Your “I’ve Seen That Look Before” Tuesday Open Thread

Here, let’s relive it again, in video:

and gif form:

Oh, that’s the pure stuff. JUST PUT IT INTO MY VEINS!!! Kris Jenkins is a stone cold killer – never mind the shot, the pose of him watching it go in is magnificent. It’s a murderer watching a victim die and savouring their pain, and ensures he’ll never have to buy a beer in Philly again. Like most murderers.

Now we get to watch UNC go on athletic probation, without the satisfaction of the national title to warm those cold January evenings. It’ll be third Christmas for people like King Hippo.

FACTY FACTOIDS THAT MAY ONLY INTEREST NO ONE: According to ESPN, only 2.56% of all brackets had Villanova winning it all. According to Skip Bayless, there should have been co-national champions. According to me, that’s why I stay off ESPN’s website.

The women’s final game is tonight. UConn goes for a four-peat tonight against Syracuse. This contest won’t be able to catch that lightning-in-a-bottle like last night’s men’s championship game, because the seeming inevitability of the Huskies achieving the superfecta takes the wind out of the sails of anticipation. Although it would be kinda nice knowing that the Syracuse ladies succeeded where Jim Boeheim didn’t.

Actual Football News:

So Twitter is going to livestream games. Jeez – Deion is barely intelligible now; just imagine him trying to follow along with tweets every play. It’ll read like the last words a Cosby victim hears before the drugs take effect.

Aldon Smith has signed a two-year deal with the Raiders. So, I’m setting the over/under at 10 games played total over those two years.

Denver is considering either Dak Prescott or Paxton Lynch as a QB selection in the draft. One key factor will be whether the whiteness of their name will appeal to the Director of Football Operations – one hoof for yes; two hooves for no. Also important: how might Mark Sanchez ruin them?

And do with it what they will

In the “for fuck’s sake!” department, Rog is considering expanding the playoffs again, with two more wildcard teams to play the second-highest finishers, leaving only the Conference champions with a bye. Purists will argue tradition; owners will accept the buckets of money.

Politics: Speaking of entitled millionaires, there’s a primary tonight in Wisconsin. It matters because, after the Colorado one this weekend, there isn’t another until New York on April 19th. Cruz & Sanders are favored to win; the betting’s on how big the margin, and what ridiculous thing Trump will say after losing.

TV: I know it’s been touched upon, but how maddening was “The Walking Dead” finale? It’s guaranteed a hate-watch audience when it returns in October. But, it’s also guaranteed that a lot of people will switch right back to the “Sunday Night Football” broadcast once they find out who was killed. (psst – it was Glenn) But Jeffrey Dean Morgan – he was born to be Negan.

Just look at this handsome maniac.

Speaking of baseball bats, THE GAMES!

NHL: (11 games total)

Here’s 90% of why the Caps are #1.
  • Islanders @ Capitals – 7:00
  • Carolina @ Boston – 7:00
  • Lightning @ Rangers – 7:30
  • Sharks @ Wild – 8:00

NBA: (11 games total)

  • Hornets @ Raptors – 7:30
  • Bulls @ Grizzlies – 8:00
  • Spurs @ Jazz – 9:00
  • T-Wolves @ Warriors – 10:30

NCAA: Women’s Final – Syracuse vs UConn – 8:30

Baseball: I’m sure the Jays are on in Canada.

I wonder if anyone last night played as high as Gary McLain in 1985. WHO YA GOT?!

Not one, but TWO chances.

WCS

I couldn’t give a chamber pot less about the NBA, but, could the Spurs actually upend the Warriors in the WCF?

Croooow

I believe the Spurs could mathematically steal the top seed and home court from the Warriors.

Covalent Blonde

You shut your whore mouth!

*But technically yes and highly likely

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Warriors gonna lose?

Senor Weaselo

Metric shit-ton of turnovers.

Croooow

Down four with less than a minute to go.

Covalent Blonde

So glad I tuned in to find the Dubs lost in OT. Fuck this game!

theeWeeBabySeamus
theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes, of course I know what I’m doing.
Yes, of course it’s safe for everyone to stand up.

Senor Weaselo

Warriors turning the ball over a bajillion times, tied with the Basketball Vikings with 20 seconds left.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Man, I *love* this arena feed. Watching some guy nail his layup, then his free throw, then go 1/10 from the top of the key to win smoothies for everyone is much more fun than actual commercials.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I take it your head is better?

