  1. new deal with China to show programs on streaming television. Signed their first Chinese born wrestler also.
  2. Shrek 1 & 2 were tremendous. 2 was just awesome and hilarious. So much in there for the "parents". LOVE the gingerbread man.
  3. Anyone else watching OJ: Made in America? Its a 5 part documentary, each episode is two hours long. It's exhaustive exploring OJ from childhood and the environment that impacted him, such as the racial issues in Los Angeles at the time. Its tremendous. Very dense with information. I was watching Episode 2 yesterday and I thought it was probably half over when I went to FF through the commercial and it was only 20 minutes in. Its really really deep. And fascinating. Also seeing a lot of footage and interviews not seen in other shows about the OJ case. And some great historical perspective on racism in the LAPD, why the riots happened, how the police responded etc. How OJ never got involved in the black community and didnt consider himself black, was the first black man at certain country clubs etc. His relationship with the police and how they covered up his abuse of Nicole. Highly recommended. Its an ESPN production and will surely be the definitive documentary of the totality of OJ's rise and fall.
  4. I think Dallas would be interested too but they'd have to unload at least one of their goalies and the Pens wont be taking that salary back. Just clicking around some Fleury speculation I see the Jets as an outside possibility. I wouldnt hate that at all. But not likely. As for Calgary, the fans want the #6 pick which wont happen unless the Pens throw in more. But I've seen Frolik speculated since the Pens were interested in him. That would be a solid return for the Pens who already have depth at forward although they should probably get some D help.
  5. Treasure Island was our original choice but the prices changed suddenly. The whole "centrally located" thing isnt a big deal to me although I've never stayed centrally. I've stayed at Luxor and Trop (and soon to be NY NY). So always that southern end. I kind of liked it to be honest. Some friends used to stay there as their go to place because it was luxurious. So they liked it. My buddy once used the bathroom at Wynn and said it was exceptional...lol
  6. the NDP are so dumb. They are up in arms over the PC's reverting back to the requirement to unionize resting on an anonymous vote. Meat heads.
  7. Id like to have Teravainen and would have been thrilled if the Jets had made that trade. But never ever would Tampa trade Drouin for Teravainen. Lemieux and Petan might be worth Drouin...in three years. We dont know what we have there. We have a junior player and an AHL'er who showed nothing in his short sting in the NHL. If you want Drouin, start with the #2 pick and move up.
  8. That was great! Loved hearing an old school coach answer questions and talk football in an off the cuff and insightful way. When it was just the HC, there is a lot of choosing the words carefully and "controlling the message". Very nice to hear the specific coaches discussing their positions. And with such passion.
  9. The Hawks purge begins. Good trade for Carolina.
  10. With the prospect of Stamkos leaving, Drouin is their franchise player of the future. He's not going anywhere.
  11. Well if he did, he didnt have a very good answer prepared.
  12. Chevy is like the Iraqi information minister. Interesting answer to "Are you trading Trouba". He repeated the question which is a trick to buy time while you consider your response. Sounds to me like he wanted to put out information for a reason or there have been talks, not concrete talks maybe. But enough that Chevy didnt want to be a liar if they trade him.
  13. Oh I agree. Rusev is tremendous. And Titus hasnt been properly built up. Before his suspension they were actually doing an old fashioned build for him where he would just win a match every week. And his reactions were growing. Then, if I recall, they had him lose inexplicably....and then the suspension happened. I think they are either trying to rapidly re-build him so he's a decent mid-card guy for the brand split or its just a place holder program until the brand split. Possibly they are "rewarding" him for taking his suspension like a champ. Working with Rusev at house shows and PPV will mean a few extra bucks in his pocket.
  14. Let's not give the Liberals a pass. For starters they are the current government. Trudeau blamed the victims after the Boston bombing. They refused to acknowledge the acts of ISIS and, in fact, applauded defeat of motion to do so. Affleck is very outspoken on this issue. Sharia Law. There are examples of the push for this and in some cases, implementation throughout Canada.
  15. Titus is pretty good. And great PR.
  16. Yeah that part is weird. Vowing allegiance to ISIS, shouting what he did, supporting suicide bombers. I mean, are these coincidences? Was he lying about these things in an effort to set ISIS up? Come on... He likely had multiple motives. Multiple things drove him to this. Anger, self loathing, insanity, devotion to radical Islam, hatred of gays, self doubt over his own homosexuality...who knows. But by his own words he was radicalized.
