Sunday action features the Euro, Copa America, baseball, and Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
On the European front, Turkey plays Croatia, it’s a funtime Ottoman Empire family reunion.
Northern Ireland plays Poland,
Germany plays Ukraine, I’m guessing it will go about as well for the Ukrainians as Operation Barbarossa did for them.
Copa America features Group B’s final game.
Ecuador-Haiti play each other, Haiti is eliminated from advancing further, but Ecuador can with a win and a losing result in the other game.
Brazil plays Peru, if they draw, they both advance, if one wins, the loser will not advance if Ecuador wins.
Penguins can clinch their fourth Stanley Cup tonight, while San Jose will try to force a Game 7. Pens outshot the Sharks almost 2:1 Thursday, but a herculean effort by Jones allowed San Jose to live another day.
Enjoy the day.
I think I turned off the blowout of a game early enough I can watch the whole 38 min of GoT we got last week before the new ep if I skip the ads and credits
/Vitamin X bottle flies open
Speaking of nut shots, anyone else pulling for several of the Warriors to hit Dellavedova and/or Bron in the sac tonight?
/may have a problem
That would be impressive, isn’t the game tomorrow night?
Touché.
So, if you take a shot for every Hamilton reference at tonight’s Tonys, you’ll be… let’s see, dead in 90 minutes.
Stuck in hell (Myrtle Beach, twins’ 15th birthday trip and they choice) and my hotel TV’s fucking NBC!!?? channel is fucked up. So now I have to hope that the WiFi suffices to run a stream, or I will have to deal with the hotel bar (at best, assuming THEIR NBC isn’t fucked, and they are showing the match).
Life just hates me.
My apologies for laughing at you.
We will all band together on the DFO side to relay every word that comes out of Doc Emrick’s mouth to you
David Freese of the Pirates uses “Stink fist” by Tool as his walk up music.
Duly noted.

Yes. Yes we are. But we’re very lovable idiots.

Aproproop of nothing-I give you under-rated Stand-Upper Greg Proops. He’s got all the vocab and obscure references of Dennis Miller with none of the knee-jerk conservative opinions…

I recently subscribed to HowlFM. They have 2 of his albums on there; “Elsewhere” and “Proops Digs In”. Funny shit. He was on a few Superego sketches, too.

Sneaky nut shot, there.
Nut shots for all!

Pittsburgh Penguins -118 -1.5(+250)

Anyone else surprised Pitt is the favorite here?
I’m sure it’s just because Vegas is trying to draw in the several dozen Sharks fans to lay some money down…
A triple-header on Monday? Sure looks like a work-at-home day tomorrow all of a sudden.
Ukraine is simply STARVING for a goal.

That’s just….. well-executed.

So a woman on vacation in Qatar reported being drugged and raped by a local…so naturally she is in her 3rd month of imprisonment for adultery.
My family asked me if they could visit the UAE when I was living and working there. I told them under no uncertain terms that they should ever step foot in the Middle East.

Boy oh boy…you know the last time a bunch of Krauts cut through Ukrainian lines…a shit load of people died…
Today seems like a good day to say that Curt Schilling probably knows more about PEDs than he wants you to think.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/schilcu01.shtml
Check out those stats and pay particular attention to before and after 1997. Then go look at the stats of McGwire, Sosa and Clemens, look at their before and after 1996/1997 stats and ask yourself what those stats have in common. Spoiler alert: They all get a LOT better.
But I’m sure Curt just learned to harness his velocity in ’97.
It’s probably when he started his lifelong love affair with investing.
*also
If only they had PEDs for investing…
They kind of do, but Schilling obviously never thought to take them.
They certainly don’t have PEDs for ethics, however.
I would love to see Russia and England kicked out of the tournament. It would lead to EPIC hot teaks on the internet!!!

Jesus…they arrested some idiot in California who was heavily armed and apparently going to check out a gay pride parade.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-gay-pride-la-weapons-20160612-snap-story.html
I’m generally against police brutality but in this case I’d be willing to look the other way for as long as it takes.
If they have a pride parade in DC, I’m gonna march with them. I feel like they could use a show of support from us straights.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/hamburger/arrested%20development/freedom.gif
DC’s Pride Parade was yesterday. Some Caps fans were giving some of the players shit because they were in it.
http://www.capitalpride.org/events/parade-2016/
Parade was yesterday but there are more events today, including something at DuPont right now.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED to hear of intolerance from Washington sports fans.
I can’t imagine what the police presence of any public event must be like in Washington these days even before this shit.
It saddens me to think of how the terrorists won and D.C. has turned into a police state ruled by fear and exploited to become gentrified and filled with war profiteers.
“The car had Indiana plates, and the law enforcement source said the man arrested was white.”
Gee, I wonder what could motivate such a man to want to assault the southern California LGBTQ community.
I wonder how many NRA propaganda-swilling, anti-government gun nuts have hard-ons at the news that it too 11 police officers to take down one civilian with an AR-15. I’m certain it’s more than a few.
I just came in from working all day in the yard and trying to ignore reality, but did the Northern Ireland team come out wearing green?
I’m not sure if that’s an insult to the Republic or a subtle olive branch but today I’m going to believe the latter.
I’d believe the former!

