2022 Post-Plague “Madness Can Go Screw” Flacco Eight Sunday Thread

I now remember how/why/how much I hate basketball.  But, I have imaginarium obligations, so the games are below.  I have added a picture of Kaylyn Kyle, because (i) she is PERFECT; and (ii) all eyes are on Canadia Lesser Footy this weekend.  The rest is just trash to pass the time.

10MW Miami-FL (+6) v. 1MW Kansas (2:20, CBS)

I’ve said over and over how shite the Canes are, and that they can’t stay within 20 of Rock Chalk.  Because I hate Kansas, this will be a rare Hippo prediction that will come to pass.

15E St. Peter’s (+8) v. 8E U*NC (5:05, CBS)

This is where the sportsball media will INSIST that we get “tired” of Cinderella stories and really, deep down want to see the “blue bloods” in the latter stages.  As such, I will enforce a complete media blackout during this game.  I will not watch, will not track scores, and hopefully not endure a fatal Kubiak.

Everybody wave at Litre, GTD, scotchy, and all our other imaginary Canadia pals!!

So cool that the men have qualified. Would be great if they follow the trajectory of the women’s team.

NEW THREAD!

Well, would you look at that, dear fellows! The British North Americans will be taking their talents to the Arabian Peninsula this autumn! Let us hope that they can restore British influence in the Middle East and capture those lucrative petroleum reserves that we originally discovered!

ballsofsteelandfury

Indeed. Our man on the ground may be imbibing a few more gin and tonics than usual to celebrate!

LOL

A Final Four of Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and Villanova would be the ultimate “the house always wins” energy.

Jamaica has been more outclassed than the Unkversity of Phoenix at the Middle States Assn. Portoberfest.

It will be a talking point on the Dan Le Betard podcast this week.

How bad is the Miami bench that a guy with his hand all taped up to his wrist is still playing

How tired are they from the last game? How hungover are they from last night?

I don’t understand what the big deal is, Eli Manning used to play with his mittens pinned to his jacket all the time.

And he’s just fouled out. Lol

NASCAR is a road course this week. Nice, but if they really want to get viewers, they should do a race on a highways. I-95 S from Jacksonville to Miami or I-40 E from Knoxville, TN to Asheville, NC.

Game Time Decision

But are they allowed to turn right?

Redshirt

In both races, they are turning right and left. The turns are so sharp, they’ll be in 2nd gear for most of the race and in 1st gear for some turns.

I’ll start watching NASCAR when all the driver’s have to drink a 6-pack of Bud Light, get #upforwhatever, and then start their engines.

Let’s go old school and have cop cars trying to catch them.

Miami: “You Can’t Handle This Pace!”

Who’d have thought young people from Miami would be so jittery and energetic!

I have no idea what the fuck is going on there. None.

It was supposed to be a Bad Boys image.

scotchnaut

A Bad Boys image? Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

I was following along until the left turn arrow.

Sean Penn says he’ll ‘smelt’ his Oscars if Zelensky isn’t allowed to speak at the Academy Awards (yahoo.com)

One: Proof the Acadamy Awards are getting way too political.
Two: Zelenskyy doesn’t have time to phone in to your annual televised circle-jerk; he’s trying to win a war.
Three: If I could give a less of a shit what Sean Penn thinks, I’d be kissing Putin’s ass so hard, fast and sensuous, I’d make Trump go oranger in envy.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t know why anyone is talking about this, to be honest. The Oscars are going to be from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. in Kyiv time; Zelensky should be sleeping anyways.

Game Time Decision

If only there was a way to allow him to make a speech and have it play later.

CONGRESS do something

One: Proof the Academy Awards are getting way too political

Yes.

scotchnaut

Oscar’s have always been political is my point.

Redshirt

It was passively. It picked up a bit when Bush 43 and Obama became President but when Trump took over, they really ramped it up. I don’t blame them because Trump set the terms, but if I wanted to spend hours being told over and over again how everything I believe in is wrong and I’m responsible for destroying the world, I’d visit my parents.

scotchnaut

That was passive? Really worried about your definition of aggressive.

Well, my taxes are done. Since I’m not rich, I had to actually to pay them.

Thinking about watching the NBA-anyone remember which team Lebron plays for? My money’s on The Heat.

99.99999% sure he plays for the Grizzlies.

It’s so weird to see celebrities like [don’t know his name] Jonas doing ads for pharmaceuticals.

I meant young and sexy celebrities.
