Why Your Team Sucks 2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jake Gyllenhaal ("Stronger") and Jessica Chastain ("Molly's Game") have arrived this season in two very different true-life stories.

Just like Peter Berg's "Patriots Day," "Stronger" is one of those movies that - simply put - puts everything in perspective for you, the audience member.

• Movie on Boston Marathon bombing recreates scene with Red Sox's David Ortiz. Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg recall Ortiz's now-famous 54-word speech depicted.
• Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the first official trailer for director David Gordon Green's Boston Marathon Bombing drama, Stronger.
• · You showed the world that they can't break us no matter what the hell they do. Lionsgate has unveiled the first trailer for David Gordon Green's Stronger.
• We compare the Patriots Day movie to the true story of the Boston Marathon Bombing. Meet the real Jeffrey Pugliese, Jessica Kensky and the Tsarnaev brothers.

• · The man who became a hero after finding Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in his backyard in 2013 has died.
• The media has remained mostly silent as the centenary of the Bolshevik revolution has come and now gone. After all, the media does not want to appear too biased in.

Some people are fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. This 2. 01. 7 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Tampa Bay Bucs.

Your 2. 01. 6 record: 9- 7. In those seven losses, the Bucs gave up nearly five touchdowns a game. Derek Carr hung 5. Raiders committed 2. The Rams hung 3. 7 on them somehow.

This is a rough estimate, but 9. Tavon Austin’s total receiving yards last year came against the Bucs. Watch Smash &Amp; Grab: The Story Of The Pink Panthers Online Fandango here. But please keep telling me that this is an up- and- coming defense. This team still starts Chris Conte. During real games, no less!

Your coach: Dirk Koetter. Well, I am sure there are plenty of people that think my playcalling stinks… But I’ve been doing it for 3. I don’t think I’m going to forget how.” Well actually, Dirk, in your NFL career your teams have had a winning percentage below . So it’s not that you’ve forgotten how to call plays, but rather the fact that you never learned how to call them to begin with.

By the way, the Bucs were this season’s designated Hard Knocks victim. Let’s see what kind of EXCLUSIVE ACCESS we’ve been given into Koetter and his coaching methods.

Christ. Honestly, it’s like they just draw slogans out of a hat every year. Your quarterback: Congratulations, Jameis Winston! Your sexual battery case was finally dismissed after reaching an undisclosed settlement with your accuser! Finally, you can put this whole ordeal behind you. What a hardship it must have been. For YOU. Now Jameis is free to be a “leader” who “absorbs the playbook like a sponge” and “routinely commits turnovers that belong in silent comedies”: Every time I gotta read some horseshit about Jameis’s uncommon maturity and growth as a passer, it’s like people completely forget that, at least once a game, he will take the snap and proceed to re- enact every Nordberg scene from The Naked Gun. By the way, Jameis has been the showcase star of this season’s Hard Knocks.

Here he is killing a cockroach while it’s mating: Technically, that’s ALSO sexual assault. And here he is acting like Taylor Swift in the front row of an award show: I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Jameis Winston may not be the most genuine (or mature) fellow in the world. Fresh off beating the rap, he had the balls to lecture a group of schoolgirls about being silent, polite, and gentle.

Fuck his phony ass with a pirate flag. Thankfully, the Bucs imported a MENTOR to help him become 5.

That’s right. It’s Harvard Man, in the flesh! I could be dead in the ground 5.

I swear that Ryan Fitzpatrick could still be holding down an NFL roster spot for no reason whatsoever. This team now has not one, but TWO Harvard grads on the roster. I swooooon at the potential for elevated sideline discourse.

Oh, nothing coach. Just sipping some Gatorade and discussing the impact on South China Sea trade routes should a preemptive strike in North Korea take place [FARTS]” What’s new that sucks: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU CUT THE KICKER. Yes, after trading up to draft Roberto Aguayo in the second round, the Bucs had to cut him and replace him with Nick Folk…Priceless. That’s what you get for FSU- ifying half the roster. No one should ever let this team forget about the Aguayo draft bust. This was already one of the worst picks in draft history before they released the poor bastard. They should put a monument to the trade next to the stadium bathroom.

GM Jason Licht should have to walk around with a sandwich board that says I TOOK A KICKER IN THE SECOND ROUND LIKE A MORON all day long.“I’m owning up to it by releasing him. It was a bold move and it didn’t work out. I don’t know what else to say.” “Bold” isn’t the word I’d use there, amigo.

