After the season ended, and the playoffs were set, I told my friends (we’re all Minnesota fans) “Too bad a good season has to end in getting swept by the Yankees again.” They called me a doubter and a scrooge. I just shrugged. It was inevitable.

It’s just so... *kisses finger tips*

+1 Guild of Calamitous Intent

To be fair, that’s the standard Minnesota greeting for anyone who is not a blood relative or life-long friend.

This is the most Zlatan Ibrahimovic headline ever.

Counterpoint: This is the worst possible outcome of the entire playoffs. I hate the Blues personally and I hate the Bruins because I am an American sports fan outside of New England. 

I’m going to mentally ret-con what happened last night and choose to believe this is what happened. I’m already a happier person for it!

The Blues are the anti-Wild. Start off awful, suddenly get red hot, and steal a road win in round 1 from the Jets. At least they both fired Yeo midseason.

It is sort of a pessimists club, isn’t it?

I don’t blame you, Duluth has charm. It’s got a good sized “hipster” population now. Say what you will about their fashion, but they do bring in interesting breweries and restaurants.

I’m honestly surprised anyone outside of a 10 mile radius of the town itself has heard of Cloquet. Unless you are within that 10 mile radius. 

Here’s a thought: Rather than doing an entire game of half-assed tackle football, why don’t they make it a big game of flag football? Low likelihood of injury and it encourages stupid plays like this. The best parts of the Pro Bowl are the plays where you can tell it’s a bunch of guys having fun playing school-yard…

“Hot take: Fuck the Saints, and Sean Peyton. I’m glad they got screwed and look forward to all future screwings. Drew Brees seems nice though.”

I once took myself on a movie date. It was a Tuesday night and there was a special at my favorite burger place. Had 3 beers and a delicious burger (and as a man, no one but the bartender even acknowledged my existence which is well and good and I pity the ladies who have to suffer strangers), had another 2 beers in…
