Ireland caused a bit of a last minute palpitation, but look to close things out..
and every time an associate team defeats a "Big 10" team, it's a giant fuck you to the ICC, because the next Cricket World Cup 2019 has reduced the field from 14 (this year) to 10.. possibly costing teams like Scotland, Ireland, and Afghanistan places.

I was going to buy Offworld Trading Company, but considering one of the companies behind it is Stardock, whose CEO is generally known as an asshat (sexual harassment and a vocal supporter of "gamergate" ).. yeah, that money's staying in my pocket.

Gotta love the fan contests held, if you're wearing a certain brewery's t-shirt during the tournament and make a clean one handed catch in the crowd, you can win up to $1 million (18,000 for the catch, and then an extra 250K shared for each round New Zealand goes)
edit: here's a catch from a previous New Zealand game worth $100,000. From the reaction of the folks around him, you think he'd had promised to share it with the folks around him.
Don't think they could do anything like that here in the US, considering the stampedes that happen every time a big homerun is hit, it'd be impossible to verify it was a clean one handed catch (without glove)

I picked up Evolve on PC (SirFozzie on Steam) we should try to reconstitute Team Leeroy Jenkins members on PC

England and Ireland make it 2 for 2, England easily dismissing Italy 47-17, and Ireland scuffling somewhat against a... not at their best French side, 18-11. and as teams cross the halfway point with their next game, it's likely that England-Ireland on March 1st will be an early title decider.

BT and Sky sports retain EPL rights for 7.8 Billion dollars over three years for 2016-19.
This comes at a time when all twenty of the Premier League teams are in the top 40 world wide for richest club, where West Brom, 17th in EPL funding makes (already) twice as much as Bayern Munich from TV rights.

Dean Smith, we hardly knew ye...
The greatest college coach of all time?In my mind, at least on the Mount Rushmore of men's college basketball coaches (Smith, Knight, Coach K, Wooden).He will be missed.- 1

Six Nations underway.,..
So, Scotland score the only try of the game against France, but poor play at the breakdown leads to France winning 15-8 thanks to five French converted Penalties.
Ireland beat Italy pretty comprehensively and England survive a Welsh quick start and come back from being down at halftime 16-8 to win 21-16.

So, the Rnagers being clownshoes thing went in a new and exciting direction today, as they reveal in the press conference that they're being REQUIRED to play the five players they took on loan from Newcastle at the deadline

I dunno.. I can understand them being disappointed they didn't win, but I dunno if throwing your coaches under the bus like this is a good thing:

I’m in the Seahawks locker room. Wow. Talking about despair! Those who can speak are freely ripping that last play call. Big time -
Great game.. I can respect the Seahawks for one hell of a game, that came down to the end..
But the Pats homer in me wants to rail about the classless jerks that seem to play for the Seahawks. Pretend you're dropping your pants after a touchdown? Sherman mocking Revis on the sidelines after they run a ref pick to free someone for a touchdown? Start a fight when you've lost? Seahawks acted like thugs.
But wow, what a game, what a crazy fucking game. lowest of lows (Helmet catch part 2), highest of highs (Butler INT) -
I think the Pats have a good chance in this One (then again, I would, wouldn't I?)
But the Seahawks excel at making teams grind it out and taking away the big play... and the Pats excel at grinding it out.
24-21, Pats.

And considering today's NFL.COM report, Carter has apparently taken one two many hits to the head
-
Hahaha, and just intime for the superbowl, NFL.COM refutes previous reports that "all the balls were 2+pounds PSI below allowed", and that most were JUST below legal level. Conspiracy theorists are already pointing to the leak of Falcons noise sweetening investigation to try to distract people from the possibility of the Patriots skating

Man Yoo tell their season ticket holders "Buy tickets to the Cambridge Replay or be banned from using your season ticket for the next game"
Mixed feelings. More money for Cambridge, but damn, that's harsh, an extra 50 or so pounds or be banned from attending a match you supposedly already paid for?

28 inches of snow here about 40 minutes outside the city.. the city itself has about 23", which puts it as the seventh worst storm of all time.

90 seconds to deflate eleven of twelve balls in a bathroom. (instead, he was draining HIS two balls, most likely)
Try harder, NFL.

Elite:Dangerous is a space sim game released last month that is a psuedo remake of a classic game (Elite) where you're a space pilot, almost like a space sim sandbox, you can be a miner, a trader (taking goods from one system to another for profit), an explorer (someone actually went all the way to the galactic Rim to explore) a pirate, a bounty hunter, etcetera. You can play in an offline mode, where the only people you'll interact with are NPC's, but played online, you can be ambushed by your fellow players.. it's rather forgiving of death (you lose your ship, but can buy it back for a reduced price, etcetera).
And it's... hella graphical. Super graphical.I mean, this was one of the games the Occulus Rift was MADE for.
Here's a video of it.

I just saw the funniest moment on Twitch with Elite:Guy hunting bounties.. gets mad when he thinks someone stole one of his kills. The guy messaged the other commander going "That wasn't polite, CMDR..", and basically told him to explain himself (and/or back off) or he was going to do something about the kill-steal.When the other CMDR didn't respond, he starts attacking..Meanwhile in Twitch Chat, the other commander (who was one of the stream viewers) is frantically trying to get his attention.. because for some reason he can't reply in game. The whole chat is losing their shit laughing..Just about when the other CMDR is dead, the guy finally reads twitch chat "Holy shit, that's you?" and breaks off the attack..He then did the gentlemanly thing and covered him on his way out of the system to go get repaired.

Kinda a fun stat:
300+ has been chased down five times in the Cricket World Cup. Of those five, three of them have been done by Ireland.
