    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Surprised no one mentioned Kolb's quote about joining the Bills. "I'm here to win a Super Bowl." Although it is almost just too sad to really talk about.

    I assume there is more to his story, but as McC notes, perhaps he just feels the Targs are the rightful rulers. I completely understand your point about the commoners though, as much of a dick as Tywin is, he IS a leader who gets shit done. Some people even loved him to the point they wished...

    He can if the entire point IS for it to go to shit under Cersei because it'll allow the Targs to come back and take over more easily. Tywin or Kevan being around wouldn't leave the 7 Kingdoms destabilized enough to ensure that could happen.

    I know, I know...the spread is 6 points right now. I don't think we're nearly as good as the other top teams in the East this year, but I do think if we had a real training camp and preseason for Oates to install his system instead of the bullshit 1 week we got we wouldn't have started so slow...

    If they go 9 points better over the final 9 games than we do, I have doubts we'd end up the 3 seed. But your point is noted Grimm...of course we are 8-1-1 in our last 10. If he had a regular season with an actual training camp and preseason I feel we'd be a much better team from the start. Is...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    It's interesting looking back at the hits and misses at wideout in the 1st round. Looking through the draft I guess you're sort of right although it varies from year to year a lot more now it seems like. In the last 8 years ('05-'12) you had 2 or less WR taken in the 1st round 3 times, but to...

    We could just make it easy and say when Dez is playing well and engaged, he has the potential to be a top 5 WR in the league.

    Winnipeg has a pretty easy schedule down the stretch, although Buffalo twice might not be as easy as it sounds they've been playing better of late I think. If Caps do make it in, going to be tough to stack up against any of the other playoff teams if we don't stop having a forward go down every...

    Didn't like how by the end of the fight Brienne was just shitting on Jaime. I don't recall exactly how it was written in the book but I remember Brienne's thoughts after the fact being how tough Jaime was even in irons and having been half starved from captivity for however long. I never...

    After the hole they dug themselves early, I wasn't expecting playoffs at all, thought we should tank for a draft pick. But Florida kept winning and teams ahead of us kept losing, it kept options open. Really I just wanted to see Oates use the rest of the season to implement his system and have...

    And just like that...Ovechkin tied for league lead in goals. Pretty much down to just us and Winnipeg for the Southeast at this point. Not sure which asshole on the Tampa bench put his stick over wall to try to stop Ovechkin from the game sealing goal but something should happen to that guy...

    I'm right where you are with Ovechkin with regards to Crosby. Ovechkin still isn't where he was, but Oates has helped him make some changes to his game (and the move to right wing has helps, as has the new power play). There's still some underlying stuff that makes me wonder if it's...

    Ovechkin with another hat trick. Good thing since we put it on cruise control the entire 3rd period and a 4-0 game ended up a 4-3 win. Whatever though, feast on our shitty division. Crazy that after Ovechkin's really slow first 10 games, he's got 21 goals in his last 28 games, or an 82 game...

    Caps 1st in the Southeast. Winnipeg and Carolina keep nosediving, as expected. Pretty pathetic we're leading our division with a point total that's worse than teams in 8th in the conference.

    Shots weren't the full measure of that game...guys throwing a lot of shots from the outside at Holtby isn't scary at all. We only ended up with 19 shots on net (of course that ignores all the pipes we hit), but the amount of golden chances off odd many rushes we generated was pretty good. That...

    Of course Dumervil basically fell into their laps, giving them the 1-2 punch on the pass rush with Suggs. The draft hasn't even happened yet...they could really nail it and still have a 10-6 year to get into the playoffs very easily. I do think they might have a bit of a down year as far as...

    Pens make another deal, Jussi Jokinen. Conditional pick, Carolina taking on some of his salary too apparently. Shero must have incriminating picks on half the GM's in the league.

    Yeah that's true, look at all the guys who have already moved there really isn't much left over. Does sound like a lot of fringe playoff teams are looking to add a piece or two though. Everyone thinks they're still in it (my team included).

    Carolina and Winnipeg are almost always shit, save for every 4 seasons or so when Carolina makes a deep playoff run. Tampa thought they were hot shit, but aside from old man Roloson getting hot one year St. Louis and Stamkos can't carry them by themselves. Florida turned the loser point into...

    Grimm, the Pens do get the benefit of the doubt more than almost any other team. Yes, I did single out Cooke, because his rep goes well beyond his time in Pittsburgh, and it's been such a public thing even among his own team (hell just look at the Karlsson incident). I take offense to...
