    That story about Ravens wanting to trade up to #4 though for Zeke makes more sense why Cowboys took him there, though.

    RB in top 5, redshirt in Rd 2 (who might not ever play again). #JustJerrahThings Fuck me though on Cravens, seemed like every guy I liked came off the board before we picked. Robinson, Reed, Martin. Supposedly Skins see him as a Dime LB. Not sure if I like burning a 2nd on a 3rd down...

    This was my thought. Not that Apple isn't good or anything, but just seemed strange to pass on Hargreaves. Got snatched up really quickly after, too.

    Don't love taking a receiver at 21, but still some great D line on the board. Should be able to get one in Rd 2. Doctson seems to fit GMSM's mold too, and with Garcon and Jackson probably both gone after this next year, not a bad thing to let him learn for a year and take over going into...

    Enjoy Troy Brouwer, St. Louis. Although they got the Game 7 winner out of him (even if it took 3 chances at it), so I'm sure they're fine with the deal. They just might not get anything more. Oshie with 4 goals and 3 assists in 7 games so far this playoffs. Holy fuck though, the miscues...

    Only people overrating the Skins are some strange people in this thread. I'm sure no real Skins fans have forgotten the last time we went from a last place schedule to a first place one (hint: 3-13). 8-8 would be a very good season for us.

    I think it's clear the Eagles are the favorites in the NFC East. Likely for 10+ wins. Giants probably around 7 or 8. Skins and Cowboys fans hoping to hit 6 wins this year. It is known. If you're Convo.

    No, and it's a big change from how the NHL usually handles the Round 2 schedule. Still waiting to hear Caps/Pens schedule. Bieber being at Verizon Center Friday is messing a lot up. Could be a Yanni situation...heard rumors of back to back Sat and Sun night, or basic Thurs/Sat Games 1 and 2...

    He can tell Wentz about the pitfalls of being a high draft pick, ensuring he won't be a bust and the Eagles are on their way to the SB!

    It makes sense to do this for plot lines and characters that matter, which Dorne and Doran/Hotah clearly do not (in the show at least, although given what changes they are making based on knowing the end game, one could assume they likely amount to little in the book as well). For instance, the...

    Probably not to the same detail, but pretty sure most people knew why Oberyn was pissed...before and during the fight. People were pissed when he died (show watchers I mean), yet another in the long line of people that were set up to finally give the Lannister's their due.

    I guess I'm in the minority that liked the scene with Varys and Tyrion. Maybe the dialogue was a step down from some previous seasons, but the actors still carry the scene well enough that it really didn't matter. They got their point across just fine. I really do wonder what the end game is...

    Right, which is why from a pure show perspective, nothing wrong with it other than it being a very hasty plot they are shedding/changing. I get why book people might be annoyed, but they should have expected more big changes. I kind of got tired of all the "this guy is a badass" power level...

    I get book people being butthurt over Hotah, but Barristan at least mowed down ~10 guys before buying it. Hotah getting offed with a knife in the back from a 15 year old is not the same at all.

    Right, but training for what? Training for Nate at 170 is not at all the same as needing to cut to 145 to try to fight Aldo or Frankie (when we're talking about the scenario where one of those guys gets hurt)

    Feast or famine so far. Nailed Caps and Pens, Tampa needed only one line to beat Detroit, and Tavares (and some OT luck) carried the Isles. Nailed the Blues, but Kings got smoked. Stars took one extra game, and same could be true of Anaheim if they get it done in Game 7 (although Boudreau in...

    Shit, there doesn't need to be tinfoil on to expect bad reffing. That's pretty much the standard. Maybe I shouldn't say all around bad, just completely not consistent. It'll be both ways too, just like it was for us and the Flyers. Btw, laughable that it took 6 games of Schenn jumping into...

    Interesting to read how many people are saying we struggled against the Flyers, when in reality we dominated most of that series and it required a miracle in goal to extend it to 6. Flyers also much tougher Round 1 match up than the Rags with how each was playing in the 2nd half of the season...

    This gripe I can understand, the hour seemed to fly by. Might work better if they focused on only half the stories an episode so you'd get twice as much substance. Then just alternate which half of stories is getting a look every other episode. Sometimes feels like you're just getting fed...

    I'm annoyed they got such a well known actor to play such a token role (although obviously we all expected it to have more meat than this). But overall I didn't like the change to the Dorne story to begin with. If this speeds shit along, I'm all for it.
