    okay G A M E R S are you ready for another awful thread about sports? Well... I mean okay. [Authors Note: I am publishing this a day after I wrote the bulk of it, so Some of the other stuff that happened this weekend will be on my next post]

    As I sit here at my computer with a million college football games on in the background, I am reminded about how crazy college football can get. Maybe it's the frat boys, the passion for the game everyone has, the pageantry, or maybe just the absolute fuckin bafoonery shown on free television every week. Mind you everything I link in this thread has been captured in the last week(ish).

    Look, sometimes it's the little things like a floating pylon cause the rain is so heavy and the university refuses to refurbish the stadium, to big immaculate plays that show why football is better than basketball in every single way. And I think that college football in particular has a flair for the ridiculous. It's not just the players on the field either. It's the production around it. "College Gameday" is a travelling show on ESPN that goes to the "best game of the week" and is the pre-show for the day. The posters of the people in the background alone makes it worth it, but sometimes the guests on the show get radical. Former NFL punter turned WWE announcer showed up today and cut a wrestling style promo on another analyst on the panel, much to the crowds joy. That being said, the signs are often the best part.

    Onto the NBA....okay that's enough.

    Lastly, who ever said that rowing isn't a hard sport, or one that "real men" don't play, simply was not present at the Head of the Charles race in Boston this past weekend.

    Okay thanks for wasting some time reading my words and clicking my links. I gotta go, my Uber here...

    God this is so great, college football seems like all the fun of football without all the seriousness of the NFL. Especially what you were telling us about the WSU coach - what a hoot. Also surprised the Oklahoma Sooner Wagon tipping over didn't make the cut this week (though maybe that should have been in last week).

    Regarding your first NBA video, I've heard this heralded as the new confused Travolta meme

    I didn't post the Sooner Schooner (real name) tipping over because they lost in a huge upset this past weekend and 1) I am very sad about it and 2) I was waiting for someone to edit "Playoff Hopes" onto the falling over wagon. I need to learn how to make gifs

    Saw this line on the bowling rink TV and thought it was just a good one in general:

    Asked Monday if he expected to be the Falcons' coach for the remainder of the season, Quinn responded, "Well, I can honestly say all the time and all the attention I have, I couldn't think of a bigger waste of my mental health and space ... all I want to do is see if we can get it right.

    Source, although I know nothing about the context

    Computer (@KiwiMudCorolla), please find me the image of a guy with a paper bag on his head that says "tanking 2019" from the Dolphins v Steelers game this week.

    And also explain the paper bag thing please and thank you

    Please state the nature of your comedic emergency.

    "Tanking", in this context, refers to the original use of the colloquialism, as a verb, to dramatically decrease in value or investment in a short period of time.

    In reference to professional sports of 2019, specific teams (notably the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets) have had record-breaking bad seasons ("tanking"). Their fans have taken to wearing bags on their heads as a way of publicly shaming their respective teams, as if to imply they no longer wish to be associated with them.

    EDIT: Sorry @KiwiMudCorolla, I saw an opportunity to explain the joke, and it just came out. Like a reflex.
