Pointless EPL Weekend WOO!

Huzzah FOAR Foxy Footy, your 2015-16 English Premier League champions!!

Thanks to Chelski rallying from a 2-nil halftime deficit to draw Spurs, the title race is over. So…now what?

FUCKALL. That’s what.

There’s the race to the bottom, but annoyingly enough, the Barcodes have by far the easiest schedule and thusly path to safety. So it looks like Sunderland and Norwich will join Villa on the journey down.

And I suppose there is just a tiny bit of suspense in who finishes 3rd (last CL slot without playing in the qualifying rounds) and 4th (last CL slot period), but…meh.

On teevee Saturday, Norwich play United first (7:45, NBCSN), needing 3 to keep hope alive. United is the side chasing 4th. Villa/Newcastle (10:00, NBCSN) and Sunderland/Chelski (10:00, USA) are next. See what I mean by schedule?

Lastly, tune into USA for the spotlight dance at 12:30, to see Leicester’s home finale. Will they be too hungover to throttle Everton and “dead man walking” manager Roberto Martinez? I am betting not, but maybe it will only be 2-nil instead of 4 or 5.

Sunday starts with Spurs and Soton (8:30, NBCSN), and one has to wonder what the atmosphere at White Hart Lane (and the spirit in the home side) will be like. 3rd place Arsenal and 4th place City go at it to close the weekend (11:00, NBCSN), and they will swap positions (on goal differential) if City get all 3 points.

Season ends next Sunday, yo.

I can’t tell if my internet is half dead or both pictures didn’t show up or both of those 2 things are happening. I think it might be the last thing

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Oh, internet is back to normal, nevermind

Nice of the Caps to have Betsy Ross at the game

Should not be considered SFW. It has Colbert, Stewart and Carell shirtless

Holy shit that’s a BIG image … my bad. Hope it doesn’t induce any seizures.

Refs: Fuck it, there are only 20 seconds left him the period. I’m not doing another faceoff

Oh good. Round 1 Brayden Holtby is back.

Wow, that was fucking awful.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Weak goal, not awful but he wants that one back

WCS

Just an awful turnover by Dumolin.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Did I annoy everyone else into leaving? Damn I am good

Oshie with the goal, Ovi really caused it. What weird hallucination is this where he is showing up in the playoffs?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Not a fan of the latest google update that removed the functionality of my Hoverover plugin there that used to automatically load the image when I put my mouse over a link or thumbnail. Well, redhead in a bikini going down a slip and slide for your intermission anyways

The would have never called that against the Hawks, they cheat so much on changes they just don’t call it now

That first stick attack was worthy of a penalty. He should have gone off on his own before the 17 penalties they committed after

Is this where I come to celebrate Caps fan schadenfreude?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I’m not sure the Caps have any fans. Pretty sure you are just making them up. Are you talking about people rooting against the Pens?

Gratliff

Well no. That would include me, and then it wouldn’t be schadenfreude.

I can’t tell if it shitty ice because the arena is too hot, or warm pucks, either way the puck is bouncing around weirdly so far

WCS

Same thing happened in Game 2. It’s Verizon Center. Even Caps players were complaining about it.

Senor Weaselo

So, is this game ending 2-1 or 7-6?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am rooting for the latter

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I still hate both these teams, but it has been exciting so far

WCS

Heck of a time to get the first PP goal of the series, fellas.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Letang was the aggressor there. Bullshit. Just because he got knocked out they call it the other way.

Covalent Blonde

Oh wait, I must have been unclear on this… so it’s a penalty when a forward attempts to decapitate another player with their shoulder?

Covalent Blonde

Ovi! Ovi! Ovi!

WCS

Welp…

Covalent Blonde

How do six consecutive players on two separate teams mishandle the shit out of a puck?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I can’t tell for sure, but the ice seems to be shitty

rockingdog

just learned that RonRon the pet fox died. sad.

Covalent Blonde

Welp. Thanks for making me drink tonight.

WCS

Aww..

Covalent Blonde

Incidentally, I had no idea his name was RonRon. Had I known that all along I may not have given a fuck if he died.

WCS

[Jon Elway looks around nervously]

Covalent Blonde

Oh god. Make it happen sooner.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Why do you want to kill me? Also I gave in and am gonna watch the Ice Stillers vs Ice

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I used carrots around “redacteds” as the name of the WSH team. HTML ate it up

laserguru

Goddammit Exaggerator.
I didn’t bet on you to come in second. Make your break sooner and you had this.

Asshole horses man!

Covalent Blonde

Gustav Nyquist should get to win something since it sure won’t be the Stanley Cup this year.

Spanky Datass

That Elvgren pin-up made into a gif that Moose posted earlier was great. Here’s one in 3-D!

Covalent Blonde

That’s really quite neat.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I really just want to watch some playoff hockey this evening, but I can’t force myself to watch PIT/WSH. I used to love Pit growing up, one of my friends fav teams and they were actually televised occasionally and had Lemieux and Jagr… sidenote, fuck, how is Jagr still playing? I can’t stand them any more. I root for them in the back of my mind over Wash only for WCS’s sake, otherwise no

laserguru

Alright, I’m officially done with pre-op poking and prodding.
The phlebotomist hit the exact vein that they used the other day.

Now I’ve got more track marks than a Baltimore school teacher.

I am parked, changed into the comfy wear and I’m cracking a beer. I won’t be driving that car for at least a week.

Not exactly vacation but I’ll do my best.

CHEERS!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Medicate yoself, fool!!!!

My phlebotomist gave me MRSA. Here’s to yours being more competent than mine.

How was your time as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer otherwise?

ALXMAC

Oh man it’s everywhere. Kinda like the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Staph infections are more common than just in NFL or NHL locker rooms – apparently it can even be transmitted by just a handshake.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I hate to ask this late after following you through the hoops and insurance fuck you’s you have dealt with. But I honestly don’t know. What are you having surgery on? It is your knee, right? And if so what is wrong exactly?

laserguru

Yep. The left one. Torn medial and lateral meniscus. Pretty nasty one this time.

This will be knee surgery #5. 3 on right this will be the second on the left.

I just noticed that Moose tends to post GIFs and images that bear no apparent relationship to the comment he’s replying to. You guys ever notice that?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sometimes, the message is subtle.
But yeah, sometimes I think he’s just being random…which is not meant as a criticism. Entropy is always fun.

ALXMAC

Well stated. Moose wouldn’t be Moose if he wasn’t Moose. Cheers, Moose!!

Sooo… since when did BYU rugby turn into the All Blacks?

Horatio Cornblower

Apparently the Mormons do a lot of business in the South Pacific, so you get those enormous Fijians and Samoans.

laserguru

All of the Pac-12 and BYU are landing destinations for the South Pacific players. Recently Utah and BYU have been getting more and more of them.
Salt Lake City has a large Samoan populace.
