    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Not sure why people were expecting more just yet. Not much "action" per se, but by end of Season 6 was really a large reset for all the major players. Starks back in Winerfell, Dany FINALLY sailing to Westeros, Cersei left standing in KL. Had to take one episode to set the stage. Cersei +...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Source: Cousins open to deal after the season Might lend credit to the rumors he wants to see how the front office works out.

    It might have been funnier coming from someone else. The idea that Durant got carried to a title coming from a guy who's career ending ring he actually got carried by Denver's D...yeah. Durant should have asked Peyton if he won MVP too that year.

    Probably for getting named like #26 best RB of all time after a rookie season barely better than Alfred Morris'.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Watching the red zone efficiency and the running game was slightly less fun...but I expect both to improve this year. I'm find with him getting the temporary title of highest paid (because really, that number is going to keep going up as any of the top 15 come up for new deals). Rodgers' next...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Trust me, there's all sorts of rumors that former GMSM wanted to sign him to a deal somewhere in the 3-5 year range which would have been a lot cheaper. There's other rumors that Cousins might not want to sign with us right now b/c he wants to see how the new front office functions for a year...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    People keep pointing out we lost two 1,000 yard receivers (first time ever in free agency for a team), but we added one in Pryor, our first round pick from last year is healthy this year (Docton), and still have Jordan Reed and Crowder (who had 850 yards as 4th option behind...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I think Cousins has benefited from his situation quite a bit. Still think he's top half of the league as a starter, but I don't think he's shown he's a top 10 guy yet. For all our problems, Skins O line is very good, especially in pass protection, and he's had great weapons to throw to...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Supposedly the last offer we had for him was for $20M a year over 5 or 6 years...but I think the total guaranteed money was only 40-50m. Cousins' camp wants the per year to be around at least what he's making on the tag this year ($23.9m if I'm not mistaken). I hope they just pony up in these...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    All the "best ever" by position lists on nfl.com are getting a lot of commentary from current and former players. Was tipped off on them by friend who was bitter about Ed Reed being ranked 4th best safety ever, and Ray Lewis being ranked 8th best LB (Ravens fan).

    I get the hate on Ultron, for whatever reason I expected James Spader to do better with the character and be more...menacing? It just didn't come across that way to me, for whatever reason. Also AV1 was just so good it was hard to top. Agreed on the CW hate though. The interactions were...

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    SM2 opinions may vary, but I think a lot of why it gets really high marks is that everyone pretty much liked/loved SM1, and unlike many of the sequels (not just in Marvel-verse but movies in general) it actually was an improvement over the first movie. This is why Winter Soldier, and Civil War...

    Actually...Snyder is the only reason there are ANY positive feelings about reaching a long term deal. He personally reached out to Cousins and his camp to say they wanted him here, etc. All sorts of rumors about where the sides are apart on for the contract, from being 3-5 million a year off...

    Robb got killed b/c he fell in love and betrayed his pledge. Everything else sorta lines up...although didn't Karstark want to murder them simply b/c Robb wouldn't let him kill Jaime (not just about letting Jaime go, just keeping him alive in general)? I figure if Jaime was killed Sansa...

    Going to have to say wait and see on releasing Jaime and having Brienne escort him back to KL. That's pretty much the entire source of Jaime's honorable streak, his interactions with Brienne. Brienne DID actually find and save Sansa when she was running with Theon. In a convoluted way...

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    I'll agree the villain wasn't anything special, but the entire story wasn't about beating a villain, it was about Civil War. I'm not convinced it was better than Avengers 1, but it was superior to GotG for me, superior to Cap2 (just barely, b/c Cap2 was also fantastic) and at least equal or...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Being too lazy to look it up myself, but I thought for part of the deal he had a limited NTC (list of 10-15 teams he could pick to not be traded to) but at some point I think a full NTC kicks/ed in? Not positive but I expect he'll be here rest of his deal unless he falls off dramatically.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Gotta remember, Ovechkin is only signed for the next 4 seasons (including this one). Backstrom only the next 3 including this one. Kuznetsov won't even be 30 yet when both of those deals run out. I don't think it signifies early exits at all for 8 or 19, even if they sign here again, by that...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    At this point I'd say Kuznetsov is a franchise player for the Caps. Backstrom and Ovechkin probably just as important offensively the next couple years, but before the end of the contract I expect Kuznetsov to be the #1 center and best player on the team. As for Shattenkirk, sounds a lot like...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    When you say no room for Shatt to do his thing...he literally was playing right between the two you mentioned, Backstrom on the half wall, and Ovechkin over by the right circle. Pretty sure Shattenkirk put up a lot of PP points in short time with us. I just think he wants a bigger role at...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    I think the term is better than the dollars to be honest. He didn't show me enough in his time here to trust him with as big a role as I think he thinks he should get. Meanwhile we gave too much term and money to Oshie, and maybe even Kuznetsov. Love locking Kuzy up for 8 years, was hoping he...

    Fucking GMGM picked Schmidt in the expansion draft. Could have lived losing Grubauer since he was never going to start here with Holtby. Schmidt was a solid guy on the back end who was cheap. Meanwhile Pens get out of Fleury's contract. Didn't see what other "big" contracts Vegas is taking...

    Maybe it's because I came into HW later (either just before or just after 3.3), but I felt Stormblood's story was superior. I loved all the dragon history, and the war between them and Ishgard, but with how epic the end of ARR was, felt like they pinned themselves in a corner with HW's story...

    The movie I want to see Winter Soldier in next is the obvious Buddy Cop film with Falcon that they built up throughout Civil War. Regarding Black Panther though, this going to be part origin story I assume, followed by picking up where the character left off after CW?

    With Game 6 back in Cleveland I'd put it more likely than not. Then again, so far the only win they have in the series is when Lebron's teammates shoot 57% from 3 and break the Finals record for 3's. So who knows.
