Your Post-NHL All-Star Game Open Thread

It’s a Sunday without real football for the first time since forever. How are you going to cope? I might go see my nephew play hockey in the rockin’ metropolis of Blind River! (mentioned in at least one Neil Young song and in a few novels I’ve read) Unless I decide not to, which is always a possibility.

Let’s scan some stuff and say stupid things about them.

Duke vs. UNC: Once go-to TV watching even for neutrals, now I’m once again disappointed that meth-addled wolves weren’t let loose in the facility. (I hope the heroes that eventually do this don’t forget to lock all the exits)

Bilepool hopes to maintain its five point lead on Man City with a win vs Arsehole today. Tomorrow Man City will pile on Brentford and it won’t be pretty.

Mbappe is going to The Real Madrid according to ‘sources’-don’t really know what this means.

Kliff Kingsbury, author of Kliffball: You Know You Can is now talking with the Commies after his hire by the Raiders fell apart during contract negotiations. Did he ask for an office or something equally outrageous? I was looking to make a comment about his further debasement and operating out of a distant corner of the Raiders facility but it just didn’t come together.

Getsy is the Raiders OC they really wanted so he’s headed to Vegas. He’s already played the scapegoat once so he’ll be comfy there.

The Giants continue to be without a DC. Usually this would just fall in line with the org’s moribund-ic (hey look, a new word!) nature but I think they’re going to yank someone off the branch of the nascent Steve Spagnuolo coaching tree and that’s why there’s a delay. There’s going to be a familiarity there because he was around for the upset glory years. Apparently the Seahawks wanted to kick the tires on Kafka as OC but the Giants, like a chess player with a small device in his rectum, blocked that lateral move.

Is there still a wide disparity in various women’s college basketball programs? The Gonzagettes beat Pacific 104-39 last night.

Curry scored 60 last night. “Are players scoring too much these days?” is a question that was posed on one of the yackety-yack sports shows that I tend to listen to on Sirius-I turned that one off immediately. What else are they supposed to do?

Well, that’s some of the items I came across. If there’s something that caught your eye (sports or otherwise) please share it with us.
