Your Monday Night Open Thread

Let’s get right to it.

Aldon Smith:

He passed away recently at the age of 36. His career got off to a ridiculous start as he had a combined 33 1/2 sacks(!) and 56 QB hits as a rookie and soph. He looked the part of a 15 year pro with an extraordinarily bright future filled with Pro Bowls. But as it goes with those suffering from various addictions, the wheels fell off very quickly. He was found unresponsive after having delivered some donated pizzas. Crap.

Look Away, Horatio:

Congrats are in order for the Hurricanes, this year’s Stanley Cup champeens. Staal becomes the oldest Conn Smythe winner. Their win actually makes me feel good about the Senators (“It’s always about the Senators, isn’t it scotchy?”) given that most games were close and the latter’s defensive unit was absolutely decimated.

New York, New York:

It’s a helluva town that deserves a championship. (hey didn’t the Liberty just win one recently? Shutup!) Now we don’t have to listen to the whiny NY media go on and on about the drought. (they’ll pivot towards some other whiny narrative though)

There’s soccer going on.
