If I recall correctly, RR Martin has only said that his parents will be revealed. Not that John Snow will ever know who they are. -
No although the Hound is my dark horse candidate. The mystery surrounding John Snow's parents also makes him my second candidate. But this is what I think The prophecy as Melisandre puts it is "“When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt." I think many readers read "born again" then think reborn, and equate that somehow with death. So when the prophecy says that Azor Ahai shall be born again, I don't think that it means someone has to die and be reborn. But in reality, someone only has to be born. So instead of focusing on deaths, I was thinking about births. That is why i think John Snow and the smoke rising from his wounds and the salt from Bowen Marsh's tears are just a misdirection. It is just steam from his wounds and tears of sadness. And also it is a death, not a birth. But again John Snow is my second candidate so maybe it is the prophecy. The first part of the prophecy "when the red star bleeds and darkness gathers", most people equate this with an event that has yet to come or is in the process of happening. But perhaps it is an event that has already taken place. Perhaps the event is a weather related event. Ancient times used stars to try and predict the weather and some ancient communities also thought weather events were caused by the stars and planets themselves. And of course "darkness gathering" could easily be construed as a reference to the darkness of a weather event. Now the second part "Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt". I think this is a place not a metaphor. And there is one place in particular that fits that description. Dragonstone. Dragonstone is a volcanic island off of Blackwater Bay. It has the smoke of it's volcanoes and the salt of the sea. That is why I think the Prince that was Promised isn't a prince but a princess. Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen got that nickname because she was born during a great storm and was born on Dragonstone. I think Azor Ahai has already been reborn, she just doesn't realize it yet. Maester Aemon thinks he figured it out. This is what he said to Sam in AFFC: I think he is right, but RR Martin is pretty clever and it may be too obvious and the reveal not climatic enough. RR Martin always trying to surprise his readers is why I think the Hound is the dark horse. Also Aemon said before he died that the dragon must have three heads, so I imagine there will be more to this prophecy than we know now.

Why? The mystery of his mother can be addressed without John Snow being alive. I think he is dead. If he comes back it will be as a white walker. Some other thoughts. Maester Aemon is right about who Azor Ahai is and the smoke and salt that is referenced in AA's rebirth is not a metaphor but a location
-
BTW I think John Snow is dead as a doornail. I think his death throws the nights watch into disarray and Snows death is what allows the white walkers to penetrate the wall and unleash a wintery hell on Westeros. I also think the Hound is alive and well and he will be an important character by the end of the books.

Not sure how it will all play out in the end or if anyone gets their vengeance, but there will be a balancing of power and the Lannisters are not immune to having serious consequences for their actions as we will find out likely next season

You know what. Miami might be a good fit for Matt Moore. If Dan Henning is still OC he made Jake Delhomme a pro bowler. Matt Moore has better physical tools than Jake. This could end up being a good deal for Matt and Miami. Don't tell anyone I said this

A thunderstorm.

Yeah I know. I posted a ton about the draft and Cam Newton. I need to get a life LOL.

It wasn't directed at you per se. There are some other haters who are quick to point out the Parcell's rule to say we shouldn't take Cam, yet then jump out in front to criticize Gruden's QB knowledge. I personally don't like the Parcells formula bc I don't think formulas are fail proof and you have to take each prospect into consideration on an individual basis. For instance if Luck came out this year we would be foolish to not take him bc of a stupid formula. That has nothing to do with Cam I have always felt that way. And this muted thing is driving me insane and I am failing miserably at it

I am really, really dumb. That is why I like you. You make me feel so much smarter. Gives me a steady dose of self confidence. For that I thank you. Unlike many people my self worth doesn't come from being a "message board hero" :rofl: That's cool if it makes you feel better. I will stick to being right more than you.

I think Mike Riley is one of the best coaches too. I wouldn't say top 10 but really, really good. I'm just busting your balls ***.

I am in a bet so I can't put text on the message board until after the draft. TJ was given a raw deal by the fans at UNC. The criticism was unfair. He struggled as a freshman, then played REALLY well as a sophomore but got hurt. Struggled his junior year, but was playing with a lot of true freshmen in his offensive line and true freshmen wide receivers. He is smart, competitive, has a quick release, accurate down field, lit up Patrick Peterson and company, lit up FSU (400+ yards passing in both games), and mentally tough. I don't want him for the Panthers though. I just think he can be a late round steal which is what I took the thread to mean.
-
I only heard a bit of it too but they said (I believe) that they were concerned about the offense he came from. Not any character stuff, although they could be concerned about that, he just didn't say it. I woulda posted on the big thread but I have a bet with Verge and I can't post text.
