Cards13

Not heard of it DA, will have to have a look for it. Started watching Rectify last Thus nights on SBS. Aden Young (look out for Metal Skin and old 90's movie. Very dark) is a guy who comes off death row, escaping the death penalty on a technicality. it is about him trying to assimilate back into a society that has changed in 15 years he has been in jail and a community with people wanting to hurt him, people totally unsure and a family scared by the experience to date.

Watched Sarah's Keyast weekend... French flick of a lady who learns some things about her family apartment during WW2 and the people who used to live there and what happened to them. Gut wrenching. House of Cards the Netflix series with Kevin Spacey is on the go at present. Interesting series about politics in Washington. Has its moments, I get horrified of what people are capable of doing for themselves rather than the people who elected them and the pressures applied by lobbiest, interest groups and these so called not for profit organisations.

Flower gone now KP has been told he will never, ever be selected for any England team again... Total and utter devestation dealt to the Poms in the tour down under this summer... loved it!!!

Well now the NFL is over time to concentrate back on the hockey. Avs still hanging around and all but assured of a play off spot. How much damage they can do is a different story. Plenty of goals has been the theme of the season to date, plenty for and plenty against. While Varlamov looks like a top line met minder the rest of the D lets him get to many looks at a puck. We can score plenty on our night but look to still be a year or two from serious contention. Here is hoping the rest of the season is fun and we can maybe get close to a first round play off win that would show some real development.

Obviously haven't seem the end of the thread and missed the sad news. It is such a horrible disease and what it does to people and their families. Having recently seen someone else go through it and had major issues with health professionals I can understand Twos frustrations with the health systems and then the optimism and hope of the maybe they will get through. RIP Two sheds, my old Dad (who was a mad Dees man), my wife's mum and dad.

So you don't watch many Melb games then.. Tackling?

Well done Arrow, just an a really good defensive team who were spread across the board with talent. Broncs relying on the Pey Pey who without a running game it was like lambs to the slaughter.

Sad face....

Deep fried mars bars and buffalo wings?? Gaaahhhh at work!!!! G is kickoff scheduled for 10am on the dot? I hear it has been an absolute disater in ghetting to the stadium.... http://deadspin.com/taking-the-train-to-the-super-bowl-is-a-disaster-1514454130 http://deadspin.com/scenes-from-the-super-bowl-transit-nightmare-1514479871

Macca just nervous, I know Peyton has had a good season but I just keep thinking the schedule was soft and the Hawks are number 1 on D. In saying that the Hawks schedule hasn't been that tough either but they beat the 9's (even if they were sore) who have a decent offense. CBH I think you may be correct, as I. The best running game will get over the top. The mode has been ok without being outstanding of late and the Moreno and co have been the same. If one of those can break out it will decide it... Or the defences or the QB's or... Or... So many variables!! Broncs 27 - Hawks 14

Not long to go now... getting excited!!! Too bad I will be at work trying to watch it.

Did see that. $25k for Hartley is interesting more than Torts suspension (was always going to get a holiday) in that it sends a message that starting the fightin line is not accetable any more. Good!

Arrow that is the thing in virtually every sport you will see, when it is best D vs best O the best D tends to win. In saying that we have only come up against 1 good defence in the Chiefs, we did beat the Chiefs twice this year .... But our D in the 3 losses this season have allowed 27, 34 and 39 points, that is my worry along with the Hawks D being so good physically and being able to break up passes. Do the Hawks have enough offence to match Peyton? Can Harvin make a difference, he looked good in his limited game time 2 weeks ago.... Good luck Arrow. Macca, Bellyache is a goose who only sees it one way, his way.

As a Broncs fan I'm very worried about the Hawks D. I just have a feeling there pressure on the recievers might be a little too much for us. I know Manning is so clinical especially after coming out after half time but he doesn't have the zip he once did and I just don't know if he can work the number 1 defence enough. If we can get more yards on the ground than Beast Mode can we are in with a shot. Another telling point will be Harvin. If Harvin can come back and play then Hawks have a huge boost in the passing game that opens up running lanes.

At least you know Torts has your back as the coach. Here is hoping Flames win in OT on a poor call just so we can see an amazing press conference. It will be his last for a few games...

Flames v Canucks, 2 seconds into the game a full line brawl. Canucks coach going nuts, tries to get into the other teams liner room during the first period break. Nuts. I don't get the fighting in hockey, it doesn't make sense to me...

I don't get the whole fighting thing in general and that was pathetic! The refs should have stopped it and his team mates, 3rd man in rule or not should have stopped it. The commentators... Idiots. "This is about getting so fire, we're getting waxed on the score board but this is getting fired up for tomorrow...." WTF? How about you do it on the ice playing where you were getting smashed 7-0 you soft c ocks. My old mate Downie was at stretchered off I see.. Goose. Varly played last night... Don't like it but the whole innocent until proven guilty thing I guess.

.... Well so much for the season.... Good to see Roy is teaching his goalies all his skills. varlamov-avalanche-arrested-domestic-assault http://nhl.si.com/2013/10/30/semyon-varlamov-avalanche-arrested-domestic-assault/?sct=hp_t2_a6&eref=sihp

I may be getting oldt and struggling to get over the injuries but I did get over that one a little bit ago, in saying that keep em coming. Some of you guys are movie nuts.

What dreams may come. Robin Williams flick about what happens next and finding someone who is lost. I'm atheist but loved this movie. Couple of Werner Herzog flicks: Into the abyss, is a doco about death row, not preachy just giving you the facts and leaving it up to you too decide. Cave of forgotten dreams, is about a cave found in France with cave paintings that were dated to be twice as old as any other cave paintings ever found, was amazing.

Hahaha that is great! Kudos Thornton. It's just a game, the kid is really good and was having fun, best way to stop it is be a better team and not allow him to "show boat". I do hope teams don't go out targeting him now (of course they will).Edit: just had a lookie loo to see the below, controversial hit on Hertl. It wasn't a huge cheapy but did get him high. "Tomas Hertl was held off the scoresheet during the Sharks' 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. He recorded three shots on goal and was also on the receiving end of a controversial hit from Canucks defenseman Alex Edler."

Avs 4-0.... I know, I know! It is only 4 games into a looonnggg season and we are a young team and we started the last 2 seasons ok before dive bombing into rubbish town but good start.

Wowza!! Nice hands

Pants, go Broncs... Gee wizz you know they can score, especially after half time, but sh I t the defence is such a worry and has been for years. Seeing Elvis D getting a sack and QB pressure against Miami was annoying.

There you go, 3-1 Avs. Downie being a goose most of the game, only Avs player to sit in the penalty box... 5 times during the game and lost his hearing aid.
