    Okay write up on my take on stoopid sports things from the past week.

    Football:
    The Seattle Seahawks SHOULDVE lost the game last Thursday if it wasn't for Greg "The Leg" Zurleiner missing a very easy field goal at by a few inches. Seen HERE The infuriating thing is that the players, coaches, media personalities, and every fucking joe-schmoe who only knew it was the anniversary of Paul Allen's death, attributed the missed field goal to the spirit of Paul Allen. I am a huge Seahawks fan, and it is a very sweet sentiment coming from the players in particular (and Russell Wilson who reportedly had a very close personal relationship with Tall ALlen), however the amount that the story line was beaten again and again made it lose its impact.

    ThE NfL CaReS aBoUt PlAyR SAfeTY There were no penalties on this play. I thought I saw a man die on live TV. He was out before he even hit the ground. Best part of this is the the EMT cart they brought onto the field BROKE, so they made this guy WALK OFF THE FIELD. F A C K

    Washington DC's Racist-ass NFL Team's head coach said in the post-game conference, "We'll see if my keys work on Monday" after another embarrassing loss at home. They did not...

    MLB:
    Playoffs are in full swing, and St. Louis Cardinals Odd-Year Bullshit is going on again. They scored 10 runs in the 1st inning of Game 5. The most in playoff history. They won and play the Nationals in the NLCS. Neither of them will defeat the Astros or Yankees in the World Series so who cares.

    Also never become a Cubs fan...It's a painful existence.

    NBA:
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TAIWAN NUMBAH 1

    This is so good. Also, in terms of averages and sum values, being a Cubs fan is still sweeter than a Mariners.

    First of all, I absolutely love this. The links + your commentary are perfect.

    Fuck me man I didn't even know that's why they were attributing it, I just thought it was cause they coincidentally honored him that night. That makes it even worse TBH.

    I audibly gasped watching this, god DAMN that was a straight K.O. What amazed me was how freaking long it took anyone of authority to get out on the field when they see someone fucking lying on the ground and not moving. What? Where's the medical staff?

    👌

    Saw this one as it relates to Blizzard making similar decisions. These companies are putting their mouth where their money is, we shouldn't be surprised but it's still upsetting.

    Love me some Fantasy Football because it sucks and I hate it but I can shame my manager on Slack because his sportsboys did worse than my sportsboys and no one tells HR.

    Gloating over something completely out of your control is a national pastime.

    HR here. Hard to report you when my boss and I are constantly jabbing at each other because we are fighting this week in fantasy sportsball.
