  1. I stand corrected. Helaena’s dragon Dreamfyre. I think she’s too basket case-y to command a dragon and fight in a battle right now. But we’ll see. Sunfyre is on the 60 day IL.
  2. So Team Black has 7 dragons, the best navy in Westeros, The North, The Riverlands, and about to gain an 8th dragon and The Vale. Team Green has 1 dragon, probably adding a 2nd dragon next episode, The Triarchy (?), The Reach (sort of), and The West. That’s not an even fight as it currently stands.
  3. That’s a blow and could explain his production last season. We’ll see. I still like his contract given the alternatives that were out there.
  4. The Watch made a pretty compelling case for a Tommy Molto vehicle for Season 2 with Nico and Ray. They correctly pointed out the Savage family was a cancer, and it’s a better show without them in it.
  5. Any show theories on where Otto is? The Reach is not in a good place right now. I’m mildly surprised Gwayne hasn’t been called home.
  6. IMG would have helped for baseball. It might not matter though. Agreed, with your point on the MLB Draft. Many teams, especially the Astros, prefer having the college baseball development and data points.
  7. Well first of all Ms. Griffin, every land contractor is weird AF. I’ve seen it all. Close talkers. Too many personal questions guy. Touches every pregnant ladies’ belly guy. Guy that wears suspenders and a polo. Not so functional alcoholics. Coke heads. Angry, not Ragin’, Cajuns. aggy attoney corps turds. But mostly they’re creepy old dudes that make the better looking females uncomfortable. Your good contractors always leave before you make them employees, and you’re stuck with guys who could never make it through onboarding.
  8. Is there a backstory on why GRRM is speaking out publicly against the show cutting Nettles and Sheepstealer being in the Vale? It’s been maybe a year, and I don’t even remember Nettles in Fire & Blood. Of all the things for him to get pissed about in film adaptions, this is strange.
  9. Regarding Ulf, Tom Bennett is a pretty funny actor and Ulf is a scoundrel. I think he could have been the comic relief the show sorely lacks. Hopefully he carves a Bronn like role.
  10. What did Ms. Randolph connect with in this episode for her to state it was 1 of the best episodes of the franchise? She has 938k subscribers on YouTube, so she appears to be a recapper that people take seriously. Female empowerment perhaps? Rhaenyra finally grabs the wheel and takes control of her faction. The cliff scene with 3 dragons was certainly cool, but this episode wouldn’t make most people’s top 25 lists for the franchise. It’s not even the best episode of the season. Oh well, I won’t dwell on a dumb tweet. Good episode. Everything worked. I wish we had more time for Hammer and Ulf’s backstories, but we mostly get it from their limited scenes.
  11. Buy recommendations for both Green River Barrel Proof and Knob Creek Bourbon X Rye. Green River BP is nothing special, but it’ll beat the doors off of Benchmark Full Proof. KC Bourbon X Rye is pretty interesting, and one of the better blends I’ve tasted.
  12. Filthy business. Mayo gave up Chapo to get his son out of a pinch in Chicago, and Chapo’s son returns the favor. I’ll give Chapo’s son for exercising patience to draw out El Mayo. I’m sure he wanted revenge the second his dad got sent to ADX Florence.
  13. Let me get this straight. Joe Kelly wasn’t on the 2017 Dodgers. He was on the 2018 Red Sox team that fired their manager because of a sign stealing scheme that Kelly was aware of. And yet, he’s become the face of the Cheater Astros campaign. I just don’t get it.
  14. Chas is a lazy fat ass. Trade him please.
  15. Is Surly on Safari bjorked? Tons of pop up ads when I open it.
  16. Whenever I think Skenes outkicked his coverage, I remember he’s the best pitcher in the NL.
  17. Dana and may others, tip of the cap for waiting out Jake from Rake Farm.
  18. What’s the criteria? If a 3 year player gets drafted or a player transfers are they counted against the graduation rate? I would like Texas to make better progress, but I’d imagine there’s a large number of transfers/Sark rebuild roster turnoff built into the percentage.
  19. Teo is the trade that hurts the most. Glad he’s not haunting us.
  20. I had about an hour to kill before an appointment. I wanted to buy a ticket in theaters to help the guy out, so I bought a ticket.
  21. Lady Gaga is my generation’s Streisand. The obvious connections and the talent. Hopefully she’ll do enough films to give the comparison justice. Gaga has attended my church. Not really bragging. She was in Houston I for the Super Bowl, probably staying nearby, and it’s the nicest looking church for a few miles.
  22. Is this a good movie? I’m not sure. I watched half in the theater and half at home. I love and support Westerns. I like Viggo. While I appreciate making a subtle, slow paced film revolving around cinematography, it’s painfully devoid of action. Viggo’s character presents as pretty handy, and we get maybe 2-3 minutes of him showing his craft.
