  1. I finished it up yesterday. It's been awhile since a binge show pulled me that into it that I lost a day. I kept waiting for the kid to turn into Dexter.
  2. Yeah it's seemed our tastes run pretty close so I'm not surprised
  3. About 2 months now with Sling Blue & Hulu. COX Cable who? With Sling Blue I've also got Axis, El Ray, & BBC America which weren't even available on Cox Cable. CBS All Access either just did or is coming out with an annual discounted rate as well. And if you're an American Airlines reward member, if you go through the AA rewards store you can sign up for CBS All Access & get 450 miles after 90 days.
  4. It was the mid 1990's. In the then WWF (now WWE) Razor Ramon aka Scott Hall and Diesel aka Kevin Nash had their contracts coming up for renewal. In those days, wrestling contracts weren't guaranteed. Guys were basically paid on a per show appearance. The bigger the show, like a WrestleMania, the bigger the payday. However, if you didn't land a match on that card you didn't get paid. As Scott Hall's contract was coming up he negotiated with the Number 2 wrestling company at the time, WCW. WCW was owned by Ted Turner whose goal was to displace Vince McManon's WWF at the top of the mountain. Turner had Eric Bischoff running WCW. Bischoff new he needed bigger named talent to make WCW look & grow bigger. Long story short, he started recruiting WWF wrestlers as their contracts were expiring & he started with Hall. Who then talked to his buddy Nash, telling him not only were the days he worked guaranteed but so was the money. The story goes they neither wanted to leave McManon but there was no way McManon could give them guaranteed money as it'd set a precedent to have to give guaranteed money contracts to his other big name talent. Until then guaranteed money was unheard of in pro wrestling. Hall & Nash essentially changed the business. Even though WCW is defunct, McManon now has his talent on guaranteed contracts. Cool story bro but what's this got to do with football? Well, if you're a casual fan, you most likely took the Bruce Allen statement at face value. However once you drill down a little bit into it you'll see its roughly $300,000 difference between their offer and Kirk playing on the tag the next two years. In his radio interview on 106.7 (Part 1 & Part 2) the next day Kirk commented that if you look around the League the Front Office contracts and the Coaching staff contracts are fully guaranteed and he'd like to see the players contracts fully guaranteed. Currently, playing on the Tag gives him that fully guaranteed contract. For a year. So with the Rules of the Tag, he can play on it for a total of three years for three separate guaranteed one year deals. IF Kirk can manage to accomplish a multi year fully guaranteed contract he'll change the business. Just like Hall & Nash did 20ish years ago.
  5. Salvation just started on CBS. First show is free on the CBS All Access App.
  6. Saw the last 6 pack in Kroger & picked it up. Small Town's track record of nailing the taste/flavor of whatever it is they're mimicking has been pretty spot on. First impression is it citrusy & not quite that Mt Dew taste. Maybe closer to a Sun Drop taste, definitely not Mello Yello. After about 3/4 the way through the first one, it hints more towards the Mt Dew taste but that citrus is right there at the top of it.
  7. Sling determines your local area by your billing zip code.
  8. FYI Hulu just added HBO with a free month trial. Since my free month through HBO just ended I'll probably do the same for Game of Thrones. There's The Wire & then there's everything else.
  9. Finally finished Bloodline the other day. Ehhh wasn't as good as the first two seasons. It just couldn't hold my interest especially with the last two episodes. Started Power yesterday. Pretty good so far though it could be a bit grittier. Ghost reminds me a little of Stringer Bell from The Wire.
  10. Nice troll job by Marvel on the 2nd post credits scene in Spider-Man. ?
  11. http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/big-updates-regarding-broken-gimmick On the latest installment of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that The Hardys are in talks with Anthem Media and that Matt & Jeff could be receiving the rights to the “Broken” gimmick soon. Meltzer:“By the way, apparently, The Hardys are real close to the resolution with Anthem. They may be getting the gimmick pretty soon, they’re very close to getting that gimmick.” One-half of the Team Xtreme, Matt, shared on Twitter that “we are days away from winning”. It appears as if we may soon bear witness to; “Broken” Matt Hardy & Brother Nero on WWE TV.
