    Guy definitely has a great personality. Doesn't seem to be letting his 15 minutes go to his head, either, just enjoying it honestly.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    The episode info has been out for years at this point, if you're anyone who had any interest in this game and didn't watch the E3 demonstration where they confirm it as well, I have zero sympathy. Are there really going to be some mouth-breathers out there who buy this completely unaware of all...

    She did basically "out smart" Fear, but I don't know if that really made the overall tone not dark. Maybe I'm a pessimist or something but only thing I thought of even after she "wins" is that out of who knows how many of that species that went under "hibernation" like 2 lived? Bang up job by...

    I won't care about it as much as VII, but if they can do it justice, fuck yeah. Plenty of stuff they could change plot wise in WoR to improve it, too.

    There was that whole talk about conspiracy that extended beyond the Zhat Vash and the Tal Shiar and into Star Fleet. Clearly she's one of the converted.

    You go over to blueshirtbanter and they are quite pleased getting a 1st. Obviously term helps, it also was a pretty busy day even with all the other trades this week, everyone in the East and Metro is loading up. Gotta pay a premium.

    Heard today his hand size was measured at only 9 inches, the smallest for any assumed 1st round QB since 2008 (and, I'm sure, a disappointment to his Cheesecake Factory hook ups)

    welp, 6 year extension for Pageau with Isles. Price is a little less bad now that he isn't just a rental, although have to see what the deal looks like.

    I think they gave up way too much for Pageau, although obviously the tack on "if they win the Cup" conditional pick they wouldn't care about if that actually happened. But a 1st and a 2nd seems crazy to me.

    Loving the Dillon and Kovy additions. Still need to actually dig ourselves out of our funk, though. Kreider deal getting done is big. Potentially Parise to Isles would be weird.

    Ironically Kovy had better defensive numbers than I thought. Not that I think a lot of the problem has been with the forwards (or at least not the bottom 6 forwards where I assume he'll play). Seen some rumors that Panik will move down to the 4th line. Makes sense.

    This is actually a great point, although since Picard got his own holosuite program for the trip of his home on Earth, could easily see a hand waving of all the passengers being granted basic command privs or whatever.

    Although @Ishad , I do wonder about both our trades requiring the trading teams to have retained the maximum possible salary (50%) each time. Maybe there is another move coming.

    I'm going to be honest. Moving Jensen out for the corpse of Mike Green would be a bad move, imo. We need to get better defensively, Mike Green does not do that.

    Nope.. We just got Kovalchuk from the Habs for a 3rd. They're retaining 50% salary (he's taking up salary cap space on 4 teams now)

    I don't really remember it all that bright and shiny. Especially not with 7 at times. Hell even shit like the Fear manifested clown episode with the people in suspended animation or whatever. Literal lopping of heads off that killed them because they were scared to death.

    I was out had to listen to 2nd period on radio, finally got home to watch the 3rd. Started crashing the net and getting chances down low. Well, Wilson created a turnover that led to this breakaway 4 on 4 for a pretty finish (his 20th goal of the year, no less, also set a career high in points...

    Funny thing is he probably was saying it in a hopeful way like he felt those guys were capable of doing it just had to put it together. I can't get enough of the emergency goalie story, though. Only in hockey. Just awesome (well, not for Toronto, but just in general).

    Kempny needs to sit. Feel bad for Samsonov his stats won't show it, but thought he played pretty well today (seems we say that about our goalies too much lately).

    Yeah most of the speculation I heard was Sept/Oct or Oct/Nov. 6 months from now is August still. But reading between the lines the speculation seems to be more like ~8 months.

    League and the media need to figure out why anyone should care about Deadline Day. All the trades already happening. Kreider might be the only thing left for it, and might not have anywhere to go if teams keep making moves.

    I'm sure Ovechkin cares more about wins, it's the media that wants to push it so hard. Frankly he should just go score another hat trick to get it over with quick.

    I would assume the owners are just offering a straight up increase to the cap relative to overall revenue. Sources: 14 playoff teams likely in new NFL CBA Okay, I had that wrong it isn't just a 0.5% increase. Also apparently playoff teams on bye weren't getting paid for the bye week, but...

    But overall salaries would increase because owners are offering a bigger percentage of the overall pie if players agree to a 17th game. I saw some numbers like player share going from 48% to 48.5%. 0.5% seems small, but I read it amounted to $5 billion. Obviously that's spread among all NFL...

    I'm pretty sure the 17th regular season game essentially comes with there only being 3 preseason games (so removing one).
