re: Game of Thrones S4E10 "The Children" Maesters thread SPOILERS!!!
Posted by Circle the Wagons on 6/16/14 at 3:03 pm
I admit it would be harder to pinpoint Rhaeger and Lyanna, but still possible. The first episode of GOT discusses Rhaegar and Lyanna while Ned and Robert are down in the crypts. So it's some of the first information a show-watcher gets; it frames the entire series.
Beyond that, I would just say...

I read the books after watching the first few seasons and I didn't find it hard to speculate about Jon's true parents well before I read the books.
For starters, there's this huge focus from day one on Jon Snow. The question of who is his mother is discussed between Jon and Ned & Ned and Robert. ...
re: Walking Dead spinoff - Carol's mindset - possible spoiler warning
Posted by Circle the Wagons on 11/4/13 at 4:15 pm
There's a difference in Carol's actions and the others mentioned in the thread - she had every opportunity to bring this decision to the group and discuss this action.
The other questionable actions have mostly had a moment-of-truth which meant that not acting would have permanent consequence. ...

Mathews got hurt before most drafts and dropped out of the first round by a good bit. He was expected to miss 2-3 weeks, he came back in Week 3. He had a couple rough weeks but can you really complain about 8-19-8 the last 3? And it looks like he's going to have a good year. He's already ranked ...
re: Is Goodell really to blame?
Posted by Circle the Wagons on 9/25/12 at 1:39 pm
The history of sports commissioners in the U.S., starting with Landis, has not been that they are simply "Yes men" for the owners. This is reflected by the usual long length of service and long contracts.
Every owner can't be involved in negotiations with the refs. Goodell has to spearhead that...
re: The boxing stare down, is it stupid or cool?
Posted by Circle the Wagons on 7/6/12 at 2:59 pm
Depends. The pre-fight, center of the ring, stare-down is not stupid. Though, many fighters look away, or down, now.
A good stare down is part of the sport. The forced, contrived stare downs can't take that away. Was Thomas Hearns' stare-downs stupid? No....

I would if I was a Tenn. fan, there is really nothing in Dooley's resume/experience that makes me think he is in an upgrade. Add to that, the instability caused my the carousel tenure of Kiffin.
There are a lot of factors, outside of coaching, that have put Tenn. at a disadvantage in maintaining...

re: Alabama's first sanctioned boxing event. Wilder wins via KO.
Posted by Circle the Wagons on 2/20/11 at 2:03 pm
Wilder came late to the sport. I think people are going to give him a bit more lee-way in regards to when he steps up the competition.
IMO, his management is being very smart about it. He has a lot of potential but needs to be brought along slowly.

It's exaggerations like these that have caused the backlash against Tyson in regards to his place in boxing history.
