So, NHL training camps opened this week. The important thing is that the return of hockey will bring me many national games to enjoy on the days between football games. There’s about three weeks of garbage hockey to get through before the Canucks can start letting me down for real. Luckily, a couple of them take place enough time zones away I won’t care.
The Kings & Canucks are going to China for a couple of games. The NHL is mandating that they take actual regular-season players, and not just kids they’re going to send down to Utica or Ontario (Cal.) once camps close. The Canucks are smart, though, and only taking one Sedin, because if they lose them both no one will be able to prata svenska to the rest of the power play once the season starts.
One thing I am looking forward to is anniversary beers. The Tampa Bay Lightning turn 25 this year, and to commemorate it they are having a special beer brewed for their home games (& hopefully for sale in local stores).
I’m sure Dave Andreychuk there has had more than a couple on the house, considering the ring he HELPED THE LIGHTNING STEAL from the Flames back in 2004.

I’m in Seattle tomorrow for the Seahawks home opener. Will there be stories? I HOPE SO!
This seems like it’s gonna be a short overtime. USC scores, Texas has nothing left.
WRONG.
NFL,
That’s what a full Coliseum looks like.
Needs more luxury boxes and big screens to distract the fans.
Hi guys (and girls?) – This is basically the only time I ever root for Texas. This feels dirty, but HOOK ‘EM HORNS. /shudders
There is a Cardinal named Jet Toner. It’s like his parents couldn’t decide between the image quality of inkjet and the speed and efficiency of laser.
First of all, that’s excellent work by you. Second of all, dammit I hate humanity some (most) days.
Or maybe they just really liked the mid-2000s band Jet?
Or John Travolta’s deceased kid?

EXTRA INNINGS
Isn’t it supposed to be laces OUT?
YES
REALLY risky to let the blind guy hold there
Prevent defense strikes agaen
– Hillary
– Blax
Overtime it is
they should kick now
That was close
they ought be thinking 6
nice throw
All SC needs is 3. This game is far from over.
Their kicker is ass
Didn’t you go to Uk-lah? Shouldn’t you be happy?
I’m realistic.
OK USC, show us what a #4 team is made of. You have 45 seconds.
it’s nice that Vince young is happy again.
wait until he gets that pesky shirt off
Texas wins this, he’s gonna drop another twenty grand at Cheesecake Factory.
I see holding isn’t a thing anymore.
TEXAS OFFENSE DID A THING!!!
what a fucking catch
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy shit!
HOLE. E. SHEET.
This Game is FIRE!
He can make the hard as fuck throws, but not that routine toss.
What is: Every WVU quarterback since Marc Bulger? I’ll take College Sports for $800.
Herman said fuck it, we slinging it
smack off his head
Texas QB is going to die on that field.
Fucking ouch, dude
How will the Texas offense fuck this drive up? I’m going with fumbling the ball after a big pass play.
Fumbled snap on USC’s two yard line.
Step one complete
USC going the wrong way
Blind kid is coordinating this week?
The price is dropping fast but still over $200 too much. I might go down to Carson, park free and walk, and offer $10 for a good seat take it or leave it.
Can you make a “Shitty Clippers” DFO T-shirt in time? We will cover your $10 if so!!
Texas D is spent.
Still playing the opposite of ungood, though.
Troi Boiz had it in FG range, tired D, called ZERO run plays. I have a great deal of trouble understanding that, and I am inebriated in multiple ways.
Maybe it’s not just a yuk-yuk, perhaps Darnold really DOES have Down’s. He sure ain’t no thinker out there.
they let that blind kld play………
it’s a veritable Special Olympiad!
A Game of Turnovers. Texas D are the Dothraki
Can the Texas defense play offense?
Holy fucking shit. That wasn’t a facemask.
Just a brutal clothesline to the neck
DERP returned
DARNOLDCEPTION II: THE MCCOUGHNYING
He’s perfect for the Jets!
Darnold is buckling under pressure hard
Between him and Lamar! they can just maybe skip the Heisman this season.
Baker Mayfield
point taken but FLYOVER COUNTRY smh
Hi
did you bring us some fair trade coffee and/or strippers??
…What’s the difference between fair trade and regular strippers?
Tears.
experience in a shipping crate?
/I was gonna say “box” but that can mean two things
There’s a joke in here about Texas shooting themselves in the foot and responsible gun ownership.
THAT’S WHY WE GOT TO BUILD THAT THAR WALL!!
Touchbacks and snap counts are evidently things the Texas coaching staff doesn’t focus on.
tbf, not many of they starters can count all the way up to three, this ain’t Stanford or nuthin
what the hell was that Texas?
Kicker from some fucking Out West school is named John Baron II. Love his pizzas but did anyone tell him he can’t bring his Sopwith Camel on the field with hiM?
Please no more Ehlinger runs.
Doeis Texas not know the difference between punts and kickoffs? Second one in a row, ffs.
Field Awareness 101: Not taught at UT-Austin
I DRINKY TURN LIGHTS OFF SLEEP NOW WOO!
Also, the best of night’s to you, fellow members of the Commentist party, I am off to slumber and trust you will have a fine remainder of the evening.
Night Dok!
Whoa, SHIT.
Of course it’s Russia.
Could just as easily be the US. CC.
nah, only Russian chicks have the balls to ignore him and keep going with the newscast.
Americans would shit themselves.
Honestly, though, they have good reason. The last time I saw a video of a gun and an American reporter in the same frame, it did not end well for the reporter. Although I did say that everyone should watch that video to see just how easy it is to really just shoot someone. People don’t really get that.
True; she held the mud.
But as you know; I was talking about the brandishing part.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy interrupting a newscast brandishing a gun is a good guy interrupting a newscast brandishing a gun. SECOND AMENDMENT suck on THAT, libtards!!111
Alexa still showing her ignorance of my preferences. The speech recognition is impressive. The processing of the data afterwards, less so. But it’s all good. I don’t mind there being gaping holes in their data analysis. Don’t be afraid of your job being replaced by AI until I can say “play Carmen” without having to say “Play the opera Carmen” based off of the fact that I’ve never played anything but the opera and my preferences are extremely obvious
Do you have to specify the aria/scene? Or that it’s Bizet?
If you say Bizet, it know’s what’s up. Otherwise it’s just all Lana Del Rey, who I don’t even know who the fuck she is.
Oof, why did I apostraphe what? It’s cool, I plead drunk.
Did it play this? Because how could you punish it for playing this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1EIUP8tvbE&ab_channel=ACMEMusicNet
Yeah I would be cool with that
When I say “Play sticky fingered filcher” I get VASTLY different results.
OK, just gooclebinged “Alexa” and something different came up… I’ll keep researching.
THESE CALLUSES ARE FOAR SCIENCE!
