OT: The OT Thread

[mathonwy]

My Uncle Sandy, Arizonian, Republican, stalwart Christian, anti-vaxxer, has been hospitalized with COVID. According to an email my sister received from my aunt today, I judge his chances of survival at around 2%. He's not doing well. I still love the guy.

This news is forcing me to reevaluate the things I say about people who don't follow medical guidelines and who die from COVID.

Don Cherry wrote in one of his books that Uncle Sandy was one of the "toughest sons of bitches" he ever played against. When I played hockey, I tried to be like him.

Damn yo.

So sorry you are going through that.

I hope for a passing that is fast and pain free.

You missed the best thing to happen to this franchise in 10 years.

I don’t come on HFB often anymore but wanted to see if this was a topic for you guys. Not sure if it’s not allowed because the nature of it. Either way, please give this guy a warm Canadian welcome. The irony here is he needs vaccine proof to go back to his country.

Shapo beat Zverev in the Aussie Open. This should be bigger news but tennis remains a backwater in Canada mainstream news.

It doesn't get any easier, he's playing Nadal in the QF. Two lefties playing each other should be interesting.

Faulk is a pretty dim bulb

Bombshell report on “off-ice misconduct” being a cultural norm in the CHL. CHL panel finds ‘unspoken code of silence’ enables misconduct off the ice | Globalnews.ca

“Maltreatment that, outside of hockey, would not be acceptable has become an embedded behaviour in this hierarchal organization and the level of acceptance is too high,” the report’s authors wrote.​

What a hilarious game. Rams win it with a last minute field goal.

Thanks for this. I've taken a more relaxed approach myself as I didn't think someone's vaccination status affected me very much. I was always kind of bothered by the level of hatred (or ruthlessness) some people had when it comes to the unvaccinated but I get it. I just hope that those who are like that are not hypocrites. If you say "trust in science" and you have kids 5 years or older you should get them vaccinated. There's no excuse.

Personally, I have a lot more time for those who are unvaccinated but doing everything they can to stay safe than those who are vaccinated but don't care about masks. The former I am just worried about them because I think they are risking their lives, the latter I think are just selfish and jerks.

Thanks.

We haven't heard anything in two days. Don't know if that's good or bad news.

Yeah. Happy for Stafford. I mean Kupp fumbled and Ackers did twice. And the bad snap. but they would have hung a lot of the blame on stafford.

Rams D played great and their O was wanting to give the game away.

Literally thought history was repeating itself when they tied it. But Rams had 1 TO and 47 seconds on the clock. Not sure what Bucks defense was doing not double covering on Cupp.

Even sent the CB who was lined up against Kupp on a corner blitz instead. Left the S all alone on him. Looks good on Winfield as he got that taunting call in the SB holding up the 2 fingers on Hill at the end of the game.

Brady played poorly. Figured that they were in tough with Wirfs out and Miller across from him. Not having Godwin and Brown showed today. Was up to Miller and Johnson to step up. And with poor pass protection they couldn’t use Gronk in the pass game as much as they needed him to help block . Same with fournette.

I’m just happy Aaron Rodgers is golfing early. Also glad that John Stockton never won a NBA championship.

Ding Dong Brady's Gone!

Hopefully forever.

I hate the NFL OT rules but what a game

 

[Bures Elbow]

Best football game I’ve ever seen. 25 points in the last 2 minutes.

Not sure either defence could make a stop at that point. If they keep going and going the rules would have to be every TD requires a 2 point conversion.

Man it must really suck to be a Bills fan. But at least they have a solid future.

Zverev has bottled the slams. Really should have least one by now.