Senor Weaselo

Good tomorrow morning everyone. In things that you all don’t care about, walking into Wendy’s because it’s 10:30, you just got out of rehearsal, and nothing else is open, and learning that their ghost pepper fries are a thing again is a wonderful wonderful thing. Now if only they’d put less cheese and more actual ghost pepper on them. Or if anyone made Carolina Reaper fries. What I’m saying is “Get on that, any restaurant that wants all of my money.”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wendy’s is my #2 fast food. In N Out is #1. Five Guys is not on the list because there aren’t enough of them around here to be a candidate.

Sill Bimmons

Wendy’s Spicy Chicken or GTFO.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’ve not had that. I always just order burgers, which are also good.

Sill Bimmons

The burgers are indeed good.

The happiest day of my Wendy’s life was learning that a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger has fewer calories than an order of fries.

So I get the best of both worlds.

WCS

Senor Weaslo became Peter King so gradually, DFO hardly even noticed.

Senor Weaselo

No, I actually want the the heat, rather than ruining it with other dreck and flavors. Some have their alcohol and their opiates, I have enough capsaicin to stop a rampaging rhino in their tracks.

Or I’ve become hot sauce PK and suicide is my only option, but that’s impossible, since I don’t like nutmeg.

WCS

Perhaps, but, what’s your opinion on Peroni? XEROX OF UBERWEIRDNESS

Senor Weaselo

Don’t think I’ve ever had it.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Don’t you guys start anything; we’ll use the blow-up doll if we have to!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

So Limitless finally ditched the fucking stupid, normally reserved for Super hero show plot line of keeping a secret for no reason while the obvious solution 15 eps ago was just admit what is going on. I actually kinda like this show, I will forgive them this once/15 times

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Fun Fact: “Limitless” is the working title for ESPN’s upcoming 30 for 30 episode about Troy Smith.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

This image is terrifying

WCS

He’s got a MA from Phoenix State University in Online.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Warriors game feed I’m watching (http://soccerstation.org/) just features the arena internal feed during commercials. It’s awesome.

Sill Bimmons

That’s how the old-timey satellite NFL games were.

Halftime was just a wide shot of the field.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

This is even better because it’s got things like a junior karate academy doing a choreographed fight to the music of Star Wars. It’s adorable!

montythisseemsstrangetome

But how do you know to drink the macro brew that hasn’t been backing down for 150 years, without commercials?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I CALL THESE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES DTZM, BECAUSE THEY’RE AS EFFECTIVE AT COCKBLOCKING THE WARRIORS FROM 73 WINS AS HE IS AT KEEPING BALLS AWAY FROM HIS SISTER

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That is fucking funny.

Sill Bimmons
WCS

Maybe the aliens from Independence Day intercepted transmissions like this, and simply said the human race is too dumb to live.

Sill Bimmons

What other conclusion could they draw?

Unsurprised

Holy shit. This is genuinely shocking. “This morning the Court released a unanimous opinion in Evenwel v. Abbott, holding that a state or locality may draw its legislative districts based on total population.”
http://www.scotusblog.com/2016/04/afternoon-round-up-todays-opinion-in-evenwel-v-abbott/

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Alright. I am out for an hour or two to watch some shows from tonight. I’ll check in later and waste time with you guys if people are still here.

WCS

I’m going to write the Masters preview tomorrow afternoon. It can double as the night thread, if yinz want.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yes, you should.

Unsurprised

WOOOO! Bernie’s Portland office is having its grand opening tomorrow night. I bet it’s open now and I should be there, but I’m not because I’d rather screw around and write some stupid fiction.

Spur

Aldridge mid range game is pure gold

Sill Bimmons

Damn, Peele is banging Chelsea Peretti.

Oh well. Good for him.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I mean, good for him, but I’m personally not jealous.

Sill Bimmons

She just does something for me.

It’s like a Jennifer Grey thing.

The nose is the beauty that hath some strangeness about its proportion.

Who has a better chance to win in New York Bernie or the Jets?………yes I know they play on Jersey.

Unsurprised
Sill Bimmons

DIRT YINZERS WIN WOO

montythisseemsstrangetome

Meh just because they scored more runs how is that even fair?

Spur

Bernie needs to wrap it up.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I really don’t think he’s sleeping with that many women.

Unsurprised

It only matters if he’s sleeping with this one.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

He only gets airtime after he wins a state, he always goes long on these.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

And they just cut to commercial instead of letting him finish talking, proving my point.

Spur

Will the Panama Papers affect Hillary? But i think the real question is will the general populace understand what the Panama Papers are?

WCS

MTWV is intrigued about a new type of rolling paper.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I just abuse alcohol now. I gave up smoking a few years ago.

