Tailgated at the Super Bowl yesterday. It was wonderful. Our power inverter started to crap out at half time, so we walked a little bit to see it on another screen. When Atlanta went up 28-3. I just walked back to the car. I was too emotional. I didn't want to be near anybody. So I watched it on my phone. Once it got to overtime, I knew New England was going to win. Once I saw the fireworks and White score the game winner, I opened the door and sprinted around the parking lot. I was rather drunk and too emotional. It was amazing though.
Russell Westbrook is making magic on the court.
Never was much of a Westbrook fan. He never struck me as much of a team catalyst. But individually he clearly has all the god given talent in the world and is bonkers on a statsheet. The numbers he is putting up have been unseen since Oscar Robertson and it would be criminal if he didn’t win regular season MVP.
It’s a shame that James Harden is having such a career year plus has the Rockets poised well for the playoffs but he isn’t likely for MVP.
Also crazy to think just a few years ago Durant, Westbrook, and Harden were all playing together. Imagine if OKC could have kept that together.
And I’d love to see some upsets in the playoffs this year, like a Boston vs. Houston finals would be way more interesting than another Cleveland/GoldenState.
Mississippi State just beat U-Conn in overtime in the Women's Final Four and ended U-Conn's 111-game winning streak. 66-64.

That streak should go down as the most impressive streak in sports history.
Finally!! Hockey playoffs! Habs vs NYR. This should be good. Kreider better watch his back.
This thread has been so quiet. The NHL playoffs have been great so far and it would just thrill me if the Blackhawks got swept by the Preds.
The fucking Bears, man.
Everyone had eyes on the Browns, waiting to see how they could fuck it up. They do good, and then the Bears come outta left field with an absolutely stupid fucking pick trade up for a QB who doesn't know what a fucking hard count is.
BRUHHH
Connor McDavid is a bad, bad man.
McGregor vs Mayweather confirmed for August 26, 2017. Boxing match of course.
I bet early KO for Mayweahter. No way McGregor can hang in there.
Mayweather is overrated and a disgrace to the sport of boxing.
Yeah I don't know...Conor has a history in boxing, is more of a stand up fighter, doesn't have an insane ground game, has really only usually lost when it came to the ground, etc. Plus Floyd insisted on the 10oz gloves, though he's fought at 8oz forever...he's afraid of how much power Conor has perhaps...
And let's not forget the tale of the tape.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER CONOR MCGREGOR Born United States Ireland Age 40 28 Height 5'8" 5'9" Weight 151 lbs. 154 lbs. Reach 72" 74" Record (49-0 boxing, 26 KOs) (21-3 MMA, 18 KOs) Net worth (est.) $650 million $22 million
Shorter, reach disadvantage. Sure it's Floyd's world but for anyone instantly thinking it's his fight...be careful lol.
McGregor is currently in a no-lose situation. If he wins, he's beaten one of the best boxers of all time*. If he loses, he made a shit ton of money and lost to one of the best boxers off all time.
*I know very little about boxing, but this seems to be the prevailing opinion.
Oh totally, and to be fair, while it's great for him, the real losers are the fighters in his UFC division who have to sit and watch the UFC give him shit like this instead of forcing him to defend the damn title.
Are we gonna do a fantasy league this year?
Anybody want to do fantasy football? So far it's me, Dra, and Trish. And Sarah!
I'd be interested!
Sure. In fact, if you're able to start it you can. Currently dealing with limited internet connection here.
76 hours until actual meaningful regular season football is being played. Can hardly wait. My friends and I do a 'guy's weekend' annually, and the last three years it's coincided with the day of first regular season NFL game.
Real football, fantasy football, I love it all and I'm pumped. I'm only in two fantasy leagues this year so far, which is fewer than I'm used to, but it should still be a blast anyway.
Most importantly: GO PACK GO!
I'm going to auto draft tonight.

If Kansas City goes 0-15 for the rest of the season, I would be oddly OK with it given the absolute curb stomping they just gave NE. It does not often pay to be a Chiefs fans, but today is one of those rare days.
