  1. Arya stealing Jaime's face and killing Cersei is one of the more popular theories around, but it has one problem: Maggy the Frog's prophecy is pretty clear that the Valonqar will strangle Cersei with his bare hands. It's not impossible, but it is difficult to imagine Arya using that method. (Or Jaime for that matter, considering he has only one good hand)
  2. Everyone wants to see Cleganebowl, but I don't think Arya will ever let anyone do her fighting for her...even against a foe like the Mountain. She'd definitely go Red Viper on Gregor, but minus the taunting at the end. Besides, we all know that it has to be Jaime (or an outside chance of Tyrion) who kills Cersei. That being said, it might be possible for Arya to do the deed wearing her "Kingslayer" halloween costume.
  3. Hasn't Robben managed to screw that up by himself? Maybe he has to be wearing orange....
  4. Sometimes I blame myself. I'm a Canuck fan, (as are most people on these boards) but I'm also a Buffalo Bills fan and have seen the Netherlands lose three World Cup finals. (and lose in the semis in another) If it hadn't been for the Blue Jays' two World Series wins, I'd honestly believe that I'm cursed. I doubt that anyone has experienced as much championship final disappointment as I have...
  5. For me it was my first World Cup in '74....I saw Cruyff, Neeskens and co. play and have been a fan of Dutch football ever since. (Even though my heritage is basically English) There always seemed to be a "next one" coming along for Holland. I thought that might be Memphis, but now I'm not so sure....
  6. I want to be happy about that, but it's hard, because the Netherlands have also failed to qualify...
  7. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a better middle infield than Correa - Altuve....
  8. C ya, Bosox. Now if the Tribe can just finish off the evil empire....
  9. The wrong team won, but I was happy to see Joe Smith pitch so well last night. The best trades are the ones that help both teams and hopefully, Pannone and Taylor will be solid players for the Jays in years to come.
  10. Not a Giants fan by any stretch, but that's brutal. 0-5 and 80% of your receiving corps out with injuries.... As a Bills fan, I can commiserate with misfortune (**cough forward lateral **cough) but that was truly a case of being snakebitten.
  11. Doesn't really mean anything....Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke and Sophie Turner have all done movies, while still being part of the GoT cast....
  12. Brutal letdown today, especially by the defense. If I was coaching this team Purifoy would be benched for giving up on that play....
  13. Awful defensive showing by my guys today. Fumble in the red zone was the difference, but OU's defense had several opportunities to stuff the Cyclones on 3rd down and gave up big plays instead. Mayfield was terrific as usual (as was the O line) but he can't do anything about the opposing offense. I suppose there's still a chance at a playoff game, but they're going to have to run the table now....
  14. That's right boys and girls.... It's the FIRST PLACE Bills, 4 weeks in!
  15. Absolutely stunned that they came away with three points. They were the second best team on the pitch tonight, but that was just because there were only two teams playing....
  16. Wow. That was complete domination by Sporting. Absolutely amazing that the 'Caps came out of that half even... I was a bit worried when I saw the B-team taking the pitch, but I thought maybe someone would step up. So far, Marinovic is the only one who showed up to play.
  17. As I said before, you never judge a player by his September performance, but I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about Mayza after his past few appearances. Can't have too many lefties in the 'pen.
  18. Too bad Smoakie is finishing the season kind of cold... I was hoping for a 40/100 season. Still, 4 million per is an absolute bargain.
  19. Also somehow missed the fact that my team has a bye week. (hate those so early in the season) I'll be interested to see how Texas Tech vs Oklahoma St plays out this evening. Unfortunately, I won't get to watch, since I'm playing a fundraiser tonight and I'll be busy setting up.
  20. Dammit! I didn't realize it was such an early start... Just saw the video recap. Looks like it was a barn burner. That 4th down conversion by the Trojans before the TD that tied it up was really something.
  21. I'm really hoping that one is televised. Should be a good one.
  22. Right. Something not happening is proof that it's a result of what Donald Trump wants.
  23. Right. You have nothing factual to back up your opinion, so you're falling back on, "It will all happen behind the scenes and no-one will see it". Tell you what, I'll make you a bet: If the league imposes a rule prohibiting players taking a knee during the anthem, I'll get out of this thread. If a player takes a knee and the league does nothing, you get out.
  24. Maybe, but I was specific in the part of your post that I was responding to. That's why I bolded it. And I disagree that the players will "have" to do anything. Nothing I've seen from the league or the players so far, supports your opinion.
