Piggly Wiggly

The Caps had 121 points in 2010... where'd that get you? Oh yeah, a 1st round exit courtesy of the Habs. I'm not worried about the Habs at all... they lost their best player early in the year. They'll more than likely be back in the postseason next year if Price stays healthy. And why aren't you making fun of the Rangers? Because they've eliminated the Caps 2/3 past years? lol. At least you can look forward to the Caps raising more of these banners...

I don't really give a shit lol. Caps haven't advanced to the ECF since 1998. Habs have done so twice since 2010.... and one was with a god awful 88-point team. Flyers in 7.

Now you're just talking about playing golf in general, not just hitting a golf ball. Yeah, I'd say playing golf is a lot more difficult than playing baseball, but if we're talking about making contact, it's a lot harder to hit a 98 mph fastball than hitting a ball off a tee.

Hitting a golf ball is a lot easier than hitting a baseball, at least in my experience.

What do the Habs have to do with it? lol. I'm a Rangers fan too fwiw... the team that's knocked the Caps out of the playoffs 2 of the last 3 seasons. I'm not even that invested in hockey that much anymore. srs, I barely get around to watching the games. I was a much bigger fan of hockey when both the Habs and Rangers were much worse.

Caps are not gonna have an easy time in the 1st round regardless. All the teams they could potentially play (Isles, Bruins, Flyers, Wings) are more than capable of knocking them out. But really, anyone can beat anyone. Nowadays, there really isn't a big disparity between the 1 seed and 8 seed.

First you were saying there's often too many fluky runs in the NCAAT and now you're claiming there's a lack of parity? What is it, dude? LOL. And Syracuse's road to the Final Four was a complete anomaly. You're trying to make it sound like any low seed that reaches the Final Four, usually gets by without playing a high seed. 7 seed 2014 UCONN played a 10 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, 4 seed to get to the Final Four and beat a 1 seed and 2 seed to win it all.

Because fluky runs and teams getting hot at the right time doesn't exist in other postseasons? lmao Look at SB 46. You had the 9-7 Giants that looked like dog shit for most of the year beat a Patriots team that had the worst defense of all time. Giants and Pats were far from being the top two teams that season. And it wasn't that long ago that the 8th seed 2012 Kings won the Cup. I tell you what, the NCAA tourney has LESS fluke championship runs than other sports. The champion is almost always one of the elite teams that season. Let's look back... 2015: Duke (35-4), 1 seed 2014: UCONN (32-8), 7 seed 2013: Louisville (35-5), 1 seed 2012: Kentucky (38-2), 1 seed 2011: UCONN (32-9), 3 seed 2010: Duke (35-5), 1 seed 2009: UNC (33-4), 1 seed 2008: Kansas (37-3), 1 seed 2007: Florida (35-5), 1 seed 2006: Florida (33-6), 3 seed 2005: UNC (33-4), 1 seed 2004: UCONN (33-6), 2 seed 2003: Syracuse (30-5), 3 seed 2002: Maryland (32-4), 1 seed 2001: Duke (35-4), 1 seed 2000: Michigan State (32-7), 1 seed Outside of 2014 UCONN (and they didn't even have double digit losses) and borderline 2011 UCONN, one of the top dogs wins the tourney, year in and year out. Who gives a shit that Syracuse made it to the Final Four? 3/4 teams are elite and each held the #1 ranking at some point.

How so?

NFL playoffs? I mean the games are pretty hit and miss now. Not what it used to be. But still my 2nd favorite postseason behind the NCAAs. NHL playoffs? It gets really watered down and dragged out lasting 2 entire months. I mean sure there's some great series, but there's also a handful of series that are shitty and end in a sweep or 5 games. Same shit goes for the NBA, except the NBA is awful in general to begin with and I can't be bothered with tuning into a game until it's the Finals. MLB playoffs? Actually, the MLB playoffs have been decently entertaining to me in recent memory despite the fact that baseball is way low on the totem pole for me. MLB does have a nice playoff structure (minus dumb play-in games) with it only lasting about a month.

I guess I already clinched the TGP pool? If Oklahoma wins the Natty, I'll win my money pool which should be between $700-800. Best worst case scenario, I still come in the top 3 for a money spot, and I get to see my favorite team (UNC) win a National Championship. Overall, this maybe the best tournament I've seen. No other postseason comes close to the NCAAT. NFL, NHL, NBA, etc none compare to college hoops in March.

Gotta say, sports betting has definitely desensitized me a good bit. Don't really root for my favorite teams like I used to, and sports games in general don't really have as much meaning to me if I don't have action on it.

Only people that need it are the ones that had MSU as their National Champion. Or if you somehow couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with most of your picks. I've been doing a bracket every year since 2007 and this is easily the best start I've had through 2 days. Even better than when I won my $600 pool in 2009.

I like it.

Probably not the best thing to take that report with more than a grain of salt. Ben Volin is the Pats' shittiest and laziest beat writer out there. Jeff Howe, a Pats beat guy for the Herald, has ripped him to shreds multiple times.

Republican field is 5/1 to beat Trump in the Florida primary.

So what if he didn't do well in the polls on a night in early March? Who gives a shit? Can't say he's really too worried when he's going out to have dinner with Bill Belichick on a Saturday night. Why do all Trump haters automatically assume that if you show support towards Trump, you're just basically trolling? Why would I not like Trump? I'm not a libtard or someone that supports illegal immigrants, so Trump doesn't give me a sore vagina like he does with some Americans.

Ya'll mad?

3-2? So what? Caps were 3-1 through the first 4 games of the semifinals against the Rangers last year, and we all know how that series turned out. And not to mention, Caps went up 2-0 against the Rangers in the '13 playoffs and 3-1 against the Habs in the '10 playoffs, losing both series in the end. I was moreso just poking fun at the Caps for not being able to register a point against Antti Raanta and Mike Condon behind a really bad Canadiens team on home ice.

Caps are 0-2 in the past two weeks against teams named the Canadiens and Rangers with backup goaltenders. At home, to boot. Do ya'll even have the balls to make it to the ECF? Never mind the SCF...

Christie deeply contemplating which fast food drive-thru to hit up....

People really getting shook hard to their core with how much Trump is whooping ass.
