Your “It’s Tuesday And Sports Games Are On!” Open Thread

I think the NFL (and personally speaking, the Giants) have done enough damage to our sporting psyches these last few days that maybe perhaps we should give some other sports a chance to heal those wounds. For the soccer (don’t start) fellas the U.S. is playing Trinidad AND Tobago. Why they scheduled a game against two teams at the same time is beyond me but I’m told America’s coach Hans Flugenmeister knows what he’s doing. Over there on the JV Footy stage Toledo is handling Bowling Green and David Letterman State is taking on Neil Young Protest Song. In the ice-based sports nothing much of interest is happening. Basketball-wise, early-season NBA games are a waste of time but there are a few interesting tilts at the “amateur” level. New Hampshire/UCONN is no doubt the most fascinating game being played in front of a crowd composed of 99.98% white people tonight. Duke/Kentucky features the smarmiest pre-game handshake between coaches that you’ll see all year. The game of the night though is a monster battle between St.Bonaventure and the Orangemen of Syracuse. So many narratives! Will Bob Lanier’s alma mater continue their climb back to mid-tier adequacy? Will Malachi Richardson prove to be the shooter that everyone thought he would be coming out of high school? Will Tyler Roberson (no relation to Paul) have to play center when Cuse goes to a small line-up? Will 3-point specialist Cooney shoot above 29%? Will Coach B pick his nose yet again when the camera is on him? The answer to these and many other questions lie ahead…

I stuck around all morning to bitch about my problems. I will owe you like 50 gifs, then give 35 on this thread, then just spam them whereever

My dad is admitting to being on steroids, but saying the wall punching sound I heard earlier wasn’t him. If on steroids he admits it it is normally true, just angrier.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I shouldn’t be so mean to my dad. If he doesn’t take them he dies from not being able to breath, if he does take them if makes the worlds worst asshole 40x worse

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I tried spamming gifs in hope I could pretend to be asleep while I got yelled at for things my dad failed at. He is up now and even with nothing to do I expect him to be a dick about it. I got like 20 more gifs in me before I get steroid screamed at for no reason if you want

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

He took his sterioids and punched the bathroom wall. I know it wont be a good day.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am annoyed I am up in the rain at 10 am. Nothing to fucking do even if I chose to wake up. Let the dog out twice already, not spending the day the best way.

I could have probably formed that sentence better. I failed.

I stumbled upon a gif of Alison Bries inner thigh earlier (check like 5 images down). I can’t match it, but an old favorite as penance

I was at UCONN in the early 90’s, just when they started to get really good at the basketballs. One year I was at a game at our on-campus facility, (brand new, now hopelessly outdated according to never-happy assholes), for a game against New Hampshire.

UCONN started the game on something like a 34-0 or 38-0 run. I’m not exaggerating. When UNH finally scored the crowd exploded.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

UCONN is one of the few front runners I still can root for. They are good and I hate them less than the teams they face. I will never understand the 25 year rule for stadiums, fucking clean it in the offseason and shut up.

I want to bitch about every network show being just a list of tropes and Rob Lowe only doing an impression of everything every actor that works with him hates. Alison Brie instead.

On my FB feed today, a friend posted that she had dyed her hair bright ass red again, and someone made the obligatory “does it match” joke, only the moron typed “does the drapes match the carpet?” and she replied, “no need for drapes.”

I weep for humanity, I truly do.

Oh, is a FB feed similar to a fullback draw?

entropy

Not really a FB feed leaves a huge mess in the table and lots of dishes, while a fullback draw just results in crayon on the walls and shoddy attempts at spelling.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Is that show ever coming back?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

They always taught us to relax the opposing momentum and breath through your nose; that’s just good coaching.

So the NFL is what, 4-5 light years to the left?

So my dad is a giant dick about leaving the back door to the garage open behind a locked fence because . There is a group of people every year that break into cars and garages in a radius that obvious stems from there and as I mentioned before, our entire police force is trying to find moms in their 50’s slightly drunk because it makes more money. I moved here at 2-3, every fucking year it happens, dick bag cops have not once tried to solve it and they gloat about their shitty plans at city counsel meetings. What I meant to say is he left the garage door open for I think the 4th time this week before I went on a rant.

Did I just read that Jonah Lomu of the All Blacks has died?

And by that I mean: I didn’t scroll down half a page to see that Sill did in fact just write that quite well.

That is one of the better comment qualifications we’ve seen in a week or so.

As if things couldn’t possibly be any stupider, here comes the news that the Kikkoman company conducted frankly obscene animal research in order to prove the “health benefits” of their products for over 15 years:

“For more than 15 years, Kikkoman has conducted experiments in which animals were cut open, force-fed soy and other food products, blasted with radiation, and decapitated just to make dubious health claims—including about sexual behavior—even though authorities have clearly stated that animal experiments cannot be used to substantiate human health claims about food.”

They’ve recently committed to stopping this disgusting practice, but that’s enough for me.

San-J, Yamasa, Lee Kum Kee and many others apparently just make soy sauce. I’m going with those.

entropy

What the fuck possible benefit is there to decapitating an animal just to prove soy sauce is not a health risk?

“Her at Kikkoman, we stand by our claim that our soy sauce will not result in the spontaneous removal of your head from your neck…. and we have decades of research to prove it.”

Jonah Lomu died today.

Good thing she has that umbrella.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Never know when it might sprinkle…..

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You can tell she’s nice, since she can put up with him.

nomonkeyfun

Actually, she isn’t putting up with him. I’m just off camera to her right and she’s trying to get as far away as possible.

I think I should been wearing pants that day.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’ve had dreams like that too. It’s a shame to wake up, but at least there is wood.

Lothar of the Hill People

I heard a couple guys talking about basketball as being “roundball”. I wanted to interrupt them and ask what shape the ball was in soccer, baseball, volleyball, lacrosse, softball, tennis, golf, cricket, croquet, team handball, etc.

nomonkeyfun

At least they weren’t referring to the players as cagers.

Lothar of the Hill People

In high school, when the school newspaper (and some teachers) referred the ‘cagers,’ I thought they were talking about the wrestling team.

Now I can’t remember the stupid nickname they used for the wrestlers. Should’ve been gonad-grabbers.

Sill Bimmons

I believe it was “mat monkeys.”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

In my high school, we called them “rapists”.

We just called them closet cases.

I miss the days of attending college basketball games. That was fun. Attending high school basketball games (when I was in high school–I’m not some perv) was fun, too.

Watching basketball on TV is not nearly as fun.

They don’t like it when you start sniffing the bleachers.

In a way I hope this comment from Brian on that story is fake, but in another, bigger, way I hope it is real:
“NASA is a war criminal agency that puts earth and mankind at risk of extinction from discovery of unfriendly alien life through their relentless pursuit of illegal militaristic missions of interplanetary surveillance, bombardment, invasion, and colonization. Shut them down TODAY! “
