The Swamp

It's about 8-10 years on death row in Ohio. They like to execute mofos in this state.

Sabo, you made two finals and two semifinals, and are whining? Yes. All that effort for not a damn thing except a Swamp thread where I can bitch about it. I've played fantasy sports for at least 20 years now, and I think I've won about three leagues ever. That doesn't include pick 'em contests, whi...

Hodor had a great debut for the Swamp, no question.

But that pales in comparison to how much better the Swamp is when Johnny Hotcakes is here and posting.

A friend of mine had a Ballast Point Durado Double IPA recently. He couldn't finish it. It reminded him too much of cough medicine. Tis a shame really, as Ballast Point makes some good beers from what I understand.

I regularly listen to Football Weekly, WWDTM and Car Talk. I occasionally listen to This American Life but only if the topic is of interest to me.

Christina Amphlett.

You know what she sang but you don't know who she is.

What AB said.

Very nice goal. That looked like a Football Manager goal.

Blackpool were creamed by Brighton Hove and Albion 4-1 this past weekend. They are four points above the final relegation spot with two games to go. Cardiff City have already been promoted, and Hull City look likely to get the second automatic promotion spot. They are four points ahead of Watford wi...

I am officially the Buffalo Bills of fantasy sports. This season, I had four free fantasy hockey teams. This past week, two of the teams played in the finals, and the other two teams played in the semis. I lost all four games. Congrats to sancarlos for winning the Swamp auction draft league, and con...

Leighton Baines leaps to mind.

The Indians batted around the order in consecutive innings tonight. Astros pitchers have thrown more than 85 pitches through two innings. 14-0 Indians with 13 hits.

Reddick has another beard off going against WWE wrestler Daniel Bryan.

Wow, Sabres. That's one hell of a way to end a period.

I've been having problems with it all morning.

The Yankees just played Sweet Caroline in the 3rd inning as a dedication to what happened yesterday. Decent gesture, but that fell flat on its face. I've never understood that in the first place. Given the Yankees/RedSox divide, why on earth would the Fenway faithful adopt a song from a guy that gr...

Two Welsh teams in the EPL? This can't end well.

Jimmy Haslem had an interesting day.

A father-vs-son manager match up in League One this weekend, with the game being huge for both sides.

Great story.

Is it OK to like Jose Mourinho?

It's impossible to hate the Special One.

That's a fantastic story.

This is awesome.

Hoping someone thinks Detroit or Cleveland wants Millner, or that two of the top three left tackles go in the top three picks making Arizona/Miami/? move up. The general thinking here in Cleveland is they will try to move down to get a second-round pick. They lost their 2nd rounder when they took J...

Thanks to vandwagon for the thread idea, which was in the spring thaw reading thread. So, if you could go back in time and choose your college major again, what would you study? I'd probably pick something that would allow me to work outdoors, such as biology, forestry or ornithology. I also would s...

That sounds like a great Swamp thread. I'm stealing the idea.

That's hilarious.

Gotta say I prefer the iOOTP instead of the full version. The full version was just too damn involved for my tastes. I don't really need to set the lineups for my low A ball team, although Rex apparently disagrees with me. Runnin on iphone or ipad? iPad. I said high A-ball. Setting your low A-ball ...

Carlos Carrasco, you are a stupid, stupid man. So, he throws at Billy Butler's head in 2011 and gets a six-game suspension. Before he can serve the suspension, he blows out his elbow and has to get Tommy John surgery. The Indians keep him on their roster so he can serve his suspension and be the fif...

Huh. Billy Hamilton is on the Reds MLB roster in this game. He's also listed at shortstop.

His speed and base stealing ratings are 20s, in case you're wondering.

I wish you hadn't told me this.

Thank you very much for the team you have been Champions On the pitch I'm sorry to go out this way injustice and racism I hope to open a thorough investigation UEFA regarding the Spanish club out this way Which does not affect the spirit of sport This is not f...

Wow. This makes Angel Hernandez look slightly better after his WBC strike call.

Who knows German? Can you interpret that for us?

The German one starts off with "BDSM". I don't think further interpretation is needed.

Safe to say Pitino is getting a gummer from Mrs. Pitino tonight.

LOL at Pitino for duck-and-cover move when the fireworks went off.

This is one of the most physical NCAA basketball games I've ever seen. These guys are just mugging each other.

Yeah, it was Katrina. I remember that thread pretty well because some Swampers (I don't think they stuck around) wanted the mods to edit all of his posts because they were so mean spirited.
