Hey hey folks!
Fuck am I doing here?
Since it’s pretty goddamn far away from Sunday morning that can only mean I’m guest hosting.
Neat!
Playoffs all up in this motherfucker tonight.
NHL gives us Rangers at Devils – already going
Lightning at Leafs – always fun to see everyone’s least favorite NHL team fall on their asses
Jets at Golden Knights
And Mr Ayo gets to unleash his first playoff Kraken as Seattle Visits Denver
Not to be outdone the NBA has the following:
ATL up in the BOS
K-nicks at the K-Cavs
Clippers at Suns – this series could be a shitload of fun.
Me? Well shit! I’m still at work as I write this for another good
/checks clock
Hour and a half give or take? Don’t feel sorry, now that Spring break is over traffic is up to it’s old fashioned asshole self and I’m just fine working a bit later, following along here with the rest of yez, and getting a few pages worth of reading done.
There will be plenty of time for sportage when I carry my ass home.
And you?
What kind of hijinks you been up to? What kind of alcohol led to said hijinks?
Share it all with the world folks. Just right down there in the comments.
Enjoy!
Alright folks a quick public service announcement regarding YouTube TV and the NFL Sunday Ticket.
I switched to YouTube TV about 3 months ago because fuck DirecTV and their horrible customer service.
Cons: minimal local channels and blackout rules apply to local MLB, NHL and NBA broadcasts.
HBOMAX isn’t the same dashboard but you can find most everything they have with the exception of some of their older series.
Pluses: easily a hundred bucks cheaper per month than DirecTV.
Every goddamn channel you can think of.
You can record EVERYTHING by recording and putting it on your library – there is a “+” sign on the broadcast feed, which allows you to record and fast forward through commercials! Which is an absolute must in my household. Unlimited storage for your library!
I just purchased the Sunday Ticket for 249 cash, lump sum instead of the 399 DirecTV was charging.
No drop off in picture quality.
No drop off in bad weather.
Did I mention the hundred bucks cheaper per month?
And you can share with 4 additional users.
This has been a public service announcement.
Also! You must have a smart TV and your TV remote is the primary remote.
Back in the day, DirecTV had pretty good customer service, like “came out to fix it on the 4th of July” good. But it was insanely expensive. By the time we added our premium packages it was $240 or so a month. We cut the cable three or four years ago, and I don’t regret it.
We had signed up for PSVue when we ditched DirecTV, but it sucked. Poor picture, poor software; the whole experience was bad. We just dropped it. Now we use local TV for the networks, and have a lot of the streaming services (Disney+, HBOMax, Netflix, etc.). That way I can get a pretty close approximation of the whole DirecTV “100 channels and nothing to watch” experience.
NFL Sunday Ticket used to have a student discount of $30/mo, which made the whole season $120 or so. Youtube might not offer it this year, but if they do I might have to pull the trigger.
It’s official: the Seattle Kraken franchise has more Stanley Cup Playoff victories than the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2023.
Apparently Marika likes to be covered in Balls…
Bah Gawd, is that Ballsofsteelandfury’s music I hear playing?
Some multi terrain tea bagging there Buddy.
Yeah it is!!
That Maple Leafs won’t win many games if they’re only going to put a Field Goal on the board.
The “kraken” Ayo’s going to release on the septic tank tomorrow will also be historic.
I can’t breathe.

