    Yeah, Fight Club. Kind of a let down, but I'll reserve judgment until the season finale is done. Still great TV.

    There should be enough criticism of this season that they reign his ass in (hopefully more than a little) and not let it be his total playground. It was still successful, still enjoyable (if you're not dumb as fuck or married to your bias against Vince Vaughn) even this season. It just clearly...

    I don't think there should be any real "legal interference". Using obstruction to blunt a team's forecheck should be a penalty in my mind.

    Oh come on, it might be less true now, but Babcock's Wings (especially with Lidstrom) were pretty well known for it. I remember a hilarious photoshop Pensblog did during either the '08 or '09 Finals with Babcock's face on the Emperor's body with the quote "I'm afraid that the interference...

    Definitely, and it's been a large dropoff. I'm all for stuff getting called tighter in the playoffs, but when you look at some of the series this past year the lack of penalty calls was unreal. Just in the 1st round the Caps/Isles series when compared to the Rags/Pens the disparity was huge...

    The fact that Recchi played that much longer blows my mind. That's nuts. They also had a young Ryan Malone on that team that potted 22 goals. Long in the tooth or not, Recchi and LeClair potted 20+ goals, and Palffy had 11 in only 42 games. I'll grant Lemieux didn't play that many games, but...

    The standings show something. That both teams performed terribly. You basically point out that the Caps did a complete firesale right before Ovechkin was drafted. As for the talent surrounding them, well... Crosby played with: Lemieux, Recchi, Leclair, Gonchar and Palffy (not to mention...

    This. I mean season hasn't even started yet for the players so nothing all that important seems to happen every episode. Feels like Vernon has been waiting to sign with Dallas for like 8 episodes now...but you don't care, because the show is entertaining.

    This is true. Damn I went Astro. I did think they knew something was up when discussing his exit plans though, but good point. Fucked up for them to turn on him considering he tossed them an extra half mil, didn't he?

    Only weird thing is, if they did sell him out, why didn't the Mexicans grab the diamonds then? When he jumps the guy who wanted the suit they just stab him and strand him to die. I think there is a good chance they did sell him out, just weird they didn't nab the gems too. Mexicans could...

    I felt like they just wanted to bring back the ex to have some challenge to Rachel/Mike. They need to find a way to completely put the Havard thing to bed. The whole "Team Litt" shit is going over the top. Every other episode it's like him and Harvey finally have a breakthrough, only for a...

    Wasn't the excuse that he always destroys his old phone when he gets a new one? Not saying that a lot of people don't do that (I know plenty that do), but that's pretty much just his word v. bad timing.

    I'm a Skins fan man, the only thing that has me on the fence is that Cousins would seem likely to throw 3 picks in any game he enters, while McCoy might end up with 3 new concussions.

    Shit man, finger in the face? He better have been calling his mother something. Over $600 you probably could just go public with to the rest of the team and they'd pressure Geno to make it right, I can't imagine it's worth taking a shot at the starting QB and losing your job...possibly your...

    I mean, you would think Geno Smith could come up with $600 pretty easily, but no reason shit should have to end in punching the starting QB.

    They never really did clarify this, although they left hints for the viewer to assume this. That said, obviously the Mexicans would be looking for Frank anyways, and if he wasn't going to just run, it's pretty easy to know who he would be after. Russian boss totally undermines his crew and...

    I could see them wanting to humiliate him a little before they were going to kill him (if that was what was going to happen, they did get $1 million out of him), but either way Frank wasn't going to give up the suit with the diamonds in it willingly.

    I feel like we could make a list of teams who it wouldn't be that big of a tragedy for if their starting QB got sucker punched. It makes me sad if I'm not sure if my team would be on the list.

    I doubt Smith would sue him or whatever, and would he likely face a suspension if another team wanted to roll the dice and pick him up? Also...how likely you think nothing else happens is because it's Geno Smith. What if this had been Brady or Manning that got punched? Can you imagine how...
