  1. Never mind a lucky rabbit's foot, they have a lucky rabbit with a horseshoe made of four leaf clovers rammed up its keister. Coming back from two goals down in both legs of the tie against Quarag, the second leg scoring twice in injury time to advance 5-4. Kerrrazy.
  2. Saw something about how some folks are thinking the NCAA tournament should go to 80 teams with the lowest 32 teams playing a first round game, and 48 teams advancing directly to the round of 64. Mainly, this is at the behest of the big conferences, who want an ever bigger share of March Madness money to teams that are only like .500, but they do have a point in that less then a fifth of the teams qualify for the tournament. However. Half the fun of March Madness is the teams we know very little about (nationally speaking) pulling off the upsets and breaking everyone's brackets.. So, I've come up with a compromise that hopefully gives the majors and mid majors what they want, while making sure the smaller teams get a fair shake (and also gives the NCAA more money to send out). All conference champions (big or small) get put in the round of 64 automatically, along with the top at-large teams to make up the 48 teams. That means 32 at-large teams get placed in the NCAA Tournament first round, but the losers in this round automatically get a seed in the NIT. So, the NCAA has an additional 12 games to sell in their premier product (reminder, we're at the field of 68 now), the NIT gets a small boost because teams will want to end their season on a high after losing in the tournament, and the big and mid-major conferences will get a few more bids. (Just to break this down: Auto advancing to Round of 64: 32 Conference Champions (current amount), 16 At-Large Teams Playing in NCAA Tournament First Round: 32 At-Large Teams)
  3. Formula One. They turn right and left, and they turn into Red Bull domination shortly after the green flag drops.
  4. Scotland: Beat Wales. Lose to Italy. What the effing eff. And hell of a game between England and Ireland too.
  5. Alyssa Naehr had a crazy finish.. going to get a cross on the final kick of Extra Time, misses the ball and clears out the opponent, giving them a penalty that sent the game to PK's.. and then decided that she was going to make up for it in PK's.. She made three saves (out of 4), and converted her PK (she actually went third).. USA advance to the final
  6. USA-Canada in the W Gold Cup is a low scoring water polo matchup.. wait.. it's a soccer game? Could have fooled me with the amount of water on and in the turf.
  7. Yahoo thinks that there was a 10%-ish chance that the Celtics would be given a second win? I dig it.
  8. How it started: 21-21 just under six minutes in. How it's going: 82-38 Celtics at halftime. Just your average 61-17 run. 0_o
  9. Pulisic gets two Lazio players sent off in one game.
  10. Liked how the Bucks went "White bat" to counter Sting's Black Bat.. but Turns out that no riddles are needed, they're afraid of the big black bat... (no,get your minds out of the gutter, reprobates!)
  11. Speaking of FTR: I'm lukewarm on them as faces, but understand their position in AEW, but I think what made them special as heels was all the small things they did to get the fans into the match. They broke the rules, but never to show up or do unnecessary stuff, stuff like where the out of ring member of FTR would drop off the apron, run over to the other side and pull the opponent off the apron before a Hot tag could be made). Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that Blackpool Combat Club is more now about violence then being the best wrestlers, I think they would really fill a role in the BCC.
  12. Cuz we all know I'm Tony Khan in a big man suit. I wish I was, actually.
  13. Honestly, if they want to give Will Ospreay the rocket push while keeping him out of the title hunt for now, they should have him be smart. Have him absolutely stuff the turn attempt by Don Callis, and then cut the following promo. "Don, I'm not a bloody idiot. I've seen what happens to your "Family" members. I've talked to Kenny (Omega). I've talked to Chris (Jericho). I even talked to Sammy (Guevara). One of us was getting stomped into the ground tonight after the match, and because I KNOW you didn't tell me that you wanted Takeshita out, I knew I suddenly had a target on my back, ready for the knife to be stuck in. So, for once, someone's going to be one step ahead of you And if you think about getting revenge, don't. I'm a better wrestler then your family, and I'm sure as hell SMARTER then your Family is." Then Callis goes NUTS (How DARE someone outsmart him), throwing Takeshita and Hobbs at Ospreay relentlessly, probably with Fletcher joining Ospreay to take losses in tag matches to further the feud (gotta give the heels SOMETHING), and then when a certain someone is ready, have them take out Fletcher and say "You have no tag partner now".. and Ospreay says "I was one step ahead of you AGAIN, Callis.. I called a favor in with an old enemy of mine, who wants to kick your ass as much as I do". The Return of Kenny Omega. The place comes unglued.
