Off Topic II

I don't see why NO "deserves" a franchise... it's a relatively small, impoverished city, and the team plays second-fiddle to the Saints and always will. If they can't support it, they should move it to Seattle. It's the biggest media market without an NBA team, and in a few years a new stadium might be more palatable.

Katrina says hi. Only reason they're still in New Orleans. Like I said in the other topic, give New Orleans a D-League team and let them work towards selling out those games before awarding them an NBA franchise.

[Walt Cronkite]

You guys have been watching The Walking Dead, right?

[dmutombo321]

^ Yeah, I'm pretty impressed. High production values and great scripting.

AMC's other dramas Mad Men and Breaking Bad are also phenominal. The network has the best collective ensemble of dramas on television.

[fatlever]

what the hell is the walking dead? do i need to add to my dvr/netflix list? what is it about? how many seasons?

[penquin11]

Same sounds like a beasty show....

Yea, AMC runs the cable dramas. I have a few friends that say Rubicon is really good too, but I haven't seen that one. I'll catch up on Mad Men someday. Breaking Bad is one of my top shows for sure.

What do you think of the writers getting fired from TWD? I think it's obviously bad for the guild, but it might not be so bad of an idea for the series going forward to do the freelance thing I've read about. I don't think much will change, the dudes in charge seem to be pretty hands on.

Boardwalk Empire I enjoyed a lot. I'm a big Buscemi fan. HBO has a lot of good shows running right now, crazy to think how fast they bounced back from a few years ago when Sopranos was going off the air and people were saying the network was dead.

No love for FX? I mean, they've dropped off a bit post-Shield but Always Sunny + Justified + Sons of Anarchy is one hell of a combo.

HBO started going downhill when I noticed Real Sex coming on less and less.

[Walt Cronkite]

I watch Always Sunny, but not the other ones. So much interesting television, only so much free time.

Frank Darabont is a genius whose body of work speaks for itself. He'll still have ultimate creative control so if he sees fit to replace some of his staff with freelancers, I doubt he has any concerns about it compromising the integrity of the scripting; I definitely agree that its unlikely much will change.

While we're agreeing, Let's Push the Detonator Already

Player A. Less turnovers and more assists.

I'm assuming that Player A is our boy DJ.

And I assume Player B is Darren Collison?

[Diop]

For all the Aussies on the board, Patty Mills is getting the start tomorrow for Portland!
Will be exciting to see how he fairs against Nash. He will probably get killed, but good luck to him.

Miller needs to get suspended more.

The Knicks should tradle for Patty. He would be a perfect back up there.

Either that or the Kings should trade for him and start Patty at the 1 and Evans at the 2 with Evans playing a Kobe type roll on offense.

[BigSlam]

Rank these newly formed small/big combo's from top to bottom:

Aroyo and Bosh
Rose and Boozer
Felton and Amare
Collison and Hibbert
DJ and Nazzy
Wall and McGee
Kidd and Chandler
D.Will and Al Jefferson
Curry and Lee
Bledsoe and Griffin

Rank them 1 - 10 for this season and then 1 - 10 for the future.
