  1. I can't imagine Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, & ESPN being thrilled about an Eagles- Cardinals NFC Championship game. Joe has to be absolutely sick of winning Philadelphia teams, considering he just had to call the World Series. Anyone who says he wasn't rooting for the Rays to beat the Phillies didn't watch the World Series. I don't know what it stems from, but Joe Buck seems to have an unnatural hatred for all things Philadelphia.
  2. I was watching Doomsday the other day and i was thinking if they do Catwoman for the next movie Rhona Mitra would be great in that role.
  3. I'm reading through Vince's interview. Pretty good stuff. His hostility is great. "Well Nobody is trying to penalize anyone" "Then I would expect a gold star on my lapel when I leave this room" and won't endear him to the Government. Q. You didn't admit to using steriods? Mr. McDevitt - He didn't even testify in his trial. He didn't have to testify in his trial. We whipped the government's ass in 19 days without putting a witness on. Get your facts right. He didn't testify in the trial.
  4. J.C. Romero reportedly is being suspended 50 games for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. Romero said on Monday that he bought a supplement from a GNC store and that he was cleared to take it by the Phillies' training staff. He actually tested positive in late September, but he took the case to arbitration, allowing him to pitch in the postseason and World Series. Source: ESPN.com
  5. I saw it, and I won't say it's perfect, but I really enjoyed it a lot. It did drag in a few parts but for a movie close to 3 hours, it went by pretty quick for me. Hell, Seven Pounds dragged much more then this, and it was only about 2 hours. Loved all the acting. This was probably one of Brad Pitt's best acting in quite some time I think Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Taraji P. Henson all deserve Oscar nominations. They really are the glue that held this movie together.

  7. does anyone know if the winner of Rey/Punk faces Regal tonight, or will that be done on Raw?
  8. Robin's having Blauman's baby, HA!
  9. I wonder how many people who thought Terry should of died for being a snitch will think the same for Vic? Ronnie CAN fuck countless people over on his way down (and would probably be helped by Claudette and Dutch, both of which are too honest to bend over for the LAPD/ICE and lie to cover up Vic's crap) and possibly swing himself a sweetheart of a deal so that he's out in three years, enough time for him to come up with his own revenge plan to destroy Vic's children, Corrine, and Danny. As for credibility, given what happened to Lem and Shane and Vic's own double-crossing of Ronnie, I don't think anyone would question Ronnie's credibility is exposing the corruption of Vic Mackey, the Strike Team, and their enablers. If anything, in the event he was tossed to the wolves as far as being sent away for life (perhaps in a "agree to life with no parole, or go to trial and get the death penalty" bit of cohercement from the DA) he could make the case that his imprisonment for life was done SPECIFICALLY to bury him and keep him from telling the truth about the corruption inside the LAPD that he was a part of, and of Vic Mackey's crimes and his escaping punishment via the government giving him immunity. Hell, this alone makes me wish to god we get a "The Shield" movie since Shawn Ryan could get a great story out of Vic Mackey versus Ronnie Gardocki, on a murderous rampage to end all murderous rampages to destroy everyone Vic ever loved. You don't even need to go heavy into the show's backstory either, to sell it to non-fans of the show: Vic is a corrupt ex-cop who years earlier sold out his partner to the Feds for immunity and a chance to go from a lowly city cop to an undercover detective for the FBI. Ronnie, the shy yet loyal partner who's hero worship of Vic led him down the path of corruption, was sent to jail and martyred in Vic's place. While Ronnie rotted away in prison, where he was raped and abused and dreamed of revenge, Vic ended up being bounced from ICE after a couple of years due to the fact that his new bosses were appalled when they found out how corrupt he was and how he hornswaggled them into hiring him. Now years have passed and Ronnie has gotten out of jail and wants revenge against Vic for betraying him. And does he ever as far as Ronnie murdering Vic's estranged ex-wife and the three children he had with her and going after Vic's former girlfriend Danny (who's son by Vic is now being raised by Danny and her husband, the by-the-books detective Dutch Wagenbach) and Vic's new girlfriend. Which in turn causes Vic to take matters into his own hands as far as hunting Ronnie down himself and the cat and mouse game that ensues as the two men go after each other while Dutch tries to find Ronnie before he can kill Danny and his adopted son, as LA Mayor, Senate hopeful and former police Captain David Acaveda and LAPD Police Captain Claudette Wyms, struggle over the public relations nightmare that would happen if the motive behind Ronnie's rampage and Vic's crimes became public knowledge.
