    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The whole build up to the fight was great. The Hound, Beric, Thoros, Arya...all fantastic.

    I almost forgot...the fixation on Podrick Whore Slayer, hilarious to have even Varys asking "what did he do to them?"

    Question is how healthy will you be? You're still stacked but it could make it a more even serious. Lundy is bound to actually have a sick playoffs at some point in his career too. Callahan is heating up, the Rags seem to be getting it going at the right time. Don't get me wrong, I'd still...

    Absolutely fantastic episode. Dany gets a +5 from me after this one. The buildup for Hound v. Beric was fucking great too. Queen of Thorns continues to fucking own it. Even the shit beyond the Wall was good this episode. Some minor things...we still haven't seen Sam kill the Other/white...

    If they're not going to cut him for 2 years doesn't that automatically meet the requirement for the other pick being a 3rd in 2014? Jets getting back a 1st and a 3rd for Revis is a pretty good return in my opinion. There's no question when healthy he is a beast but who knows if he'll play more...

    No way I'm pulling hard for Pens/Rags 1st Round. Could be a great serious.

    I could buy him as a finalist too, especially considering how everyone wrote them off after Karlsson got hurt. Problem is in recent years everyone always points out that goalies have their own trophy and unless absolutely being the only reason their team did anything (see: insane numbers) they...

    I think they'll overlook his D zone issues given the storyline of the Isles going back to the playoffs and him leading them. I've just heard his name pop up a lot more when the discussion for the Hart has been going on the last couple weeks. No kidding about Dats though. Guy is a damn...

    Some writer I read recently made a good point...if you're going to dock Sid (and lets face it, if he were healthy there would be no debate about the Hart) for not being around for April, you kind of have to dock Ovechkin for being virtually absent (along with the rest of the Caps) for the first...

    Ladd has been good for Atlanta/Winnipeg too. Dude that team you guys had was so fucking stacked. I think the year after you had something like only 14 or 15 guys signed and less than $10 mill in cap space leftover to sign 8 or 9 more guys. You had to do some cap relief. But what a roster it...

    Was how we felt to a lesser degree last season with Mike Green getting hurt like Mike Green usually does and Backstrom being out with the concussion for 40 games. Not the same caliber as Sid and Geno, same idea. What is Neal's status right now btw? I know Letang came back.

    Really hard to tell in a season where teams only play within their conferences too. I would say that the bottom level goaltending int he East is worse overall than out West, which may affect goal totals. On the other hand, I don't think you'd hear much argument from West teams about who are...

    I'm torn on it Grimm...I hate too much of a good thing, but I understand what you're saying about needing to shine a positive light on the league again. Meanwhile, the Caps continue to win. Although so does Winnipeg. Magic number is 7 with us up 4 points with 5 games left for both of us...

    Which is basically what all of us were pointing out when you were on the "can't beat the Blackhawks" kick. It could happen, they're still stacked...but there are a couple teams out West that could give them trouble. Kings obviously, I'm not completely sold on the Ducks though.

    Feels like a lot of other people also had the benefit of marathons/netflix/on demand to watch most of the first 2 seasons in a short amount of time, and now getting less than an hour a week just leaves us wanting more.

    The guys who are good at it are awesome. I always think teams overlook the slap pass for a redirect just off to the side of the goalie the way most challenge the shooter.

    N/m found it on espn.com. If Shanny said non-suspendable is he thinking about a fine at least? I didn't think you could throw forearms/elbows to the head like that. Now I'm not sure how much intent there was with the puck coming around that might have been an uncoordinated attempt to smother...

    Well you said correct you...Eli said that after he had already won his 2nd Super Bowl. As for Flacco, I don't think Kolb has been to a Conference Championship game prior to making a statement like that or set any records for winning a playoff game every year of his career.

    Ovechkin with another goal, league leading 26th. Caps win 5th in a row...at Montreal no less. Jets won as well though, as did the Isles. Ottawa lost though.

    Isn't there a happy medium? Something along the lines of "I'm here to do the best I can at making this team better". Even Bills fans probably laughed at the Super Bowl comment.

    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.

    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.

    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...
