You should have been watching teenagers play hockey like a normal person...
I’m not anywhere close enough to a big enough hockey person to watch that. I have a tough enough time watching teenagers play basketball when I have to officiate.

It might be the worst game I’ve ever watched that wasn’t played in poor weather. The game was in Phoenix in a stadium with a retractable roof.

This game between Cal and TCU has been the dumbest game I’ve ever watched. 10-7 TCU wins in OT. There were 9 picks in the game, 5 by a pair of Cal QBs. TCU missed a FG to win in regulation then had to start their possession in OT at the 40 after a sideline penalty on a pick on Cal’s possession. TCU’...

First Responder Bowl which might actually have been interesting between BC and Boist st canceled due to thunderstorms. Must be really bad, can’t imagine them totally leaving the teams and fans who had traveled hanging if there was any way to get it in. Classy move by BC to refund all BC fans as wel...

Stevens out of Citrus Bowl with an unspecified surgery. Clifford will be the backup.

May try to sneak over to practice on Friday. Don’t know if it’s open but I’m pretty sure I know where they’re practicing.

Steelers vs Aints

I think it was a bad decision at the time because Ben was picking their secondary apart.
And that’s what my dad said as well. I was too distracted with my Bears trying not to yak away a chance at the 2 seed on the adjacent TV to notice what the Steelers were doing before the Ridley fumble.

Steelers vs Aints

Playing against drew brees is kind of like playing against navy’s offense. For those of us who follow football teams that have the balls to play service academies (i.e. pitt, not unpatriotic programs like WVU and UPS), when they have a good offense, basically the only way to force a punt is to a. D...

I had a few drinks last night so someone help me out - on the Vance McDonald 'illegal contact' call, couldn't it have been something different for more yardage? Only other thing that would have netted more yardage would have been PI, which then puts them in Boswell range. They ruled the contact was...

Big picture - don’t lose to the Raiders and don’t cough up the ball vs Broncos and Browns (game 1). If not for Santonio Holmes’s twinkle toes, Tomlin is just a slightly better version of Marvin Lewis. Put Tomlin on an average team and he’s fired within 3 years. He’s had all this talent for all of th...

The Steelers only have themselves to blame, but it's actually just flat out bad for people that love the NFL playoffs. The Titans/Ravens being in instead of us does not make for good television. Disagree. If it was about ‘good’ television, they’d make it WWE style. This is why sports is the best re...

My team had a player who dunked in his own basket today. If you haven't seen it, just search it on the tweeter. :face: Meanwhile, I made a stop at the Mecca of Philly basketball, the Palestra, today.

I kept saying during that last PP, ‘you don’t have to score’. I guess puck possession didn’t mean much to them. Sid could have run out the clock behind the net and Wild would have never had that threat in the final seconds.

Another solid gritty win. Be great to cap it off in Carolina on Saturday.