The fact this is almost old enough to drive confuses and somewhat angers me.
Built differently.
For the first time in the history of the -shirt Household, the garage is clean, the attic is clean and the Christmas stuff is neatly put away instead of thrown in whatever corner it can fit into.
If anyone isn’t square with Jesus, now may be the time to make amends.
…
No, my family has made a pact to kill the first person to mess up the house. We’re committing…for a month or so.
If yinz are in the path of this, yinz is a lucky bastard:
A very rare ‘hybrid’ solar eclipse will take place Thursday, here’s how to watch (msn.com)
AD 2023: “A hybrid solar eclipse? Neat!”
2023 BC and I’m assuming, based on their representative, the Fourteenth Congressional District of Georgia: “SACRIFICE ALL THE VIRGINS! THE GODS ARE REALLY PISSED OFF!”
Jets up 2 rip, this is great.
That was a bad second goal to give up.
Connor Hellebuyck’s mask is fantastic
Napoli drew with Milano last night but lost on aggraget so they are out of Champions league. I need to head over and console Marika. This will take a while.
Narrator: It did not take a while.
She is amazing
She seems nice
Quite the influencer
The second edible may have not been necessary.
Ayo’s serving up Joe Flacco’s ELITE sandwiches already.
EDIT: Shit, that’s Ice Hawks’ first-ever playoff goal. So, history.
Damn right. History!
I’m amazed that people are disappointed at the prosped of Fox News having to pay $787 million as a result of carrying water for our orange turd of a former president. I think it’s absolutely awesome. And it’s crazy that people were thinking that Dominion was some kind of white knight. They’re a corporation, of course they have a price.
Could’ve taken them for more. I wanted a billion; something that might actually impact their stock price for more than six minutes.
The Smartmatic suit is still on its way. Not to mention a potential shareholder suit from investors.
If other suits keep ringing up bills like that, then okay. Collectively, that’d be great. I don’t want Dominion to be the one-off.
Yup. It wouldn’t matter what mealy-mouthed statement they agreed to read. It wouldn’t matter if a jury found against Fox — Trump lost a gajillion court cases and it didn’t dissuade the fanatics. You hit them where it hurts, in the wallet. Nothing else matters when it comes to corporations.
Isn’t this also great as a chance to open up the floodgates for other defamation suits?
I would expect so. I would think Fox would have to be extremely careful moving forward in terms of letting their guests make unfounded accusations.
But how will they replace that 75% of their programming?
Watching the Leaf game on an Canadian and then US channel and noticed that the ads on the boards are different between the stations. I guess the first down line on roids in action
Also love how the crowd is silent
Dedicated to Leaf fans:

I’ve noticed that the ads are different even within the same broadcast. Certain camera angles superimpose digital ads on the boards. Other angles (typically taken with the smaller cameras) show the boards as they are at the stadium.
Alright, we need a running clock in TOR STAT! Get these losers off my TV before the Kraken puck drop.
Jets Knights is fast.

Wakezilla,
RE: Work situation
Looking for another job gives you three things:
1- It distracts your mind from the shitty situation and keeps you going in a positive direction.
2- If it goes well, it gives you options. Options are your friends.
3- If it doesn’t go well, it gives you the patience to put up with the bullshit. It may be better to stay in a shitty situation than to be unemployed.
/I have a lot of difficulty falling asleep because there’s a gerbil up there in my brain
//there were a few other issues last night though
2:30am: [younger dog is whining, wants to be let out]
2:35am: [older dog realizes that younger dog is outside, barks at bedroom door, is let out]
2:45am: [both dogs are barking their heads off, wanting to be let back inside]
3:30am: [I finally fall back asleep]
4:30am: [wife yells out a blood-curdling scream]
Me: “You ok?”
Wife: “Wah? I dreamt an iceberg fell on me. Go back to sleep!”
Me: [Does. Not. Go. Back. To. Sleep.]
5:30 am: [colon] what about me?
Go on….

Hanging the tuddy on Laffs with literally 0.1 left in the second.
The Leafs losing in the playoffs is as inevitable and pathetic as Jeb Bush saying, “please clap”.
Death, taxes, Toronto flaming out in the first round
If they Fukushima Game Two…
TD, Ice Bucs!
Stop. I can only get so erect.
Rangers looking good in the “Battle Of The Teams The Kings Beat To Win The Stanley Cup About Ten Years Ago”
This is a banner.
Just like the two hanging from the rafters in DTLA.

Hi YR! Thx 4 asking! Finished up the meat and potatoes of a huge rollout at work. Real happy with it and seem to be getting good response from the team.
Have a industry meeting thing for a week in FLO-RIDA at end of the month i am preping for. It’s gonna be ugly.
Match penalty in YYZ. There’s so going to be civil disorder.
There’s already simmering tensions in the YYZ.
Love to see the Leafs loose
This is the best thing ever about the Leafs

Look at those jokers losing that damn hockey game!
Does anyone have any tips on how to stop giving a shit about your job that you once loved, so when your new boss keeps running your division into the ground, you don’t care?
I’d appreciate that. It’s surprisingly hard! (That’s what she said)
Start yelling at clouds and complaining about the young’uns.
Get a new job.
This
I’m looking!
I microwaved leftover catfish in the work microwave the day that our new acquirers came to a publicly-traded company that I worked for. I guess that just denoted that I had already stopped caring.
I’m with you, dedicated to work. A good thing though is I really love what I do and I only have to keep doing it for a few more years.
David Puddy ain’t liking this Game One.
Leafs losing is nice.
We’re one Game and day closer to LED (Leaf Elimination Day)
