sports

[rustic mountain]

They would be idiots with bad sports opinions that no one heard if the internet didn't exist

[celest zephyr]

this seaosn i wouldn't say he is

[rustic mountain]

We movin on up boiz

[celest zephyr]

wouldn't even say he's clearly better than stafford

[slate lance]

^^^

LIKE LETS BE REAL FR

[rustic mountain]

Who Hurts?

[celest zephyr]

yeah

[rustic mountain]

This year definitely hasn't played like it

I think he is on par rn with a Matthew Stafford

[celest zephyr]

yeah agreed

maybe dude is just the next stafford lol

[rustic mountain]

There's nothing rn that scares me about Jalen

[dim ledge]

And also, the top tier QBs have struggled

This is what pisses me off man

[slate lance]

stafford post season run was better tho

[dim ledge]

EVERY QB HAS STRUGGLED

[celest zephyr]

yeah their o line scares me

agreed there

[rustic mountain]

If my sorry ass team when it was fully healthy almost beat them, then shits weird

[dim ledge]

but Purdy has one bad game and out come the "Mhm see what happens we were right all along fraud haha"

[celest zephyr]

said the eagles give me massive 2021 steelers vibes

beat bad teams in unconvincing fashion to get a good record

[rustic mountain]

Man you gotta delete the bird app

Or rather the letter app

Those dudes on there don't know shit

I also dont know shit

But I admit that

[celest zephyr]

the worse part is those mfers act like they know shit

[dim ledge]

Honestly Sab

I wouldn't even encounter or care about it

But when I'm trying to look at fucking updates for CMCs injury

[celest zephyr]

man i just google it and move on lol

[dim ledge]

And 90% of the tweets are "HAHA PURDY WITHOUT CMC"

just stop lol

[celest zephyr]

like i don't even bother actually looking at the comments

[rustic mountain]

People like hating winners

[dim ledge]

Sports fandoms are a blight on humanity

All fandoms are really

[rustic mountain]

Vinny hates my team who has sucked since even before Brady left town in 2019

[dim ledge]

And as someone who probably watches more footy than anyone here/longer than anyone here has

[celest zephyr]

can't tell the difference between some sports fandoms and cults

[dim ledge]

The footy fans started this

[rustic mountain]

And the dude aint even in my conference

[dim ledge]

I am so sorry

[rustic mountain]

Vinny if you're seeing this, bruh

[celest zephyr]

bruh keefe isn't concerned about playing from behind so much

idk maybe you tell your team to play 60 minutes of hockey

wow you get bailed out by high end talent! Good luck when they don't have a good game

[weak gull]

What was I supposed to be seeing exactly?

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-nothing-south-park-s18e10-happy-holograms-stan-marsh-gif-19430534

[weak gull]

Pats are like 8-10 on my disliked list… I’ve actually rooted for them in the majority of their bowls too

Loved Brady, rooted for him in Tampa too. But now…time to suffer. Need at least 2 more years to hit my quota

[dim ledge]

I have to imagine Packers are high on that list

[weak gull]

#2

Cowboys #1

I never let that playoff shafting go

[rustic mountain]

Even if we get Caleb, I see a good deal longer of suffering

Shit is bad rn

[weak gull]

If they got Caleb it really depends. The trajectory changes drastically and they’ll have cap. Depends on how it gets utilized though

Also depends on….well you know who

[rustic mountain]

It depnds on if you know who is even gonna be coaching us

[weak gull]

Pretty much

[rustic mountain]

I genuinely believe dude is donezo as GM

Shit can't happen again

[weak gull]

I would think so. His input is definitely useful on the defensive side still in my eyes, but that’s it

And that’s cause it’s still HIS defense

[rustic mountain]

So even if we get the #1 pick

I think we more than hit your quota

Don't worry on that

[dim ledge]

Niners must be pretty low for all the times we beat Packers and Cowboys in the offs

[weak gull]

Nope

[dim ledge]

Gotta make those V-bucks (Vinny bucks) somehow

[weak gull]

It’s odd, I usually say I’m neutral to the niners, but honestly they are pretty high on my liked list now that I think about it

Def top 10

I just never liked Jimmy G for some odd reason. But I love Brock and Shanny

[dim ledge]

I don't think it's that odd TBF, they're very likeable for most

At least the Brock part

I cannot think of a soul who hates the Lions. Bar Lions fans after years of suffering

[fleet orbit]

I like the niners

Especially as they beat Rodgers

Rodgers is a jerk

[weak gull]

Nah, I meant like it’s odd I say I’m neutral to them. When in all reality I do like them, quite a bit actually

Def need to change when I say that looking at my list

[dim ledge]

ah that makes sense

[fleet orbit]

I think my Mount Rushmore of least favorites are packers Vikings cowboys and patriots

[dim ledge]

I'd deadass put Eagles 4 times if I could

[weak gull]

Cowboys packers saints eagles

[dim ledge]

but since i cant

[fleet orbit]

The bears lose to the saints a lot tho

[weak gull]

Can’t stand the saints

[dim ledge]

Eagles, Cowboys, Seahawks, uhh

I guess probably the pack lol

[fleet orbit]

I don’t like Seattle either

Or the chiefs

[dim ledge]

yeah

chiefs are on there (sorry drip)

[fleet orbit]

The chiefs are becoming the patriots

[dim ledge]

Between the chop celebration, Mahomes' family, and whatever the hell this mess with Taylor Swift is

They are very unlikeable

[fleet orbit]

Jackson and Brittany are so god damn annoying

Jackson also sexually assaulted someone

[dim ledge]

??? LAMAR?

im sorry i am legit clueless

[fleet orbit]

What about Lamar ?

