So happy the Ice Rams won – if they had lost, they would’ve been down 3-0, and no one comes back against the IceSabrecats from 3-0 in the playoffs. Especially the Kings.
So, I have been in meetings all day, but I see that my compatriots at the Flyers game have disgraced themselves once again. I generally think the “horrible Philly fan” narrative is overblown and a crutch for lazy sportswriters. That said, there is a portion of this fan base that absolutely revels in the reputation and gets off on living up to it. That wasn’t always a thing…I think the proliferation of sports media has amped it up in the last 15 years or so.
So, in closing, thanks a lot, dickbags. You make it harder all the time for people to think I’m not a mouth-breathing alcoholic Trump voter.
Well, hey, at least Cataldi and Rhea Hughes can say this incident was “overblown” in 25 years, when everyone else in the NHL brings it up.

quick summary: Livingston did well in place of curry. The rockets had to many turnovers, got frustrated, and dwight howard fouled out. 5 Warriors players got in double figures and they hit key shots late in the game and walked away with the win.
now the series shifts to Houston.
Wow, looks like I missed a heck of a sports day. Philly fans acting like Philly fans, idiot ice players scolding a cameraman for stepping on their logo, which is on the ground, and the Raptors actually won a playoffs game.

4th quarter of the warriors rockets game just started.
warriors up by 7.
I was watching my Stars/Thunder lose playoff games so I missed the hubbub too; from the previous comments I’m not sure a single link could recap what just happened but I’m curious too.
Thank you for all of the links but that “Sielski: Way to go, Flyers” article makes me not even want to watch the video. Kinda like a book to movie translation: it’s always better in the book.

Watching the warriors play kind of reminds me of Mike Tyson fighting, very early in his career. Before he became a head hunter, rapist, and all that other shit. Back when Gus lead him in and out of the ring.
In his early fights, his opponents would be able to hang for like a round or two. But then his combos (and Tyson in his early days was technically pretty sound) would start hitting hard and before you noticed, the fight was over.
Early Tyson was a boxing coaches wet dream. I remember watching him way before he won the title on Wide World of Sports. He was fighting some schlub and hit dude with a four punch combo of body shots that still makes my toes curl just thinking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if dude is still pissing blood.
G’nite everyone. And a special goodnight to Brendan Dillon of the Ice Raiders for putting himself out of position on the OT winning goal.
Was Fort Minor`s ‘Remember the Name’ a song listed in the Algebra playlist? That song has Jon Gruden written all over it.

Evening everyone. What’d I miss?
Philly fans a derpin,
Kings finally getting their shit together,
#BFIB (God Bless) really showed some class tonight,
Monday Night Raw didn’t suck.
Kind of a slow night
I wonder how long she lasted in this modified plank. This exercise shreds your torso. Now excuse me while I grab beer #3

Except that one time.
Thank god the Ice Kiss won. Had they lost, I`d be on the verge of being pretty screwed in my playoffs pool.
OT winner for the Ice Kiss. This is going to be a fun series.

It’s astonishing to me that teams continue to think Dwight Howard is good and try to acquire him.
Dwight Howard has my respect after I read this: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15188750/dwight-howard-houston-rockets-helps-organize-blood-drive-honor-craig-sager
he should get all 50 of his kids to donate
I was thinking, St. Louis Blues can only be called the Ice ex-Rams for so long. Why not call them the Ice #BFIB?

I came up with the “Ice Xtreme”. Maybe that’s too many levels?
Ice Kiss?
I love the whole LA Kiss thing. Watched one of their games once and it was a hoot. Such a desperate gimmick from a dying league.
LA Ice-Kiss-Who-Are-In-Anaheim of LA
Given one of the city’s major exports, they be the Ice #UpForAnythings.
That`s just mean

Stream for anyone who needs it: http://streamandme.me/
warriors just opened up a 13 pt lead. now only 6 min and change left in the game…
Every Philly sports media person who criticized what happened tonight is just getting lambasted on Twitter, or in comment sections.
EXAMPLES!
“Was it right, no but it happens. You would know that if you’ve been following this organization for more than a year!”
“Sielski (the author) was lickin his chops for this one. Is he a philly guy.”
“Just dipshit reporters who choose to follow some made up storyline.”
“if you dis your due diligence you would know it was n response 2 a bunch of pens fans yelling flyers suck during MOS in gm1”
“The other coach said the Flyers quit, but we are talking about bracelets. Typical lazy media commentary.”
Your hate and lack of self-awareness sustains me, Philly fans.
So…what happened? Link?

Plenty of clickin’ and readin’ materiel above, good sir. Should paint a decent picture.

thats an interesting way to look at it, cool.

Wait, so Steve Kerr’s gonna rape the chick from Head Of The Class?
So that Philly game will rank in the all-time classic belligerent Philly sports moments right?
You ought to read some of WIP’s host’s twitter feeds.
I hope it replaces the tired Santa Claus bit. Mostly because something bad actually happened this time.
Idea number 8511 to increase scoring in hockey: if you score a goal with your goalie pulled, it counts trilple. A “three point shot,” if you will.
Pro beach hockey dimensions would be cool.

Not sure how you would ramp up the ice like that, but ramped ice around the boards would make it a lot harder to send guys head first into them.

angre iggy is feeling himself early… hits a couple of 3’s…
The Warriors TV challenge…
Flip the channel for 15 seconds and try to guess how far the Warriors have extended their lead by the time you flip back.
I did that and then Sprewell tried to rip my dick off. I think I went too far back.
I LOL’d at this.
Allie LaForce is pretty cute
You know what the NBA needs…more teams making the playoffs and longer series…like best of 9.
Year round.
The early OKC celebration made this win so much sweeter.
cheers to dirk and the Mavs.
now gonna cheers for the warriors vs rockets. dont mind if curry doesnt play. warriors will still win this series.
Choklahoma City strikes again
Goddamn, MAVS
Haha the confetti is still falling.
