OT: 59th Obsequious Banter Thread: (Giroux + Simmonds + Couturier + Voracek + Patrick + Sanheim) ÷ Gudas

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I dont understand how espn hasn't made massive changes at this point. The ship is sinking, your delaying the inevitable, make massive changes to your content,your presentation, your web presence and change gears.

They did what Disney always does - chased the dollar bills and quality, nuance, etc. be damned. They were the Little Engine That Could, but like every single maverick before them which was swallowed by a gigantosaurus, they turned totally corporate and became insufferable. There isn't really anything they can change now - they are ruined and need to go away.

The fact that all they do is talk about LeBron James and the NBA or tell you a story that makes you openly weep, has made it unwatchable for me.

Also, that 6 o clock SportSCenter is one of the worst television program.

i rather watch the 4 AM infomercials about for how you can grow your appendage's size for a measly 24.99 a month.

I can't wait until the 9th movie when zombie Darth Vader kills Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith with a force choke.

It’s like a variety show with sports. No one wants to watch that type of shit.

watched the first 3 episodes of Stranger Things. Pretty good so far. even with the terrible acting of Sean Astin

 

[Sombastate]

I watched the first 15 minutes of it and absolutely HATED it.

It was literally the same thing as season 1. I was blown away by how formulaic that show has become.

And then i realized i just restarted season 1

Just watched Episode 1. So far so good.

Does anyone know how to listen to 97.5 the Fanatic on the phone?

I've got the app but it streams via the internet and it blacks out Sixers games. Does WIP do the same for Eagles games?

Oh man I have been watching it today because my girlfriend thought it was a good idea. About 50% of the time I was only thinking about Astin. "Wait, I know him. I dont remember who he is, but I know him - and I remember I hated him"


Also, finished Westworld season 1 yesterday. I loved the ending

my wife and I both had the same reaction when we saw Astin
saw Westworld when we had the free HBO for a couple of months. I agree. great ending

How can you not like Samwise Gamgee?

Were any of you at the King Edward Hotel Saturday for the game against the Leafs? On my way out of my meeting, I ran into a father and son with Flyers jerseys and talked briefly with them. Son looked to be about 18.

I flew out of Billy Bishop Airport, and Ken Dryden was on my (small) flight. I got a chance to talk with him and snap a photo.

Hope you didn't mention you were a Flyers fan

Funny that didn't come up.

 

[Lindberg]

Two more flights until I’m home but I was sick almost the entire time for this work trip. Just awful.

This is the question I had too, Bern. Also, his mom was a fantastically nice person who was great on the best gameshow ever: Password.

Nope. It works just fine. I stream Merrill and Mike for every game.

 

[Amorgus]

Sean Astin's character on Stranger Things is supposed to be a geeky tool, which is the type of role he's always excelled at. I can definitely relate to having to deal with my mom dating guys when I was a kid and the awkwardness that comes with it.

Yeah he is playing that role fine

How can you watch Sean Astin and not see anything other than Rudy?

No one has ever said “I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Rudy.”

 

[Hurricane28]

Or the Goonies

BTW it's a very guilty pleasure when your friend invites you over to watch football on his brand new 65 inch 4K TV and your team crushes his. So much for the Raiders being the season's Brady Slayers.
