Well, we are in the deep end of the offseason.

It’s going great!

The league has spent the last two weeks stroking itself over pulling off the Super Bowl, and quarterbacks are being shopped around the league like cordwood. We’ve already seen Goff, Stafford & Wentz effectively change teams – officially on March 17 – and there is still the matter of the Jets trying to trade Sam Darnold & the Cowboys figuring out what to do with DAK!

The MRI looks pretty good.

We still have two full months until the Draft. Thank God Canada has access to hockey & curling. I trust you enjoyed BC Dick’s curling piece earlier today. Myself, I grew up in the 1970s & had to listen to my dad’s stories about Al Hackner and being screwed out of some trophy in Thunder Bay.

For some reason, despite claiming to have been the uncrowned Northern Ontario champion, he never picked the cornbroom out here and proved the haters wrong. I’m shocked…SHOCKED! that my father may have stretched the truth about something just to look like a big man. EVERYTHING I KNOW HAS BEEN LIES!

Holy shit, the NHL game at Lake Tahoe is now in the 2nd period!? How does Bettman have a job?

And the Knights just scored!. Great timing.

I didn’t realize she’s a ginger.

Mr. Ayo

Although I assumed she was chewy.

Mr. Ayo

I don’t think she’s 100% natural anymore, though.

ballsofsteelandfury

I don’t see anything wrong with her. She’s absolutely stunning and she is in her 50s.

Wait, I was thinking of Beckinsale.

ballsofsteelandfury

Beckinsale had her boobs done?

Mr. Ayo

Her face. Think the boobs are OEM spec still.

Horatio Cornblower

Beckinsale has had a lot of work done. I would not have sex with her near any sort of heating device because a) she wouldn’t have anything to do with me, b) my wife would likely divorce me, and c) Kate would probably melt.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s her OLDER sister in that picture, btw…

The Prince of Peace brand name makes me a little leery. Keep your Jesus away from me, unless he’s going to do the weedeating.

It’s from the Far East, so I don’t think it’s Christian.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Actually, the Christian missionaries were pretty effective in Asia. Hell, 29% of the South Korean population is Christian.

She’s definitely chewy and I’m definitely an idiot.

I remember buying this as a 45 at the Post Exchange at Fort Meade MD when it hit. The B side was Chest Fever, which I later found out was originally a song by The Band.

Mr. Ayo

This is quite an uplifting impromptu request line.

I was just noting that no one else was here when I staggered in, but fuck it, let’s go with it.

There has never been a band whose first album I have loved so much followed by subsequent albums that I have hated so much…um…this sentence doesn’t work but you get the idea.

Horatio Cornblower

They had one good song and milked it for far more than it was worth.

Mr. Ayo

McDavid is is lighting these Flames on fire.

Canada hockey is roUcking tonight.

It is superb being an Ice Bombers fan in Ice Stampeders land when they lose. Sports radio is delicious.

Nope. Almost as bad as any ABBA sing.

I’m old, so I like the original version better.

Sir, my wife loves ABBA. Shall we say pistols at dawn, or whatever passes for dawn at this time of year in Calgary? My second shall call on you. In the mean time…

Fun film. Hugh Grant prior to choosing a Hollywood hooker over Elizabeth Hurley.

What a dumbass.

Liz Hurley at 54, in case you wondered just how fucking dumb Hugh Grant is.

bk109

Liz Hurley at 54 and a tonne of work done… Watch something like Passenger 57 or Sharpe’s Enemy and watch something newer (not that she’s done that much work… almost as if her talent was in finding hornier rich men than actually acting) and notice how basically everything has been “upgraded”

Horatio Cornblower

/Horatio is so drunk he doesn’t realize a new post is up
//finally figures it out, also corrects typos, all while explaining to his wife that he is watching Liga MX for related reasons, and does not immediately get served with divorce papers.

Fuck yeah, beer!

I support all Liga MX watching, no matter the state. Did you tell your wife its SecsiMexi?

I may have slurred something that resulted in her patting my head and saying “you’re my favoUrite idiot”

AFLW tripleheader is pretty good tonight!

