    Yes. The government was shut down and there were not staff to prepare a meal. The government has since reopened and the President served fast food to both North Dakota State for their FCS championship and to the Baylor Women's team. 

    It's not "cloak room" to acknowledge that politics and sports will inevitably intersect. There are things happening in sports that are directly related to politics and the President. That's a fact. ESPN can say they're staying out of politics, but are they going to completely ignore the Kaepernick story? Are they going to completely ignore when a team that wins a major championship decides not to attend a White House ceremony with the President, or is served Chick fil A and Burger King? These are questions about things that are happening and not a commentary on the President. Y'all should stop being so thin-skinned.

    These people aren't complaining about there being politics ,they are complaining that ESPN isn't supporting their side.

    Just another minor detail, those dumb fucks paid no attention to was that Brienne was sworn to stay and protect the Stark girls. It makes no sense that she's Captain of the King's Guard. She should've been up north with Sansa. Let Podrick have his moment down south.

     

    She got promoted to the Kings Guard which is the highest honor for a knight

    Royal Ivey was a no-star recruit who went to a fine arts HS to dance. He's now the UT record holder for starts and tournament games played, and a tenured NBA vet and respected NBA coach.

    PJ Tucker grew up in North Carolina yet didn't receive any ACC offers. He was named the Big XII POY and was also an All American his sophomore year.

    Isaiah Taylor was a low 3* whose only other offer was San Jose State and he went on to be named 1st team All Conference at PG ahead of Frank Mason and Jevon Carter, and also ended up in the NBA.

    Jordan Bone was a 3* being recruited by Chattanooga and La Tech. He went on to be first team All Conference, a finalist for the Cousy award his junior year, and is now a soon-to-be early entry NBA draft pick. 

    Admiral Schofield was an overweight tweener who was about to commit to Wisconsin - Green Bay when Rick offered him at Tennessee. Went on to be an All American and two-time All-SEC player.

    Grant Williams was being recruited by Hampton and Appalachian State when Barnes offered him at Tennessee. Went on the be a two-time SEC POY, two-time All American, and a Naismith Award finalist.

    Nobody threw a party whenever Rick Barnes recruited these guys, and yet look at that success. And that says nothing of the myriad of other role players who weren't highly recruited- your Paulino's, Atchley's, Jordan Bowden's, and Doj Balbay's.

     Barnes is among the best in the country when it comes to taking no-name recruits and getting the most out of them. Not that that should be news to anyone here.

    He was also among the best at taking name recruits and getting the least out of them.

    While I would have loved to see LSH, it's clear the one character the show missed out on is fAegon. Seems like he's going to fill the Cersei role of ruling King's Landing in the books, but I can see why they thought he may not have been important until it was far too late to introduce him. 

    Young griff will obviously fill the role of turning Dany mad.  Everyone will love him even tho his claim is fake and Dany will sacrifice 2 children and half her army to protect them from the dead. Combine that with Jon being revealed as a true targ and everyone loving him.  That will drive her offer the edge and she'll burn the city in retaliation 

  5. Interesting analysis of where GoT went wrong

    The show did indeed take a turn for the worse, but the reasons for that downturn goes way deeper than the usual suspects that have been identified (new and inferior writers, shortened season, too many plot holes). It’s not that these are incorrect, but they’re just superficial shifts. In fact, the souring of Game of Thrones exposes a fundamental shortcoming of our storytelling culture in general: we don’t really know how to tell sociological stories.
