The Swamp

Someone on here is actually praising Biden for something? Holy shit. While I'm feeling charitable, Mayor Pete did a good thing today too! I think a potential side effect of the "delay" portion of this new policy (airlines have to compensate travelers for 3+ hour delays) is that airlines w...

It says on the bottom that there are 115 guests browsing this forum right now. I don't like it. Feels creepy. What the fuck do they want? It can't possibly be for the content! Can’t be “real” people so some kind of bots that don’t self-identify (like Google) probably. Though to what end I don’t kno...

I bet the over 10.5 on defensive players in the first round. Of course if it goes under that bodes well for the Lions getting a good CB or DL/edge with their pick.

I think that gives Sheffield United the record for most goals conceded in a 38-game season. On track to hit the century mark!

The OG Swamp rejoices

I was right about that USC-Texas game!

And they extend Sewell as well to most guaranteed money for a OT

Sun God rolling in gold now. 4 yrs $120M, $77M guaranteed — most ever for a WR.

For many MANY years, the entire marketing approach of the Bullets was to advertise when Magic and Kareem or Bird or MJ or Dominque or whoever the marquee stars were coming to DC. Clippers were the same. Sunday LA Times sports section in the mid-90's would have ads for a six- or eight-game ticket pa...

No idea how $28 million is a steal for Nike. Lets check back on this in 3 years. Just dont see the WNBA going places. Even before Clark attendance and ratings were way up. Las Vegas, for example, sold out every game this year and is moving several to T-Mobile (18,000 seats). Most games Indiana play...

I get it. Its not her fault, but I get the resentment. Same. If you’re someone like A’ja Wilson or Breanna Stewart (and I’m using them generally - tmk neither of them has said anything about Clark) and you’re arguably the greatest woman basketballer on the planet but making $500,000 a year WITH end...

I guess people can quit complaining about Caitlin Clark’s WNBA salary now.

(She just signed $28 million deal with Nike.)

Yes, the NHL monitors it super tight yet every year multiple contenders have players who get healthy right in time for game 1 of the playoffs. C’mon. It’s smart to use it; you don’t have to pretend it’s legit. I’m legitimately wondering how much sooner Stone could have theoretically returned last y...

I’ll trust you on that although I’m not sure how you put $9.5MM back on and stay under. Martinez is $5.5M so that’s a big chunk of it. Also I think the cap is 23 players in the regular season but the solution you (and others) have proposed — counting the 20 players dressed for postseason cap purpos...

The Captain is back tonight!

(And for the record if Martinez is a healthy scratch as expected the Vegas lineup would be under the cap.)

The classic ones are great to be sure. But when the new ones are being compared unfavorable to Syracuse and UTEP…?

i know sorry sorry - i thought of you when posting it. bUt tHe pArALlAx eFfEcT!!! It's just stupid. 20 years since, the NHL still doesn't have goalline technology. Antiquated sports like soccer, rugby and cricket are way ahead. So stupid. And don’t get me started on this and the NFL for the 100th t...

It sounds like an AI generated name from Madden 2008 but he’s real.

The only sports-related thing that is as depressing as how horrible my favorite hockey team is, is how horrible my favorite football team is. ETA: From a probability standpoint, I believe that the chance of having the worst team in both leagues is 1 in 992. So I got that going for me. Which is not ...

I really hate to generalize but so much of the South is trash compared to the rest of the country. There’s nice towns and nice people to be sure but on the whole just such a weird, trashy vibe here. (I’m in Little Rock today but I’ve been here enough for previous jobs that I feel OK with my opinion.)

Understood but his first instinct was to flag it as under so even in the top 10 is a switch.

Dialed my 2024 team rankings in. Top Ten O/U picks per my spreadsheetz: 1. Tampa over 8.5 (+125) 2. Washington under 6.5 (+100) 3. Arizona under 6.5 (+100) 4. SF over 11.5 (+125) 5. Minnesota under 6.5 (-110) 6. Detroit over 10.5 (-110) 7. NY Jets over 9.5 (-115) - I hate this one either way but my...

The block font numbers is my favorite new feature.

LA is playing this third period like they want no part of the Oilers.

Lions dropped new unis today. I don’t have a link yet but kind of underwhelming though the black 3rd jersey with the blue chrome helmets and blue pants is a sweet combo.

So, was he trying to flirt? Or, just be a cringy douchebag? Googled him. Says he was born in 1967, so he just misses the cusp of being a Boomer, but there's a component of Gen X that acts pretty boomerish, so I'd say since he's a white dude with a lot of entitlement and not much common sense he was...

Since I don’t really have anything else going on and I’ll probably never get the opportunity again I decided to apply for a post office job for the Antarctic summer (October to April) at McMurdo Station, Antarctica and I passed the first round of vetting. So still many rounds to go but wish me luck ...

MAF announces he’s retiring after next season and signed a 1-year extension with the Wild. It’s good that he’ll get a proper send off in Pittsburgh and Vegas.

Also what’s the point if the “top 70” schools can’t get relegated? The “underclass” division is just constantly fighting for scraps then

Getting that win in the SO kind of twists the knife a bit. Would have been interesting to see how the Wings did in the playoffs.

And the Capitals make it 16. Crazy final night.

It’s all happening at same time so they might not have known.

Hopefully that was communicated to Philly so they don’t bother pulling the GK at 1-1.

Red Wings score with 3 seconds left to force OT.

ETA: that eliminates the Flyers as well.

Oh fuck...REALLY?

Yeah Washington getting even 1 pt eliminates Philly.

And the Flyers will have to pull their goalie in regulation if it stays 1-1.

Seems kind of insane that a shootout could determine a playoff berth. (Washington gets in even with a SO win.)

Vegas beating Edmonton, then Vancouver, then Winnipeg, then Toronto to win another Stanley Cup is a possible outcome that would set Canadian media outlets on fire.