  14. Call it DEAN~!woods, stuff like "12 across: 9 letters: Survival Tobita's fiercest opponent (answer:KENTHEBOX)
  15. Crazy finish in the Women's Premier League game in India, as a new batsman comes to the crease needing a 4 to tie with the final ball, and... (watch the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE_2gIMsEUQ
  16. Putting it here because the game is playable (demo, full release in three days).. Balatro is fucking digital CRACK. At its heart, you're building poker hands using a standard deck of card. You play up to 5 cards at a time, and try to make poker hands (Straights/Flushes etcetera require five cards) You get points per scoring card (so if you say, put forward two pair, the fifth card won't score) and the type of hand you play as a modifier. You have a limited number of discards each round to help you get rid of cards that don't fit your goals in poker building. Sounds pretty yawn inducing, right? Enter the Jokers, The Planets and the Arcana. they modify the rules in different ways. Jokers for example, may give you a bonus every time you score a card of a certain suit, or odd/even.. Planets allow you to muck about with cards, adding modifiers (like a random chance to earn a ton of bonus/cash), or change their suit and rank. So, as you get deeper and deeper into a run, you might need a score of say, 6,400 compared to 300 in your first round, but you have a LOT more strategy. You can have up to five jokers, and there are some extremely busted combos (in my demo beating run, I had a Joker which increased all the Jokers values by 1 after each round, and another Joker that gave you a multiplier bonus for each dollar your Jokers are worth. Needless to say, it ramped up QUICKLY, especially when I had a joker that provided 30 chips (before the multiplier) for each diamond I played in a hand It's roguelike in that you make decisions on what to do with each run, but progression is limited in the demo Seriously, if you like brain stretching combo strategy games, try the demo free on Steam, and buy it when it comes out in three days.
  17. England will host a Legends world cup (over 35's) before Euro 2024 https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/unveiling-over-35s-world-cup-star-studded-event-in-england-20240214-WST-489513.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1708051012
  18. Apparently Tony Khan just decided "We don't get to bleed often on TV, so, in the main event, EVERYONE bleeds. Bryce, can we count on you to tap a gusher too? No? Ok. Fine, Cassidy, Taven, make it double!"
  19. Nets fans were like "Hey, we kept it below double digits in the first game, maybe we can pull off something in the rematch, they have to be tired, right?" Celtics put 136 up against them. Craziest thing is it isn't even the biggest win of the season (beat Indy by 51)
  20. This is how I'd book it: Night One: Cody/??? (Seth?) vs Roman/Rock. If Cody's team win, the main event on Night two is Cody/Roman. If Roman/Rock win, then the Night two main event is Roman vs Rock. Kinda like the Daniel Bryan vs HHH with the winner getting put in the title match at the end of the night. Rock can be a tweener saying to Roman "Family Business first, then we decide who's the head of the family". Then, after Roman screws up somehow, and Rock eats the pin, the next night the Rock prevents the rest of the Bloodline from interfering.
  21. Ricky Ponting to coach in the US this year. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/68226045
  22. They should give it a catchy name like "Cable TV"
  23. Sheffield is not exactly the happiest place on football earth. Wednesday's in 23rd in the championship, and United is 10 points from safety just past halfway through, which.. coincidentally, was the same amount of points they HAVE so far.