Oh lol no not him, Pat Mahomes brother

[dim ledge]

ah okay I have no idea of the names of his family

gross

[fleet orbit]

They’re fucking annoying

I would’ve hated the jets until Rodgers got hurt

Now I’m neutral toward them

[dim ledge]

I just feel bad for the Jets

living in the area I do its a pretty even mix of jets and giants fans with a smittering of eagles fans

and in the nicest way possible, idk how it happens, unequivocially

the dumbest ones are always jets and eagles fans

i have only met one smart eagles fan and one smart jets fan

[fleet orbit]

My former roomate is smart enough to not be optimistic . He’s a giants fan

[dim ledge]

most giants fans i met are average. just hopped up on hopium

i have to think of my top 5 most liked/least hated teams outside of the niners, though...

[fleet orbit]

Honestly I hate the packers more , but Vikings fans are more annoying

[dim ledge]

probably something like
Detroit
Baltimore
Houston
Jacksonville
Whoever is playing the Eagles

on a more serious note probably Atlanta

I really like that city and the people there

[fleet orbit]

Mine besides the bears are Jacksonville , the niners , honestly Detroit lions and bengals

I like the bengals

[dim ledge]

Bengals are fine yeah

[fleet orbit]

Someone said the bengals should’ve drafted Tua and it shows you some people really do live in the moment too much

I can’t take such a tweet seriously , Tua lit up 4 garbage teams

I would only take Mahomes over a healthy burrow

[dim ledge]

Lamar?

[fleet orbit]

Nah , he misses too many games

Lamar is top 10 tho

[rustic mountain]

cough cough and passes

cough cough and hasn't won anything meaningful

[fleet orbit]

Who hasn’t won anything meaningful?

[rustic mountain]

Lamar

[fleet orbit]

Oh Lamar , yeah true , he hasn’t had a good OC or set of recievers most of the time . The ravens haven’t been built to play from behind

[rustic mountain]

Dude hasn't really done much for me to take over Burrow

I agree with you, only really Mahomes would I take over Burrow rn

[dim ledge]

i think thats fair

[fleet orbit]

I think the bengals still end up making the playoffs

[dim ledge]

yeah they should

[fleet orbit]

Bengals and jaguars to me are dangerous

If Lawrence is healthy long term , the jags could be dangerous

[dim ledge]

hes starting to find his swagger

thats for sure

[weak gull]

Man has crohns imo

Love Lamar and have loved the ravens since the day Flacco was picked

But damn do I get tired of them never having a real number 1 wideout

[fleet orbit]

They don’t strike me as a serious contender this year

[weak gull]

Top 5 most liked for me after my lions of course

Ravens
Jets
Cardinals
Chargers
Vikings

[fleet orbit]

I see them as a one and done in the playoffs

[weak gull]

It really depends on how much Lamar will carry. I think they could go anywhere from first round exit to bowl as of right now

They are yet to mesh as an offense still sadly and it’s getting to the point where with a new OC I’d like to see some semblance of success

So I’m losing a bit of hope can’t lie

[fleet orbit]

The ravens have been really lackluster lately for sure

And they are no lock to win the afc north that division is gonna be competitive all year

If I had to root for an afc team to reach the Super Bowl, I hope it’s the jaguars . They’re starting to put it together

[weak gull]

I’ll always root for the ravens. But the lack of wideout shit is killing me. Zay looks good but is probably a 2 due to size really.

Jags are cool though too

[fleet orbit]

I think the most fun division race to follow rn is the afc north

If I had to pick a worst team , I think it’s the Steelers , that offense is ass

[weak gull]

It’s def the Steelers. They play up to the competition and tomlin is good at keeping them in most games

He’s just not the greatest in some other areas imo

[hasty mesa]

Ravens need to finish in end zone

If they solve that problem on offense they are that Wild Card team

[weak gull]

If they solve that they’re more than a wildcard. But redzone offense is probably the toughest aspect of the game damn near

They are a wildcard team as is even without that most likely

[hasty mesa]

Yeah but if they can’t score in red zone they’re getting ousted in the WC round

WC round is where teams that skirted by their major flaws go to die

[weak gull]

Depends on the matchup

[hasty mesa]

See: Vikings

[weak gull]

I can’t just say they’d lose the wildcard even with that major flaw

All teams have a flaw or major flaws

[hasty mesa]

Fair

Would it be fun to see Stroud knock out the Ravens in WC? Yes

But let’s see

[weak gull]

Baltimore is also 9th in redzone offense

[hasty mesa]

Oh wow

Maybe I’m not giving them enough credit

[weak gull]

It’s just lackluster compared to top end of afc

[hasty mesa]

Yeah

They’re fine for now if they keep winning games

[weak gull]

I still think yall are overrating the Texans potential

[hasty mesa]

Just get better throughout the season

[weak gull]

The ravens isn’t a good matchup for the Texans either imo

[hasty mesa]

They need a statement win for sure

[weak gull]

And although it was week 1, that offense struggled in all facets vs the ravens defense

[hasty mesa]

Like beating the Bengals mayhaps

[weak gull]

