Among it being one of my favorite periods of history, I find the liberal use of the word "turd" amusing.

Anyone play any of their stuff? I love strategy games and I'm kind of in a love hate relationship with them because of their unending DLC trains for Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II (although I think Holy Fury might be the last for CK II given the scope).

Watched the first two seasons and liked them a lot. Didn't realize the third was out ?

Seemed to work for us in 1980. Personally I'm rooting for US and Finland.

Presumably only teams in the top division would be eligible for the playoff bracket that eventually leads to the Superbowl, but the bottom league could have its own playoffs that then have a bearing on promotion. In the English football (soccer) system for example, the top 2 teams in the table for EFL Championship (the second highest division) get promoted to the English Premier League automatically, while spots 3 through 6 have a playoff to decide who gets the last promotion spot.
The cool thing about this kind of system imo is that you could extend it indefinitely to lower and lower level teams so that theoretically a team from the middle of nowhere could eventually make it to the top. Or the Browns could go all the way to the bottom and people in Cleveland (who haven't already) would become Steelers fans when it came to the top league.

So basically the Browns would never matter. Not that they really do anyway.

I’m not sure I get the concept.

I'd be ok with having a standings table and then picking the playoff teams from the top 12 spots, but I don't think promotion/relegation would be a good idea.

So basically, Belichick is like a Ranger whose favored enemies include beasts but not giants.

Roll Elf next time imo.
Conjuring pizzas and beer would be cool.

Wow. Oregon trail. Much dysentery, so cholera.

That point of Dom's about the 3-way split is a good one, although I don't know why it's an indictment of Brandon so much as TOR. The structural issues severely lessened the potential for eucatastrophe, which is a very important part of epic fantasy.

Yeah, BS just didn't get Mat. I also didn't like how daft and un-Aiel Aviendha seemed when he wrote her. In Brandon's defense, though, I think he got much better at writing Mat by AMoL. Regardless, there is no question that Harriet made the right decision wrt the outriggers. It is what RJ would have wanted.

Been playing Europa Universalis IV for a while. Way too addictive and kind of disturbing because it turns me into an imperialist jerk xD.

Gitara's foretelling was spoken in the present sense and with a great degree of urgency. She actually dropped dead the moment she had finished uttering it. That suggests to me that Rand's birth was, at the very least, extremely imminent. Also, given Tam's account from his feverish ramblings in EotW we know that Rand's birth took place very shortly after the end of the fighting in the Aiel War. As others have pointed out, it's rather immaterial whether or not the foretelling actually took place before the birth or during it. It was still knowledge that Gitara couldn't have known by any normal means and is therefore a "foretelling" as that is what spontaneous, spoken prophecies made by Aes Sedai are called in the Wheel of Time.

IIRC, it's a common but variant spelling, but seeing as the English drop their R's and often pronounce A's with the tongue towards front of the mouth, the pronunciation ends up being about the same. Don't know about Scots/Irish as they tend not to drop their R's. Maybe someone from the British Isles can weigh in.
