This Is a Blog: Playoff Numbers Time, Again!
http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2013/12/playoff-numbers-time-again.html
Thursday, December 26, 2013. Playoff Numbers Time, Again! It may favorite time of year again. Time to talk about everyone's favorite part of football: NUMBERS! But first, the blow off games. All six teams in these three games are out. But funny story, at the time I'm writing this, Redskins/Giants is the game Fox is showing in Los Angeles Sunday morning. Good call! AFC: The Easy to Follow One. And the other Wild Card slot is where we will begin. The Bengals could sneak into a first round bye. Are in, no m...

This Is a Blog: Ramblings on Serial
http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2014/12/ramblings-on-serial.html
Thursday, December 18, 2014. I'd like to point out for the record, that is a shit list, not a death list, you know, just in case someone decides to use this as evidence in my murder trial. Hearing them paint this picture makes me think of how Marilyn Manson was blamed for Columbine or the opening scene of Shawshank. Right off the bat, it makes no sense. If Adnan is a calculated psychopath, who plotted out giving Jay is cell phone, asking Hae for a ride, driving around Baltimore, then being back in ti...

This Is a Blog: 16 Ways the HIMYM Ending Missed the Point
http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2014/04/16-ways-himym-ending-missed-point.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2014. 16 Ways the HIMYM Ending Missed the Point. Before I rip into it, I want to be clear I have a lot of respect for the way the creators chose to end the show. The finale was their highest rated episode, and two days later, people are still talking about it. The finale gave the fans a lot of what they wanted. They validated fan theories. They closed out all the major story lines. The Ideal Seventh Season. Was anyone else confused when Nora disappeared and this other girl showed up?

http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2014/12/time-once-again-to-eschew-everything.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Time once again to eschew everything interesting about football and talk in cold, hard numbers. Why? Because I've done this more than once in consecutive years, and that makes it a tradition. So let's dive in, starting with games you can completely ignore. Yes, you're seeing that right. I'm admitting the Patriots game does not matter. That's only because the Patriots are locked into #1. And there's nothing anyone can do about it. Number one team in the NFL. Boosh! That makes t...

This Is a Blog: Seriously, Fuck "Boyhood." Discuss.
http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2015/01/seriously-fuck-boyhood-discuss.html
Sunday, January 18, 2015. Seriously, Fuck "Boyhood." Discuss. The title of this post is what I thought about posting to Facebook immediately after watching "Boyhood." I chose not to because that would just be trolling. There is nothing more annoying than the one guy who feels like they have to convince everyone that a popular thing is dumb. 1) Does the movie ever transcend the gimmick of how it was made? 2) Why the fuck is it three hours? Can someone, please, tell me one thing Mason DOES? I realize that ...

This Is a Blog: My Only Oscar Race
http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2015/02/my-only-oscar-race.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. My Only Oscar Race. This is the year art won at the Oscars. The eight Best Picture nominations represent eight solid visions and eight original, powerful stories. But none of them were that great. Some years we get The Godfather. Some years we get 12 Years a Slave. And some years we get Argo. While none of the Best Picture nominees were as bad as Argo, none of them were really all that transcendent. For me, only one race mattered: Best Animated Feature. Big Hero 6" wins). The b...

http://blog.adamdaroff.com/2014/03/if-mother-dies-show-dies.html
Tuesday, March 4, 2014. If the Mother Dies, The Show Dies. I have been actively forgiving of How I Met Your Mother. I have trudged through every awful episode because once upon a time, series creator Carter Bays promised he had an ending in mind the whole time that would make it all worth it. He was supposedly overseeing every episode, so no matter what happened, it would align with this grand ending. When filming the Harry Potter. The show's success as a story rests on the basic premise that despite his...