It’s a very bad matchup for them on paper

[fleet orbit]

The Texans I think finish around .500 which for this franchise is very good

[celest zephyr]

Let’s go Vinny let’s see who’s 6-1 after this week

@weak gull

[sweet tree]

bears only win is against us

that game made me sick

[fleet orbit]

That Washington game was bixarre

Bizarre

Washington is one of the prime examples of a team who I can’t get a real read on

[torn gale]

Idk what defense to start. Browns or hills. Probably will do the browns since idk what the bills defense plans on doing from week to week

[fleet orbit]

You can’t go wrong either way

If I was in your position, I’m choosing Buffalo. Cleveland is a great defense but unlike the patriots the colts can manufacture a run game

My only defense is the eagles , could be trouble

Well I got 2 but the bengals are on bye

[torn gale]

Hmmm that’s true

[fleet orbit]

I’m happy about it because I’m defense first but the nfl this season has been carried by defense

Teams like the browns Steelers and jets have poop offenses and those defenses are keeping them in contention

Did y’all see what tb12 said about the flags ?

[dim ledge]

What the heeeeeeell lmao

@robust grotto bro lmfao

As investors

[robust grotto]

Very cool

Hey if you’re rich, you have to invest

Well not have to but SHOULD.. F1 has really exploded the last few years

[short flame]

They invested in what?

[robust grotto]

Invested in the Alpine F1 team

[short flame]

Why is the Juan mata tag over the wrong person. It triggers me

[short flame]

Race cars?

[robust grotto]

F1 racing

[short flame]

Nice that’s a cool team

[celest zephyr]

F1 big now

[celest zephyr]

Eagles have a good defense that’s not bad

Oh wait they are on bye lol

Yeah idk

[fleet orbit]

The Eagles play the dolphins on SNF

i think the dolphins defense is not that good

[dim ledge]

It isn't

Very front heavy team

[celest zephyr]

Oh eagles do then just play eagles lol

Don’t see an issue with that

Dolphins offense isn’t that loaded

[solid dagger]

12 months ban for Fagioli, it's official

Well one nice thing about being a Juve fan is that you're never bored

[short flame]

So much betting is so negative on the sport. I feel like there’s going to be more and more cases. So much corruption brought into the game by it, players betting on their teams. Now you can’t tune into a game without a betting app being advertised

The Bolivian league was suspended because there were too many cases

[celest zephyr]

I agree

[solid dagger]

Oh yeah and tonight Corona (the guy who outed Fagioli, Tonali and Zaniolo) is gonna name more people

[celest zephyr]

And tbh its also like so many kids or people who can’t legally bet watch sports games

[solid dagger]

It's only gonna get worse

[celest zephyr]

Showing a 10 year old betting ads for 8 years of their life is awful

[solid dagger]

Also yeah gambling sites as sponsors should go

[fleet orbit]

i think betting takes the fun out of sports for me

i have never bet on march madness, and im a huge fan

[torn gale]

If Kirk cousins played even average against a bottom 2 defense in the league I’d have won coming back down 84 points

I hate the Vikings

[fluid moat]

It’s so funny losing 2 midfielders to suspensions in the span of a month

[torn gale]

[fluid moat]

He was also using illegal sites to do the betting

[celest zephyr]

That’s depressing

There’s a million legal sites already

[robust grotto]

No sympathy from me

[short flame]

And players with addictions having to wear shirts with those sponsors on it. Advertising their addiction for everyone to see. But it’s all about the money

[plucky kiln]

you were right , they lost to Netherlands today

[sweet tree]

that's rough honestly

1 for betting and the other for doping

damn

[solid dagger]

I just turned on my tv and we're winning 1-0 already how lmao

A win would be HUGE

It's still too early tho

[hasty mesa]

https://vxtwitter.com/mysportsupdate/status/1714355684265926674?s=46

Well then

Didn’t have this on the bingo card

[solid dagger]

What's that in nba terms

[hasty mesa]

Idk enough NBA players

Basically a former super pro player just signed to a super team

[slate lance]

Drose to the grizzlies

Actually

Last year Blake griffin to the Celtics or CP3 to the warriors

[solid dagger]

So basically a former star now at the end of his career going to a contender

[slate lance]

Yea

[solid dagger]

Thank you

[rustic mountain]

I mean it aint too surprising

[celest zephyr]

Yeah it ain’t

Dude trying to chase a ring

[rustic mountain]

Woulda been right there with him signing with KC or SF

If only he wasn't on the wrong side of a certain comeback in SB51

https://tenor.com/view/notsure500-gif-22059086

[hasty mesa]

So this means the Eagles lose to Chiefs again in a huge comeback win?

[short flame]

Just saw Bellingham and an Italy player on the ground. Does anyone know what happened?

[solid dagger]

We can't concede a goal like that come on

[solid dagger]

Bellingham smacked Scalvini and they both fell to the ground

[short flame]

Are they ok?

