    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Could really care less about the Brady appeal. Even at 4 games, I still expect Pats to win that division and be in play for contender status. It'll likely get reduced, because reasons...mostly because it's silly as fuck to begin with. OTA's are a weird time of year, get trickles of info, but...

    2015 Blackhawks Salary Dump NHL Offseason Thread

    Cap going to $71.4M apparently. Sharp being actively shopped by Blackhawks, expect even more moves from them. Toronto saying they're willing to take on a little salary back in any move for Kessel, but nothing close to his dollars/term. Will Price win Hart and Vezina, etc, etc, etc.

    Thought first episode was very good, people forget that it's going to take longer to flesh out the characters when there are 4 versus 2. Also Season 1 kind of bounced back and forth from flashback to their original investigation to the present when the other two cops were interviewing them...

    Reading the stuff that is coming out seems more and more like if they do bring Jon back, it'll be under the idea that "Jon Snow" is dead, but Jon will be back once the big reveal of his parentage is solved.

    I don't think anyone was really trying to equate Kimmo's going out a Cup winner to Borque's legendary run with the Avs, simply noting he's another guy who had a really solid career and got close a couple times but finally goes out a winner. Regardless of the how much or little he played it's...

    This is true of course, but it's not like Chicago hasn't had to move a good portion of their team because of cap issues. After their 1st Cup of this little run they had to move quite a few guys out, and still retooled to come back and win 2 more. Funny how Hossa lost in 2 straight Finals...

    Cersei's story is one of the plots that isn't completely caught up to the books yet, and you kind of need her going full on burn everything mode and Kevan coming back to help restore order before his death will even mean something...so yeah still possible we could see that all play out next season.

    He was big as fuck and looked like undead Gregor. Personally I could give a fuck if every detail is exactly how nerds imagined it, he fit the bill...just give us Cleganebowl.

    Kings have had a great run last couple of years before this one, but Chicago has truly taken over the crown from the Red Wings at this point as the franchise to emulate. Tampa is going to be scary with virtually all of their team intact as well. Pretty great season, now the long fucking wait...

    I feel like I'm going a little crazy, definitely did not seem like a suicide. Seemed like Theon intentionally found a corner spot on the outer wall where he knew a snow drift would be to possibly allow them to live through the jump. Even when they looked down, snow looked to be slightly piled...

    I think I'll be fairly rustled if Jon is really dead for good. If he is, I'm rooting for Jaime to somehow end up champion against Night King.

    Scary thing is Chicago is doing this playing really only 4.5 D men. They're one of only 2 teams in the playoffs (Calgary is the other) to only have 5 D men averaging more than 10 minutes of ice time a game. Keith is a goddamn freak of nature.

    Well...ready to dive into another one. Although sounds like McAdams might be showing plenty of skin this season by the sound of her character. I thought it strange this review went out of the way to mention all the main stars except Taylor Kitsch...guess he's forgettable or not as visible in...

    Just pondering on the whole...contenders to the title and all, but doesn't it seem like the show makes Littefinger seem vastly superior to Varys in his moves? Varys seems like he's done nothing much worth anything of late. In the books it made more sense for him to be the silent hand behind...

    I don't know why people think it's just going to be only him doing the stabbing. He even noted to Sam that everyone else looking at the wildlings walking through Castle Black would "never forget his actions, either"

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That would be quite a big change. How would Jon be rezzed in the show then? Also Stannis burning Shireen for his campaign makes sense for his character (much as Mannis fans will be butthurt by that fact).

    At first, she was seemingly trying to rationalize it to Stannis with her mutterings about it being "a good thing", but she cracked hard when she started screaming. Good lord the whining over this will be epic.

    What is this crying? Perhaps Stannis is heading down that path of the crazed would be ruler in the books (and frankly, there is evidence of it), who believes so much in his own right to rule and in his "destiny" that he'll do anything. This just shows, graphically, how far he's willing to go...

    My guess is they were trying to sit on the lead a bit/Chicago finally started to push back. At one point a little after Tampa went up 1-0 in the 1st shot attempts were 23-5 in Tampa's favor. Chicago going to Chicago though, always getting the clutch plays.

    Well guess that lists Episode 3, but either way as long as anyone watching the show has paid attention to Qyburn they should know what's up.

    Agreed, as if his whole last line to Cersei about "the work continues" wasn't heavy foreshadowing enough for show watchers. Not a stretch at all.

    They might have referred to him as that once? I can't remember if it was during the tourney where he fought the Mountain. This was back when Sansa wanted to marry Joffery but still got her teen panties all wet at the sight of Loras.

    He's not really a great actor on the show either...the best I think I saw from him was during his interrogation with the High Sparrow.

    On the show Brienne beats him to become a member of Renly's Kingsguard as well. In the books I believe he is sent to siege Dragonstone and gets burned/disfigured(?) from hot oil being poured all on him or some shit like that.

    Wasn't that a fairly even fight for a bit, and wasn't that guy basically the top assassin in King's Landing before getting sent to the Night's Watch? Selmy lost to some guys in gold masks, Podrick killed a Kingsguard. Bronn goes from random sellsword in the books who beat a Knight of the...

    Point Break Remake (2015)

    This. The only bright side I see is Delroy Lindo coming in protecting the franchise (his own) as normal, being the badass guy in charge. But preview looked like a total shit show. Who are they going to have to replicate Busey's role? Sad thing is I'll still end up seeing it.