Sill Bimmons

You might want to switch those up.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I know, the less damaging one is still illegal though

Unsurprised

It depends. Four major Clinton Foundation donors are in the papers, and the Foundation itself is refilling its tax documents for “reasons.”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
BrettFavresColonoscopy

The whole time I was growing up, I got bombarded with ads for “WGN, the Superstation.” No longer live in “Chicagoland,” can I get the Cubs game tonight?

Alright, Pop took Danny Green out.

Spur

How many Clark counties are there in America? They just keep on appearing. I know there is one in Nevada.

Sill Bimmons

There’s no Clark County in NJ but there is a Clark Township.

Clark Township used to be the Yankee version of a sundown town.

WCS
Sill Bimmons

If they break up the Phat Phil/Bonino/Hagelin line when Geno comes back I’m gonna lose it.

Don T

The NFL is just gonna do Wild Card triple header weekend, right?
.
That would not be terrible.

Spur

In fairness, Wisconsin is a weird state.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

You shut your whore mouth! … actually, yeah, that is accurate.

Sill Bimmons

Chris Kreider is HantaAIDS.

Horatio Cornblower

Ah, the joyous chants for Bernie Sanders by the young people of Wisconsin, who have learned nothing from Bob LaFollette.

Sill Bimmons

To be fair, none of them knows who Fightin’ Bob was.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I support Sanders by default, the rest are just terrible on both sides. I wish Warren would have run, even Biden would have been a better choice. Hillary will probably win the general election but I don’t really trust her to do a good job or fight for anything she claims she believes in.

Sill Bimmons

THIS

Senor Weaselo

That’s about right.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The WI Trump/Cruz result’s map shows very clearly where the actual cities are, and where the towns of 200 with meth problems are

Doktor Zymm

Well, I’m off to bed, just to sleep, and certainly not to do anything naughty like setting alight my grail-shaped beacon.

Oh Zoot.

Dirt Yinzers up in the top of the 10th.

Horatio Cornblower

Syracuse outscored the UCONN women 16-2 over the last few minutes.

Thereby cutting UCONN’s lead to 19.

Spur

Quinn Snyder is the Rick Grimes of the NBA. He just needs the beard.

Spur

Cruz just gave his wife a buddy pat on the back.

Horatio Cornblower

If the Enquirer is right that’s the least of the things he’s given her.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I’m sentimental, but there were days in the past that just seemed right, if only for a short time.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

I’m over here Juliette, lying on the ground, looking up at the glorious view.

Spur

Ted Cruz is really fucking scary. He’s advocating for some weird Libertarian hunger games.

Sill Bimmons

Look at the guy:

http://theresurgent.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/TedCruzWide.jpg

He’s just taking “Let them eat cake” to its logical conclusion.

American Pie Story

Legitimately the most repulsive person I’ve ever seen.

WCS

He’d name himself the new Holy Roman Emperor 30 seconds after being sworn in.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Yeah, the longer he speaks the worse he gets. At least he isn’t talking about nuking Europe like Trump was doing the other day.

American Pie Story

He’s somehow the worst version of Rick Santorum, and that’s saying something.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Sill Bimmons

Just please don’t let it be the Blackhawks again.

I don’t know if I can handle that.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Why so much hate for the Blackhawks? You realize the other teams we get to root for are at best barely competent, more accurately just perennially awful

Sill Bimmons

It’s not THE Blackhawks, it’s THESE Blackhawks.

Mostly just Patrick Kane.

Also the rest of them, but mostly Patrick Kane.

Duncan Keith attempted to murder a man for knocking him down last week.

If the Utah Jazz didn’t play in Utah I’d root for them. They need to move that team to Vegas. Go Spurs Go

Doktor Zymm

I am rearranging my glassware, due to being given more glassware. In a brilliant move, I have situated my nice whiskey glasses next to my nice whiskey.

WCS

thats guude strategerizin

Doktor Zymm

The best thing Bush #2 ever did was give the world the word ‘strategery’

WCS

“I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.”

Sill Bimmons

“I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family.”

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

THAT IS VERY CONVENIENT!!

Doktor Zymm

Now I know how the guy who decided to put toilet paper next to the toilet felt!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Well, I’m sure he feels very good about himself, but you can’t roll the glasses twenty feet to their usage point; you are obviously superior.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I hate Cruz and his victory speech is painful to watch, but I want to hang around until Larry David gives his speech from the Democratic side.

Doktor Zymm

I enjoy reading Canadian points of view about Cruz. That’s about the best thing I can say about him.