[solid dagger]

Yeah they're both alright

[thorn hornet]

SAN MARINO HAVE SCORED

[solid dagger]

WHAT

NO FUCKING WAY

[thorn hornet]

https://fxtwitter.com/centregoals/status/1714373353899786554?s=19

[solid dagger]

Against Denmark too lmfaoooooo

No way they even equalized

That's unironically historic for San Marino football

[thorn hornet]

We would lose to San Marino rn

Nvm Denmark scored

2-1

[solid dagger]

My dream is to see San Marino at the Euros

[torn gale]

How the mighty have fallen

Why the eagles

I hate the eagles so much

[hasty mesa]

From dirty birds to dirtier birds

Man thinks he’s getting a ring

[torn gale]

😔

[hasty mesa]

[torn gale]

Julio when Jalen throws 3 more ints to the opposing defense

[thorn hornet]

As it stands we could get Italy in the play offs

[sweet tree]

[torn gale]

Hurts has thrown more ints and less touchdowns than Justin fields btw

[thorn hornet]

Thats a 2nd red for Phillips

[torn gale]

Hurts already has more ints this year than he had all of last year

And the eagles are 5–1 still

[solid dagger]

Yeah it's game over

Another defensive error

Now we have to win against Ukraine in Ukraine

[torn gale]

That’s gonna be you in the ecf finals when Mikal bridges cooks dame

[solid dagger]

Imagine we don't even make the Euros as the defending champions 🏴‍☠️

[sweet tree]

just italy things innit

[solid dagger]

That's bold of you to think the nets will make the playoffs

[torn gale]

Oh we will make it

[thorn hornet]

@solid dagger there is always next Euros for us, brother

[torn gale]

We just will get swept by Philly or boston

[solid dagger]

Play in tournament exit

[fluid moat]

Fuck man

[torn gale]

But I pray Milwaukee loses

[fluid moat]

Game over

[solid dagger]

I want to see us play a fucking world cup man the last time it happened I was 12

[torn gale]

Johtos team lost? Hurray!

[solid dagger]

I'm 22 and if we qualify for the next one I'll be 24

[solid dagger]

It's not just my team, it's my national team

Also we would smoke you Americans so be quiet please

Last time Bosnia played at any major tournament I was 9

[fluid moat]

Italy just need to win every game after this

[torn gale]

You’re not ready for america come 2026

[solid dagger]

Was it the 2014 world cup

[thorn hornet]

Yea

[fluid moat]

Ukraine still have to play England again

[solid dagger]

We got something in common

At least we won the Euros since then

[fluid moat]

Italy have a game in hand

[thorn hornet]

I guess we're both the same

[solid dagger]

A win against Ukraine is enough I think

[fluid moat]

Actually wait this is the 7th game isn’t it

[thorn hornet]

We won a Kirin Cup, who's surperior?

[short flame]

Good to hear

[solid dagger]

We would go even with them but we would've won both games against them

We play Ukraine and North Macedonia next

They only play us next, they have a game in hand

[fluid moat]

I don’t understand the starting lineup for this game

[solid dagger]

We didn't even play that bad in the first half

But we collapsed in the second half for some reason

[fluid moat]

This front 3 is missing a certain someone

[solid dagger]

We've been missing a proper striker since 2012

Also Chiesa yeah

[fluid moat]

I know they’re waiting for the Milan kid who scored like 3 trillion goals in the youth league to grow up but somebody is needed right now

[fluid moat]

Bellingham is deserved of that English tax hype

[solid dagger]

Yeah he's really special

He killed us tonight

Scalvini had a shocker of a second half

[fluid moat]

Not great having to rely on a 19 year old kid in defense every single game. This team is sorely missing players like Chiellini and Bonucci

[dim ledge]

@proud coyote @celest zephyr

[hasty basin]

Omfg San Marino man

[sweet tree]

damn they haven't won a game since 2004

[celest zephyr]

Just rest him lol

I’d rather him be out for a week or two then get hurt again

[dim ledge]

regardless of if he plays or not

if this is true

means its not a bad injury

which is a huge relief

[weak gull]

BEARS FOOTBALL

[dim ledge]

LMAO

holy shit dude

[rustic mountain]

This looks eerily like that safety that happend lv vs ne

[celest zephyr]

Yeah that’s a relief

Looks like he’ll be fine

[rustic mountain]

Both Gisecki and Lowe just kinda lunged at Maxx Crosby

[weak gull]

This is worse imo. That’s not just the hate talking

But this is just putrid o line play

NE is ass and that was shit, but I can’t believe this lol

[rustic mountain]

Oh I agree

This is uh

This so bad

Like Jesus

[dim ledge]

CMC news now being confirmed by multiple sources

Phew

[proud coyote]

great to hear, he'll probably play then

[dim ledge]

Maioco is p reliable from what I've seen so yeah

I listen to his podcast near weekly

V good news, we got lucky that mostly everyone is DTD

@dim ledge Diaz missed a pen

[rustic ore]

Didn’t think you’d pay attention to us soccer

Reyna Pulisic and balogun scored

Just saw it on ESPN

[smoky fable]

Ah

[smoky fable]

A lot of bad teams this year

[haughty moss]

we're #31

[dim ledge]

Maaaaaaan

People are really milking the fuck out of our loss

15 game win streak in the regular season but one loss to a #1 defense puts the Dolphins with a paper defense above us

[rustic ore]

Yeah I'd still have SF for #1 for me

[proud coyote]

in the rain

we'll be back to #1 after monday

[restive vector]

lets go stars

quite the matchup

[celest zephyr]

eagles one bad loss and number 4 smh

i'd still have eagles 2

not like dolphins haven't lost a game

[dim ledge]

eagles have been nowhere near as good as they should be

thats the difference

Hurts has looked, at best, shaky

[robust grotto]