Elsewhere on the roster, De. Sean Jackson is here! On paper, the arrival of Jackson and absolute stud TE OJ Howard (drafted to replace the drunk driver they originally had at that slot) make the Bucs one of the best young passing teams in football. But, as someone who has watched De. Sean Jackson over the years, I can assure you that every accidental fumble Winston makes is one that Jackson can make deliberately. Doug Martin was suspended for the first four games for Adderall, and will be suspended four more after he beats my ass for screaming MUSCLE HAMSTER at him from a nearby balcony. Watch A Very Long Engagement Online Iflix there. Mike Evans drops passes as swiftly as he drops visible Anthem protests.

Jon Gruden is getting inducted into the team’s ring of honor this season, even though Bill Callahan’s playsheet should have been inducted way before him. One of the linemen dined and dashed on a five- figure club tab.

What has always sucked: Miko Grimes claimed that she deliberately got her husband cut in Miami so he could come to Tampa. You played yourself, lady. Only an idiot would scheme to leave the glistening shores of South Beach to go to live in the middle of a Dog the Bounty Hunter fancon. She must have thought she could avoid the tax man there.

I may be biased here because a jury of Tampa tattoo artists bankrupted this site’s former company, but for real, Fuck Tampa. Tampa is the Arizona of Florida. Tampa is a seething mass of divorcees and wannabe pirates deliberately living in the cheesiest possible area. The Bucs stadium isn’t even the most popular building on its block (that honor goes to Mons Venus). There’s a reason that Jon Gruden has a completely unironic love of Hooters.

That’s 1. 00 percent Tampa right there. I’m surprised they don’t blare Hoobastank from air raid signals all day long. I took my family to Tampa for Spring Break once. Seagulls tried to eat our dinner every night and some lady brought an entire hi- fi system to the pool so she could play Bon Jovi. Tampa is the worst.

It’s the only city in America aiming to REDUCE mass transit. Nazis are everywhere. Local sports teams had to give money just to get a Confederate statue taken down and it still hasn’t been taken down. A local middle school tried to sell kids a $1. The Scientologists are the most normal people there. Fuck Tampa eternally. VIVA GAWKER, MOTHERFUCKER.

What might not suck: They’re good enough on offense to score 4. Did you know? HEAR IT FROM BUCS FANS! Matthew: Robert Aguayo. Robert Aguayo. Robert Aguayo. Anton: There is nothing worse than waiting for decades for your team to get a potentially elite QB and then have him be an alleged rapist. Who tells groups of young girls they need to shut up and let the men lead.

Alex: Fuck Josh Freeman. Joseph: In two season Jameis will be the Bucs all=time leader in passing yards, surpassing Vinny fucking Testaverde. Jeb Lund: The problem with Why Your Team Sucks is that, every year, I strive to think of something uniquely bad about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, some suck- property that grounds the team athletically and geographically in a characteristic awfulness that other people can point to and say, “I get why thisteam blows.”But I’m starting to think that’s misguided, like writing a negative review of a flat, sad Big Mac. It’s a mediocrity expected, universal and unenlightening, as dissatisfying as you want it to be, assuming you need to buy it at all. Apart from the pirate ship, Raymond James Stadium is unlovely in the way most stadiums are unlovely. It’s not exiled to some featureless exurban hinterland, but it’s not in a downtown core accessible to walking or convenient public transportation.

Before games, the neighborhood food carts and stalls are all pleasantly above average; afterward, the hassle of finding a way to get to something else to do is what you’d expect. Are the owners soulless profiteers using the NFL revenue stream to underwrite more exciting pursuits while relying on die- hard, underserved suckers? Yes. Does this distinguish them from most NFL owners? No. A Bucs fan gets grifted like everybody else.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain Arrive in Very Different Biopics – Variety. Watch New In Town Online. Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut “Molly’s Game” and David Gordon Green’s emotional drama “Stronger” landed at the Toronto Film Festival Friday, providing showcase true- life roles for Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, respectively. The two stars, who are incidentally set to partner on screen together in Stephen Gaghan’s Tom Clancy adaptation “The Division,” could dive headlong into very different lead actor and actress Oscar races this year.

