    That goal at the end of the 1st could have been a momentum builder, but they let the B's regain the 3 goal lead not even 30 seconds later. I'll never doubt their ability to come back in a series with the players they have, but assuming no miracle 3rd, going to be tough needing to win at least 2...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The thing is, Robb's army was never going to have a chance to completely win, because once there was time to deal with Stannis, Tywin could pull back to KL and force Robb to make all the moves. Also something else I'm remembering about why he needed the Freys, can't forget the Iron Islands...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The war for the Iron Throne is still going on. You still have Stannis brooding and plotting with Melisandre, and Dany building her army to retake what she considers her throne. I guess you could argue Dany is far away and Stannis has already been defeated once, but neither are out of the picture.

    If the B's get out of this period still up 4-1, it's Code Red time for the Pens.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm arguing she did make some stupid decisions, but she was clearly manipulated into some of them by Littlefinger (with an assist from her own sister as well). If we're going back to Ned, somehow I don't think he says no to Bobby B asking him no matter what...too much honor. Going back even...

    That is a good point, although from the books, I got the impression having something to gain wasn't the only reason for the Freys and the Boltons betraying the Starks. Walder was incensed at the slight to his family when Robb broke his oath, and Roose...well, Bolton gonna Bolton it felt like...

    Although Tuco...it was the Lannister (or at least, Jaime) who tried to kill Bran at first, so capturing a Lannister wasn't completely without merit, she just had the wrong man, because Littlefinger manipulated her into believing he sent the assassin to finish the job. Whether she fucked up with...

    Wow. That was about 2 extra passes that usually never works but did. Fleury has to get tapped on the shoulder here at some point right? Bylsma on the hot seat.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I've seen some extremely strange combinations of team stickers on cars between DC and Baltimore. Strange collections of DC/Baltimore/Pitt/Philly teams that make no logical sense to be together on one person's vehicle. Last weekend I saw a truck in a parking lot with Orioles/Steelers/Capitals...

    I'm pretty sure watching a Sid turnover turn into an early goal the other way is almost as good as the rustling over GoT last night.

    After watching how they ended her, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed her just so she could be pregnant and get stabbed in a womb a bunch.

    I would have liked Grey Wind to kill some guys at least. They certainly had time last night, the episode was done and over with 7 minutes shy of 10pm on my clock.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    One thing I really hate about the leeches scene with Melisandre is not only did it sort of make people worried for Rob (although I guess there were other reasons to be worried about him too), but now everyone expects Balon and Joffery to die as well. In Balon's case, I doubt anyone really gives...

    Grey Wind got completely hosed. You never have them order that the direwolf isn't allowed inside, doesn't go all badass during the fighting...granted it might have given it away, but still. The Cat stuff I thought they did as well as they could (without having her claw her own face off). She...

    I think Arya still comes across pretty badass. Her basically telling the Hound she was going to fucking kill him at some point and him not just laughing it off was a very subtle way of giving the threat the weight it deserved. Jaime's character I think suffers the most from the lack of screen...

    Oh I don't doubt it is him, I just wasn't sure if somewhere in the books that I had forgotten about it 100% confirmed it was him. I fully expect Sandor to play a pivotal role in eventually ending Un-Gregor.

    I think most of them would have forgiven him leaving, it was the way it was done. "The Decision" was one of the worst ideas ever. Eviscerating your home team on national television like that is what rubbed many people the wrong way so badly. As others pointed out, with him there Cleveland was...

    I saw it as a way to sort of replace Cat clawing her own face to shreds, although I don't get the idea that her doing that would have been "too much" for HBO but stabbing a pregnant woman about 5 times in the stomach is okay.

    It would be great to see him climb back over the glass to go argue with the refs in the huddle until they agreed he did not in fact clip the boards/glass.

    There's...a bit of time in between the two shots where they're above the goal line in one, and below it in the other. Also this isn't a case of the defender already being right on the puck and turning his back, looks like he still has to go actually retrieve it. Makes it look like Cooke had...

    For not being completely perfect, it still conveyed everything it needed to. Agree on the womb stabbing, that shit was brutal. I can't imagine the face scratching would have been considered worse than what the womb stabbing looked like. Even expecting it I cringed a little there.