Bruh

[dim ledge]

and that o line is starting to falter

[celest zephyr]

ig but idk still number 2 for now for me

[robust grotto]

https://vxtwitter.com/sportsnet/status/1714442590467006648?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ

[celest zephyr]

though if they lose again for sure chiefs, lions dolphins pass them

heck maybe even the bills

[dim ledge]

nah i wouldnt put eagles at 2. maybe 5

[celest zephyr]

ror you could be on a good team but noooooo you had to go to the predators

[short flame]

Diaz

[celest zephyr]

eh maybe its a rep thing for me but ain't going to overreact just yet

rest is decent ngl though how the seahawks got 6th beats the hell out of me

lions jaguars and ravens were always better than them

cowboys fell off cuz they had some bad losses

and were very very close to being 3-3

[robust grotto]

Poor ror

[dim ledge]

SF
KC
DET
MIA
BUF

would be mine

I guess PHI at 6

maybe swap out for BUF

[smoky fable]

I think KC looks shaky

[dim kettle]

No one gonna point out the Preds defense basically let McDavid get the puck there?

One Pred literally skated passed it.

Hey @dim kettle

[dim kettle]

Congrats. Took McDavid 3 games to get a point at even strength

[rustic mountain]

[dim kettle]

I actually couldn’t believe that stat till I saw it

[celest zephyr]

congratulations you are one period away from having as many wins as the blue jackets

are the oilers going to hang that as a banner?

[dim kettle]

Are you kidding me, Sabres?!

7 secs

You just had to stop the Bolts with 7 secs left

[celest zephyr]

lightning going to sink to the bottom of the marianas trench

wow you guys scored

how impressive

[dim kettle]

Well, the Sabres just handed the Bolts a free point

[celest zephyr]

you guys will make the playoffs anyways

[rustic mountain]

Maybe

[dim kettle]

I have no clue if the Bolts make the playoffs. Not with the defense rn

[celest zephyr]

i wonder when the leafs are going to hang their we won a round banner

eh vasi will carry them into the playoffs anyways

unless the sens and red wings are legit

[dim kettle]

What if I told you goalie isn’t the biggest problem rn

[celest zephyr]

its okay vasi can do his best juuse saros impression

[short flame]

What a bunch of losers. Good job shadow I’m going to go cry

[short flame]

Of course

We have no game

[celest zephyr]

holy shit the predators are ass

hahahahahhaha

[dim kettle]

People are impressed with the McDavid goal earlier without mentioning one Pred just walked passed the puck and let McDavid get in a break away.

Okay, 1-0 win is such an Isles way to win a game.

[celest zephyr]

free saros and send him to toronto

[short flame]

Ok we won

[celest zephyr]

oh wait we don't play any system defense either

[short flame]

But man this team is bad

[celest zephyr]

at least we have max domi?

[short flame]

https://tenor.com/view/buffalo-sabres-dylan-cozens-sabres-sabres-goal-lets-go-sabres-gif-27437782

[celest zephyr]

please god trade klingberg to russia

and ship domi there also

with that fire the idiot who thought mccabe is a top 4 d man in the nhl

[dim kettle]

Bolts didn’t even try in that OT. But that’s a great goal though

[short flame]

Sure but it doesn’t justify the previous collapse

[dim kettle]

You got the 2 points so it passes

[celest zephyr]

lol you'll be fine the atlantic is wild this year

idk even know who makes it beyond the bruins and leafs

[short flame]

But we gave away a point. I mean you’re going to be qualifying anyways but I don’t like giving away a point at home to direct rivals

[dim kettle]

Sure, the Bolts can always rebound and be decent. But then I ask, do I really want to see the Bolts be a WC team that may not end in another first round exit? eh…

[short flame]

We have not played well so far, we need a lot to even think about the playoffs

[celest zephyr]

idk if the bolts suck i think they should just take it as a downyear and recoup some assets

[dim kettle]

Not like the Bolts are at their worst. The one time they did miss the playoffs, it was by one point.

[celest zephyr]

barely making it is a waste of time for a vet team

[short flame]

Once the playoffs starts everything goes back to 0. But you’re not the type of team to collapse under pressure so if we’re in a race with you for the playoffs I’m betting on you

[celest zephyr]

it sucks but man such a long ass way to go

i know the leafs will somehow shithouse their way to 100 plus points and make it in

[dim kettle]

The defense is not elite rn. That’s gonna hold them back until they get the cap again to actually address it

[short flame]

I’ll look for the positive. Jeff showed up finally. We need Tage and tuch to do so as well

[sweet tree]

brazil not looking good

[celest zephyr]

the classic gymnatics of a cap strapped team

[short flame]

I know. And these two new veterans are average at best. Dahlin samuelson and power are good but the rest are a joke

[celest zephyr]

i know the leafs game; they'll wait until the deadline to trade a bunch of picks for defensemen and scoring depth

and then lose most of them in the next offseason

[dim kettle]

I feel like the Bolts are gonna be like the LA Kings after their 2014 run. Where they’re gonna suffer from the cup tax and be middle of the field playoff team before it’s time for a retool

But hey, I saw the Bolts be a winner for the last decade. I can take that. At least the Bolts know what a rebuild is.

[short flame]

Can you teach us

[dim kettle]

No.

