From a woman's perspective, leave James Bond alone. I don't want to watch a woman trying to prove she is as good as Bond. I would like to watch a woman proving she is a good spy. Having them team up later, each with their own skills, would be great.

I agree completely. I thought it was a joke when I heard it on here.

No one has confidence in us yet. Beat BYU, and the UF line will probably change a bit. But Vegas is looking for folks to bet on it.

Some of it is certainly on us, but I think BYU has built some bit of hype with their bowl blowout and emergence of a stud QB.

Ok I’ll give up the BYU line

It’s currently -3.

Hell that means
Vegas sees this game as even. I’m

Just curious where you found it. I can't find any lines online beyond Ga St.

Thanks

-3 is pretty tempting.

I don't think guys are being emasculated so much as masculinity is being expanded. It used to be a very narrow concept defined by post-WWII notions about how men and women should behave, think, and even relax (some good and some very, very bad) whereas now things are far less strict. Some of it can be odd but overall I think it's a good thing that men can do things like order something other than budweiser to drink or stay home with a sick kid without having their masculinity challenged.

There's a difference in sexist and masculine. Assigning a gender role to being with a sick child is sexist, imo.

But the literall US definition of masculine includes the synonym of rugged. Assume we can agree that certain levels of primping and "manscaping" are the direct opposite of rugged.

I dont think men have to be masculine, it's mostly choice. You can be a man without being masculine but the term means what it means. Just pointing out the irony in demasculization given today's setting.

That is disappointing. I don't think a female 007 will go over very well.

That's ultimately on the audience. If people can act like adults and be open, I think they will survive. Or whine and troll like they increasingly do these days, who knows.

Well, if I remember correctly people were not happy when they chose Daniel Craig. I for one wasn't happy but ended up loving him. I guess it is a wait and see.

Female 007, yes. Won't be Bond, but will replace him.

I doubt we can say for sure that she is replacing Bond permanently. Daniel Craig is done after this one, I'd say (he didn't even want to do this one), but every time a Bond actor moves on they always more or less reboot with the next actor, different take and all.

I don't know how this movie resolves although it would seem like it would have to end with her still as 007 if Craig's out. If her character is well-received, they'll make more with her as 007, I'm sure. But I can't imagine they'll go too long resisting the urge to bring Bond back in another reboot (Elba please!!), presumably in a separate "universe".

I don’t necessarily blame UF players for not thinking Tennessee is a rivalry.

Tennessee has won 1 game against Florida since most of the players were in early elementary school.

We have to do our part and we haven’t
