  1. What's the deal with the guy in the Brees jersey and fuzzy hat, thinking that he just might have the ball thrown to him?
  2. And there should have been a lot more walkers following the van off the bridge than just the one or two that came crashing down.
  3. This is why this "outrage over 5 seconds of video" routine always drives me mad. We have no idea what happened over the course of that game and we're ready to crucify that guy anyway. Hell, someone upthread is suggesting pressing charges. It doesn't get much crazier than that. Anyway, no matter what happened over the course of that game, I will never be the least bit surprised when I see a home fan frustrated over the celebration of the visiting fan/team. How many videos do we see each year of fights in the stands? This guy is nowhere near the level of those idiots yes he's being described as the lowest form of life we've ever seen in a sports crowd. All it takes is one.
  4. I'm not really sure what else people would expect when the visiting team is trying to toss a football to one of their fans.
  5. Something related to the napalm strikes in Atlanta? Could they have been close enough to cause some smoke issues or something? But yeah, the van fall was pretty bad. They totally booted that one.
  6. There's a sentence I never thought I'd see.
  7. It's been a while since I've known I'm going to see multiple movies in this thread. Interstellar and Horrible Bosses 2 are the top ones on my list. I'll probably check out Dumb and Dumber once it hits redbox. The wife will want to see Hunger Games: Return of the Jedi.
  8. Does one retard leave if he never actually shows up?
  9. What if she says no?
  10. The whole thing seemed pretty spot on to me. He should get a nice little ratings spike off of this one.
  11. In my book, FTW will always be F the world.
  12. They need to have Scully and Mulder show up to give Homer the jiggle test. Anyway, I'm enjoying the addition of Matt Groening. The task I have him and Homer on in my town right now is hilarious. I was kind of hoping we'd get Bender thanks to the crossover episode though.
  13. It seems like all of the big time cable shows follow the half season format now, especially on AMC. Each of their big three shows moved to that format right around the same time, once it was successful for Breaking Bad.
  14. I don't think the Q will ever shake that reputation. Still, I was surprised to see no one of value on the team with him. I thought I remembered there being some high powered line with one of the Kostitsyn brothers, but upon further review, that was Kane. That goes right along with Q's reputation though, I just assumed the soft lazy forward from Belarus played in the Q instead of the OHL. McDavid is going to be fun to watch when he gets to this level and I really hope it is here. I can't help but think about Pittsburgh drafting Malkin 2nd one year and then Crosby 1st the next. Reinhart doesn't belong in the same sentence as the other three, but he and McDavid would be one hell of a Pittsburgh-like building block.
  15. 2014: 3rd last, Panthers won lottery 2012: 2nd last, won the lottery 2011: Last place, Devils won lottery (moving up 4 places as a result) 2010: Last place, won the lottery So they got lucky two years in a row, 2011 and 2012. The lottery was different then, where the winner could move up at most 4 slots, so that Devils win allowed them to keep the #1 pick. Then obviously the leapfrog in 2012 was lucky... but that Yakupov pick looks iffy right now. They won a lot, but their timing was pretty crappy. Hall has been a very good player, but Yakupov and Nugent-Hopkins really weren't the big end elite prospects you'd hope to see when you're picking #1.
  16. She has to hold out for Daryl's scraps, either Carol or Beth.
  17. They said it on the talking dead, but I don't remember any mentioning during the actual show though. My sound was off a bit early though, so I may have missed it. She's too interested in Rosita. She had the lesbian thing going with that cop from the Governor's second camp and Abraham caught her staring at Rosita's chest once.
  18. Columbus has to get healthy at some point. I'm not really sure who is the serious contender at this point for dead last. I'd consider putting Edmonton there because of their recent history, but they seem just streaky enough to move away from us.
  19. And that backstory was poorly executed. Something bad happened and he lost family. Isn't that everyone's backstory at this point? We don't even know what happened as it opened with him beating those guys to death.
  20. That was probably a pretty good episode last night (and last week too), but I still feel kind of let down because of the way they opened the season. I don't know if it was even possible to follow up what was probably the best 3 episode stretch over the entire series.
  21. Handler is standing for it in completely the wrong place though. Go after tv broadcast standards or something along those lines. I don't know the process for signing up for instagram, but I'd imagine that she clicked a little check box saying that she agreed to their policies for membership. It reminds me of each time someone around here cries censorship when their posts are deleted, one of those pet peeves I have. By the way, where did that Putin picture originate anyway? Was it an instagram thing or somewhere else? Oh, and is that magazine that Keira posed for very popular? I can't tell if her story will get much attention or not.
  22. Anyone trying to make a direct comparison of Crosby at 17 and McDavid at 17 based on those numbers is missing a very important point. Crosby was 7 months younger in that season they are using. So if you want to claim they're the same age, you'd actually have to go back to McDavid's numbers from around April of last season. And that is completely ignoring that we're talking about only 14 games and that they were played in different junior leagues. Crosby's QMJHL has always had a reputation of being more high scoring/less defense. Crosby's 16 year old numbers (135 points in 59 games, 2.29 ppg) were miles ahead of McDavid's (99 in 56, 1.77 ppg), but again, I think it's not the most useful of comparisons. Another thing I'm not sure about is how the talent level of the two teams matched up. Erie does have another top 5 draft prospect in Strome. After a quick look at Rimouski's roster, I don't really recognize any of Crosby's teammates. Both guys numbers show them to be assist guys, so that is definitely going to be driven by how many finishers they have around them. edit: I hope this doesn't look like I'm trying to shoot down McDavid because I'm not. I want him on this team but I don't see the point of this comparison.
  23. That and the gunshot that killed zombie-Shane.
  24. The Knightly story is fine but the Handler one is just plain stupid. You have to love when the 1st amendment argument is made for a situation where it doesn't apply.
  25. Marchand flopped after his fist bump.