[short flame]

I didn’t know Tage was playing

[rustic mountain]

Jesus I love watchihg this man play hockey

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool-Aid_McKinstry

Why this dude named Kool-Aid McKinstry

And why is his real name Ga'Quincy

Ga'Quincy McKinstry sounds like a Key & Peele name

[smoky fable]

He’s going to be a high draft pick

[dim kettle]

Even Jet fans know this team will go nowhere.

[short flame]

Ga’quincy kool-aid mcKinstry. Looks like the kind of name oda gives to random sbs characters

[dense stag]

[dim ledge]

gracias darwin

[short flame]

Congratulations

[short flame]

He did great against Colombia too. Meanwhile Diaz ghosted

[dim ledge]

My brother! Thank you! And If we can do it, you better believe you guys can as well.

[smoky fable]

Oda saving it for later

[restive vector]

Stars game tied 2-2 with 3 mins left

Going to OT again

[smoky fable]

That assist by Núñez was more impressive than his goal

That was something

[dim ledge]

I wish he was consistent man

He oozes talent

[smoky fable]

He does

[restive vector]

Shootout

We lost

[dim ledge]

No shame in taking VGK to shootout young bucc

[dim ledge]

Just saw yeah, Jesus

Such a weird player man

One of the biggest talents of our time but can't avoid injury and spent his best years in a small pond never achieving euro glory

Truly I wonder how he's gonna be remembered

[smoky fable]

A part of that great MSN trio for Barca

[dim ledge]

Very true

Best front 3 of the last decade

But that was when he was quite young

By footy logic if he was that good at that age his next few should've been significant and he just pissed it away at Paris

Sad to see

[smoky fable]

Yeah

[silk notch]

Respect bbc

[dim ledge]

Nowhere near lol

Benzema isn't anywhere near Suarez

[hasty basin]

Darwizzy 🙏

[hasty basin]

So many balon dorless players just bc of Messi and Ronaldo

I'm half glad we're getting out of that era lol

[steel nexus]

Im the soothsayer

My next prediction is that Australia is losing to England

and they'll be out of the world cup

god willing

[hasty basin]

Lmao 60s and 70s keeper ratings are amazing

All of them are 7 or higher because of the amount of longshots

[thorn hornet]

As things stand, we host Finland on March 21st 2023

Pukki gonna tear us a new asshole

Israel play Iceland

4 years ago we would eat all of these teams alive

[torn gale]

5 rbs and 3 defenses may not be sustainable

[solid dagger]

Is your team crumbling apart?

[hasty basin]

Reverse here 💀

[torn gale]

No I’m top 3 and have been top 1 majority of the time

I need a third wr though

[solid dagger]

Sounds like it's crumbling apart

From 1st to 3rd

[torn gale]

I have ekeler bijan breece and white with achane on IR

[torn gale]

Still dropped

[torn gale]

If I win this week I’m back to number 1

I’m fine with 3 defenses to be honest

Feels ideal

I don’t need all these rbs though

[short flame]

Does he have authority on that?

@smoky fable yo you still want to do the trade or did you change your mind?

[robust grotto]

Geez…. Pitt wins at forward but Wings run away with D and G

[short flame]

Any team with the dominator

[celest zephyr]

red wings win

yzerman and howe ain't no slouches

[short flame]

Was this prime Howe or young Howe?

[celest zephyr]

and coffey and letang are good but man that's kinda weak for a team as historic as pittsburgh

[robust grotto]

Paul Coffey, I think, is like second all time in D scoring for all categories

[celest zephyr]

obv prime i guess

[robust grotto]

Nah that’s an insane team

[short flame]

So in his 50s

[celest zephyr]

its insane but so are the red wings hahahahah

[robust grotto]

But coffey bounced around, started in Edmonton. Coffey and Hasek are the two on the list that’s bounced around

[robust grotto]

Fr

Good debate actually

Strictly defense I mean.. Lidstrom / Chelios would eat nails for breakfast without any milk

Chelios bounced around too, to be fair

[dim ledge]

Jagr=Howe tbh

Otherwise yes

[robust grotto]

Yeah I would agree

[dim ledge]

And yeah Chelios goes to McDonalds and asks for a whopper

And gets it

[robust grotto]

No one is denying that man lmfao

[short flame]

I had a whopper on Sunday

Cue the song

[dim kettle]

Flyers and Caps: RI-Right this way, sir.

[celest zephyr]

Shanahan is a red wings transplant who’s goal is to make the leafs never be able to win a ring

I’m onto you

[robust grotto]

Knuckle sandwich for you, and for you, and for you

[robust grotto]

Oh no

[dim kettle]

I would’ve thought he was a Flames transplant after hiring Treliving. But look at this plot twist.

[robust grotto]

Richardson done - no surprise

[celest zephyr]

cleveland about to send those boys packing 20-3

i don't trust their offense to score more than that but the colts offense is fucking horrible with minshew

[celest zephyr]

😭 bro was so good

[dim ledge]

Sad man, yeah

[celest zephyr]

I’m excited for the opportunity to send irsay to the unemployment line

[rustic ore]

Worth repeating, didn't take long for the Colts to break another young QB

[hasty mesa]

Minshew time

[hasty mesa]

Not their fault as much as A Rich

After a bit easy to realize he’s taking too many hits and needs to protect himself

He has a good future if when he comes back he cleans that up

Sucks that the face of your franchise loses a year of experience though

Especially with Stroud in the division

[robust grotto]

Was thinking the same

[celest zephyr]

Yeah reminds me a ton of when lance was a niner

Could see the talent there but dude just got hurt and took way too many hits

Couldn’t protect himself when running

That’s why i like him being behind dak and learning from a good qb and in a team with a strong o line

Tbh feels like throwing away the ball is almost becoming a lost art

Like seems like a lot of QBs nowadays try to make the play instead of living for another day

[hasty mesa]

True

They try to scramble for yardage in this new league

Feels like knowing when to scramble and when to throw away is another layer that separates good QBs from elite QBs

IE, Mahomes when he plays at his highest level

I find it very funny that embiid declared for the US

[rustic ore]

Skechers are still a thing?

