Agree 100%. Now, how about some guaranteed contracts for the richest sports league in North America, Troy?

I think the logic is that the NFLPA wants to set a precedent that the league can’t arbitrarily walk all over them in the disciplinary process. If the commissioner wants to throw a punishment at a player without any rhyme, reason or consistency, they should absolutely fight it tooth and nail. Read more
I am 6’5 ALL legs. For the first portion of the flight I had my legs straight up to my chin on a Spirit flight. On the second leg, I got black out drunk to forget that I was on a Spirit flight. Read more
I once had a pilot who refused to fly unless Spirit got over their cheap asses and changed the worn tire. Every other airline in the country had canceled their flights into Chicago because of a blizzard, but nope, Spirit was going to try to make their pilot land in a blizzard on a bald tire. Read more
Agreed. I think the purpose was to keep it vague to lure you in. i hope the smack us in the face with some dark, twisted violent shit. Like the scene last season at the meth lab. Or the biker scene. I love that shit. I don’t need to try to over think our out think this show. Read more
I understand the barbs thrown at Kluwe mainly for saying “yeah, sometimes it fucking sucks to be young, rich, and wealthy when you have no idea what you’re getting into and what that might potentially mean.” He probably should have worded it a bit differently, but I don’t think he was suggesting that pro athletes in… Read more

Being a Native Californian, I also thought they really showed the true ugly side of California. People have these ridiculously starry-eyed views of California and seem to overlook all the seedy despair that is right under your nose. The drugs, the cults, the crime, the exploitation- California is full of broken dreams… Read more
It’s really patently absurd to expect the rich and famous to be role models. You can make the argument that they should make the effort because their livelihood is entirely based off the public’s desire to pay attention to them as an athlete performing something exciting, but really, they’re the same human beings.

I totally agree. It’s just gone too far to be entertaining. Don’t listen to the jealous clowns. I am a poor person. One of the only fantasy series I’ve enjoyed outside of Robin McKinley and Tolkien are the Song of Ice and Fire/GOT books and shows. I expect Jon Snow will be resurrected. Especially after all of the… Read more
This exactly - if I want to read / watch completely hopeless and existential literature, I can find much better. If I want to watch it, I can find loads more that doesn’t treat women like shit.

The world isn’t 100% evil anymore than it’s 100% good.
By trying to include so much horror the series has clearly skewed away from “gritty realism” and into the comically grotesque.
I laughed my ass off during the Red Wedding, not because contextually it was funny or that I didn’t care about the characters, but it’s… Read more
Exactly. For me the books became boring. Read more
That’s a fair point. ASOIAF/GOT made its name in both media by not pulling punches about how much it sucks to get caught up in the gears of politics or war, but at some point SOMETHING has to go right for somebody just by the law of averages. This is less like brutal realism and more “God is real, and He’s an asshole.”

Exactly! I love nihilism and subversion as much as the next guy; but there’s a reason why How I Won the War only ran for 109 minutes and Catch-22 only went on for 453 pages. The problem is: GoT has mistaken subverting the audience with subverting the genre. I feel as if I’m supposed to be Team Baelish: let them all… Read more
