  1. Keep in mind that Arizona is now further behind us than they were at this time last week. This thing is still right on track.
  2. Selfie stick? They seriously had to invent that? I hope it telescopes because otherwise someone has to look incredibly stupid carrying that thing around with them all day.
  3. Unless they were dumb enough to force Pete to stay in Michonne's home. He had his little fit about "this isn't my home", it would be too funny if they made that mistake. Like BillsFan said, I think it's about picking up the supplies that anyone drops as they're killed. I like how they slowly replenish the walkers outside so that people will think they're the first to find the food trucks. The red poncho guy was going to be one of those outside walkers and I'm pretty sure that's where they were going to take Morgan as well. There was a flash of light though, or at least that's what I thought I saw. Did they mention that kill at all on Talking Dead because it seems from this thread that there is a mixed reaction on what actually happened.
  4. I thought Aaron said Davidson was the leader of the group they exiled.
  5. She's well beyond her demons at this point. Compare her when she first showed up to how she is now. Essentially, Carl saved her. She's a lot like Daryl actually. At first they were both loners, but now they're the ones keeping people together. For Daryl, it was Beth, for Michonne it was Carl.
  6. I can't help but think Jessie would be a bit scared of him now.
  7. I was half expecting him to kiss Michonne during their talk. She's practically Carl's mom at this point, so that combination would actually make sense.
  8. It might be more emotional if we had any attachment to these Alexandrians. They still haven't been around long enough to care about. Deanna is the only one with any character development at this point, so I guess her green lighting the execution does get some reaction from the viewers. She has very quickly been given a taste for the real world, losing her son and husband in a matter of days.
  9. Ok, I suppose he'll have some conversations, but I can't imagine anything happening. I don't think there's any realistic price out there for this kind of deal. Like I said earlier, I'd much rather move some of those assets for someone like O'Reilly or another Kane-type deal instead. The team is still going to need a goalie too. There are too many holes and Eichel isn't far enough behind McDavid to warrant it. edit: And speaking of Eichel, I think some who may have watched the NCAA tourney this weekend will want to say that since he didn't put up many points, he doesn't look all that great. Take a look at this stat, which shows just how much he has done for that team. Evan Rodrigues is second in the nation in scoring this year (Eichel #1). Compare his numbers this year to his previous three years. That's what Eichel brings to his team.
  10. I assumed it was the gun, but I never actually saw it during the fight. It's so tough to see things in those very dark scenes. And now some random thoughts: -Maggie is very quickly becoming a leader. I could see her taking over for Deanna with Rick as her iron fist. -People are talking about disappointment, but I enjoyed it. That last 30 minutes was very tense, switching back and forth from scene to scene, fully expecting a main cast member to die. -How on earth did Daryl fall for that trap? The tin cans hanging from the tops of all of the trucks should have been all the sign he needed that someone had been there before. -The two wolves resetting the trap at the end, were they they the same two that Morgan beat up? Again, it was tough to see on the dark screen. I kind of hope Morgan left them in the back of that car as walker bait. -Daryl's chain kill of the three walkers was pathetic. There's no way that should have worked. -People seem to think that the exiles will wind up being wolves, but I don't buy that. The guys found the pictures Aaron dropped, but if the group already knew of Alexandria, none of that should be a surprise to them.
  11. What exactly is the rumor? To "guarantee" the first pick, he would have to acquire every single lottery draft pick. At this point, I hope the team takes whatever pick they wind up. Instead of using assets to move up one spot in the draft, I'd much rather those be used to build a roster around McEichel.
  12. How did Rick kill that walker? I have absolutely no clue what happened.
  13. Do the attendants even have access to the code? I can't see much purpose them knowing it.
  14. I'm surprised an editor signed off on that column. Calling your readers losers is a line that I can't imagine most writers would even consider crossing.
  15. I actually want to start reading now because it is going to be fun watching him dig an even deeper grave trying to explain his way out of this one.
  16. That is an absolutely amazing find. Good work digging that up. It proves that everything he writes is simply about stirring up controversy and not about what he actually thinks.
  17. What the Sabres are doing has happened in every single league over and over. I guess all sports are bush league.
  18. My guess is it would probably fit inside that giant circle in Deion's former driveway.
  19. At the end of the day, if the teams get the results (and that's a big if), fans don't care how they got there. I can guarantee that the vast majority of Penguins fans never cared about how they landed Mario Lemieux, just like Patriots fans don't care one bit about the reputation hovering around that franchise. They don't care one bit what anyone else thinks.
  20. I just read his column. I'm so sick of hearing this thought that the team who is closest to the playoffs should get the first pick. Why would that 17th best team in the league get the first overall pick while the 18th best team drafts 18th? Talk about a crazy cutoff. It would also create a new form of tanking that would be far worse for the league's integrity than the current system. What happens when a team is one point out of the last playoff spot and intentionally throws their last game of the year? In a year like this one, what would you rather want, the very last playoff spot and a date with the Rangers/Ducks or Connor McDavid? I think I know what most would choose. I love the thought that this system would somehow reward winning. How does just barely missing out on the playoffs qualify as winning? If you want to justify your stance by saying that winning should be rewarded, the only logical conclusion is that the team who wins the Cup should get the #1 pick. Otherwise you're just rewarding someone who wins... but not too much.
  21. Realistically it is 10, but technically it is 11. It is mathematically possible for us to catch them in the tiebreaker and finish tied. The only way that happens is if we win most of our games without shootouts and Arizona loses most of their games in OT. So it requires both teams to take a good portion of the remaining points, which is why it is such a longshot.
