You are nuts.

Are you seriously telling me he's the best wide receiver ? Right now it's Percy Harvin maybe if he wasn't injured every (frank)ing day he could be the best wide receiver but he's not

This season has been spectacular you should give it a chance
- gerbe75pts



I watched it last season up to when Gordon got put at the mental prison and never watched another episode for some reason. It was just... i don't know.. I just never was GRABBED into it like I have been with other shows like Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, and Sons of Anarchy.

Its all on Netflix now and the newest season is recording on my DVR though.

LW: Pacioretty, Landeskog, Kreider, Abdelkader

RW: Mark Stone, Hornqvist, Gaborik

D: Big Buff, Vatanen, Lindholm, Brodie, Hamonic

G: Luongo, Talbot, Ramo

Thoughts? People who I like on waivers: Wingels and Plotnikov

Ok he's not our best wide receiver our best wide receiver is Percy Harvin we got to stop sticking up for Sammy right now he's a bust what the (frank) has he proved all he does is get injured he's like are Patrick Kaleta

Percy is a deep threat or nothing. he is a Mike Wallace. His ceiling is known.

Watkins is still young and has shown great glimpses. His potential ceiling is much higher than anyone else on the team but if he reaches it is an unknown.

Goalies are kind of your weak point if I say so myself...

You have a lot of good players but besides Tavares.. none are really gonna bury 25+ a year. I like the team on paper though.

He gets double teamed each game and still makes plays.

He's averaging just a hair over 2 receptions per game this year...is he being targeted by defenses??

I'm a big Sammy fan, had him talked up to me the whole time he was at Clemson (co-worker was a huge fan and alumni), but let's not build him up with no background to warrant it yet.

Right. Hits count a lot and I believe assists are worth 2 compared to 3 for goals.

I understand he's not Beckham jr. But he's looking nothing like in elite wide receiver and if you watch Cooper in Oakland you can just see him become an elite wide receiver like a Julio Jones do you see that with Sammy ?

It was too slow for me at most points. Like the villains were just kind of like ehhh and it was like a Law N Order for me... ohh there was a crime... oh they have ot find the guy.. ohh the found him... he is in prison now.

I saw this new season is "The Rise of the Villains" because others thought it was too slow with the main bad guys too.

I'll get back into it at some point I am sure but just have too many other shows going right now to watch. Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, watching Dexter for the first time, watching Blue Mountain State for the first time, American Horror Story, etc.

I don't think he's a bust I'm just mad that he's never playing okay I take back the bust comment maybe I'm just jealous that teams get the elite wide receivers and we're stuck with CJ Spiller's in the world

OBJ is completely figured out now... he is not gonna be the superstar that kids want him to be. he can't take any contact. he is weak. I think he has had like 4 catches in his last 2 games.

I'm telling you right now this has potential of being better than breaking bad someday but this show is way too gory for Fox I think but holy crap this show would be absolutely insane like the best show ever if it was on HBO

I dunno, I found it appealing seeing the different mobs in season 1 go back and forth. Despite the serialization of it (yet you're talking about watching other shows that will do the same), I still found it appealing.

I get you though on needing to be grabbed by something to take interest in it. One of my favorite book series (Wheel of Time) sat unread for a long time because the first time I read the first chapter of it I didn't take to it. Once I tried again, I devoured that series as best I could.

I fell into that with Blacklist too, I think it went away for mid-season break and I didn't watch after. Caught up on it this summer and it was good stuff to return to.
