The Swamp

Please don't hate on me for talking MLS, but I went to my first TFC game over the weekend. I had heard over the years that the atmosphere here in Toronto was insane and ended up being totally underwhelmed. I guess years of being atrocious would affect the fans of almost any team, and apparently it's...

Ziggy didn't look as raw as I expected on the weekend.

Lions fever - catch it.

Speaking of dogs licking balls (thank you Howard for that brilliant setup):

Dog eats paralyzed man's genitals.

Two of the guys are originally from Windsor, hence the Lions being an acceptable (mandatory?) choice. From my experience, the majority of Torontonians are Bills fans though. These guys have done that drive for a few years now and usually make it to 5 or 6 games per year, so I'll see how it goes this...

Well, sad times are upon your boy Hotcakes. I will be moving to Toronto and as such have given up my Seattle Seahawks season tickets. I've been a Hawks fan since I was a kid, and I picked what has to be the worst possible season in franchise history to be moving away (though Harvin's hip might have ...

You'd better believe that Leaf fans enjoyed that finish!

Crazy that the draft is in a mere 6 days.

Johnny Hotcakes

Zero. Guess that's what I deserve for cheering exclusively for Vancouver/Seattle teams.

Eric Francis reporting that water is now up to row 10 in the Saddledome. Having been there a few times, I can't fathom how that is even possible. Hope you and your family (and your hot interns) are safe, Degen.

Johnny Hotcakes

Agreed. I like my steak rare, my beer cold, and my soccer players Latino.

As the NBA season comes to an end, I just wanted to say how fantastic the work of Zach Lowe is. I hardly follow the league any more, but reading Zach Lowe's work is an absolute pleasure. Really? I recalled you being the go-to Swamp expert on all things NBA? I guess I really was gone for a long time.

Love when those great gambling victories happen. I, on the other hand, had San Antonio +6, which of course seemed like a mortal lock until Ginobili did his thang in the last 39 seconds.

Just received this text (not sure of the original source):

Hernandez: "Yo Gronk, what do I do with my phone and security system?"

Gronk: "SMASH!!!!"

Johnny Hotcakes

It's not terribly interesting, but the daughter of a former co-worker of mine (actually at the same company Sabo and I worked at together) dated Hernandez at UF. I should check Facebook and see what her take is. Anyone I know? I doubt it. One of the Harris salespeople stationed down in Melbourne. I...

Also, I balked for the longest time at buying a nice suit. Mostly due to being cheap. But it's totally been worth it to have a go-to suit whenever it is needed, and I figure that it will last at least ten years. Unless I get fat.

Johnny Hotcakes

I don't have much to add, but I'll chime in. Since my job requires business casual attire, I rarely need a suit for professional reasons. Therefore, I am heavy on the dress pants/shirts, but light on the suits. That said, I've slowly come to realize over the years that there are a few scenarios that...

Ray Rae Redux? You mean is he going to plea-bargain out in a deal to give up his friends and then spout out a bunch of BS in court so that nobody ever gets arrested and the DA is somehow okay with this and he goes on to become the epitome of everything that is right with the NFL? And, of course, fi...

Now we consider why they signed Tim Tebow:

a) To pray for the speedy recovery of Gronkowski
b) To pray for Hernandez innocence
c) To play TE for the Pats
d) All of the above

Time to start the rebuild!

Not having Duncan in when you need a stop and a rebound to win the fucking championship is about an indefensible a decision as one can make. Almost as bad was leaving Manu in the entire time too. Momentum schomentum, the Spurs still should've won despite all that, so I think they take game 7 by 10....

The only way it could be any worse is if they were called the Ottawa Redblackskins. Sorry, Ottawa REDBLACKSKINS.

I feel like I'm the only person on earth not watching this show.

Hodor! (did I do that right?)

Just read in the paper that a man was admitted to hospital last night after accidentally getting six toy plastic horses lodged in his ass. Doctors said that his condition is stable.

I had something similar happen with mice a few years back. Didn't start a fire or anything, but they did fuck with my wires. The parking garage at my current complex is apparently also infested with mice, but thankfully I've been spared thus far.

I sense some HBPs in that kid's future.

Agreed, I doubt Jason was offended.

I thought this was timely given the discussion in this thread. I-Penis spoke, and it looks like the CRTC has listened "The CRTC is also capping extra data charges at $50 per month and international data roaming charges at $100 per month to avoid huge, surprise bills." Sorry to further jack...

I think Jason's going to get very sick very fast of having to be the go to guy anytime anybody in sports says something stupid.

Hey, degen. Ever observe that " theweathernetwork " is just about always wrong? The Environment Canada forecast is better, more reasonable. But, still. 2013 and satellites and shit everywhere and they can't even tell us if it is going to rain tomorrow morning. Funny you say that, as I had...

Was given this as a semi-joke and it turned out to be semi-delicious. Not outstanding, but much better than you would think.

This is random, but not something learned.

Going on vacation for two weeks and likely won't be internetting much during that time, so please, don't worry if you don't hear from me for awhile. I'm likely ok. So don't worry, you guys.

Good thread. Unfortunately, I need to accomplish some things from home this evening. That said, in the background I'll certainly be watching Sharks/Canucks, while trying to sprinkle in some OKC/Houston. It's a tossup between Boston/NYY and Montreal/Ottawa, so I suppose I'll just flip back and forth....
