Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 2025-13

FB_IMG_1744986909492

I liked last week’s list, so I’m going continue the bit. Here is a list of things I like that start with the letter G:

  • GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
  • Giggles
  • Girls
  • Green (the colour)
  • Globes (the map type)
  • Golf
  • Grass (the kind you play on, not the kind you smoke)
  • Grabass
  • Googool (the number)
  • Glasses (the kind you drink from)
  • Goober Grape

I could go on. However, I need to move on.

So, aside from THAT, what is there to talk about?

Soccer Update

Wrexham have secured promotion to the next level (the Championship) by beating Charlton Athletic 3-0 while Wycombe lost away to Leyton Orient. That’s three straight promotions in a row. The Bird is getting some tonight!

***

Draft Update

The Steelers got the QB they wanted in the 6th Round, Will Howard from THE Ohio State University. Remember a certain 6th rounder from a Big Ten School that ended up doing pretty well?

Let’s hope Will doesn’t kiss his children in the mouth. Yuck!

***

Golf Updates

I played an official Team Match Play game today. We squeaked by winning 1 UP. I managed to win us the 17th hole to go up by one hole. Then, on the 18th hole, our opponents had one guy with a par putt to win the hole (the rest of us had gotten bogeys) and tie the match. He missed the three footer.

We’ll take it. I should note that we played in the rain for about two thirds of the game. Luckily, the sun came out and now I’m going to take a shower before I get sick.

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Straight water, homey!

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Now, that is the woman I call Sweet Dee.

…and now the other side from last night. Husband is now frantically searching for his suicidal wife. This isn’t as uplifting.

Can I bum a cigarette off someone? I’ll bring it back after.

WCS

Thankfully, not related in any way.

That I’m aware of.

How can you question how much a guy loves football when we’re expecting and rewarding young men for business-decisions starting in 11th grade?

WCS

C’mon, Sens. Do the greatest thing in Canadian history since Ricky decided to sell cigarettes into Maine.

scotchnaut

Done!

WCS
Mr. Ayo

Annie Agar must be pissed!

WCS

His ex-wife who left him probably is.

rockingdog

That’s ROCKINGGGG!!!!

WCS

Hashtag Pauls drafted Dillon Gabriel two rounds before Shedeur, COACH PRIME guaranteed his sons wouldn’t play for Cleveland in 2018, and it’s going to be a quarterback room headlined by the remnants of three first-round picks, two rookies, and Deshaun Cosby’s tattered ligaments. This is Peak Pauls.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, it’s pretty clear that they are gunning for Chicago’s football comedy crown.

Doktor Zymm

I always considered the Browns to be more in the Greek Tragedy genre

Mr. Ayo

More free hockey!

The Leafs are going to be gassed next round even if they win this game.

Mr. Ayo

Oof. So the reverse sweep is now in play?

rockingdog

Found a funny:

Brother: my brother’s a dog-whisperer

Brother’s new gf: oh that’s great! My dog chews up the furniture when I’m gone, can you help?

Me, whispering: dog

rockingdog

Warriors vs Rockets 🏀

Hope this game is Rocking!!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Going to be hard to top Nuggets-Clippers.

Doktor Zymm

The rock and roll mystery writer aunt’s band is doing a reunion album! Although without the aunt 🙁

And Con O’Neill is guest starring as the band’s manager

There is also a missing Dachshund puppy!

Doktor Zymm

OH NO THE PUPPY IS DEAD!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not really though, right?

Mr. Ayo

In the conservatory with the candle?

Doktor Zymm

Close, it was the drummer so there was blunt trauma involved

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah but not really, right? For some reason they faked the dog’s death.

Gumbygirl

Bless your kind heart.

WCS

I didn’t realize you were watching a John Wick movie.

Hashtag Pauls seem JACKED they landed Shedeur!

Doktor Zymm

I did manage to get a little cleaning done before the sink incident, there sure are a lot of spiders in my apartment

Dunstan

I never know whether to be happy that there are spiders to prey on any other bugs in my apartment, or worry about what exactly those spiders are preying on…

Mr. Ayo

Look, no spider preys on humans.

Except the ones in your bed. Just don’t wake them up and you’ll be fine.

Doktor Zymm

More likely they crawl into your mouth and you eat them by accident. Everyone eats 20 spiders in their lifetime, and that’s a minimum, not an average. If you’re about to die and haven’t eaten enough they all run into your mouth

Mr. Ayo

Alright, this doesn’t make sense. Say your’e sleeping, right? Then all your body is doing is unconsciously beating that heart, and pumping those lungs. So to eat a spider, you’d have to swallow. But, that’s the same entryway as your lungs. And you’re only doing one of those while sleeping.

I call shenangians.

Doktor Zymm

Of course you swallow in your sleep, otherwise you would just overflow with spit

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/46823/

Mr. Ayo

Ah, only during movement phases. That no doubt would be initiated with a spider crawling all over your face and in your mouth. Sleep tight everyone!

Dunstan

It really sucks if you’re one of the people assigned to eat 20 tarantulas.

Doktor Zymm

Wouldn’t be so bad if you got to deep fry ’em first, maybe tempura

Gumbygirl

It might not prey on humans, but if I saw one of these in my house I’d be just as dead

Something I like that starts with G? Gin. Time for a rhubarb gin sour while the chili does its thing in the oven. Might have a cigar while the sun is still shining outside, too.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Gin is great….until it isn’t.

Don T

You know how in the cereal commercials there’s a big glass of orange juice and a “part of a complete breakfast” voiceover? Well, grabass is the oj of monogamous relationships.
🤔
¡Oh sí!

Doktor Zymm

Sherlock reference!
