Joe, quite the impressive list of movies that you have seen recently. I like that you graded one on a 4 point scale, while using a 5 point scale for the rest. I saw Silver Linings Playbook over the holidays with my parents and enjoyed it more than I expected. Bradley Cooper was surprisingly good and Jennifer Lawrence was parading her ass around in yoga pants for good chunks of the movie. It would make a good date movie. Butts and I saw Zero Dark Thirty last night; I thought it was more interesting than entertaining. We both agreed that Jessica Chastain was pretty bad. That being said, I still wouldn't mind having sex with her.

Speaking of Zero Dark Thirty, this WaPo article was pretty interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/in-zero-dark-thirty-shes-the-hero-in-real-life-cia-agents-career-is-more-complicated/2012/12/10/cedc227e-42dd-11e2-9648-a2c323a991d6_story_1.html

It seems like TV is picking up. I've enjoyed the beginning of the Justified season. Archer starts tonight and An Idiot Abroad starts this weekend. I'm intrigued enough to give The Americans a chance when it debuts at the end of the month. Does anyone, besides Vert, still watch Top Chef? This week's episode was maddening to me.

Hafer, I loved the story about the dude outsourcing his own job.

This Manti Te'o story cracks me up. I am pretty sure that he was involved, given past quotes from him and his family in articles. I don't know if he is gay, an absolute moron that got catfished, or what, but this has filled me with glee. There have been hilarious tweets on the subject, many referencing ND and the title game. I really liked Seth Meyers: "These Te'o jokes are all very funny but let's all try and remember that a person who never existed is dead." I also saw a funny gif of Brian Kelly in a Usual Suspects like end scene that was pretty well done. It's also nice that this is shining a light on the rape that ND refused to investigate and the Declan Sullivan death that they swept under the rug.

What do you Iggles fans think of the Chip Kelly hiring? I have been on record for a couple years now that I don't see his system working in the NFL. I'm sure that he'll modify it, but I'm just not sold on him. Given the way the season played out, I can't imagine Vick being an Eagle next year, but I would think that Kelly would prefer him for his offense.

I'm not sold on the Trestman hiring for the Bears either. Everything I read suggests that it will be a home run hire or a miserable failure. I would have much preferred Bruce Arians (I'm shocked that he hasn't been hired yet, but it looks like he may end up with the Cardinals).
