I used to be a big fan of Sapp but recent events have really tarnished him.

Ask Cromartie.
It's really absurd. Just like how TO is broke, how the fuck do you lose so much money !?
Once the court docs leaked, it was pretty obvious. Deadbeat dads are toxic.
Same goes for him.
Hell same goes for the women. Vasalgel is going to make a ton of money off of athletes.

I wish they would do that. Sucks that it always happens when I'm at work and I'll have no means to watch them this year because there's no tv anywhere around here unlike where I was last year.
As for the Eagles drafting a OT in the first round:
1. Bell probably prevents this although I see you guys only keeping him for this season so it's possible you'd still be interested if you're not confident Peters will be ready to go next season.
2. No top OT's will be left by your pick. Unless you're real high on Jonathon Martin. I'm not.
I feel like we'll be lucky if HBO keeps it on through three seasons.
Just hope that no animals are injured and you'll be fine.
I have some additional issues with the ASOIAF series.
MAJOR SPOILERS (abandon all hope all who enter here):
1. fucking shadow babies
2. the entire 4th book and the 40% of ADWD that didn't take place in the North.
3. Reek rhymes with Meek, Leak, Weak, etc. Theon's chapters in ADWD are pure torture porn.
4. The more she ate, the more she shat.
5. Dany. Retarded character, hope she dies. Her imposter (or real) nephew has accomplished more in getting to Westeros than she has in 4 books).
6. And another lame cliffhanger or fakeout with Jon Snow maybe being killed off.

Yeah, add in the fact that the source material is going downhill to the fact that HBO doesn't like spending big money on shows. And dead horses.

Dumb with lots of money is a bad combo.

Since when has HBO covered nudity/sex under "Adult Content"? Could've sworn they always have those separate. Going into that episode, I noticed that Nudity wasnt' listed under the Advisory list. Was expecting a tame episode.
I was gloriously wrong.

I know I voted for Willis!
Don't lie, you'd let GRRM perform sexual acts on you if it meant TWOW being released earlier.
Take one for the team, buddy.

That's true...They should give me some money. I would know what to do with it.
Also, I'm not a fan of the new red head. Fun fact, she's Dutch.
Calling it "awful" is laughable. Overly ambitious? Too broad in scope? Maybe.
Tons of great, great stuff in both AFFC and ADWD. Some of my favorite parts of the series are sprinkled throughout.
And it's obvious that TWOW is going to be uber-climactic, a la ASOS. All of the plot lines are reaching a critical point.
I read the first four and went from "wow!" to "meh" but I finished them. I've had ADWD since minute one and can't get through it. Hence awful. I'm sure some people like it and call it great. FMT lets his gf shit in his mouth. There is no accounting for taste.

Do we not know by now that Eznark lives in a world of absolutes?

ADWD has been sitting on my shelf for several months.
The "End of Act 1" I guess you could call it halfway through ASOS was really incredible and ridiculous. AFFC was just a letdown by comparison wherein it felt like not a whole lot really happened. I guess for me, Tyrion really carries that series and is probably the only character that has plot armor (haven't read ADWD though!)

Look at this guy.
This series is doomed to ever be finished.

of course, if we're including zombies, we've basically entered comic book territory to bring everyone back

I've always respectfully disagreed with your dislike of the writing, but I'm going on 5 months trying to finish the last book. Granted I've been a lot busier so I've had less time than I had when I read through the others last summer, but I'm basically forcing myself to finish the last one at this point. The first books kept compelling me to turn the page (well, maybe not so much Crows ). But now I'm just trying to push through.
There's an interesting story in there but I find the writing to be a hindrance this time, which was never the case previously.

I've never read the books. Have little interest in doing so either. Prefer to be surprised by what happens on the show (hopefully it remains on for some time). May give them a look later.
OWNED!
This has always been my stand. Outside of the characters I mentioned above, I think his characters and the world are amazing. His writing is unbearable. For me I noticed it quickly because I read the first four books in about two weeks. If you read them as they came out, I imagine it would grate a lot less.
Spring 2014, book it.*

as long as the Jets become a huge circus of laughable failure after the addition of Tebow.
I personally really enjoyed books 4 and 5, but I agree that they're not without fault.wienke said:
The biggest issue IMO is that so much huge stuff happens in ASOS that it's taking GRRM a while to get things ramped back up to that previous level. Without spoiling anything about AFFC or ADWD, it's obvious that TWOW will be full of ASOS-level shit going down.
Fatman jokes are old news, let's all focus on Stafford now.So when's Tampa Bay slated to head to the UK next?

Stafford served me well in FF when Peyton never suited up (thought he would by third or fourth week before the season started). Fatman wasn't even a serviceable backup. Fatman takes what he deserves! Also, tacos and hot dog stuffed pizza.
Melissandre in the show is meh, but Theon's sister is just plain horrible... I just hope the season gets better in the next episodes. Pretty lame so far.
And yeah, the books drag on, but I think it's more that Martin wants to include every shit idea he had and still introduces a lot of characters (to possibly kill at the next random occasion). I found the 5th better than the 4th, but probably personal preference. At least some shit happened in the North finally.

I just can't read fantasy. It's so boring. A friend tried to put me onto the books a few years ago and I couldn't get into it. Wife loves the books though - she blew through the first 4 in 6 months.
Generalizing about an entire genre like that is dumb.
Fish pie then.
