To add insult to injury I can't grow a beard to save my life.
So I change up my glasses frame every so often. Shaved the small goatee too.
Well the NFL draft's first round is tonight, and that goes on ESPN. That means that the NHL and NBA have to work around the unavailability of the main ESPN network. so the NHL only scheduled 2 games, and the NBA only scheduled 3. NHL games on ESPN2 and TBS, and the NBA games on TNT (x2) and NBA TV, so the NBA almost makes out worse out of that since they have to shift a playoff game to a specialty channel.
Just shows the power of the NFL that even their draft kicks both the NBA and NHL down a peg, even though it is the playoffs for both of those leagues.
It's fine for my sanity since that means the unless there's OT the NHL games will be over by 8:30pm local for me, I should make sure my wife knows I'm still alive.
I think mostly they were laying it on a bit, yep.
I guess Mt Hopeless is rather bleak, but also it's more of a hillock.
The Seattle Kraken are leaving ROOT Sports as their regional TV provider. Starting next year, regional Kraken games will stream on Amazon Prime Video, for Prime customers. The team is looking at OTA options for certain markets, but it looks like the primary way to watch regional Kraken games will be on Prime Video.
And the NHL and Rogers announced their own deal with Prime video. For the next two years, covering the last two years of the Rogers national TV deal in Canada, the national Monday Night Hockey games have been sublicensed to Amazon Prime Video. So Sportsnet used to air a nationally televised game every monday, that game will now be on Prime Video, produced by Amazon. It's been well documented that the Monday Night Hockey game on Sportsnet has been a lower rated money loser for Sportsnet, so this is an attempt for Rogers/Sportsnet to save some money. Also a test case for the future TV rights deal, since that comes up in a couple years.
Teams are looking at their own broadcast providers, and leagues are looking at regional coverage to go along with their big channels. Well, bigger channels, NBA.tv, etc.

Some interesting OTAs. Red Hulk getting a small nerf without killing him outright. Stature back to her old self. USAgent getting a small buff as well (a theoretical 2/7 on one target). Mantis and Jean Grey are nice buffs but probably still won't see play.

Here’s hoping the red hulk madness dies down a bit now
Edit: okay their write up on mantis is hilarious. Have to be conservative with buffing mantis because it might be annoying against an enemy venom? Really? We’re worried about hurting venom too much??
the rest of the changes are inconsequential.
fuckin' game gear
Because Brennan is a sneaky bastard, I can't help but to think that the teacher evaluation thing will somehow bite them in the ass later, as part of a geas or ritual or something.
Also, I love the Legend Lore gag, as the more snide academic sibling of Identify, and the whole burn of Kipperlilly (not Legendary) and casting it as Riz (a footnote in a larger entry of something Legendary, citation needed).

The Mariners took over full ownership of ROOT from Warner Bros. Discovery at the beginning of 2024. Not that it won't happen, but I'd be surprised if it was going under since the Mariners just took it over. More likely that the baseball team just isn't interested paying a rights fee to the hockey team.
Or maybe Mariners are just keeping their options open to shut down ROOT after this baseball season.

Sam Reich was in live chat and confirmed that Grant didn't actually drop the n-bomb. But the cut was still hilarious.
Speaking which, the logical connections that led to Spider-Man using all of the racial slurs was just very absurd. I also love "Shego's my wife. She drove me.".
Garfield is an anti-capitalist king. Also, the Dole corp stuff... it's not a Dropout show without an anti-capitalist message.
The end of Vic's ended up looking like a Pepe Silvia board.
Sam also confirmed that they filmed several episodes in a row for each group of talent.
Also, in two weeks, the guest presenter list is:
JACOB WYSOCKI

Oh really! I hadn't heard about that. Yeah, you're probably right. I wonder what teams they will bother to show... Soccer teams? I can't imagine they'd bother with the Blazers. I also can't imagine a channel dedicated to nothing but the Mariners 365 days a year...
Dunno, but I had assumed from the trailer this was gonna be one of those improv gags reacting to slides blindly in the moment. Much prefer this semi-scripted style. I guess I miss scripted CollegeHumor skits, and this is at least a very tentative step back towards scripted comedy. And I love it.
It also helps that all three of the first presentations landed. Very happy to add this show to my rotation.
I mean, it’s probably just Rehka’s intros and outros. Most of those bumps employ a writer, no matter how small.

OK, this was a funny win. On T2, my opponent played Cable, stealing my Doc Ock. Then they played Loki on T5. On the last turn of the game, they played in order: Yondu left, Red Hulk mid, and Cable + Baron Zemo right.
When Zemo flipped, he pulls nothing from my deck, because the Cable prior took my Red Hulk first! So that's your daily reminder that order matters.

In theory by that point, you'd be getting the strongest of their 3 remaining cards, which statistically should be pretty good. I've done it before, but only after using Yondu a turn or two early to help me get a baseline feel for where their deck is at.

I've done this too - it depends on what other cards you've already played to thin out their deck, but a final turn Yondu/Zemo combo can lead to some amazing wins. And losses! That time I pulled Destroyer was a highlight for everyone involved.
it is working fairly well, tech cards and stealing people's annihilus and playing it back at them turn 6 is never not funny.