[celest zephyr]

Yes

And why is embiid going for them lol

Beyond dumb

It’s like Steph carrying under armour for zero reason

Dude could make bank working with another company

[weak gull]

Curry makes more with underarmour than he probably ever would have with Nike tho

He’s like lebron is to Nike for underarmour. 1 billion lifetime contract

He never would have got that with Nike, now I doubt Skechers can make that happen. But curry going to underarmour was an outstanding move from day 1 considering the shares he got on top of the contract

[silk notch]

Honesty its a more respectful move than him declaring for france

Atleast he lives in America

[hasty mesa]

Hardman is back with the Chiefs

Is he washed?

[celest zephyr]

Yeah that’s fair he’d just be another guy there

[weak gull]

Yeah. Embiid could be that for Skechers I suppose but idk how many people are seeking out a pair of Skechers 🤣

So kinda doubting it, but who knows. Hope it works out for Joel

[celest zephyr]

Yeah man I just would get them cuz they sell sizes for wider feet

Bit hard to get ones that fit nice with other brands

Cuz they usually just sell one size fits all

I still think New Balances are the ugliest mfing shoes

[robust grotto]

I have a few pairs (skate shoes) and tbh they’re reaaaally comfy

There’s a reason why a lot of nurses / doctors rock them. Orthopedic soles and all. Def recommend them, I never cared for NB until I tried a pair

[rustic mountain]

I know they are good for peeps

[weak gull]

Aren’t my style, they’ve made some better styles I like.. but I’m not paying 90 for new balances

I primarily wear boots most days anyways

[rustic mountain]

My job requires steel toe boots

My normal day to day are either my adidas running shoes or lacoste baylisses

[rustic mountain]

I remember when NB used to be the cheap dad shoe you saw at kmart

The shit you would only wear if you absolutely had no other choice

[robust grotto]

Facts and not for nothing but they’re making a killing off like young hipsters bc they’re going all in on the dad shoe thing

[weak gull]

They were never that bad in my eyes, just some designs are clunky imo

[rustic mountain]

I can't stand em. Idk why dude

[weak gull]

They are also popular in some places ngl

[robust grotto]

Dad shoes are ugly man, simple

[rustic mountain]

I've seen the new designs and I am still just. No thanks

[robust grotto]

I’m with you lol

[robust grotto]

True true

[weak gull]

If you ever go to Kentucky or Tennessee I swear new balances are just as common as Nikes

[rustic mountain]

Yeah but then you gotta be in Kentucky. Willingly.

[robust grotto]

I’m not a Nike guy but that’s funny to read. Nike just dominates man

[rustic mountain]

Nike's are generally too narrow for my foot

Irony is NB's would probably fit better but the Lacoste's and Adidas Ive got really do the trick

[proud coyote]

NBs are great

My feet are very wide and very big

[robust grotto]

^ yeah man really I’ve been super satisfied with my two pairs

[proud coyote]

Only normal brand that really works well

Otherwise I’m gettin like some bootleg shit

[robust grotto]

You know what they say about big feet dude

I stand by my Adidas

Sambas>>>>>

Sambas are great dude, class tbh

[robust grotto]

You with adidas is like my dad with puma lmfao

[dim ledge]

Euro classic

[rustic mountain]

Good ass shoe

But I admit anytime I see it

I think back to high school and if any dude had even a remote passing in soccer

He wore that shoe

[dim ledge]

Oh absolutely

Wearing sambas basically means you follow the sport in some capacity

Sam Smith's are for the casual

[rustic mountain]

I like my lite racer running shoes from Adidas

These guys

But I mostly wear these if not work boots

Now that Ive retired my vans life

[smoky fable]

I’ve never wore vans

i'm interested to see how the three of BUF, DET, OTT play out

[dim kettle]

Sens look fun to watch rn

[robust grotto]

Detroit is prob the worst

yeah i was just gonna say

[dim kettle]

Who knew a rebuild would make a hockey team fun!

[robust grotto]

most people would go buffalo, and i mean if Levi can find himself they probably are better on paper but i think the Sens have much more tenacity to them

[haughty moss]

nice to see josh norris back too

[dim kettle]

Yep he scored eariler

[robust grotto]

they could flip vladdy later if things dont mesh

dorion isnt as big of a meme as he can be portrayed

[dim kettle]

The defense I still think is sus in Buffalo. Levi can only do so much

[robust grotto]

that samuelsson contract is weird

[haughty moss]

Karlsson

[short flame]

It’s really bad

Dahlin power and Samuelson are good. The rest can all go

[short flame]

He’s a good physical presence. The only defender that actually défends in the team

[dim kettle]

Feel like Power needs to show he can be elite in the next few years. Especially after getting paid.

