Is it wrong that I’m annoyed by the fact that the documentary I’m watching is referring to the 7th planet as “Urahness” instead of “Your Anus”?

What am I watching here? It’s a huge cross country skiing relay race punctuated by target rifle shooting, which seems really fucking hard to after you’ve been cross country skiing. Is it the biathlon? The tee-vee won’t say.

Yes, biathlon.

If Arizona basketball got the death penalty I wouldn’t like it….but I’d understand.

Caps give up another lead late in the 3rd.

Aaaaand give up the game winner with :18 to go. I love Washington sports.

Even I didn’t see that one coming. Not even a Bettman point.

Unsurprised

Nice hat.

Philly Sports are a combined 13-1 since the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Waiting for that other shoe to drop. Has a baseball team ever lost all their games? Phillies seem like just the kind of team to do it.

the reply from Frank Stanton @Frank66Stanton is fucking hilarious.

herodotus450

I never quite understood why they got rid of the glow puck, especially in The Before Times of 480i resolution. But they should bring something like it back, like how they can track baseball pitches and show the path of a pitch.

Gratliff

Giroux on some Jedi bullshit going 16-3 on faceoffs in that win.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Petr Mrazek is really good and Vegas could have had him in this past year’s expansion draft.

herodotus450

Instead they took a 26 year old rookie 4th line center.

herodotus450

Also, that makes one win for Mrazek with Philly; only 4-10 more to go.

Gratliff

To be fair, though, Vegas can’t really complain about this year’s results. Gonna be hilarious when Flower goes away, though.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show
Gratliff

Noted Bag of Shit, Brandon Dubinsky, intentionally goes knee-on-knee on Giroux.

Gratliff

And Flyera immediately score. Fuck Brandon Dubinsky.

Walton was doing some generic Pac-12 game a couple of years ago and he actually woke me up mid doze with the stuff he was saying.

Found another funny:

SWAT #1: The target is inside.
SWAT #2: Let’s break down the door.
ME: I got this… [knocks] “GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!”

Gratliff

I know we like to make fun of the Capitals here for seeking out failure, and they really do deserve it, but we need to devote more time for the horrific, unwatchable plummet that is the New York Rangers’ season since New Year’s Day. This is how a real team tanks:

I sneaked out of work a little early to catch most of the US-Canada rebroadcast.

That was some…”interesting” officiating. Both goalies were simply amazing and my god, that game winning shot was a thing of beauty.

On the family front, my sister decided to double down on the insanity because my mother called me, she is on her first fucking vacation since her childhood, to ask me to please call my sister and apologize.

I just told my mother not to worry about it and enjoy her vacation. Part of me almost wants to know how my sister’s brain fucking works and the rational part of me just wants a beer.

SonOfSpam

You forgot the big Anteaters/Gauchos game for control of the Big West (which doesn’t matter at all, one bid league, etc).

Ok, so it’s not big. (Not the first time I’ve said that)

King Hippo

What is the betting angle??

King Hippo

Line is Irvine -2.5. All I know is the Gauchos always fucked NC State’s shit up (under V) whenever we played them as our “stopover” fixture on the way to Hawaii for a holiday tourney.

SonOfSpam

I have no opinion on this game betting-wise. Sorry (or better yet, you’re welcome).

rockingdog

Zot Zot bitches!!!!!!

Heeheehee, is there anything more delightful than watching this second stage of the explosion that is going on in Montreal right now?

/also better not forget to thank him for his service obvs

‘Mericans that kill people in unjustified wars are the true heroes. Ppl remember that.

Unsurprised

Also people who claim to have sniped looters from on top of the Super Dome.

Man, Chris Kyle was a giant piece of shit and it’s good that he’s dead.

King Hippo

Starting to feel better about my ginormous Purdue -8 tilt bet. If nothing else, them fuckers can get it on the glass. When ILL stops shooting +50%, they’ll get they ass whooped.

King Hippo

When they do the medal count, why aren’t the standings weighted? 3 fer gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze?

scotchnaut

TBH, I think that’s an American construct that rewards individual achievement (I’m Number One!) over team accomplishments.

Brick Meathook

You know, Donald Trump has a forty year documented history of being an idiot, but I’m starting to suspect he might also be mentally retarded. That would really explain a lot of things.

scotchnaut

Retarded? No.

Living Within A Bubble Of His Own Making: Yes.

Found a funny:

the funniest part of trumps plan to arm teachers is he keeps specifically mentioning coaches, who in his mind are the troops of teachers.

Viva La Tabula Raza

He was heavily influenced by his badminton coach at Wharton.

King Hippo

on FS1, you can watch Gene Keady pick his nose!

SCARY THOUGHT – Imagine if Boeheim coached in an arid climate, say, AZ or UT. Imagine how he’d be digging for gold up to his elbow every single second…

I’m really disappointed the Russian Curling ladies haven’t won more games. I guess they’ll just have to settle for being gorgeous…