My back is still majorly fucked. Send booze and a time machine.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought Biden was supposed to fix that! Wasn’t that his campaign slogan and everything?

Horatio Cornblower

I know it’s early, but watching the Biden administration back track and/or renege on pretty much everything they ran on besides not being Trump has me a tad concerned about 2022.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Huh?

Horatio Cornblower

The primary concern would be his statement that if he was elected the $2,000 checks would go out within a week, then it was dropped to $1,400, now no checks have gone out.

Brick Meathook

I knew I should have voted for Trump.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I completed a major chore today (washing the patio windows) so I have earned the right to drink myself into a coma this evening.

Mr. Ayo

I’m secretly hoping you do NOT tumble through and break said patio windows during your self-induced coma.

Sharkbait

I unpacked the house a bit more and vacuumed. I’ll be doing the same

Horatio Cornblower

I just went ahead and got drunk with a bunch of friends I hadn’t seen in a while.

TOR-MTL went full banana cakes in a very short time.

Imagine watching that game instead of the historic matchup of Columbus-Nashville

Mr. Ayo

This particular tilt is not available in my market.

Honestly, which markets would show this and why?

Mr. Ayo

The banana caking has intensified.

I want to reiterate: WVU erased a 19-point deficit to beat Texas, in Austin.

GIMMIE A HELL YEAH

Was there power in the Frank Erwin Center? I haven’t been there for a sporting event since I attended school there in the late 80s.
Last time I was there was to see Tom Petty on his final tour back in 2017.
Nice job by the Cousinfuckers.

rockingdog

thats ROCKING!

Dunstan

Speaking of Al Hackner, if you have even a slight interest in curling, I recommend checking out the episode of the Netflix show Losers about him and Pat Ryan. Some cool old Brier footage and a lot of discussion of how the sport changed during the 80s and 90s to go from out of shape guys smoking cigarettes and partying every night to a more serious and professional game.

Really, the whole Losers series is pretty good — it’s literally about athletes dealing with failure. They’re not all triumphant comeback tales, either.

I rarely ever drink soda pop of any kind but I’d really like a Fresca or a 7-Up right now. I can’t remember the last time I had or even saw one of those. Has to be in a cold bottle, poured into a glass. No cans or paper cups, please.

Brick Meathook

I just ran down to the Gelson’s and bought:

2 Mexican Cokes in glass bottles
2 7-Ups in glass bottles
2 Dad’s Root Beers in glass bottles
4 IBC Cream Sodas in glass bottles

Horatio Cornblower

Second that ‘The Losers’ series is well worth watching. Fuck yeah, Torquay United!

For Peter King’s sake I hope someone on the Avs or Knights gets traded before the game resumes tonight; he’ll have material for years with that little oddity.

I haven’t seen bad ice shut down a game like this since my last pickup basketball game with the Rothschilds

Viva La Tabula Raza

So, went to the grocery store for the first time since the Arctic Blast. Temps in the 40s this morning. The thing is done, ok? Unbelievably, it looked like when the pandemic hit last year or when Harvey came in. No dairy, no packaged meat, no cheese, no frozen breakfast stuff, no eggs (they announced over the PA that they were going to have some eggs and 50 or 60 people were lined up). People were loading their carts with bottled water. There was paper towels and asswipe, unlike last year. I’m thinking to myself, the crisis is over, what the fuck? At least there was plenty of rum and scotch at the package store.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

WHAT IF THE ARCTIC BLAST COMES BACK?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also, what the fuck is wrong with people that they weren’t already sufficiently stocked up due to the pandemic?

Horatio Cornblower

Forget it RTD, it’s Texas.

Sharkbait

You can add Vegas-Colorado to the NHL list for tonight. Game was pushed back, it’ll be resumed at 9PST, Midnight eastern

Gumbygirl

Speaking of bourble, is Fozz ok?

Horatio Cornblower

I have had that same thought myself.

ballsofsteelandfury

No US coverage for The Scotties?

Mr. Ayo

I’ve been googling the evil Bond girl. Extensively.

But the TV coverage is still missing.
