    I forget which season it was, but I believe it was in the books as well at one point when he was still in King's Landing where Cersei was virtually on the edge of just ordering him being murdered. She at least threatened him, and it pretty much showed that he still wasn't completely on top of...

    I really hope Cousins steps up this year and lights it up. I'm hoping he does something similar to last year but I think the potential is there to really light it up.

    If they manage to do it down the guys they are that is just sick. Their young guys just keep getting it done. Can't be anything but impressed. I'll be honest though, I think the West is going to win it. Blues/Sharks is like dream West for me.

    The Gronk of FoH NFL jokes you mean? But serious discussion away from the NFC East. AFC South and AFC West, who you got? I think the Colts have blown Luck's cheap years, and now will cede control of the division to Houston, and potentially the Jags (not so much this year perhaps, but if...

    Don't feel as bad for Holtby. He had his share in this loss. Honestly the only Caps I feel really bad for are Ovechkin, Oshie, and Carlson. They did their part. Good luck going forward. Which just means, your team is good, but I hope Tampa kicks the shit out of you.

    That high stick was as brutal as it comes. I know we ended up coming back and tying it, thanks in part to something I've never seen before (the 3 straight DOG), but that play really put us behind the 8 ball. Alzner being too hurt to continue was probably the biggest loss. In the end though...

    I'll say 8-8 for Skins this year would be a good season. I'll wait till we get out of training camp to see if there are any injuries before making my rock solid prediction. Hell my thoughts last year were somewhere between 6-10 and 8-8, but after Week 2 when Romo went down and the Giants had...

    I think 12+ is possible for Romo. It's a bit of bad luck to land just wrong on the collarbone to break it. And really, not many NFL teams are any more than 1 deep at QB. If the Giants lost Eli I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have shown much last year either. I would definitely believe he has a...

    As a Skins fan, I still have to say the Cowboys probably have to be ranked the favorites to win our division IF they can get 12+ games out of Romo.

    Vex pretty much covered my thoughts, but we can't forget that Sam knows about Bran, and while we all assumed Bran was destined for life as a treeman, we've already heard that he's not going to stay there forever. No idea if that means he'll return to Winterfell or what. Obviously we'll have to...

    Does anyone really care all that much about Rickon though? The North seems to be forgetting their loyalty to the Starks pretty quickly unless Rickon and Osha are some sort of plant. Could potentially just mean Rickon isn't central to the story at all in the books and HBO is taking this...

    Good looking out. Been awhile since I read the books but I swore no one ever really said he won 1 on 1. Seemed more the story was always "it took 7 guys to overcome the 3, and only 2 of us made it out alive". Show definitely did a good job showing how much of a badass Dayne was, even if he...

    Talking about the high stick call in the 3rd? He took 2 to the face in the sequence, they completely ignored the first, and the linesman had to alert the ref to the 2nd one when Bonino took a two handed chop that caught him.

    Given that the game is in London, not sure what to expect from that. If it was stateside, I would definitely not expect us to beat the Bengals, but I'd expect it to not be a blowout.

    The Triplets have really stepped up big time, and Hedman has carried the load. I wasn't completely surprised they got past Detroit, although I expected a longer series either way. The Isles I thought might have had a shot, but the way you all have shut down Tavares has been impressive.
