And that Oliver Stone football movie...always been a fan of.

Another Oliver Stone fan? Really? That guy is so overrated. Stone has coasted of the critical success of one frickin' movie. He's a terrible director and an even more insane human being.

Agh don't get me started or I'll have to move over to the "grinds my gears" thread and give Stone a piece of my mind.

Yes, because Alexander, Savages, Wall Street 2, W., World Trade Center, Any Given Sunday, and Natural Born Killers were all tour de force films.

Ugh. I'm done with this topic. On to something else!

I have to agree Oliver Stone is vastly overrated. Alexander was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Natural Born Killers is awful, anyone who likes that movie needs their brain checked because odds are you have to be on drugs or really messed up to like that kind of crap.

Changing subjects I see that Compton and DHall are getting into it. Good stuff Compton is going to surprise people this year IMO.

I apologize for the Al Pacino reference which started this. Stone is overrated - but I do recall enjoying Natural Born Killers and would watch it again rite now.

So I read from practice reports that Gettis is improving.

I've read some good reports lately on Gettis, LeRibeus, and Compton. They all obviously have a long way to go, but it's nice to hear they are improving.

As we all know art is subjective, just take a look at the supposed "top 10 films of all time" list, most of which were released well before we were born. As for any given Sunday, I thought it was mediocre when I first watched it, that's because I was way to young to understand the behind the scene politics and intricacies of playing, coaching, and owning a team in the NFL.

Fast forward 15 years later, now that I've matured, and became more educated about the greatest league to ever form, I see the movie in a completely different light, it's remarkable how deep he went into the psychological aspects and struggles that everyone has to endure, the astronomical amount of pressure that's put on everyone involved. In my opinion it's arguably the greatest football movie ever made, although the longest yard and remember the Titans were great ones too.

I saw a stat yesterday (I forget where though) that the Redskins have drafted the most OL in the NFL since 2010.. Combine that with the stat that we've drafted the most players in the past 2 drafts it seems like there is a plan to build depth..

In addition to the good reports on Gettis, LeRibeus and Compton I am also that I haven't seen where Hurt has regressed or peaked. It would be nice to have him as a solid backup that we could count on if needed.

Rudy, Brians Song, Radio - all three trump any given sunday - imo of course

LeRibeus has some real dirtbag potential.
(i mean that as a positive, dirtbag like a baby hog)
