    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    Sorry, yes the majority of money is being bet on Floyd (biggest bet was north of 800k), but due to odds the books in Vegas will be taking substantial loss overall if Conor somehow were to win.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Going to be competing with the Jets for that. I think Jacksonville is thinking they can get by with the better of the two (and honesty, that team has a lot of talent, they should only require decent QB play to flirt with 8-8).

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Haha speaking of the want to win thing, stuff out there about Jets potential tank job. But again, I think there are several teams that probably think he could lead to increased wins this year, but if you have a young guy you're grooming, you might not want to bring in a guy who could be a...

    Niners fans know it's going to be a few years anyways. Kaep is better than Hoyer too haha. But I'm sure Kaep and Gabbert both are happy as hell to be out of San Fran (even if I think they killed it in 1st round of the draft this year). As others have noted, Kaepernick being a potential...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Didn't get to see a lot of his games, but did watch some. Always seemed to be playing better than the results. His receiver play was unreal bad (although given who they were fielding, that's not too surprising), and his D blew something like 3 double digit leads in game he was in I believe...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I think the SJW fear is overblown. Last year wasn't an aberration like he was on a team that was helping his numbers. His team was terrible. Worst defense in the league, terrible receivers. Also a lot of the narrative about what he can and can't do as a passer is based on old assumptions...

    well, I think only Trent really went full vegan. Like I said, he only did it for a month too, he's back to eating some other stuff now. Just something they were experimenting with.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Brady isn't a vegan, but his diet is extremely strict from what I recall hearing lately. Trent Williams on the Skins just went full vegan for a month, and was discussing it with rest of our O line. I think he's going to continue some form of hybrid diet trying to stick to certain parts of a...

    And here I thought the vegan or similar diet plans were all the rage among guys to extend their careers. Also last I heard, he was going to stand for the anthem this year. As for the hipster part...well you gotta take some bad with the good I guess.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This all assumes Dany has absolutely zero interest in actually seeing for herself whether everything Jon had been saying could be real. Which makes less sense than anything else. Of course there's a part of her that's going to want to go (not to mention the heavy foreshadowing of her and Jon...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I think it's less about race (although it does play a part in why so many people cry so much about the protest) and just whiny fans making waves that owners don't want to deal with. Cutler's deal shouldn't be used as a comparison to Kaepernick's, as Cutler was a guy done with football, whereas...

    United and City with fairly easy Champions League group draws. Real Madrid in worst group imo with Dortmund and Tottenham. Liverpool's group a little tougher than United or City, but still doable for them to advance, I believe. Chelsea have a tougher group as well with Atletico Madrid and...

    I'll have to disagree with the "pithy discussion" while trudging up a hill. I figure that's exactly how it would all go, especially given how many of them hadn't been around one another before. That was really the best part of the episode, all the spectacle aside.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Cousins will actually likely get more than that if he has another season like the last 2. But a season like that would mean once again being a top 10 guy stat wise...which Kaepernick isn't that. Also Glennon's deal is for 3 years and $45 million, and the way it works out it's more like a 1...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I remember hearing both that he wanted starter money and that he was willing to accept backup money. $20M is a bit much, that's like top 15 money and he's not getting that even without the protest stuff. $15M or less sounds reasonable. I'll put it like this, no way I'd take him over Cousins...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    As a starter you run into a few things. Outside of the top 10 guys, depending on the year, guys 11-25 can be sorta interchangeable at times...except in experience in their system, skillset fitting system, etc. So really any team with one of those guys would be weighing a marginal upgrade at...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    As a starter? I'd imagine some Jets fans for sure. If we're talking this year I'd bet he'd be a better option than what Browns/Bears have (jury out on their young guys in the future of course). We'll see how Houston does with Watson...cause if it's Savage starting, Kaep is superior to him as...

    Solid win, not that I think it was ever in doubt, but put them to the sword early. Group draws going to be real interesting.

    It's hilarious because the Browns themselves only took him and his contract because Houston threw in a 2nd round pick.

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    Right, but the 6.8 is the only time he's ever been below 7, so might have just been a down year. Not saying he's a world beater, just that we could have been noting an outlier year in that it's his lowest ever and only one ever under 7.

    Yeah not like the NFC Beast was the toughest division in football last year or anything. Preseason is preseason. I'll reserve judgement until regular season starts.

    Maybe Bran using it to look in on things, no idea. If it's camera lighting, it's pretty crazy.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Disagree. If you slow it down and play it in slow motion, clearly see it opening. Camera moves up and focuses on Jon then, but after he emerges more from the water it pans back down again and eye is in focus once more fully open. If this is completely coincidental, it's pretty crazy.

    I think it's funny how many people prior to the episode were complaining about the group going north instead of just sending one of the dragons to snatch one up in their claws. I'm sure that plan would have went well seeing the result of sending dragons up there now.

    Not as much whinging as I expected for this episode. Watching replay and Tormund just killing it "Moving is good, fighting is better, fucking is best..." Jon like "there isn't a woman within a hundred miles of us" Tormund "You have to make do with what you have"

    This. Even shit like Jorah telling Thoros he thought he was the bravest man he ever saw, and having Thoros just reveal he was so fucking drunk he didn't even remember it. Beric and Jon talk. Starting to think Beric plays bigger part in the end game than I did before.

    I'll say this too, Hound quotes were golden all episode, but he was fucking stupid throwing rocks. Also have the cryers calculated whether raven to Dragonstone and Dany on dragon back could get to ice lake in 2 days (well at least 2 days based on the scenes they did show them trapped on the lake)?
