random SPORTS thoughts

I remember a time when there were very few teams that had names that didn't end with "s". It was a trivia question. I think there were 4 teams in the major leagues. Can you name them?

And of course two of them were White Sox and Red Sox which basically end with "s" but they found a loophole with the x. Jazz was another one. I'm pretty sure there was a 4th. Not coming to me at the moment. Still on my first coffee here.

Point being, new teams started going out of their way to have non-s names. Heat, Thunder, Magic, Wild etc. Bunch of them.

Further point being, the new Toronto NHL team - my team ---> I'm thinking maybe the Toronto Sodomy.

30-min ban for Mudcat

btw the homo on the right is the bad agent guy in The Matrix.

 

[bacon]

I found that upsetting as well and support the 30 minute ban starting at 9:44 am est.

Crossed the fuckin line, Muddy.

Agent Smith

fokking creep

 

[bacon]

The weird shit in the Matrix was creepy enough but that picture makes it at least 100x creepier

Putting this on the page to neutralize

post the right kind of gay

Didn't realize it was Hugo Weaving when I was posting it. Just grabbed an apt looking google image to enhance my zany shenanigans. I believe what I started with for the search was men kissing but I saw that down the page and thought, "Well that seems just right."

Surprise! ---> Agent Smith.

Also an elf

The Josh Gordon thing is whack. Really the whole year for weed? Sure he's a fucking idiot for a 3rd strike, but when you have Ray Rice dragging his TKO'd woman around a hotel and getting 2 games the NFL's actions make no sense and I'm not even a weed fan.

Sure you can turn on any sports station and here this same thing, but I wanted to say it as well.

That shit is WHACK.

The New York Yankees are in town and it is Derek Jeter's last time here as an active player. Apparently I am supposed to blow him. Everybody in Toronto is supposed to blow him.

He has been trying to beat the Blue Jays all these years and leading an all-around one-in-a-million charmed life - and we are supposed to thank him and perform oral sex on him for the privilege of being allowed to observe it.

Well here's what I take: umbrage.

 

[FairWarning]

I'll agree with muddy here. Jeter was a great player - a HOF player. I'm not sure he was a legendary player to get this treatment from other teams. I didn't think Chipper Jones deserved it last year either.

Jeter is a very overrated player according to advanced baseball statistics fwiw.

 

[Mudcat]

Apparently Jeter went to the pitchers mound after yesterdays ball game and then a line-up Toronto sports nerds took turns fellating him. After awhile, he no longer had a hard-on because it was just going on for too long but he said, "No, I will not leave you. If you don't mind taking my penis in your mouths flaccid, I will remain here and allow it until everyone has had the chance."

What a great human being.

The Toronto Argonauts currently have a 3-7 record.

They are in 1st place in the CFL Eastern Division.

They are not even tied for first; they are all alone in first place at 3-7.

Canadian football represents all that is wrong with Canada.

 

[bacon]

Plommer has been sneakily crushing the CFL in the BB thread.

 

[Mudcat]

I imagine he has been taking Western teams to beat Eastern teams. I have not studied the situation in-depth, but given that everyone in the east is 3-7 or worse, I'm thinking ---> the west must be better.