It’s been more than a decade since Gyllenhaal roped in a supporting actor nomination for his performance opposite Heath Ledger in Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain.” In the years since, he stumbled just enough (2. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”) to recalibrate and maintain a true heading on roles that excite and challenge him. Indeed, that recalibration has become the actor’s ongoing narrative, as performances in films like “End of Watch,” “Prisoners,” “Enemy,” “Nightcrawler,” “Southpaw” and “Demolition,” among others, reveal a fearless trajectory and a desire to work with compelling artists like Denis Villeneuve and Jean- Marc Vallee. Already this year Gyllenhaal has appeared in Bong Joon- ho’s “Okja,” delivering an off- the- rails portrayal that sparked quite a divisive reaction — one that seemed to amuse the actor all the more.

But he’s on the complete other end of the spectrum in “Stronger,” which tells the true story of Boston marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman. Bauman lost both legs in the blast and even assisted in identifying terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev for investigators, helping to ensure he and brother Dzhokhar were brought to justice. But the film doesn’t focus on the intense manhunt that proved electrifying fodder for Peter Berg’s “Patriots Day.” Rather, it’s concerned with Bauman’s hard- fought recovery and his emotional journey from aimless townie to responsible adult. Naturally, that allows quite a canvas for Gyllenhaal to work with.“Molly’s Game,” meanwhile, represents an assured transition for screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to the director’s chair. For Chastain, it provides a ripe opportunity to deliver an impressive range as Molly Bloom, a waitress- turned- poker- maven who ran high stakes poker games for elites in Los Angeles and New York. But the story, for Sorkin (working from Bloom’s memoir), isn’t about a waitress- turned- anything.

Rather, it’s about a promising Olympic- grade skier who had her career- cut short thanks to a twig (you’ll get it when you see it) and was fearlessly driven to succeed otherwise — all the way into the grips of an FBI investigation. The film allows Chastain to play confident, vulnerable, proud, ashamed — the gamut. Center throughout is a sense of integrity that gives the character her enigmatic edge. Bloom is a less damaged version of Chastain’s forthright lobbyist in last year’s “Miss Sloane,” but a more nuanced one all the same.

She was peripherally in the Oscar race for that film, but “Molly’s Game” ought to leave a deeper impression, depending on how STX Entertainment plans to negotiate its latest Oscar shot. Pitches for “Free State of Jones” and “The Edge of Seventeen” ran out of track last year.)The lead actress race is already bottlenecking, however. The Venice and Telluride film festivals just put Sally Hawkins (“The Shape of Water”), Saoirse Ronan (“Lady Bird”), Emma Stone (“Battle of the Sexes”) and Frances Mc. Dormand (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) on the board. Judi Dench arrived in “Victoria & Abdul” as well, though a movie that slight won’t likely stick while others are sure to linger (even if she is Dame Judi Dench).

There are probably half a dozen legitimate contenders besides, and Margot Robbie is primed to leap into the discussion if “I, Tonya” finds a distributor. Conversely, a less competitive lead actor race benefits Gyllenhaal’s bid. The only sure- fire nominee to be seen so far is Gary Oldman in “Darkest Hour,” and not to put too fine a point on it, but it may be a race to lose to him. Christian Bale could make it interesting with a “Hostiles” acquisition, and there are a few contenders set to drop in Toronto and New York in the coming weeks like Denzel Washington (“Roman J. Israel, Esq.”), Andrew Garfield (“Breathe”) and Bryan Cranston (“Last Flag Flying”), among others. And don’t forget Daniel Day- Lewis’ well- publicized final film performance (for now). All in all, however, that race just feels a bit more fluid than the lead actress competition.

Green and Sorkin’s movies do have a handful of supporting performances worth mentioning. In “Stronger,” Tatiana Maslany stars as Bauman’s girlfriend Erin Hurley, who helps him pull it together with a healthy dose of tough love. The Emmy- winning “Orphan Black” star actually does quite a lot with the familiar role. Miranda Richardson’s complex rendering of Bauman’s mother, meanwhile, is expert but unfussy. In “Molly’s Game,” Idris Elba gets to chew on most of the film’s Sorkin- esque dialogue as an attorney taking on Bloom’s radioactive case, while Kevin Costner stars as her steel- willed psychiatrist father. But these are films owned by their leads, platforms that will catapult two of the industry’s top stars into the awards conversation just as the prestige season begins to take shape.
