In the hugely tense championship game of a major rugby tournament, my buddy made a spectacular break and beat all but one player, and somehow got off a ridiculous pass to me on the wing. As it arced through the air, I could clear-as-day hear my Mom let out a primal shriek in the stands at roughly 120 decibels,…

this is great! ... and no body shared it online right away(though i bet it was awhile back) trying to get likes and upvotes or go viral. Its a spontaneous moment and personal memory you can share like you just have without also having to think, “oh the video of this memory was shared and liked 1,000,000 times on…

“just a half-sack shy of the NFL record”. So a full sack above the actual record, then?

This person would make a great Disney villain.

Trump does.

I express many thanks for awarding of American Cup of Hockey Award and am blessed for being straddled by the thighs of Chicago. Beneath the cheese I will glaze the ham, as was the old way.

10 bucks says you’re posting from Naperville, Palos, Tinley, Indiana or some other loser-ass suburb. Yeah, “lifelong Chicagoan.”

Good, well run teams are popular. Bad teams run by a guy who thinks TV keeps him from selling tickets are not. Why is this so hard for people to figure out?

Gee. I wonder why people weren’t interested when the team’s owner more or less told the city to go fuck themselves, didn’t try, and practically hide the team from them? Hmmm....I just wonder why the city wouldn’t be interested? Hmmm...what a BIG mystery?

Fuck you. Old Wirtz nearly killed that team. When I moved there in 1997 it was 10 years until I could see home game on TV. Fuck you twice.

In our defense: the games weren’t on TV for twenty years. Being a lifelong hawks fan is a sign you lived real close to the United Center or were really, really obsessive.

You act like Blackhawk fans should have given unconditional support to an owner who was morally against allowing home games on TV.

Jesus Christ. Stop being a penis and just enjoy the fact that your team is awesome and finally have the fan support previous ownership did their best to snuff out. Cry-asses everywhere.

I’m a little blase since I grew up in the shadow of the Mississippi River in Iowa, but it’ still amazing when you see it—one damn wide river. I recall one time it was flooded where you looked over to the Illinois side and could not see any land. Period. And this was from a view from a cliff in Burlington, so we were…

I prefer to think of him as Johnny Dangerously.

The lovely thing about CA is I can easily and legally get my flowers. Iphone w/loads of R/r. Hopefully I can keep my big mouth shut long enough to get to spend some time with my “special lady friend.” The odds are not in my favor-

We have a game in a week or two, I think. I plan on playing, and I think a couple other Deadspinners will, too. We’ll probably lose but it should be fun.

You showed him.

Well shit. Thanks alot Samer. I don’t know how a person can unsee Tom Thibodeau’s O-face.
