Dolfan in NYC

Oh the heads that turn, make my back burn... And those heads that turn, make my back, make my back burn.... Last week, a Beach Bash! This week... Time for Double or Nothing! Wait, does that mean two beach bashes or none? The sparkle in your eyes... Keeps me alive. And the sparkle in your eyes... Keeps me alive, keeps me alive! Of course, lots of stuff happened last week, not the least of which was the power of friendship helping Jon Moxley retain his prize. (Sierra... Hotel... You know the rest.) And the world, And the world turns around... The world, and the world, yeah, the world drags me down... This week... before the PPV... a confrontation! (Sorry, but this really looks like the poster for a rom-com movie.) (This came up on Spotify the other day and this thread title just stayed in my brain for every second since.) Enjoy your Memorial Day!

Via this same story, she let it slip that she and Belichick are now engaged. I guarantee you the words "we're moving the timeline up" were texted by her.

(Also, Finn is truly an evil motherfucker. Bless him.)

It's probably being discussed in the Video Game thread, but the video game Fortnite has an AI-controlled Darth Vader voice now. It's not going well. Long story short it's varied between telling people to kill their families and themselves and asked ...*checks notes*... If other players think Chun Li's ass is sexy. Seeing as how this is exactly what they went on strike for...

We are young, heartache to heartache, we stand... No promises, no demands... Love is a battlefield... It's a busy time in WWE land! Summer's about to start and we're beginning the push to Money in the Bank! We've got two qualfiers this week: Why yes, that IS Charlotte Flair in the middle. What do you mean you can't recognize her anymore? We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong. Searching our hearts for so long... Both of us knowing, love is a battlefield... Hey, this week we have TWO (count em!) TWO big shows! Saturday has a Main Event~! I'll bet you Logan Paul is gonna cut a promo where he insults the local sports team too! Though I am curious to see how they'll continue to build to Sami-Jey, which looks like the title match for SummerSlam. You're making me go, then making me stay. Why do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to know, do I stand in your way? Or am I the best thing you've had? And then... forget that All Elite garbage with their "good wrestling and storylines"! Who needs that when you've got NXT! AND TNA! Tony D'Angelo really needs to get called up or let go because he's been in NXT forever and well... it's not like he's getting better down there. (It's fun to look back and see a New York that just doesn't exist anymore. Also one of the best small venue concerts I ever saw was Pat and Neil Giraldo at BB Kings. She rules.) Enjoy the week!

One thing's for certain... I doubt we'll be hearing a particular chant again:

Not sure if this is accurate, but Marchand is apparently the first player in NHL history to win 5 winner take all games against the same franchise.

Brock Purdy just robbed the Niners. 5/265 (180 guarantee)

Hell yeah, Thomas being told to gfh by Jesus. Judas trying to commit suicide and having his entrails eaten by birds when it fails. Gibson is going to have an erection the whole time he's filming.

Look at the HOF thread.

That's kind of like how Mark McGwire led the Majors in HR's in 1997 but did not lead either league.

I've hated him for years and years before that. There's no one person more responsible for the "I'M THE STAR, NOT THE SPORTS" attitude of most people on sports TV than Christopher J. Berman. The catchphrases, the forced jokes, the attitude... all at the expense of the athletes he's supposed to be covering. He's a terrible announcer who people found charming because a relatively young person was telling them about sports and not the boring asshole who's on the local news. He is also notoriously difficult to work with. Diva attitude and behavior. Screaming at PA's and interns if everything isn't exactly how he wants. I have first hand accounts of what a miserable prick he is. But hey, he's said Rhhhhaaaiiiaaderrrrrrrhssssss since 1984, and makes the executives laugh, so he got a huge contract and pushed others out. The "leather" story for me was just confirmation of what I'd already felt and later actually knew.

AMERICANA Starring Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, and Simon Rex Written & Directed by Tony Tost (Damnation)

F1 Starring Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, & Damson Idris Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion, Tron: Legacy, Top Gun: Maverick) --- I can forgive giant monsters and unkillable villains, but a seven-time American F1 champ is just a bridge too far.

Notably, the Colts tried to do this same gimmick, but had to delete their video. It's assumed to be because the Miami game featured a Dolphin wearing a #10 jersey was being arrested by police.

I can think of at least one reason...

So, it's pretty much been confirmed by several sources that the rebrand was almost 100% a move by a "high level executive" (hi David!) who, despite being shown lots and lots of data to explain this was a very stupid decision, pulled rank and ordered the change to "Max". (And actually personally, a friend of a friend who worked at HBO confirmed to me.) At least the social medial team is "having fun" with it: It's basically their only chance to obliquely tell their boss to fuck himself. So, good for them.

Again... I'm new.... But Leafs fans throwing their jerseys on the ice... is that good?

I admit I don't know THAT much about hockey but 17/23 players scoring seems okay.

The NFL talking heads are floating out the latest horrible idea: A draft lottery.

I'm sincerely hoping the characters have aged 20+ years because if not, it's going to be "What if Boomhauer had iPad" and that's going to be terrible.

These are the two types of guys you meet when you go to Long Island:

Oh and the US blew a 5-1 lead against Norway who tied with about a minute left. But.... the US scored in OT and won 6-5.