  10. Walton Goggins already has another job. Pilots: AMC Locks Up 'Shield' Star
  11. Cameron & Cuddy as Valley girls
  12. Did anyone notice, when Shane was talking to his lawyer, the missing cat poster on the side of the payphone? I don't know if that was intentional, but if it was, I thought it was a nice sly nod to Dutch killing the cat a few years ago.
  13. explain... I love Terminator. Huge T1 and T2 fan. And I feel like what I love most about it is being destroyed. Sarah's dreams having meaning (still think that one's possible). John being wrapped up in machines, having no people, no connections, not being healthier than his mother. In T2, he was teaching the Terminator to be a person - he didn't grow away from people, but brought Uncle Bob closer. John Connor as humanity's savior and making those right choices that I loved. Now he's ruined, if this is true. He's disconnected from humanity, he's hurting instead of helping, not valuing individuals. I expect people to die in the war against the machines, but their lives being thrown away is just unacceptable. If, in any reality, John Connor is how Jesse makes him sound, then they've ruined him. My enthusiasm level has plummeted. I've gone from optimistic about the season/show/franchise to depressed. Hopefully that will change soon, or else I won't keep watching. You ruin John Connor (including FutureJohn) and you ruin Terminator. Nothing left worth anything.

  15. Was not at all expecting Riley reveal. Just thought she was annoying and kind of dumb. Now, it's kind of awesome that she's from the future and working John for Jesse. If what Jesse says about Future John is true, they are ruining the character for me - going exactly where I hoped they'd never go. I hate it.
  16. I heard that Chiklis gave away the fate of Mackey in an interview over the weekend? Did anyone see that interview?
  17. Andy Reid didnt have the balls to tell McNabb that he was benched he found out from the QB Coach
  18. Jeff Hardy never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
  19. I was hoping for a psychotic episode from Claudette, complete with her barging into the room where Vic was confessing and beating Vic nearly to death while yelling "YOU DON'T GET TO DO THIS! YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY SCOTT FREE!!!!!" like a woman possessed.
  20. The Sylar/Elle scenes were fantastic. There are elements of the actual story I don't much like, but the execution was brilliant. Props to ZQ and KB, and to the effects guys. Anybody else getting a Buffy season 5 endgame vibe? Arthur = Glory. Claire = The Key
  21. So, anyone want to guess who or what ultimately brings Vic down? Maybe we should put it to a vote or odds or something. Dutch has been set as the anti-Vic for so long I hope its him. My guess is he gets the truth out there but that doesn't result in Vic in jail due to something (deals, cover-up, the Feds wanting his connection, etc) else occurring. 1:1 on this, as its cynical and fits the show's mission statement the best and is true to the characters. Bonus odds - Ronnie executes Vic after Vic gets "away" with it as stated, assuming that Vic must have made a deal that will put Ronnie in jail. 3:1 for this part after the "taught me everything I know" line. Cassidy, now redeemed, doesn't kill Vic but is instead collateral damage in some plan on the part of someone to take Vic out. Vic turns himself in and takes everyone down with him. Corrine may finish him off. 2:1 as Vic actually realizing what he has done instead of always putting the blame elsewhere (even with Lem, its never been his fault he got Lem into this whole world) would be a shock, plus it leaves no one unscathed (Shane, Ronnie, Acaveda, etc). Would Danny pull the trigger on Vic in the future if he pays a visit and pushes for the kid? 5:1 and would require a flashforward, combined with the Dutch/deal scenario. The lack of Danny is just odd at this point...I don't like this idea but she is so out of the loop it seems like we should be surprised when she comes back - possible twist? Acaveda in a rage after his campaign and career is ruined by Vic talking. 5:1 - but only if David follows by eating his gun as well. What if Olivia had some connection to Terry we are unaware of? I'd accept an Olivia twist if she had been a partner (job or personal) of Terry's, but not that this was a sting on him. 10:1 only as it could be too cliched, but would be a twist. Mara shoots Vic, while Shane is trying to "work it out" or can't pull the trigger on Vic. 20:
  22. Watched mostly the flashbacks, but I gotta say this: How cool was it that they put Anthony Edwards not in with the guest stars, but as HEADLINING THE REGULAR CAST?
  23. http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffa...lloway-thailand I have always thought that Natalee wasnt killed but that she was sold as a slave in some country.
