Game of Thrones Theme by Cats
Game of Thrones Watch the Throne
Jay-Z and Kanye West's long-awaited collaboration, Watch the Throne, debuted on Monday. In the two days since, we've listened to it very closely. At first, we were all like, "Hey, that's pretty good, plain and simple" but as the listens mounted up, we noticed something odd. We're just going to come out and say it: Possibly Watch the Throne is an undercover homage to the HBO adaptation of George R.R. Martin'sGame of Thrones? Look, we're not saying it's quite on the "sync Dark Side of the Moon with the Wizard of Oz and watch some crazy shit happen" level, but Ho and 'Ye may, in fact, whisper "Winter is coming!" to psych each other up before a show. (Or, maybe, they just watch HBO.) Please, take a look at the track-by-track evidence of the connection between the two (note, it contains spoilers from the first book in the series and the TV show):

Chris Kluwe Responds to Anti-Gay Politician
I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won't come into your house and steal your children. They won't magically turn you into a lustful cockmonster. They won't even overthrow the government in an orgy of hedonistic debauchery because all of a sudden they have the same legal rights as the other 90 percent of our population—rights like Social Security benefits, child care tax credits, Family and Medical Leave to take care of loved ones, and COBRA healthcare for spouses and children. You know what having these rights will make gays? Full-fledged American citizens just like everyone else, with the freedom to pursue happiness and all that entails. Do the civil-rights struggles of the past 200 years mean absolutely nothing to you?

Florida State Favored by 70
If you go with No. 6 Florida State in Saturday's game (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN3) against lowlySavannah State, you'll be starting with a 70½-point deficit.
That's right, SEVENTY AND A HALF!
"Without a doubt," said Mike Colbert, vice president of risk management for Las Vegas-based Cantor Gaming, "this is the biggest line I've put up in 10 years doing this."
The line later dropped to 69½ points Friday night.
