Damn right, buddy.

Week Under Review: Welcome to the NFL’s new 22-week regular season Starts in September and finishes with the Super Bowl in early March. Season is split up with 5 or 6 byes/breaks, with a potential solution for the Pro Bowl. Discuss.

Thanks, that's a little more like it.

Jesus, he bought that monster for $500K?

Like, getting rid of him sooner?

Point taken, but it does mean that those teams may choose to address their weaknesses with more immediacy than perhaps otherwise, such as targeting more expensive free agents rather than developing draft picks.

I would go back to the locker room at SB XXV and tell the damn team to just feed it to Thurman and forget the rest. Oh yeah, and remind the defense to tackle.

Someone should present an argument about how this is actually a good thing.

You score big points for creativity!

This thread is filled with so much awesomeness.

You may get some crap from some drunk fans at the game, but I think most would say wear it proudly. Hell, I have a #2 Dan Carpenter jersey (bizarre but great story), and I would expect more crap about that one.

That's an insider report...

It certainly looked a little strange to me. I can't tell why, but it just didn't seem like her own body. But they must be able to do some pretty slick things with the software. The Cersei actress wouldn't get naked in front of everyone for the walk of shame scene, but there were definitely shots with her head and a naked body, so...

Brilliant.

The surgery was already done a few weeks ago? Meh.

I totally would root for Cleveland in any sport, except perhaps football. But just as long as Buffalo wins it all first. Does that make me a bad person?

I saw a lot of nice solid throws over the middle in that highlight film. That's a good thing.

I'm sure they'll offer every game the last few years where the Bills blew it against the Pats*** in the last minute.

I told a GoT fan friend of mine about the newly released chapter, and his response was, "I haven't read it... I don't want the book to spoil the show." Classic!

Not sure, really. The chapter is newly released, but he has presented it (read it aloud) at a couple of cons already, within the last couple of years. So the content was already released some time ago; this is the first time people can read it themselves.

Actually, the one I find more reasonable is the theory that Bloodraven (the Three-Eyed Crow) was the one who whispered to Aerys, making him go mad and setting into motion a chain of unfortunate events. Now, he is teaching Bran to be a greenseer, but telling him he can't communicate with people from the past...when he clearly can, at least to some extent. So some believe Bloodraven is telling him that to prevent him from communicating with the past and making the same mistakes he made...possibly because Bran can be more powerful than he is...

The 1979 Buffalo Bills story I know these have been posted before, but it's been a little while and I came across this one today. Man, the memories. 1979 was an interesting year, with Jerry Butler lighting it up as a rookie, Fergy becoming the first Bills QB to surpass 3000 yards (!), Roland Hooks looking remarkably elusive, and the defense starting to look nasty. For us old timers, skip to 9:33...remember the "Way to Throw, Joe!" sign on the scoreboard? That damn scoreboard, always with burnt out lights everywhere. They missed the playoffs that year (friggin' Broncos with yet another last-second FG in our house), so I figured everyone would feel right at home watching it. Oh well...at least it wasn't, "Movin' Right Outta Buffalo."

is that a bump?

Lot of good stuff in there. Some interesting insights into the defense and how some (Mario) didn't fit in, and how the absence of strong leadership impacted things.

Do we hate Whaley again now?
