      • Dallas just wouldn’t pony up the picks.
    • The Patriots were looking into Baker Mayfield at #2 if the Browns didn’t take him.
      • It seems, based on reading between the lines at PFT, that the Patriots were looking to both find Brady’s potential replacement and fuck over the Jets, who really had their heart set on Mayfield.

winnepeg vs nashville

who should I root against and why?

ballsofsteelandfury

Winnipeg because it’s a tiny town in the middle of nowhere that lost their original team to Gary Bettman’s Greed.

herodotus450

But how can you root for a city that has no parks?

litre_cola

It really sucked when they left. Total bullshit.

WCS

They’re back, though. That’s what matters. Now, we need the Nordiques to return, and then Hartford.

King Hippo

a-fucking-men

Mr. Ayo

After Seattle of course

litre_cola

Move Carolina back to Hartford. Florida to Quebec and add Seattle. 32 teams, even number in each conference.

WCS

Works for me.

King Hippo

FishTossers, naturally.

King Hippo

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL.

I love hanging with you sons a bitches but the eyelids are giving way to gravity. See ya tommorra.

King Hippo

it’s only a day away, ninja!

herodotus450

Dustin Byfuglien, Brett Favre, and Mike Krykyewski should all start a club or something.

King Hippo

A Dirt Jest comeback would be mighty nice.

litre_cola

This game has been excellent. The game speed is ridiculous.

herodotus450

Pekka Rinne looking moar like Swiss Cheese ?

scotchnaut

Delivery lady flashed considerable cleavage while getting my food. Can I sue her for me almost getting a semi? I’ll hang up and wait for your sarcasm.

...

She’d be fine with just a tip

litre_cola

Woke up Decilitre. I regret nothing.

King Hippo

get a couple white noise machines off Amazon. Spring the extra $10 for the 2-speed varietal.

Mr. Ayo

WTF happened in WPG?

Ummm. Irregardless of herodotus’ comments, this game is good.

Gratliff

For the record, Nak just uppercut AJ’s balls again and it was wonderful. This is my favorite gimmick currently. Resurrecting NJPW CHAOS Nakamura was an inspired choice. They even gave him shitty Japanese rap rock over his theme to keep fans from singing along to it. It’s so good.

Ugh…my employer made me upgrade to a new Windows 10 machine, from my old Windows 8 because I could run a really old program through a virtual machine on the old box.

So for three hours, I was trying to install and get my shit to work. I ended up getting motion sickness just trying to deal with the fucking screen resolution that for reasons I cannot possibly fathom, Microsoft has made it impossible to fucking actually adjust to a setting that doesn’t make me nauseous.

I would really love it if every time fucking windows came out with a new addition, I didn’t have to hack it so it does basic shit.

I haven’t seen that many ineffectual passes by Washington since… every day when Congress is in session.

Had no idea that you were able to channel pre-9/11 Dennis Miller. Impressive!

/just having fun

herodotus450

[Opens door to room where The Capital Steps are handcuffed to typewriters.]
They’re on to us, pack up and get out of here!

Suspend his ass.

DFO is not your private erotica site. Get your shit together.

Does anyone dip their fries in steak sauce? Let me know so that I can put you on my “Dead To Me” list.

The Brothers Garrett should invite Braden Holtby to a Finest Eatings Club luncheon.

scotchnaut

Braden Holtby lets in a goal, seriously reconsiders his private school upbringing.

herodotus450

Holtby: “Do you know who my father is!?”
Puck Deflection: “…”

Holy merde, when I said “bad feeling” I didn’t envision “snuff film”

herodotus450

That goal may have just killed Don Cherry

King Hippo

at least there’s a silver lining, eh?

herodotus450

Just silver? Seems a little bland…

scotchnaut

I’ve been drinking for 5 hours now and just ordered delivery-I might get a club sandwich with onion rings
or a blaf somedue wit bunion rinks. Either way, I’m good.

Malkin really giving this series the shot of Vitamin R it needed.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Not going to argue the team’s usual dependence on rat tits.

herodotus450

Just realized that all Pottsburgh sprots teams have the same colors, how imaginative. “Your lungs after working in the mines” black and “color of the water after they blew up the mountain” yellow.

King Hippo

I have a baaaaadddd feeling about WPG, sorry in advance Litre.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Really thought WPG was a soccer team or something for a minute…

King Hippo

Nah, that’s CRB. I did have 2 bills on them to also win the 2nd half against Campinense to cover the dumb bet I made on the stupid Dirt Jest.

Which they did. WOO BRASIL LESSER FOOTY!!!

/need the anti-beisbol GAMBLOR discipline I have developed in Ice Footy

theeWeeBabySeamus

They might have run out of gas.
Or in their case, jet fuel.

litre_cola

Thanks. I have a bad feeling about this.

Little Known Fact:

Capitols coach Barry Trotsky’s grandfather was assassinated with an ice pick through the brain in Mexico City in 1941.

Name-wise, Braden Holby is a Johns Hopkins lacrosse player masquerading as an NHL goalie.

King Hippo

His hobbies include yachting and date rape…

WCS

Johns Hopkins or Duke?

scotchnaut

Meh, Duke is over-done these days…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Often at the same time.

ballsofsteelandfury

It’s about the implication.

theeWeeBabySeamus

What are you implying?

If Dez Bryant signs a minimum veteran’s contract for anyone, I will know in my heart of hearts that everything is going to be okay again.

herodotus450

A supremely talented, disgruntled diva receiver coming off a bad year has never helped out a team like, oh let’s say, the Patriots win a bunch of super bowls, have they? NOT OK.

scotchnaut

[thinks back to that time (2007) I drafted Brady in the second round and a washed-up Randy Moss in the eighth and went undefeated in my fantasy league]

“You might be onto something here, herotodus.”

herodotus450

Ah the good ol days, when NE was a defensive team and Brady had the “game manager” label. Though I guess the Moss years are exactly when that changed.

herodotus450

Shady Shopkeeper: “This game comes with a free Evgeni Malkin!”
Caps: “That’s bad.”
SS: “Yes, yes it is.”

I have a friend of a friend who was a bar back at “Patriot Place” during the draft and saw Belichick, Kraft and other front office people. I’ve been trying to figure out who they actually are, but apparently someone named “Wheeler” FREAKED out on the staff when they said they were out of gin.

It seems like that organization is very used to getting their way. It’s would be a shame if that were to stop happening soon…

herodotus450

[taps side of nose]
Gotcha. Don’t let them get their way…
[drinks all gin, everywhere]

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Someone hire this man. He gets it.

SOLIDARITY!

Ya see, back in the old days the denial of god’s existence was toyed about by many smart fellers. The notion that God didn’t exist and how it would fuck with the notion of time was something that Nietzsche was the first to shine the light on. Yeah, The Eternal Return was a total mind fuck for a youngster by the name of scotchteen.
