Pete, that is awesome! Did you have to watch and phone in the secret code words during an episode?

I'm ready for tomorrow night!

Yep, they had it for the first 4 Fear the Walkng Dead episodes - I did it for both my wife and myself each week. Got an email last Monday letting me know I had won tickets for me and a guest to attend.

Nice. Always happy to hear real people actually win.

I was just thinking about something after the finale - how did an intelligent, extremely savvy, able-bodied multi-millionaire end up in the prison for junkies, psychos and dead-meat? A prison that's nowhere near his mansion and yacht? In what universe does that begin to make sense?

I'm guessing he's a response to the fact that the first three (two?) African-American actors were killed off and that it was mocked as old-school mentality towards African-American actors, notably in zombie movies. That it doesn't make any sense is completely irrelevant, what we now have is a key character that is African-American.

I recognize it's not politically correct to point that out, but I'd gamble that's the reason he's on there and he'll survive quite a while.

Assuming stattracker is correct, congrats to Scott on the win.

On the Ichiro comment: lol.

Though we got league average goaltending overall last year from Pav and Hutch, we're probably one of the teams that could actually use him. Don't get your hopes up though, won't happen. Hutch is dirt cheap and Pav is not, but the Jets have shown no indication of doing anything with Pavelec other than playing him.

Two more years of him I'm afraid.

Pleased with our minor league guys in Hellebuyck and Comrie though.

If you guys could go ahead and let Backstrom look awesome so it increases his trade value, that'd be swell, thanks!

Thanks, Jets - I knew you guys would come through for me!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that scouts recognize it was neither teams A lineup.

Saw this on Twitter -

Bloody Sunday: 87% of @YahooFantasy Survival picks bit the dust with Saints, Dolphins, Ravens, Rams & Titans losses

Might get a bigger chunk yet tonight with the Jets possibly pulling off the win.

Help me out here: when Madison was hiding under the car, wasn't that a zombie? I didn't notice any head wounds but thought the eyes were funked out. Might just be me over-interpreting.

Kind of hoping the ******bag drug addict gets disappeared. Check that. Really hoping.

Here we go - heading to the Wild/Sabres pre-season game tonight! Can't believe it's hockey season already.

I'm excited to see the Eichel kid and then the 3-on-3 OT session. I know it's just pre-season, but him and McDavid were so hyped, it'll be interesting to see one of them in person finally.

Already? I was thinking finally. State of hockey. Pfft.

Curious to see if McDavid makes the road trip to Winnipeg on Friday as that's my first game. Got some weird team here tomorrow night but I'm not going. 18 games this year. So far.

Hmm, y'all must be too young to remember him, but Daryl Dawkins passed away this week.

He was a joy to watch play. Breaking backboards and whatnot

Not a good thing to be from that 76ers championship team: Moses Malone goes next. It was a really enjoyable era in basketball.

Not sure if Jackie Collins quite qualifies, but she passes away as well

That barber is the best character so far. "Good people are the first to die." He would fit in well with Rick and Co.

I think the Mom's "distant, concerned stare" is going to become a meme similar "stuff n thangs," "CORAL," and "M'ask you sumthin."

I like the barber best as well, though I think his "weak" comment is going to come back to haunt him very shortly. His wife is done.

Enjoyed this one a little more. Starting to get there, but still much confusion. Don't think the intervention of the military is going to be a positive experience.