Polish Power!
Granted, I don’t know shit about futbol.
But I really feel that this match in particular could benefit from the Benny Hill Theme playing on a loop in the background.
I’d say I’m surprised the Colombians lost last night, but, Costa Rica is a tough out. So now they get Brazil (most likely). Luckily for them, it’s more like Brazil lite, so, barring a meltdown, they should still be fine. But if they lose, oh man, grab a bag of popcorn because the shit storm that will follow will be amazing.
The Columbia manager fucking threw that match through shear stupidity.
What on god’s green earth was he thinking switching out his goalie? He literally shuffled the team up, trying to max out resting the players because he expected Los Ticos to just roll over.
The difference Rodriguez made was amazing.
I don’t think a full-strength Colombia is going to have a hard time with Brazil.
Not at all. He rested players on purpose.
Bartosz Kapustka is 19 years old and is having himself a beatly game for Poland. I can’t believe he hasn’t scored yet. If he can net a few, I have a feeling he’ll be seeing a lot of rainbow colored Euros.
An Orange Box? My God, Half Life 3 is confirmed.

has anyone even put a shot on goal yet??
If by shot you mean a hand and goal you mean my penis…then still no.
Not the Irish. They’ve been pretty, pretty terrible.

Is it football season yet?
Sun up to sundown yesterday and today! Just…lesser.
oh great, the church bombers play a 4-5-1. The Greeks aren’t here, but they are in spirit.
Perfect tennis weather out today! I’ve discovered that tennis skirts are actually really comfortable for playing tennis in (funny how that works). I actually found a tennis skirt that is burgundy with gold stitching around the bottom hem, so I’ll be able to transition seamlessly from tennis court to preseason game watching in August.
Are you sure it’s not more of a maroon?
It’s totally maroon and yellow, but that’s not nearly as grand sounding
Does it have pockets for balls? And, if so, can those pockets be used to store beers during preseason games?
Or like this

HOLY SHIT 50 people were killed in a mass shooting?!?
Yup someone shot up a gay club in Orlando
I saw that story an hour ago and they only had 20 dead. I really hope the total doesn’t keep going up
50 dead and 53 wounded

In your “not surprising but still fucking horrible” category, the Texas LG tweeted out a bible passage about reaping what you sow
Wait, what?
I read a fairly good bit. I like to think I am well read…though whenever I see a sticker on a book “Best Seller!” I know I am going to hate it.
In high school, I dated a bird that was really…like insane level, into the beatniks. One of her favorites was William Burroughs which I gave numerous attempts at “getting”…I just didn’t see the point. I mean I get he does the constant stream of consciousness shtick…I just found it utterly mundane.
Also, at the time, I myself was struggling with opiate addiction and pretty much I found his whole act pretty much the same thing I was putting my family through.
I bring this up because I just finished the two books his son “William Jr” wrote before he died in ’81 of alcoholism. Dear god the son was so much fucking better as a writer.
What is really hilarious…in a terribly sad way, was how utterly out of touch the old man was to reality and what he put his son through. Pretty much he ignored his son until 16, had him shipped off to him to Tangiers, where he ignored his son getting molested and assaulted by dad’s drug buddies for months, and then shipped him back when the nuance was gone.
I have no fucking clue what caused me to go off on this tangent…

Unless I am missing something. If Brazil and Peru tie, can’t Equador still advance if they win by 2 goals?
Yes, they would.
In case my last comment seemed random I was responding to the threads main content. Just for the record
What is the tiebreaker if the games end 0-0/1/0, 1-1/2-1 etc? They would be tied in goal differential/goals for/goals against
Average penis size?
2nd tiebreaker is goals scored, Head-to-head is third tiebreaker. If not they draw lots apparently. If it’s 5-all, Brazil advances because they have the best goal differential and goals scored. Peru has a goal differential of +1 and 3 goals scored to Ecuador’s 0 and 2 goals. If Ecuador wins and matches Peru’s goals scored and differential, since their head to head game was a draw, they draw lots to see who goes ahead.

Stallone does not get the credit he deserves for being a quality screen writer.
Doesn’t help he has been phoning in the crap roles the last 10 years…
I don’t know. He brought his acting boots for Rocky VI and Creed.
People tend to forget he fucking wrote Rocky. His first movie, he wrote the script and got it made, and it was a huge success. That doesn’t happen without a LOT of talent. Granted it was a bit easier back then but Rocky is a fucking fantastic script, especially considering cinema’s current crop of shit getting released.
Creed was like if Rocky V was good.
Sly Stallone, like Hippo, is an American Evertonian. But I talk English MOAR BETTER.

This is quite the genocide-y opener, no?
I hook up from time to time with a med student who is from Turkey.
If I am not careful, she can go on for hours about the “genocide” in Palistine.
Ask her about Armenians…nothing but slurs.
Do you meet her in Constantinople?
