Three stooges.

Yeah, I can't see them going into the rest of the ironborn until next season, but it would be hard to just ignore them completely. They already have Theon, Asha (now Yara apparently), and Balon, so they're set up for it. I'm guessing they'll need to off Balon either by the end of the season or the start of next season, which could kick things off with the other characters.

What, is it bad to point out where the TV show differs from the books, without going into what specifically happened in the books?

Yeah, it was at the inn. Sandor had too much to drink, which is why he had so much trouble with them. In the TV show there were five of them, but in the books there were only three -- Polliver, the Tickler, and a boy squire. Sandor removed half of Polliver's face, but not before he had taken a few serious wounds, including losing his ear. Arya took care of the Tickler, took back Needle from Polliver, and finished off the squire. She will most definitely end up at the temple in Braavos, I have to think -- they've already shown flashes of Braavos in the TV teasers, so we know it will be part of the storyline. True, good point. We never know for certain it was her wolf, but yeah, it was her wolf. I bloody well can't wait to see that on the TV show, if they include it. They'd better.

Crap, I forgot that part.

There is no chance the sale is already completed, as the Bills haven't even hired an appraiser yet. Also, the NFL owners can't sign off on it until the league meetings, the earliest of which are in October. That's probably what they thought was meant by everything being wrapped up "by October".

You mean Patchface? Haven't seen anything of him on the show that I can recall. I thought last night's episode was a little slow, but I liked it since many of the storylines got back on track -- especially Bran's. They took some liberties with that one, especially Bran warging into Hodor to kill the Bolton guy (Locke), but I thought it was well done. And now Bran and the group are free to get back to searching for the one-eyed crow. I think they're doing great with the Littlefinger-Sansa storyline, the Brienne and Pod storyline, and others. I don't know what they're planning on doing with Arya and the Hound...they already had the encounter at the Inn where the Hound was "mortally" wounded, but he wasn't wounded in the show. Not sure how they plan on getting Arya the opportunity to rid herself of the Hound.

I thought it was a great episode. Love the Littlefinger-Sansa storyline. I also like how the Bran storyline evolved, even though it was a bit different than the book. I'll admit, I was a bit surprised that the character sent by Bolton to the Wall to find Bran was offed by the Bran-Hodor combo. Totally not in the books, but well done!

Robey is the man. Something tells me Henderson will do some lobbying on behalf of the corner blitz. Don't give up on it just yet.

Oh he knows music, he just doesn't know good music. But yeah, happy birthday, and stuff.

I know, I couldn't get them to appear...

The rape scene was definitely not like in the books, but the situation in the TV show was also different. In the books, Jamie had just returned to King's Landing after being away for so long, so he wasn't there for Joffrey's death. They saw each other for the first time while in the sept, and lustily went after each other. In the TV show, Jamie had already been back in King's Landing for perhaps weeks, was present for Joffrey's death (and was supposed to be protecting him), and he and Cersei had already been quarreling. So the sex scene in the sept took place under very different circumstances, and as such at least it makes some sense that Cersei did not consent (at first). Not that I agree with creating that scene, but that at least might explain it. As for Margaery's grandmother, it was the same as in the books -- although in the books, grams doesn't come straight out and admit it like in the TV show. In the books, it was still Littlefinger who orchestrated it all, along with the grams, by using Sansa and Ser Dontos to get the poison where it needed to be during the wedding. Coldhands. Yeah, that's basically the only person Bran et al met once they got outside the Wall, until they find the Three-Eyed Crow. But like someone else posted, I guess this is a way to introduce some drama into that storyline and to drag it out longer so they don't catch up as fast. Man, that would suck if the TV show catches up and surpasses the books...

That's hardly the same thing here. Ownership of an NBA franchise, which comes with its own bylaws and rules, is very different than just owning any other piece of property.

Selling the franchise and making hundreds of millions of dollars from it is hardly "stripping".

Seriously? He has all the freedom in the world to say whatever the hell he wants. That doesn't mean it can't come without consequence. What you say matters. There's no constitutional right to say whatever you want without taking responsibility for it. On a side note, we should seriously start a "Bring the Clips Back to Buffalo" movement.

Finally watched the episode last night. Yeah, they're veering way off in the events at and beyond the Wall. I don't remember any direwolves getting caught by anyone north of the wall, and Bran and his group never came across anyone besides Coldhands and the Three-Eyed Crow once they got past the wall (except for some Others, of course). And nothing was described about what happened to the Craster boys other than stories...

Well, at least we know you're not prone to hyperbole or anything.

Damn, that was one convincing article.

Hell of a first game to attend! The atmosphere at that game was beyond electric.

LOL. I'm on board with this.

Well, that's a relief.

http://espn.go.com/n...r-says-play-nfl On playing in the NFL at age 52: On Donald Trump owning the Bills: On a possible future with the Bills: I don't even know what those words mean. Good stuff, Herschel.

Man, that's the truth. What a weekend that was.

People always seem to overestimate the trade value of their own team's players. At this point in his career, with his history of antics and injuries, we'd be lucky to get a 5th for him. Maybe, maybe, a 4th. But I doubt that. Even considering trading our #9 + Stevie to move up is foolish. It would take our #9, Stevie, and considerably more. But we're not trading him anyway.