[robust grotto]

thats interesting, i'll have to watch more

[dim kettle]

Power was picked first overall. He needs to be better than good.

[short flame]

He’s growing but he’s not there yet. In 2-3 years he’ll be top tier

[short flame]

The problem with him is he’ll always be behind Dahlin and they play on the same side

[dim kettle]

Ryan Miller was really good in his prime.

[short flame]

The best since dom

[robust grotto]

you guys did pair power and dahlin in the third for our game, i remember

yeah thats weird, i didnt even notice but theyre paying dahlin, power, and sammy - and all 3 play left side

7 years 30 mil for a guy with 23 career points

im not saying hes a bad player but buffalo didnt have to give Samuelsson that deal

[dim kettle]

Sabres had to pick the best guy available with the 1st pick. But that just seems like mismanagement in depth

[robust grotto]

21 class is always gonna be an odd one bc covid

[dim kettle]

Gonna be honest, didn’t have much knowledge on Power myself

[short flame]

Yeah Donnie has tried it but it usually leads to silly mistakes at the back

[robust grotto]

he was due to play for a powerhouse michigan side, but before i don't even think he stayed in canada for juniors

canadian going all american path

going thru the list i don't think buffalo messed up with the pick either, it's just unfortunate that the BPA was a lefty D

[short flame]

I think he has a really good +/- and while not being a scorer he’s the most reliable guy in the back. Hockey isn’t my first sport, it’s footy and I like defensive oriented play so having a guy who focuses 100% on defending is a plus to me

They had to pick the best guy available. They had problems everywhere at the time

[robust grotto]

true, i'm not hating on the player or how important he is. i just think the team could've given him a smaller deal and everyone would've still been happy

[short flame]

I’d have given him the same deal as power both at 6-7 a year

[robust grotto]

you're not wrong, i just feel that if your 1 and only cornerstone is a left d ... going w beniers as a center could've easily been justified

[short flame]

James

Samuelson plays with Dahlin

[robust grotto]

you're lucky Dahlin is a freak

[short flame]

Johnson and Clifton… why did we go for them

[short flame]

Why?

[robust grotto]

he's really always been on the right side, that's not always that common

[short flame]

Why not common?

[robust grotto]

in hockey, especially on d, that left - right pairing works and alot of coaches / gms try to stick with it if they can

so dahlin, a lefty, playing on the right side for his whole career at an elite level

thats not common

[short flame]

Oh he’s like me

I’m a left footed right back

[robust grotto]

right exactly

actually no nvm lol my bad

[short flame]

Now you’re confusing me

[robust grotto]

in hockey its different bc of the curve of the stick

so when you're moving up the ice together, the player recieving the pass will then have to twist their body a little just to get it on the forehand

it's hard to explain, im ruining it

[rustic mountain]

Bruh I can barely ice skate, I can't imagine thinking about which hand goes where

[robust grotto]

it's crazy lol body position matters

[rustic mountain]

But I used to be a decent roller skater

[short flame]

I use the stick to keep me up so no matter the direction I’m done

[rustic mountain]

Until my ankles turned back into mush

[robust grotto]

for me, on defense I absolutely believe it's best to pair lefty and righty as much as you're able to

[short flame]

Oh the classic excuse

[rustic mountain]

Nah I was born with a muscle and tendon problem with my ankles

[short flame]

I could be Levi’s backup if it wasn’t for my bad knee

[rustic mountain]

They didnt develop quite correctly

[short flame]

Oh I’m sorry

[robust grotto]

by hand I mean your shot, my bad

[rustic mountain]

My dad used to be able to take my foot and turn it 180 degrees

Lol you're good man

[short flame]

It’s just a thing we used to say with my friends

We’d go to random football matches and tell people we could have been there if it wasn’t for some random injury

[rustic mountain]

Nah nothing to be sorry about. I just gotta wear ankle thingies sometimes at work because if I dont sometimes my ankle will give out and I'll nearly fall lol

Ahh I could never be a pro, college or any of that shit in anything. I had fun with baseball but man I am 5'7" on a good day

[robust grotto]

where on the field would you like to play

[short flame]

I’m 1m68 on my official documents and 1m60-2 in real life. I’m not making a team of anything

[rustic mountain]

If I did?? Infield. Short or third was fine, second woulda probably been ideal

[rustic mountain]

Being short aint bad. Except in athletics lol

[robust grotto]

Yeah dude I loved playing 2nd

[short flame]

Don’t you want to be centre field?

[rustic mountain]

I aint got the speed or arm for cente

[dim kettle]

Hey, MJD was able to be a stud. lol

[rustic mountain]

Centre

Nor really any outfield position

I was a utility infielder through and through but damn was I proud of my defense

[short flame]

I see, I honestly just named the only position I know

[robust grotto]

Outfield is fun but the throw under pressure was always the worst, hit the cut off man and pray for a play lol

Infield was the most fun for sure, I’m with you

[rustic mountain]

I wasnt Mac Jones noodle arm bad but yeah don't put me in the outfield lol

[dim kettle]

Sab’s throwing arm

[rustic mountain]

Nowadays hella

[robust grotto]

Lol when you’re a kid that shit was next level. You just want to be a hero so bad

[rustic mountain]

All the power is in the legs nowadays

[short flame]

I was good at tennis and volleyball but I’m too small and slow to play football or hockey

[rustic mountain]

If I knew how to kick, woulda been a field goal kicker
