So it's strictly about negotiating rights and there's no different price. Why would a team ever bother with the non-exclusive version? I suppose it leaves them open for a shot at compensation, but it's rare the another team would even flirt with that chance.

What exactly is the difference between the exclusive and non-exclusive tag. I know non-exclusive means that the player can negotiate with another team, but does the team have to pay even more if they go with the exclusive tag?

I did forget about him. We haven't seen much of him so far over these three episodes.We'll see if that changes (and Heath too, now that I mention it).

It's amazing how quickly Alexandria has become nothing but red shirts. We know the names of maybe 4 of them at this point: Spencer, Denise, Heath, and Enid. We can name almost as many Hilltop people already (granted, they're very fresh in our memory).

For some reason, I thought he died years ago.

There's 5 left.

iPhone. Teller was telling us to remove the case and if we couldn't get it, he'd have to move on. That didn't make much sense to me at first, but now it does with the phone swap. With all the different colors they have on iPhones now though, I wonder if the dummy phone was even the same color. I don't have the eye for that kind of stuff.

I kind of wish they were just to see the reaction when the league doesn't screw over Toronto for their tank.

For the trick, they were taping a video on the phone that would give us a little souvenir that shows how the trick was done. Essentially, they swapped out the phone at some point, which is why they were looking for a specific phone. Look up cellfish on YouTube. A ton of people have posted their videos.

No, at the very start of the show they had everyone hold up their cell phones and then they picked her. It's not completely random though, if you want to put it that way. They never said it but they were looking for a specific type of phone.

Is it the Kings who are known for having a pretty funny Twitter account? That one was a bit lame.

They're all family, at least the one's who have been on the road together for most of the series. Glenn's speech to Enid in the first one said as much. But those three (oh wait, four... forgot about the baby) are on a whole other level of family, kind of like Glenn/Maggie.

This feels like the 3rd or 4th west coast trip this season.

They're not reporting salaries at the link. They're reporting total earnings, salary plus endorsements.

I took it as more of he'd want to put her down if she turned, just like how he put down Lori and how he let Spencer put down Deanna. That paired with the hookup with Rick, they both have accepted Micchone as a part of their family now.

I want one of those simulators.

I just found an interesting stat. Minnesota, trying to make a playoff push, has not won a game in their home arena yet in 2016. They hosted an outdoor game and won this weekend, but they haven't won indoors at home yet. It's hard to imagine a decent hockey team putting together that long of a home losing streak.

United wound up giving us a total of $300 in "travel certificates". I guess they do listen sometimes. As I've dug into the situation, I've realized that they were the main cause for our screw ups. When they changed our flights originally, the agent did not remove us from the Chicago-Vegas flight that we were going to miss. Thanks to that, we were listed as no shows on that flight, and as a result, our return reservation was canceled.

I like the idea of this mini-series setups for shows like this. I haven't watched any of this one yet, but I've got the whole thing on DVR (except the first episode, I'm sure I can pull that up on demand). I can fly through the whole thing within a week now and not have to wait between episodes. 6 episodes is just about the perfect length for something like that.

It's odd. I haven't heard a single word about Zoolander, positive or negative. I'm sure it has everything to do with this being dead season for movies, but it's like that movie fell off the face of the earth before being released.

And the 16th wall.

I saw Deadpool over the weekend. It's a nice shake up to the comic book movie craze. Hilarious.

It's amazing how incredibly different she looks in person and on the show. The stuff these makeup artists can do is crazy.

I did get to see a crazy dude opt out of the scanner and then complain that the pat down guy got too close to his "private area". It was hilarious how whiny this guy was. The TSA agent was near his knee at that point, so that guy damn well better be in porn. This same guy thought he could bypass security completely because his bag went through the X-ray fast and was sitting on the belt unattended.

He makes Johnson look like Gionta in that picture.
