I am so unbelievably tired of the sports gambling ads. And incorporating lines and similar into the broadcasts.

Indeed it was.

Shit A Matter of Life and Death is leaving the CC? I might need to rewatch it before that.

And we're right back to "the human body just isn't meant to be that big and that explosive at the same time."

As well as betting on multiple games through a proxy, including thrice betting against his own team (good news is he didn't play in those games.) It turns out the upside to legal sports betting is that people get to see "that's weird, that's the second time in three months that there were huge payouts on prop bet unders for some nobody on the Raptors. Huh, he left both those games early because of health reasons. That's weird."

Apparently bet on multiple NBA games along with the parlay fuckery. He didn't play in any of the games he bet on, but he did bet on the Raptors to lose three different times.

And now they have a game Friday as their last chance to get in... Terrible double whammy

Pistons are looking for a new President of Basketball Operations to sit above Weaver though.

This is what, the third DC stab at an Ultimate line? After All-Star and Earth One (fourth if you count the Nu52) The problem Marvel ran into was the whole "classic stories and characters without the weight of continuity" wears off after a few years when continuity starts to build up. (Though I personally was a pretty big fan of the late era Ultimate Universe 1.0 when it instead became the place that the writers could do anything. Kill Peter Parker and Wolverine for real, split the United States into chunks, etc etc. It didn't sell worth a damn.) Depending on creative teams/characters I'll at least give these a look though.

I think I'm more partial to Makabe/Thatcher than the Dog Collar Match personally, but that's more stylistic preference than a comment on match quality. That was a top two matches for the ages, on top of a great card all the way down. Been a long time since I bought wrestling on physical media but hell yes.

I really would like to get a clear answer if it's Nike or Fanatics that's more responsible for the MLB uniform disaster

God it'll be hilarious if Miami ends up eight and then kicks the hell out of Boston again. Best possible outcome of the entire season.

Oh I'm way the fuck more interested in the sequel. Jukebox musical sequel to a serious drama that wasn't a musical, with Lady Gaga the second lead? This has high trainwreck potential, but it also could end up being something special. Basically I can see it being a 1/5 or a 4.5/5 but I can't imagine it's gonna be a 2.5-3/5 like the first one was.

It's kinda absurd how few seeds are actually locked in going into today.

However bad of a day you had today, Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry probably had a worse one. Trailing 5-4 in the 12th, he committed an error that resulted in three runs. Then because his manager forgot that the pitching coach had already made a mound visit, and because it was the 12th inning of the first game of a double header, McKinstry wound up on the mound moments later. He proceeded to walk a batter and then serve up a three run homer. He basically was personally responsible for six runs allowed in the 12th. Detroit lost 11-5.

That's completely unfair. It also had copious and obvious lifting from The King of Comedy.

Yeah there was a point where he said something about how he was leaving animation to return full time to comics, but I don't know that he's ever done interiors since then.

With NYX being revamped/revived that makes me wonder... Has Josh Middleton done anything except covers for Aquaman and a few other DC books in the last like ten or fifteen years?

A lot of people think the only reason Kareem played twenty years and well into his forties was that his manager stole damn near all the money he made in the 70's.

Seems to be working pretty well so far

Judge really is a huge man.

Yeah I have no idea what happened when the calendar flipped from February to March but it's dispiriting after spending most of the season pretty optimistic the Wings were finally moving back upwards.

Well that's gonna hurt the Wings playoff chances a lot. Fucking Ovechkin.

Looked a lot like yesterday. One team had the best player but the other was better pretty much from 2 on down the rotation.

Huh, a new NYX
