Coming off the second week of Champions’ League games, we now have a better gauge as to who will pass on to the next stage. Sort of. To recap, here are the results in the first legs (Home teams listed first):
Juventus 2 – 2 Tottenham
FC Basel 0 – 4 Manchester City
Porto 0 – 5 Liverpool
Real Madrid 3 – 1 Paris St. Germain
Bayern Munich 5 – 0 Beşiktaş
Chelsea 1 – 1 Barcelona
Sevilla 0 – 0 Manchester United
Shaktar Donestk 2 – 1 Roma
This all means that Liverpool, Man City, and Bayern are safely through. Everything else is up in the air. Well, Real probably have the next best shot to go through, but a PSG 2-0 win at home would do the trick. It will be interesting to see if they have that in them.
In the meantime, we STILL have league action going on! There is not much movement as Man City is ahead of Man United by a comfortable 16 points, Bayern is ahead in the Bundesliga by a comfortable 19 points, and Paris St. Germain is ahead in the French Ligue 1 by a comfortable 12 points.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is ahead in La Liga by a not-so-comfortable 7 points over Atlético Madrid with a head-to-head meeting coming up on March 4. Juventus still trails Napoli by one in Serie A.
Here are today’s matches, first for the US and then Canada:
Damn, I guess it’s Tax Season…
Ok, you heathens, have at it!
Who was complaining about being gassy earlier? Because local retailers can confirm I too am suffering.
I finally get to post a FailRace gif!

on the funny ha ha side, Pitt has seven points at halftime. At home. This is not a drill.

yep, South Cakalaky has lost almost all of their lead. Washington is losing to FUCKING CAL. As many random bets as I made, I could lose every single one (hoops varietal). Probably like 10,000 to 1 odds of THAT. This world…is NAWT for Hippo.
LMAO, Danny Manning’s tenure as head “coach”
ok, Bees dead. Your turn, Chickens.
Somebody discovered the secret cat stash.
D’awwwwwwwwww
Caps take sole possession of third place, fulfilling the prophecy

So who are we betting tonight???????????
Too soon?
(I actually am looking at tonight’s lines atm)
I bet Cuse, K State, Wazzu, and SJ State ML, Cuse, Washington, and Santa Clara (hee hee) ATS.
Okie State has 1 point lead with 18 seconds left. I know I’m fucked
godfuckingdamnit!!!!!
Wichita turns it over AND BLOWS THE COVER with 2 seconds left
oh shit, BC
Hey, I got some love notes today in the mail from two hot chicks.
One named Li’l WCS, and another named Li’ler WCS.
Here I was thinking that Yemen didn’t have internet service. #themoreyouknow
/going for a drunken snooze
//hoping I wake up before Cuse/Duke
Nobody blows a double digit 2nd half lead like…any team I have a ML bet on.
I’d pay extra for that cake.
Happy Birthday, Najeh!!
NICE!
As would Gene….

Love everything Gene says. Also love that the voice guy looks like him.
In all honesty, I’m kind of glad UA is the poster child for this scandal. I mean, they were gonna get pulled into any major scandal that included Utah and USC. But UA managed to have an arrest on opening day. And while it’s definitely bad ($100K for a kid to come play ball someplace), I’m glad they weren’t protecting sexual abusers or whatever.
And who knows, maybe if the NCAA is actually fundamentally changed out of all this, Arizona will be a footnote case in the change beginning. Also, I find the entire saga more interesting with a cast or characters I know.
but they won’t. They will say Ville and AZ are “rogues” and turn a blind eye to everyone else
True, they still got the moral high ground over Penn State. As does every school outside of Trump University.
The hilarious thing that is going to happen if the NCAA does “fundamentally” change is that…you can cover for a pedophile for over 10 years and not get punished meaningfully…
You can run a rape ring that takes down an entire Olympic sport for over 10 years…and not get punished meaningfully…
Poor black folks getting paid?!?!
HOLY SHIT WE’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING!!!
fuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkk, BDSM State is paddling my balls
Japan upsets GBR in women’s curling…
Scary Wheat best not blow the cover
Did I ever tell you guys I dated Gordie Howe’s niece for a short period of time once?
No shit.
She was very cute. But also a huge pain in the ass. And I never did get to meet “Uncle Gordie”.
Bitch.
Ever go five-hole?
THERE WE GO! HEEEEEEYOOOOO!!
No comment.
Also…yes.
how were her teeth?
Her dentition was quite lovely, actually. As was the rest of her. Outwardly.
But as I said, she was a huge pain in the ass.
When I broke it off, she did try to punch me tho. Good thing I had my fight strap buckled up that night.
Our first date was at Amedeo’s, btw. True Story, Bro.
“Broken Flowers”?
Yes.
Did I ever tell you guys that I banged a girlie that married a dude that ended up winning a Grey Cup?
Grey Cup Eskimo Brothers? Did you rough ride her?
So does anyone else find it HILARIOUS that the NCAA is trying to make the argument against paying student athletes the same as student employees with the Vanskike v. Peters case?
That is the case in which a federal prisoner sued, arguing that his force prison labor was illegal unless he was paid at least the federal minimum wage.
The court ruled against him because the 13th amendment, while outlawing slavery, has the clause …”
except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted…”.
The NCAA, an organization that just made cool $8.8 billion off of CBS for the broadcast rights of March Madness, is arguing that student athletes are the equivalent of CONVICTED prisoners.
Even more insane…the NCAA has made this argument in the past and fucking won.
White people…always finding ways to enslave black folk…
absolutely agree that the NCAA cabal is paternal racism at its most blatant
I like the part where the school makes $$ off jerseys with the athlete’s name/number on them.
“Um, that’s my name…can I share some of the profits?”
“FUCK YOU. YOU ALREADY GET TO TAKE BOTANY YOU FUCKING INGRATE.”
Larry Scott is going to have these refs make sure Arizona loses out and USC wins out so the Trojans get the conference outright.
Arizona will score 25 points in the conference tournament.
a little perimeter defensing, Scary Wheat? shitmonkeys
That’s not mah name! That’s not mah name!!
Pointless Debate Question: Best at assists: Messi, Gretzky, or Bird?
Messi
This question could get messi.
For his time? I’m taking Booby Orr.
/#boobies!
He was the tits.
Bird NO ONE DENIES THIS.
(For real? Prolly Gretzky, followed by Magic.)
Belladonna is the best.

Sean Miller not coaching tonight. Somebody check on Blax…
Damn it! Last away game of the year! I wanted to see that UO crowd let Miller have it for two hours straight!
AZ now +7/+290 ML at Oh-ray-GAWNE tonight. That’s tempting, they could rally, play for each other, etc.
Tonight, or ever again. MAYBE.
But PRO TIP – Scary Wheat ballhandling too dicey FOAR NCAAT success.
new LYFE goal – take an 8!
Nair head-to-toe first.
That is for professionals/ advanced users only.
Okie State, Scary Wheat, doing goods.
I see you assholes are still doing the same shit you were doing when I left this morning.
Good News: Real Estate agent is more on the ball than I thought. House is already on the market and the sign is up.

Billy Joel’s cameo in The Princess Bride is an overwrought piece of acting garbage.
Billy Joel is just fucking awful. In every possible way.
Meh. He’s just a piano man.
HEY! He needs to hate for no reason; it’s what keeps him ALIVE!
*True for 99% of the internetswebs.
Mah hate does keep me alive, pretty sure.
Do you mean Billy Crystal or are you confusing Billy Joel with Andre the Giant?
Absolutely!
Billy Crystal is also fucking garbage. Andre the Giant, well he HAS A POSSE!
