pretty crazy not to be when you have, easily, the youngest audience among the 4 major US sports by average age

If Papa Roger would shut the fuck up about Margaret Thatcher and his dad dying in the war, we could possibly enjoy our dinner

Petition that I should be legally allowed to murder someone if they won't shut up during a movie and keep asking questions about what's going on, when paying attention to the film and being quiet might clear up the confusion

Delving into retro games from my childhood to pass the time. Playing Starfox 64 and have now realized that all of Fox McCloud's flying partners are complete dicks. Falco: passive-aggressive, jealous shithead Slippy: worthless and shitty at his job and always needing you to bail him out Peppy: speaks in catch-phrases and reminds Fox constantly of his dead dad. Joy-kill.

This is a guy who, two days before diagnosed, touched all of the microphones at his press conference as a joke ---- I'm getting pretty tired of people treating this like a joke. A younger guy yesterday told me people were being "pussies" for treating this so seriously. It's so selfish, only seeing it from your perspective. "I'll be fine, so it's no big deal!" Like...that guy will be fine. Rudy will be fine. I will be fine if I catch it, probably. But it's not about us, it's about who we might give it to.

The March Madness news did this for me. Of course, the NCAA is still forcing their players to go play, but to have no spectators... But hmm, yeah, a world-famous actor and an All-Defense NBA player both get the virus. I mean, what are the odds, there's only 1300 cases in America am i rite

So, I just saw the tiered-contract system and it's the most Vince McMahon thing ever. "The XFL will use a tiered contract system for signing players. Tier 1: $25,000 to $60,000 per game: 1 franchise player designation Tier 2: $15,000 to $17,500 per game: 3 slots per team Tier 3: $6,000 to $10,000 per game: 23 slots per team Tier 4: $5,000 to $6,000 per game: 18 slots per team" So, the guys within the locker room will not only be fighting the other team, but each other for the only high-paid slot. Good thinking. No in-fighting will come of this, I'm sure. "LAW OF THE JUNGLE GODDAMNIT" -VKM

I'm doing some research to get into the idea of going to a Class-A game, since the Bowling Green Hot Rods (Rays affiliate) play right down the street from me. I can't think of a sadder fate in sports than being the Rule 5 drafted guy who gets offered back to his previous team. Like, your previous team didn't protect you, then the new team that took you didn't want you, so back you go back to that previous team. That must suck

I enjoy the angle the Detroit Free Press decided to take on the Lions signing Danny Amendola. "HEY, THE NEW GUY ALMOST DIED ONCE. EVERYBODY GET HYPE" https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2019/03/11/detroit-lions-wr-danny-amendola/3127974002/

The only thing I remember about the old XFL was that I ended up going to the same school as He Hate Me. Oh, and the coin-toss substitute race for the ball that got everyone hurt.

Kobe played limited minutes all the time during the twilight of his career.

This is easily the best Eagles song and, unlike their 1000 cheesy radio hits, no one's ever heard of it #hottake

The MyPillow guy is the creepiest human being I've ever seen in my life. There is no way this guy is not a serial killer.

Everyone should experience it at least once. I went from hockey-basher to Nashville Predators fan in one trip that a friend and hockey fanatic thankfully talked me into Been to five games since This. I absolutely love LeBron and still consider him a distant #2

Hassan Whiteside would average 1.5 or so.

No idea why on earth basketball doesn't do this either. Is it because LeBron would average like 25 assists a game? I can relate to this in a way, but it's because my knee-jerk reaction, when I'm told over and over how great something is, is to find it underwhelming when I actually watch, simply because there's no way it was going to stack up to how it was being sold to me. Like when I rented 'Lost in Translation' after all my film-buff friends talked it up to the moon and I found myself really disappointed by it. Watched it again later and loved it due to the lack of over-elevated expectation Hockey is my least favorite sport of our Big 4 for me to watch on TV and to follow in general, and yet it's easily my favorite live experience.

It's like Vince Carter, only the exact opposite

Edit: Yeah, was being a bit too flippant with my post. This is pretty serious shit now that I'm reading the details.
