I'm the last one to defend Mills, I'd be happier with any reasonable replacement, but he got hosed on that call. He might have been six inches behind the guard. Maybe. Seems like one of those "point of emphasis" things the refs do every preseason, where they exaggerate the crap out of one rule to try and keep guys honest for the real games.

Is TT's lapel flower/pin for a cause of some kind or has he just been haberdashed within an inch of his life?

From what I saw in last years Bills/Niners game Kap doesn't belong on the field, from strictly a football standpoint. Yep, it's a small sample to look at, but given that Kap isn't on the field, I might just be right. Somebody will get hurt and Kap will get a chance this year. Then I suspect he'll show why he wasn't on a roster.

Him knowing the dragons are coming isn't enough. He needed to know the dragon would fall below the ice. OK, Greenseer's ability, maybe he saw it. But the chains had to exist in the first place. These dead guys aren't forging any metal, and the Wildlings made it clear in earlier seasons that castle forged steel is rare beyond the wall. The only place they might have gotten the chains would be Hardhome, which is just a small fishing village, not a major seaport. There must be a Bob's Bigass Chains Outlet store up there somewhere. As for Gendry being the fastest, it's process of elimination. Thoros was mauled by the bear, Dondarrion and John have both literally been dead, The Hound was nearly killed by Brienne, Jorah has still got problem skin in his t-zone leaving Gendry or Tormund to go. So why not Gendry? I'm not trying to tear the show apart. It's a top 3 series IMHO, and I realize this season, they've delivered a couple of sixty minute Jurassic Park or LotR level special effects movies. That's why there's fewer episodes. The ones we're seeing are insanely expensive for a television show and are pushing their way into movie budget territory. But this season is a bit rushed, and the attention to detail is slipping.

Is there a Bob's Bigass Chains Outlet Store North of the wall?

Is it safe to talk about things that happened this week or is that spoilers for some time zones?

Nice to see Yarbourgh running all the way with the returner...

I seriously doubt either one could name five guys on the team without a lot of head scratching and wrong guesses. They're covering all sports, so their knowledge and analysis is a mile wide and an inch deep. Ask them when Sammy's first injury as a pro was or how many games he averages per season. Without even debating the trade in this post, these guys' opinions are less informed than most of the posters here.

Sure, but those were classified, stealth mylar balloons. The real heroes were the team of little people Navy Seals (Seal Team 1/2) who infiltrated into Iraq with the balloons tied to their wrists.

The thing most people miss about Ruth is that he was a pitcher also. He had 94 wins and 17 saves as a pitcher. I'll throw some notice towards Dave Winfield, as well. Winfield was drafted by four teams in three different sports. The San Diego Padres, The Atlanta Hawks, the Utah Stars (ABA) and the Minnesota Vikings all drafted him. I think Jim Brown played football, basketball, lacrosse and track and field at Syracuse. He dominated the NFL as much as anybody dominated any sport. Bo Jackson was probably the best I ever saw. Check out the youtube video of him running up the outfield wall. He was a cape shy of being a superhero. Thorpe played pro football, pro basketball, pro baseball and won the pentathlon and decathlon. It sounds like there wasn't much he couldn't do athletically.

I'm sure there's some money in it for Bruce's charity. C'mon you guys, it's important that we find a cure, and the Bruce Smith Foundation to Cure Red Light Sleep Apnea is at the forefront of fighting this awful disease.

Geographically and therefore weatherwise, Texas is basically North Mexico. The summer months are hotter than the Devil's crotch after a two hour sauna. It's also a great place if you like watching rodeo on tv. All. Day. Long. Texans favorite pass time is fixin', and you should always assume the Texan to whom you are speaking has one or more guns on them. There's some kind of Heritage Tax break for keeping longhorn cattle, so when you wander out of the cities, you'll see random hobby ranches with a few cattle, as well as ranches that would pass for counties in the North East.

Queen Rhaella Targaryen was the sister, wife, and queen of King Aerys II Targaryen and the only daughter of King Jaehaerys II Targaryen and his sister-wife, Queen Shaera Targaryen. Her grandfather was King Aegon V Targaryen. Rhaella was the mother of Prince Rhaegar, Prince Viserys, and Princess Daenerys. She died shortly after Daenerys's birth.[3] Banjo music. Lots of banjo music.

I would think it would show up in the blood as extracellular hemoglobin, so you'd need a blood test. A universal artificial blood would be an amazing advance, too. It's exactly what the vampires need to come out into the open.

Why do I think Sam making copies of the scrolls is a Mr. Miyagi thing? I suspect the Maester is making him copy the scrolls because there's stuff he needs to know in those scrolls. As for Jaime poisoning Olenna, that's probably his best move. He has a bad enough reputation without getting all stabby on an old lady.

No no, Ted ran the Chappaquiddik Running Club.

Now that I think about it, a small portrait of Herve Villachaize would be funny as hell.

You can't be drunk all day if you don't start in the morning.

You mean the front office we fired?

What are the odds Jon Snow meets his future mount, Rhaegal, the dragon named after his father, and finds out his true lineage from Varys this week?

I gotta say, I'm not loving Cersei's plan to attack the dragons. It looks basically like the Hobbit solution with a wind lance. Also, I know we get fewer episodes this season, but I thought they were supposed to be longer episodes.

The two technological problems I see are maintaining a vacuum in a tunnel hundreds of miles long. As someone mentioned earlier, the Earth shifts, not to mention nefarious actors. The second is maintaining the interior completely free of debris. The thing is supposed to get up to 700 mph. At that speed, anything can create a catastrophic failure. I don't know what to think of Elon Musk. He's putting together these big, game changing companies, but at the same time, those companies are heavily dependent on subsidies. I can't tell if he's the next Henry Ford who is going to leave a company and industry that lasts for a century, or if the whole thing is a house of cards.

I want to know why James' girlfriend looks so much like his Mom. Is James walking across the hall instead of across the street? The girlfriend is at 2:27. Mom is at 3:47. I'd bet money they are related.

I would see if Mrs. Smails wants to make fourteen dollars the hard way. Every day for a week. Then I buy another $2 scratch off, because that's the circle of life.

Meh, I can make up random stuff, so... NFL: Kaepernick gets his shot, signed by Seattle after Wilson goes down for the season. Kaepernick is a back up for two games, then gets three starts beginning in late November. The team is in disarray at 3-7. Kaepernick loses three straight while throwing ground balls and a couple of pick sixes. He announces his retirement after the season. Marrone gets Jacksonville off to a 5-3 start, followed by a 2-6 second half. Bills: The return of the long ball. Taylor throws 12 td passes of 50+ yards. The Bills offense and defense both rank in the top half of the league. The special teams rank in the bottom five. The website Deadspin is shut down when it shows footage of a Bills tailgate involving a human sacrifice ritual intended to end the drought. The official investigation finds that the "person" being thrown into the mock volcano was actually a latex sex doll. Bills fans blame another year of missed playoffs on the fact that the latex doll was not a virgin.
