getting close to that time of year where summer disappointment team overlaps with winter disappointment team.

exciting times

I prefer winter disappointment, because there's no ragweed pollen in the air.

So I have no way of knowing if it is actually true or not, but there are screenshots of the guy saying very, very nasty things about a guy's wife, after said guy noted that Rogers' injury means that the Packers won't get a higher draft pick as compensation.

Like really, really nasty things about the dude's wife.

I prefer spring disappointment myself, playoffs and draft dreams get crushed.

The dude might have got banned because he was impersonating a Warner Bros. exec. On Twitter only Elon is allowed to pretend to be an executive.

I miss the All Dressed powder. Now I need to slum it with salt and vinegar.

I could never really get into all dressed. But salt and vinegar has grown on me. But I never put salt on my fries, just vinegar.

Go Leafs Go.

The Jets game fiasco is just another reminder of how hard it is for aging athletes to continue playing into their late 30's and 40's. Even the elite athletes start to fade once they reach a certain point in their aging process. Some guys like Brady can push it a little longer, but even he hit a wall and read the writing on it. Rodgers is staring at that same wall now.

Edit : Jesus Christ, I am talking about football now. We need some phucking hockey before I lose my mind.

If I make fries it's malt vinegar+garlic salt+smoked paprika and fry those (frank)ers in olive oil.

Unless you're named Novak where aging is in reverse somehow.

I had to Google how old he is. 36. He's got another couple of good years left in him, but it's coming for him also. McEnroe retired when he was 38 or 39. Novak does look dominant.

That sounds great. I like peanut oil myself, but I'd still eat the ass out of those fries.

It's still kind of insane that they found out he had a gluten allergy or some poop when he was 27 and that was why he kept fading all time because he was eating 5000lbs of pasta pre-game He probably would be at 35 grand slams or something had they figured it out earlier.

Guy still has a few years left to continue padding his resume. If tennis has a HOF, he's probably first ballot material already.

I think it's amazing when any tennis player can last for so long.

The sport is absolutely brutal on the knees, wrists, elbows and shoulders.

That Alcaraz kid is pretty good. Not a major follower of tennis, but catch the odd big match. Kind of nutty how three guys in one era basically all were the Gretzky of their time.

I think they sign Gregor for 775~800k ish
Holmberg is sent to the Marlies only because he can be

Bertuzzi - Matthews - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Bill Ny
Domi - Kampf - Jarnkrok
Lafferty - Gregor - Reaves

- dmnted


Gregor could also replace Lafferty

Saves around 400K in cap space
