We’re all of us now at the end of the second day of “Super Bowl Week”. Things are starting to come together. It’s been announced that Lady Gaga will be singing The Star-Spunkled Banner before the game. Word has it that Johnny Manziel is going to be dropped by the Browns in March. Some dumb-ass school celebrated “99th Day” as a tribute to the hardest working “look-at-me, DAMMIT!” DE in the league. Eugene Robinson, yeah that Eugene Robinson, warned the Panthers that they should stay focused on the goal at hand “And no matter how hot she is, don’t offer any woman money for sex before the big game-save it for after the big one. Heh, Big One. PHRASING! AM I RIGHT?” Sound advice, Eugene Robinson, sound advice.
Games-wise the NBA sucks until further notice. (why they don’t play on a larger ice surface continues to befuddle me). Speaking of the NHL, your humblest (for the time being) of open thread bloggers was kind enough to give youse guys a preview of tonight’s games last night so that everyone could sit down and give some serious thought as to why they don’t watch such a fast-paced, engaging, violent game. I won’t be watching any hockey ce soir because my beloved Cuse is playing. Lesser teams on the college slate include #20 Kentucky, #1 Oklahoma, #22 Indiana, #11 Providence, (is Dunn that good?) and #14 WVU and #13 ISU. IGNORE THE AFORE-MENTIONED GAMES AT YOUR OWN PERIL, BRETHREN!

He gave “Superstore” a higher grade than “Bojack Horseman”.
I am not familiar with either, but I’m trusting you on this. You don’t just toss around that insult casually.

I checked his post history; I don’t see anything that suggests praise of the Big Bang Theory, so he’s not Hitler or anything, but Bojack Horseman is Very Good and I feel very comfortable assuming that Superstore is not.
A little research indicates he has a sense of humor that does not coincide with mine.

And with 2 goals scored in about 15 seconds, this Ice Eskimos/Ice Bengals should be over with the Ice Eskimos up 4-1.
David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian?
John Travolta as Bob Shapiro?
/My wife just fell asleep in front of it and I took great pleasure in turning it off.
He looks like a smarmy bastard that would unleash the Kardashians upon us.
He also looks like the kind of guy who would use Kris as a beard
Both of them in Goatse; The Movie?
The new logo of the Ice Argonauts starting next year:

Very akin to the factory of sadness releasing their ‘new’ colour of orange uniforms last year.
Best description.
Going old school, I see:

1933 was a good year
This is the appropriate moment to again say, “Fuck Harold Ballard”. I hope he’s enjoying hell.
Should’ve included “NHL Participant Since 1967” somewhere in there.
Cuse steals a game in OT and boy, was it ugly.
So I guess we should talk about Comedy Central.
Specifically, the sitcoms.
More specifically, Workaholics and Broad City.
Is making the audience want to kill everyone on the show the new funny?
Because I want to kill everyone on both of those shows. Slowly. Painfully. While they’re forced to watch both shows at once.
So if that’s the joke I guess I get it, It’s just not funny. At all. Even a little bit.
Or are they just homicide-inducingly terrible comedies? I’m think I’m going with that.
http://www.relatably.com/q/img/funny-quotes-about-workaholics/46031861194911b2a9f84af349c95fc0.jpg
I haven’t seen any of those shows. Glad I havent.
You could be watching broke girls.
At least then it’s Kat Dennings telling terrible jokes:
Is the new Season of Broad City out?
I thought Workaholics started off OK, but I think they’ve run out of gas. I haven’t seen any of their new season, if it has been released.
Broad City is pretty good. Though, with Hillary “Voter Fraud that main stream media isn’t talking about” expected to make a cameo this season, my expectations for this season is pretty low.
Leslie Nielsen was a comedic genius.
Connor McDavid of the Ice Eskimos just scored a goal so dirty, Daniel Holtzclaw just got tingles on the back of his neck.
So since you’re all updating what you’re watching, I’ll chime in.
So the Octonauts just found a saltwater crocodile in the Antarctic Ocean. Crazy, I know, right? So Captain Barnacles sounded the Octo Alert to save the crocodile. But now my son and daughter are having a lightsaber vs. golf club duel, so there’s a lot going on right now.
Starring Sweet Dee as Cpt. Barnacle?
Missing the boat sucks.
South Park reruns on the DVR.

