QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 27, 2016 -> 09:03 AM) I did, but it was still a weird time jump. It would have been nice to see a 30 second scene with Tyrion/Dany welcoming him back. Instead it was like, oh hey there, welcome back. It was like he found a worm hole

So many other pieces of the story need to come together before this comes to a head but that was an incredibly satisfying episode, especially after investing so many years in the books and watching Dany and Arya just toiling away in the margins.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 25, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Need to go to the Apple Store tomorrow, my Iphone is running WAY too hot, and the battery all the sudden is draining way too quickly when I use any app. It's an IPhone 6 that I purchased like 2 months ago. It seems like they say it could be a rouge app, but I don't know how to find what it could be. Check your email setting as well. If the mail app is trying to fetch a bad account over and over it burns up.

Hawks have 10 picks. Holy s***

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 06:23 PM) Shaw to Montreal for two 2nd rounders and two thumbs up from me. Not bad. shaw wants to get paid while he's still young.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 10:52 AM) They haven't done the Veto yet, that is today I believe. They did the new Sunday comp yesterday Also, Josea is becoming the most hated HG of all time pretty damn quickly Oh interesting. I know they are two comps behind right now, what was the other one?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 10:19 AM) I'm pro electoral college myself...I don't want a few states controlling the will of the entire nation (which they already almost do). Also, as our nation moves closer to the idiocracy it's becoming (people usually know very little about what they're voting for or why), I prefer having such a safeguard. We are in IL, not much matters because its almost always the same color.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) The electoral college was created -- to put it bluntly -- to protect the people from themselves. Alot of the things that were developed hundreds of years ago are probably not needed today. We had representatives of our communities and states because it simply wasnt possible for everyone to be in one place voting on issues. Today were could (in theory) put everything online and have the country vote.

US markets are WAY down

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:21 AM) Our system prevents any one person from destroying us. Checks and balances and all. As long as "his party" stands up to his crazier ideas we'll be fine. This is one reason I like having Congress controlled by a different party than the White House. Something we always seem to do during mid term elections. We benefit when we employ the best of both party platforms. But then our government literally does nothing. Im not sure that was the design either.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 07:10 AM) Haven't watched or read about feeds yet but bet Paul doesn't last, which sucks because he at least seems like a player. I dont think he's a player at all, he is too hard too soon and just orders people around. Nobody wins with that formula week 1 Read this at your own risk:

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) All depends on the movement of his fastball in the 92-96 range, as opposed to upper 90's. Not sure if he throws four-seam, two-seam or both. If he has a good sinking fastball, that's usually MUCH more effective taking a little bit off and not overthrowing but I haven't watched him at all on video. 4 seam, slider, devastating change is what I have seen. I saw his fastball with a bit of sink at one point so maybe he's flirted with the two seamer. I think he could appear in Chicago this season.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 24, 2016 -> 06:41 AM) People take stable government for granted. For everyone that hates the "x would be worse" arguments, now you'll get to see how true they re. British pound devalued, and they just left the one of the largest trade markets in the world. It kills me that it's driven by older voters too. Burning the world down for their children from immigration scare mongering. Never fails. Thats exactly whats happening. 2016 looks to be the worst political year in our lifetime at the moment. We are all going to s***.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) I hate Tiffany already. Agreed, its all I could say the entire episode. And I like that Nicole got a bit hotter this season. Im already watching the feeds while I work and theyve alread done veto and there are already 7 alliances.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:08 PM) Are the Canadians really gonna trade Subban? Why? I wish the Hawks had a chance to make that deal. Yeah I'd want to do that.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) If Butler was traded, would you prefer Dunn/Wiggins or Russell/Ingram as two possible trade packages? Either, but selfishly I like Russell, then we can pick up Sullinger and Turner and just start wearing Scarlet and Gray

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:50 PM) For a veteran "contact" hitter, and a player who has had lots of opportunities to get into his offensive rhythm recently....Shuck just has to get the job done ONE of those times. Anderson's failures are a bit more excusable. And Eaton's had a good game overall, offensively and defensively. Hard to rip on him too much. On the plus side, at least 3 of 4 vs Boston and the offense woke up. Shuck sucks though, horrible.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Woot.com has Orca coolers on sale today only. Look like Yetis, cost more than normal as well. http://www.woot.com/offers/orca-extra-heav...w_cnt_gw_dly_tl Orca's have done very well in head to head tests, so do pelicans. Yeti's apparently arent all they are cracked up to be

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 09:08 AM) I wondered the same thing, but thought maybe that was on purpose. Sansa is the "new" generation of Starks. She's not making the same honor/pride mistakes that her father, brother and step-brother have made (or keep making, in the case of Jon). More likely though it was for the sake of audience satisfaction, since Ramsay really wasn't that much of a villain in the books. He was horrific in the books. Total scum. And Sansa has been through tons of s*** at this point including seeing her father killed and being made to look at his head on the spires of the castle. She's trying to pay back as much of her pain as possible. At least thats the way I saw it. Starks played by the books and got f***ed, time to change the game plan.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:45 AM) I feel it's important for me, a long-time supporter of THE CHALLENGE, to come in here and say this... I am out. This show has lost its luster for me. The vets are too old and sad at this point, and I can't get behind the new crop of idiots. It's been a nice run, The Challenge. I've been with you since the college days when it was Real World vs Road Rules. It's been like 13 years. I will miss your heyday, but I can no longer reserve the 45 minutes a week to watch. The Ex's is coming back and old players are coming back again. Its terrible. I am sick of seeing these old farts on over and over. I really wish they would open the challenge to characters on other networks somehow.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 09:17 AM) im going to point and laugh at whoever willingly trades for Tony Snell Agreed.

I can't believe someone was dumb enough to take Rose.

We've won too many titles. Wahhh

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) That "Are You the One" team's strategy - to throw in other "Are you the One" teams - was very suspect. BTW, that show is pretty amazing.
