That Aud Smell

Shanahan hired Berube? "Yikes." (Sorry that I can't get it to embed.)

⬆️ I’m watching Vancouver rn. What about them? They stunk last year. (But was that an aberration?)

That’s some nasty business.

This is obnoxious. 🤪

Carlin would have a field day with virtue signaling whoppers like turning “homeless” into “unhoused.” Louie CK takes a run at such things in his bit regarding the “R-word.” (And mind you, I consider that word essentially off limits — but CK makes great points in his bit about the word’s elimination from common speech.)

He was just doing normal admin things when things got offensive. Also, I know you weren’t saying there was an intentional effort to mock the homeless and homelessness. I think I understand your point — this is sort of a cheap, casual cruelty. I just … it’s too much. Too sensitive. P.s. I thought I posted this hours ago. Found it sitting on this tab as a draft of sorts.

Lol - the Broncos' former safety's name is Justin. Hence the brain cramp. This is becoming (has been?) a thing in the NFL: Take a no risk flyer on a physical freak.

That Broncos safety (Simmons) is still out there. 2nd team all pro last season. 30 years old. Seems like he's getting a bit of the Justin [EDIT: JORDAN] Poyer treatment. Didn't Poyer test free agency last offseason - after being named an all pro? - before returning to the Bills for the 2023 season?

NHL social media teams are generally pretty fun.

Easiest "ignore" ever? Easiest "ignore" ever.

I don’t think he’s claiming that the Bills social media team was intentionally making fun of the homeless or making light of homelessness. Unless maybe he is. Also, let’s get a woke footnote here: The more appropriate term is unhoused, not homeless.

You're missing or ignoring several layers of context here - as well as the bit's fundamental absurdity.

Am I? I'm definitely progressive (liberal) on most social issues. I even spent some time savin' the world as a younger man -- working with street and homeless populations, as it happens. And I now have kids of my own doing similar things in their 20s. So yeah. I also have a sense of humour. This is sh1tty. I sometimes debate what I can't abide more: A conservative (or whatever those folks actually are nowadays) who wants things to go back to being great, or a humourless liberal.

I just watched the schedule release clip. Solid lulz. That Allen is a character. C'mon. You're gonna have people rolling their eyes out of their head.

Anyone have a screenshot of that crying Canes fan? The little kid? Anyone know if some of his tears were caught and bottled? There'd be a market for those.

I’m not being clear. I seem to recall that there was a long stretch of play for Tage in 22-23 where he was putting up Bergeron type numbers — plenty of points and excellent defensive metrics

I mean more in terms of powerful 2-way play.

This continues to be an interesting take. Otoh, wasn’t there a long stretch in 22-23 where he was tracking as a Lady Bynge candidate?

Interesting stuff here. My lingering concern with Tage is that he won’t hold up. Tall fella. Very tall. UNNATURALLY TALL. Short stick. Torqued one timers. The back injury in 22-23? The slow start in 23-24. Idk, man.

In a neat irony, the prior post suggesting that Ruff could unlock Tage's inner Evander Kane qualifies as a whopper of a bad take as well.

Jeebus Christmas, man. This post ⬆ ranks among the worst I've ever responded to on this board. I'd suggest you think about things a little less. And not for nothing: That meme depicts an animatronic orangutan (so, a great ape - not a monkey) that is malfunctioning in such a way as to amusingly suggest questions to the viewer like "bro, you serious?" It is a modern classic. One of my favourites.

spitting f**king fire takes of late.

Those are some *strong* genes. Sheesh.
