My three favorite sports are basketball, hockey, and football—baseball not so much except for post season. Given that OKC never had a pro team of its own until the Thunder were bought and then moved from Seattle my favorite pro teams in each sport were… the Philadelphia 76’ers in the NBA, the Boston Bruins in the NHL, the Green Bay Packers in the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Pirates in MLB.
My favorite player of all-time in each sport is Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics, Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins, Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions, and Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates. These are my four favorite players of all-time.
My Bruins are currently the No. 7 seed in the East with a mark of 35-26-6
There was a bit of fight last night involving Evengi Malkin of the Pens and Blake Wheeler of the Jets. Even though hockey is a game of immense skill with skating, stick handling, passing, shooting, and checking—there’s just something refreshing that when you’ve had enough of some guy’s bullshit you can fight, sit for a few minutes and then come back and play.
This wasn’t really a great fight as some have said it was, but Wheeler got Malkin down rather easily and neither guy suffered all that much as far as I can see.
The NBA should allow fighting because if they did so Draymond Green’s bullshit where he kicks other men between the legs would come to an abrupt halt the first and last time he pulled that bullshit again.
Same with politics, wouldn’t it be refreshing to see Schumer and McConnell just drop the gloves and quick all this pretense around the edges. See what you got so to speak, put the nonsense to the side and see what you got. Same with Trump and Ted Cruz, drop ’em and see what these two dildos can do.
Anyway, that’s all I have today as I need an escape day from Donald Trump. Of course, Saturday is usually Caligula Lite’s big tweet day and who could possibly know what awaits us. Who could know? Maybe FDR was a Russian spy?
None of this would happen in the NHL. Green’s ass would have already been whipped and he’d be just another player in the league, albeit a talented one on a loaded team.
Tie Domi is my favorite hockey fighter of all-time. Domi was a player of not much size and limited skill, but the guy could score some junk goals and fight. He never backed down from anybody regardless of the size disparity. We need some of this in Washington D.C. just to clear the air maybe so these guys could come to terms with themselves and get some things ever so often.
