  1. Right, I guess I thought the discussion was who would be the three heads of the dragon via the books or in general not specifically to the show. This is one of those things that can kind of get muddy for the readers. If they never bother to introduce Aegon in the show then can the reader's assume he has no real bearing on the outcome of the story? My hope is that the show diverges enough where you basically end up with very different resolutions to a lot of things so the readers don't have the story completely spoiled by the end of the show's run which I think we can all assume will be way before the final word of the book series is written.
  2. I always assumed it had to be someone of Targaryen blood riding the dragons so not sure how you guys think Bran would fit. If R+L=J than it would make sense to be Danny and Jon as two. For the third my current guess would be Danny's nephew and Rhaegar's son Aegon.
  3. The girls I know who got too into coke always got fat after they quit not at the height of their usage. Sounds like sugar was her real problem.
  4. Ever consider buying a Brady jersey? (Sammy Morris was awesome by the way)
  5. I've been hearing good things about Nashville for a couple years now so that is the likely spot for me if I make an away game this season.
  6. Wow, I hope this is exaggerated or just not true. In any case Harmon is a good one. As far as this board goes, I don't think I've seen anyone hated on as much as Maybin was. It continued even after he wasn't even on the team anymore.
  7. I believe Forrest Gump nailed this debate on free will versus fate. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.
  8. If she really thinks her education is what got her ahead in life her brain power definitely matches her hair color. Hot chick sports commentators are plentiful these days, if this doesn't get her quickly replaced a couple years worth of extra wrinkles and pounds inevitably will.
  9. Bad decisions lead to good stories.
  10. Ex Machina would be a good addition to your list. https://youtu.be/XYGzRB4Pnq8 It had a limited release last week and has been getting very good reviews. Supposedly it is planned to have a wide release next week.
  11. Glad to see he tried it from the rubber. Decent toss considering that.
  12. I'm not a fan for change just for the sake of change but if the kick is getting too boring for some I like this idea: Td = 6. 1 extra point awarded for crossing the endzone by pass or run from the 2 yard line ( just like a 2 point conversion now) and 1 point awarded for a defensive return. Option to go for 2 points instead of the 1 by kicking a 50 yard fg.
  13. I guess I get what you're saying. The NCAA punishments, especially those affecting future students, didn't exactly make sense. Maybe the NCAA didn't need to get involved but PSU as an institution needed some kind of punishment for allowing something like that to happen. I don't think I posted or even read any of the PSU thread so I'm not sure who exactly is flip-flopping but I think probably everyone can agree that how the NCAA governs a lot of their rules and doles out their punishment rarely makes much sense at all.
  14. It is a pretty big leap to find an association for hypocrisy in calling for a school to get stiff penalties for turning a blind eye to child molesting and suggesting a school got punished too severely for a student athlete not writing his own papers. Not exactly sure how anyone could not see the difference between the two.
  15. Seems like the idea would be a whole lot cooler if you could text, email, and take calls on it without having to actually have an iPhone for it to work as well. The technology for a fully functioning smart phone on your wrist might be a ways off still but that would likely be the jump I would need to pick something like this up.
  16. This could all very well be true but I think we should all wait until after FA and the draft before we pass judgement on Whaley's current plan of attack. This trade on it's own looks worse if it is the only move they make but if some more pieces fall into place over the next month or so it could end up looking a lot better.
  17. Caught an old episode of walking dead over the weekend with a stupid joke that seems to fit with the rest of these: What is the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts? Beer nuts cost $1.79 while deer nuts are under a buck.
  18. So does this mean from here on out all references to said cheating team must now go from Pats* to Pats**?
  19. Anything that gets the crowd more involved in the game can't be a bad thing.
  20. I spend some time today messing around with the espn playoff machine... http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine ...and it looks like winning out would more than likely get them in. Also with only one more loss there is still a decent chance they could make it in if a couple games went their way. Without trying ties there wasn't any scenario I could find where 9-7 would work so if they can win 1 out of the next 2 we can at least be going into the Raiders game thinking playoffs are still there to be had.
  21. I except the D to be able to hang in there and compete for a while. Like others in this thread though I believe the game comes down to how many good drives can the O put together. No matter how good the D is playing they will eventually tire out if the Bills are going 3 and out multiple times in a row and against Denver's offense that could quickly lead to a blow out.
  22. It's hard to compare because the NFL wasn't nearly as popular back then and there wasn't anything even close to the kind of media coverage football gets these days. Back then when it wasn't football season you barely heard anything about the Bills other than around draft time. When the Bills finally do climb back into the NFL limelight it definitely will be interesting to see how or if the Bills fan landscape changes from what we know it as now.
  23. I watched the episode a second time yesterday and I was kind of thinking the same thing. If she could have picked up the rifle she used to launch it out of and kind of aim it I would have felt a little better about it. I remember doing stuff like that as a kid with bottle rockets and toy guns and we were accurate enough to get a rocket to pass through that stream of gas like she did, though at probably half the distance. But like you said suspension of disbelief is a big part of the show. I was just happy to finally see some burning zombies walking around. Any zombie movie or show is incomplete without that.
  24. I would guess they would have been well equipped to handle most big herds of zombies but they had a couple things working against them this time around. First off the guy Carol and Tyrese grabbed and eventually killed was supposed to set off a bunch of fireworks that would have distracted the zombie group and got them headed in a different direction. It looked like a strategy they had employed in the past. Second and most importantly Carol blew a big a55 hole in their fence and main building on top of setting a bunch of stuff on fire. So with the major perimeter breach in zombie defenses, along with chaos caused by the fire and the good guys running around inside their fences capping people, it was more than the Terminus crew could handle when this herd wandered their way.
  25. This is the correct answer.