Totally forgot the OJ Simpson thing was on tonight.
The best joke in that sequence.
George Lucas should have stolen that sequence for the fall of Anakin Skywalker from Ep3. It would have totally redeemed Hayden Christensen.
Eh, it was basically the same thing. Just longer. And funnier.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In rebuttal to myself, I don’t approve of anybody else scoring any of the goals as the Ice Giants lose 3-2 to the Ice, um, Scarlet Knights?
Sorry, here’s a cheat sheet for you to call our Canadian teams, eh.
Ottawa= Ice RedBlacks
Toronto= Ice Argonauts
Montreal= Ice Alouettes
Winnipeg= Ice Blue Bombers
Calgary= Ice Stampeders
Edmonton= Ice Eskimos
Vancouver= Ice Lions (Liouns?)
Who are the Ice Rough Riders?
20 years ago, it’d be Ottawa. When Ottawa returned to the CFL 2-3 years ago, Saskatchewan threatened to sue if they used the RoughRiders name. So they went with Redblacks.
Sadly, nobody is the Ice Rough Riders now.
God Damnit. I thought Ice Giants were playing Ice Redblacks.
I guess they’d be the Ice Hitmen?
Either that or the Ice Generals, if we’re going USFL?
Sigh. The powerplay (or lack therof) is killing me.
Brad Marchand getting hit hard is like foreplay

So a friend of mine was chatting with me about how she made ribs last weekend, and then all I could think about was delicious ribs and how wonderful it would be if I could have some ribs right now and man would I sure like some ribs and then I realized this must be the way Andy Reid feels ALL THE TIME.
If enough people get together and think about ribs simultaneously, Andy Reid will begin spontaneously sweating.
Imagine a stadium of KC fans thinking “ribs”…then abruptly, “broccoli.”
Andy Reid
The key to any rib rub is Rubbed Dalmatian Sage.
It’s the hairs from the leaves, the very essence of sage flavor, kind of like the red hairs on a nice bud.
That and decent paprika. If you use crap paprika your rub is going to taste like chalk.
I almost always use sage on pork but I’ve never heard of this. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
I usually stick to Old Spice, but thanks for the suggestions.

I save that for the sauce.
Are you all excited for the new Maple Leaves jersey?
I hope the McDavid can go on a tear for the Ice Eskimos because my pool went in the shitter as soon as he went down.
Once again, I approve of this “JT Miller scoring all the goals” thing.
Don’t know anything about him but it’s got to beat this “TJ Miller annoying the shit out of me” thing.
Anyone else think WVU is going to be curbstomped?
Ugh I just had some mediocre Chinese food. Any of you DC DFOers have a rec for something above average in that genre?
Goals for some, also goals for others?
Tiny American and Canadian flags for all.
Goalies no good?
Brand new game, Scotchy. Dagnabbit.
I honestly thought the Sens would roll over.
Real Life Conversation at Work #1:
Me: Who do you guys supporting in the Primaries?
Worker #1: I don’t have one.
Worker #2: Me neither.
(end conversation)
Real Life Conversation at Work #2:
Me: Who do you guys rooting for in the Super Bowl?
Worker #1: Broncos.
Worker #2: Panthers.
Worker #1: Though its should be a good game.
Worker #2: Are you sure? Manning’s arm isn’t what it used to be.
(conversation continues for five minutes)
God Bless America!
Pens-Sens is either going to finish 3-2, or 7-5.
6 — 5.
Not too shabby.
YOU GET A GOAL! AND YOU GET A GOAL! AND YOU GET A GOAL!
While Peanut Ball-Paunch Tillman is on tv, I just want to say that he was the best player on the 05&06 Bears defense.
Briggs was coming on pretty strong at that point too.
Sens got SO MAD at the review going against them that they shot the puck on the Pens net for the first time tonight.
My oldest came home singing, “I love it when you call me Big Pop-pa”. So proud.
Ice Stillers and then WVU hoops? LET THE ANGRY DRINKING BEGIN!
[tips hat]
[pours VERY generous scotch beverage]
I guess I should reciprocate.
Okay, fine. I’m watching the Sens/Pit tilt until Cuse starts. No penalties have been called but it looks as though the Pens have been on the power play since the puck was dropped.
/GAH! Pens 1-0
Oh be quiet. The Sens are playing very well for a team that doesn’t have a shot on net after ten minutes.
Scotchy, I had no idea you were a fellow Orangeperson. Rock on!
Love me the Orange. I figure they let Virginny Tech hang around so that my blood pressure will be compromised.
What’s all this about a “Super Bowl”?
It’s what they’re calling above-average owls these days…
I know, right? That’s what they called it like a year ago. Originality NFL, get some! smdh
