW9. Another good thing is Lucas will tell the story and someone else will write it up and someone else will direct it. Play to your strengths. Lucas is a hell of a storyteller but a lousy director and awful with dialog. "Anakin, you're breaking my heart."

Disney has the $$$ to make 7,8,9 and make them well. PotC alone can pay for those films.

Now if only they can get Alfonso Cuaron to direct one of them... 🙏

I expected more out of the Avengers.. but we shall see where they take that. No doubt the effects were spectacular with that film.. just lagged a bit with the drama in the story line.

Being a huge Batman fan, I liked Dark Knight Rises more than Avengers, although I think Avengers was a better 'movie'. Probably doesn't make sense, but I get it. Yes, I know it wasn't a Disney movie. I'm huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean too, although the last one which I seen in 3D with my sister (first time we met in 19 years) lacked the humor and story of the previous three. I think a few characters were missing that bummed me out.

No publication of any kind strikes Gold with every feature published so get over the whole "Disney can ruin" this or that because you don't look culture, you look inept.

I didn't watch any of the Star Wars movies until 2010/11 when I watched them all over the weekend.

The Avengers was more about how they learned to go from doing their thing alone to working as a cohesive unit. And beating the Chitauri and Loki. I'm hoping the next Avengers has a bit more drama/plot and a bit less action myself, but who knows. I still loved 'em.

And I couldn't agree with you more on the bolded.

In the past 30 years there have been Disney flicks that I was more than a little disappointed with. I won't say they ruined them. just expected a little more.

As far as the Pirates, I liked the first one but they kept slipping after that. I don't like "unfinished" movies and it seems like all the rest of them were.

I am glad Lucas will write the stories that will surely help.

I did like the Avengers series. Just re-watched them on Netflix a few weeks ago.

Zero2Cool (2h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (2h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (2h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (2h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (2h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.