  12. I don't if he was having an off night or didn't do all of his homework or what but JR's commentary on last nights G1 Special was painful at times. It's like he wasn't familiar with the ROH guys at all. He kept calling Jay Lethal's Lethal Injection a "springboard cutter" which technically it is but that's like calling Austin's Stunner a "gut kick & a cutter" or the Dudleys 3D a "flapjack cutter". That said, JR did put over Jay Lethal's rib injury from the attack by the Beer City Bruiser on ROH's TV. After the intermission it seemed JR had time to get his notes together & the second half was better. Funniest line one of the night was after one of the Bucks got pinned in the opening 10 Man Tag "I got a deal with Hot Topic, I can't lose on TV". Kinda thought it would have made better sense to have saved Okada vs Omega II for this show & put Cody in the US Title tournament instead of headlining with Okada vs Cody which was a good match but after watching Okada vs Omega you just realize Omega is on that elite AJ Styles/Shawn Micheals level.
  13. There's talk of Amazon getting into the ISP business which is fine by me since they're already in the server business. In fact ES is on an Amazon server since the last software upgrade.
  14. Sam's Club has the 65 in stock as a 2 pack with the mini 30 mile leaf antenna & they're BOTH amplified & $10 off on sale right now for $50. I just snatched one up as as I now plan on the 65 downstairs on the main tv, using 50 mile gimmick that was downstairs now upstairs in my office with the amplifier & the other 30 miler going to the bedroom tv. Just hoping that the 65 will pick up ABC out of Lynchburg now.
  15. I'm already hooked just because I'm a mark for Billy Bob. Just started the 2nd one. Eventually I'll get around to finishing Bloodline...
  16. Any of you all watched this Billy Bob Thortnon show Goliath on Amazon yet? https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/goliath/s01/
  17. ****ers. http://cordcuttersnews.com/cox-rolling-new-data-caps-13-states/ Cox is Rolling Out New Data Caps in 13 States Do you have Cox as your Internet service provider? If so it is likely you now have a data cap. This week Cox announced that they are rolling out data caps in 13 states that place an arbitrary 1 TB limit on your data. If you go over the 1 TB limit you will be charged $10 for blocks of 50 GB over 1 TB. Here are the new caps on different Cox internet plans: Package Monthly Data Plan Starter 1 TB (1,024 GB) Essential 1 TB (1,024 GB) Preferred 1 TB (1,024 GB) Premier 1 TB (1,024 GB) Ultimate 1 TB (1,024 GB) Gigablast (Where Available) 2 TB (2,048 GB) Wondering what states have the new data cap? Here is the full list: Arizona Arkansas Cleveland, OH Connecticut Florida Georgia Iowa Kansas Las Vegas Louisiana Oklahoma Omaha, NE Sun Valley, ID What to do if you need more? First, check out our guide on how to stay under your data cap. Next, shop around for other Internet services providers in your area. For example, if you have AT&T with a 1TB data cap, look at Toast.net. They resell DSL Internet with US customer support and no data cap.
  18. They could dump him onto 205 Live or maybe repackage him. He'd be perfect as a manager with Carmella if they hadn't already stuck her with Ellsworth. Maybe possibly repackage him as a manager or stable leader with the right guys to work with.? The Ball segment was getting KILLED on the Taz Show this morning. Someone had said they'd rather rewatch the Bailey/Bliss This is your life segment again instead of that mess.
  19. GLOW just hit Netflix. Ten 30 min episodes with some surprising cameos.
  20. Mohu has a 65 mile range OTT antenna coming out soon so it was either WalMart or BestBuy that drastically reduced the price on their 50 mile antenna. And tell you what, the other day as I was getting the monthly bills together it SO nice to not have $165 going out to Cox Cable.
