Your Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

Just feast your eyes on that glorious 100th year throwback Giants uniform. It’s got everything-crisp lines, easy-to-see numbers for the older fans, primary colors out the ying yang… Okay fine, they look far more like a Canadiens jersey that Howie Morenz may have worn back in 1924. I will not be spending any money on that travesty. Sheesh, even the 70’s unis that those shitty Giants teams wore look better than that. Hot take, I know.

Obit Time:

Darren Dutchyshen, nicknamed “Dutchy” believe it or not, was a staple on TSN since 1995. He passed away due to prostate cancer yesterday. I’d have bet my last loonie that it would have been complications from long-term steroid use because that guy was incredibly jacked during his entire tenure.

Obit #2:

Alice Munro, Canadian short story writer and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013 also passed away recently. Her concise stories of women’s inner lives were a revelation to me. How she could write with such a deft touch about relationships and then almost take your breath away in the final few sentences is a gift that few have.

Cars: The Sequel:

Chiefs rookie wr Xavier Worthy had his vehicle stolen tudder day. This may come as a shock to you but no member of the Kansas City organization injured a young child, left the scene of an accident or was charged with a crime!

Basketball:

Joker and The Nuglets can close out Minny tonight.

Hockey:

Edmonton and Vancouver are tied at two games apiece and I’ve had to listen to fly-by-night hockey fans say, “why do two Canadian teams have to play each other? That’s one less chance that one of our teams will be in the final!” Stop it with the silly questions/observations.

Hockey Again:

The Stumbling Rangers can end their series but the tide is turning.

This is your abridged version. Good night.
