    Will Ezekiel Elliott be in the league for more than 2 years?

    I just hope I live long enough to see all the negativity about weed go the way of the dodo... It's been approved to be used/tested in PTSD therapy... that alone should raise some eyebrows about the negative connotations associated with it. If it weren't placed on the schedule one list who's to...

    The AP Preseason Top 25 (Official)

    I do somewhat recall them having some close games... guess I missed those details in the end-game roundup. Do SEC folks figure them to compete for the title or are the usual suspects still more likely? LSU/Dawgs/Fla/Auburn/Miss... Bama of course.

    The AP Preseason Top 25 (Official)

    I haven't been following programs as much as I used to... what's brewing up on Ol' Rocky Top that has the Vols in the Top 10?

    Al Pacino vs. Robert De Niro

    Nice list, but you've never seen Cape Fear w/De Niro, Nolte & Juliette Lewis? De Niro played Max Keady very well. Pacino is very good at delivering rants or speeches, though by no means am I saying he can't be diverse... but his 'speeches' in And Justice For All, Scarface, Heat, Any Given...

    Would you guys want me to create an updated Notre Dame Picture for the Header?

    Don't forget about the man who started it all! ;)

    Who do you think starts at QB against Texas?

    Perhaps I mis Perhaps I worded that poorly... not insinuating MZ is a jitterbug, just that Kizer seems even less so. We haven't seen enough of Zaire yet to really know. I'm fine with either on starting.

    Who do you think starts at QB against Texas?

    Well aside from the QB battle... what kinda personnel on D does Texas have? Strong against the run/pass? Matchups could help dictate the start here along with nerves of the first game. ND almost always comes out tense or whatever in game one... you rarely see a first drive TD. By the second...

    what on Earth is wrong with the Yankees?

    Well, even when the Boss was alive the Yankees have had their issues with former greats. Just look at Yogi for one example. The way they let Bernie go, even Posada, kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe they as individuals and as an organization they're trying to turn that 'trend'...

    MLB's Issue in popularity

    A few years back I read an article about the lack of black youth being exposed to the game via little league and the like... so they wanted to foster interest as a lot of players are coming from Latino countries. Yet, I've seen little movement there and it seems like everyone expects you to...

    MLB's Issue in popularity

    Not just the marketing, but their choices in broadcasters. Used to be able to see a Saturday game or two on the three main networks, now nothing. If you don't have ESPN or the FoxSports regional cable channels, forget about baseball. I have had MLB.TV and it was decent for watching my team...

    Fox Sports: Notre Dame Football should join the ACC by 2018

    It may be inevitable, but as long as we can not join a conference, the better. Our rivalry games would suffer and probably have to go on a rotation basis, and ND is loathe to break the yearly match with Navy... as they should be. If it happens it does... however the caveat here would be that...

    Game Thread: ND Guess that Stat Game 2015: Live Thread

    Arrr, I'll be ready... looks like a lot of turnover on offense! No just picking Fuller FTW this year, or Smith either. What are the predictions... 3 losses this year?

    Game of Thrones

    My hunch is he'll do what he did in the books, only before he was stabbed: he named Thornier First Ranger and it might just be time for ol' Ser Alliser to go ranging... and see the greater threat with his own eyes. If he lives, he'll probably be on board with Jon, if he dies... well Jon or some...

    Game of Thrones

    The show's poor backstory development is to blame here. In the books Hodor is believed by some to be a descendant of Ser Duncan the Tall from the Dunk & Egg novellas. Dunk is believed to be decsended from the race of giants, through a coupling with a First Men female, possibly Old Nan...

    Game of Thrones

    Braavosi routinely duel on the docks... in fact wearing steel on your person is an invitation to be challenged to 'the water dance'. Syrio Forsooth was a former Braavo, but the show has done their typically fantastic job at not explaining subtleties that book readers pick up on but show only...

    Game of Thrones

    It is a crisis of faith, but her necklace and more precisely the ruby within it is the source for her glamour. The show butchered continuity from her bathtub scene with Selyse where she didn't have the necklace on, or we're supposed to believe that Selyse at that point was such a believer she...

    Game of Thrones

    The Green Grace hasn't been formally introduced in the show but in the first two shown attacks by the sons, they show an apparent whore giving solace to unsullied right before the one gets his throat slit and the other killed in the attack that Ser Grandfather happened on leading to his death...

    I actually had that playing in one ear with the platoon comms in the other during Desert Storm (Bradley Gunner).

    The Walking Dead

    Not the most hardcore viewer, I came late and binged watched to catch up. I do like the show but don't know anything about the comics other than they've diverged from the way it plays out, which makes sense to me, otherwise anyone who has would know exactly how things are going to go. I voted...

    Sounds awesome! Just hoping for no serious injuries as a result... can we have one year where all projected starters etc, come away healthy for week 1? Perty please?

    Basketball tournament thread

    Yeah UConn women have been like the Duke men, just dominating or in it year after year. Would love to see the Irish seriously take a NC in baketball, men or women. Agree, Muffster is a damn good coach, so many times the team has been on the brink.... one for McGipper?! :p

    Basketball tournament thread

    How can you not be a fan of Muffy McGraw? If she can get those young ladies over the hump just once! First it was Tennessee and uhh... what's her name... their coach... then it was and continues to be UConn. Would be a bit ironic if the ladies finally win it after Skylar left, didn't she...

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my mom, coaches, staff, my agent, my statistics teacher and all my fans out there for a wonderful season! The two-a-days back in August really set the stage for my stamina during a long and grueling season of ups and downs... Oh who am I kiddin?! It...
