Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Meanwhile, in the City…

Welp, what do we got for today? Apart from disproportionate Knicks hype, as of course, is tradition.

This gives a slight sigh of relief after an absolutely awful showing from the Rangers apart from their goalie. As, of course, is also tradition. No Quit in New York?

Yeah, it’s not good when I say “Welp, gotta rely on the Knicks now.” We know how that’s gone the last most of my life.

Yeah, definitely a different vibe when the Knicks are good. The Yankees are perennial, the Rangers letting down their goalie is eternal, the Giants and Jets don’t play for another four months, but there’s a weird optimistic hype with the Knicks being good and not being also-rans or at least playoff cannon fodder. Which is cool and all, especially because this Knicks team is still in the pleasant surprise category (see: 2017 Yankees, 2021-22 Rangers). So it’ll remain optimism around the team until the next regular-season losing streak. Which, hey, won’t be until November!

Okay, news. Last night had the good stuff, with the fifth-year options. But important stuff happened today too! Like…

Randall Cobb to the Jets on a 1-year deal.

Mahomes arrested… yeah, it’s Patrick’s brother. Again. The charge is aggravated sexual battery.

In AFL Beat news…

Tasmania will join the AFL as the 19th team in 2028!

What’s for sports?
AHL Calder Cup Playoffs! (Division semifinals, best of 5)
Providence vs. Hartford, 7:00 (Wolfpack lead 2-0)
Charlotte vs. Hershey, 7:00 (Bears lead 2-0)
Toronto vs. Utica (Series tied 1-1)
Rockford vs. Texas (Stars lead 2-0)
Manitoba vs. Milwaukee (Series tied 1-1)
Calgary vs. Abbotsford (Wranglers lead 2-0)
Colorado vs. Coachella Valley (Eagles lead 2-1)

*Gets call from above* Oh fine… fuckers.

Stanley Cup Second Round Action
Senor’s Continuous Persona 5 bits vs. Canes Man (NJ vs. CAR, Game 1) (7:00, ESPN)
McJesus and Pals vs. The Knights of Au (EDM vs. VGK, Game 1) (9:30, ESPN)

Almost time to follow basketball!
Infinite Process vs. Basketball P*ts (PHI vs. BOS, Game 2, 76ers lead 1-0) (8:00, TNT)

Lastly, a legend has passed. Peter Good, best known for designing the Hartford Whalers logo, passed away last night. For him, only one thing to do:

In the meantime, talk amongst your friends, and fuck the Devils, go Canes for this one round only (sorry Horatio). (Rooting interests are Panthers-Oilers/Knights, as one of my friends is from Vegas, but also it would be considered about damn time for McDavid.)

Senor Weaselo plays the violin. He tucks it right under his chin. When he isn't doing that, he enjoys watching his teams (Yankees, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers), trying to ingest enough capsaicin to make himself breathe fire (it hasn't happened yet), and scheming to acquire the Bryant Park zamboni.

Wait, why am I in the title?

Mr. Ayo

That’s called being “bannered”. Happens when you make a joke in a comment that is far more stupid and funny than other comments.

ballsofsteelandfury

The funny thing is that it’s been up for almost a week already and he’s just now noticing.

It’s chilly in here. What the fuck, SoCal? My sister in law is in South Dakota, it was 15⁰ warmer there today than here. I’m going to go take a hot bath. Here’s some porn.

I was genuinely shocked this afternoon when we walked the dog and I was wearing long sleeves and pants and I was still chilly. It’s SoCal, and it’s May!

I dig it. 60s is perfect for me.

69 is optimal.

Didn’t see this mentioned earlier, but if it was, feel free to mock me mercilessly

Looks like Mr. $ 230,000,000 ain’t out of the woods yet!!! (from yesterday)

“To this point, there has been no civil suit make it to trial but that is in jeopardy of changing.
Lauren Baxley, a licensed massage therapist, has accused Watson of improperly exposing himself to her and causing his genitals to touch her during a massage session in June 2020, when Watson was playing for the Houston Texans at the time.

“Today we filed a motion to put Lauren Baxley’s case on the trial docket, in the Houston court where it was originally filed,” attorney Tony Buzbee said. 
“All other victims in the Deshaun Watson litigation that this firm represented have settled their claims. Ms. Baxley, to her credit, has refused, and wants a public trial. I intend to help give her that. She is entitled to have a trial on her claims; I will proudly present her case. Ms. Baxley has a strong case, and I encourage the internet trolls to take note as we proceed.”

Oh, I’m thinking (& hoping) that Ms. Braxley will have PLENTY of money in a while…

Did the Oileurs think the game was over when they tied it?

Mr. Ayo

Draisaitl continues to be a cheat code.

Might need the Contra code.

This is superb news.

If they’re not The Devils then why bother?

ballsofsteelandfury

Oh trust me, everyone in Australia is saying “Fuck Warner Bros if they try to sue!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

WOO HOO! CELTICS RAWHK!

SonOfSpam

Too bad the Chiefs let Jackson Mahomes hang around the team so much; obviously, Andy Reid treated him like a son.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When I saw “sexual battery” in the headline I was worried it was Rex Grossman, because he’s well-known for his motor in that department.

Book Rec Time:

There were a few of us that liked Perdido Street Station a while back. Iron Council swims in that same universe and 150 pages in, it’s worth a read. I sorta compare this world to the Blood Meridian environment. All the characters swim in a completely amoral pool of existence. Arbitrary deaths occur here and there. Just like here in the “real” world.

/btw, don’t bother reading The Scar, total waste of time

This ice raiders vs ice elks is going to be the matchup of this round. So excited.

WCS

Full Game 7, and three of them go to overtime(s).

Mr. Ayo

Oh God yes, please.

King Hippo

Who does the Krakers match up better against?

Mr. Ayo

Neither. Pipe dream to think they’ll get that far anyway.

Korean BBQ today, dear Glod that was a lot of food

Gumbygirl

I just ordered pizza and wings. Conveniently, the pizza place here in Riverside sends me a coup for 50% off a large pie. Okeydoke, I’m in! I have a spanking new vape, a nice dog and a couple of cats to keep me company. And yinz too. Gumbygirl is chill.

We did an all-you-can-eat place one time. It was obscene.

Man I’m on a flight home right now. Watched some ad so get 20mins off wifi. This traveling east shit is weak. I’ve been up since about 4:30a AZ time and will arrive at my house around midnight. I’ve got to power through this flight without sleep or I’m doomed when I get home.

Thought you should know.

Brass Bonanza is what I call the floor beneath Lt. Michael Byrd.

Definitely not the Akira I am thinking about

Here’s another bananas play that wasn’t a game winner. It’s a back of the net to the opposing blue line saucer pass that results in the cheekiest of goals.

There isn’t enough THC in the solar system to undo that.

I don’t really care about any Halls of Fame, let alone the Rock one, but I’m still a little bitter that Warren Zevon didn’t make it in.

To be fair, the Cleveland HoF loaned Rick Wakeman’s hair dryer to RuPaul’s Drag Race.

They’re not in? Damn. Jann Wenner sucks, it’s probably a vendetta thing. Pissy bitch.

It should have been the Pop Music HoF. Who doesn’t love Willie Nelson? And how it is rock?

Your fave team-do you have a great play that occurred in-game but wasn’t a game-winner? I submit Sherman Douglas’ through-the-legs football pass to a streaking Stevie Thompson.
