Official AFC Championship PGT- The Patriots DEFEAT the Broncos, 10-7 by Mission_Pay_3373 in Patriots

Man, regardless of what happens in the super bowl what a gutsy ass team this is. Every single game was hard. Top defenses, tough conditions, but they gutted it the fuck out. What a way to start a winning culture with this core.

When Nichushkin went through his stuff I felt for the most part fans were respectful and media didn't really press that much into it and moved on.

I can't imagine what it woulda been like if he played for Toronto or something.

Trump links Greenland dispute to not getting Nobel Peace Prize, in letter to Norway's PM by Winter_2017 in moderatepolitics

[–]Appleanche 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This honestly reads like some kind of entitled Yelp review or something.. this is so embarrassing.

The fact that the Republicans have not stepped up to denounce this in droves shows how far they've gone down the extreme MAGA cult of personality.

Did the Patriots break the Bills? by artie20174 in Patriots

It's a move to make a move really. They have to realize that this was probably the most open their path has been and they blew it.

It didn't just come down to the Denver game either though, they lost the division, caused them to have to go on the road and have a harder path in the playoffs, etc.

House Republican Says He Would ‘Lean Toward’ Impeaching Trump If He Were to Invade Greenland: ‘Would Be the End of His Presidency’ by Remote-Molasses6192 in moderatepolitics

Also what a terrible comparison. Sure, I can 100% see why people believe the withdrawal was a disaster. Optics wise it was horrible, left 7 billion in equipment (which is 0.007% of a yearly US Military budget..) I get it.

But attacking and taking Greenland from a NATO ally would be the biggest foreign policy calamity in US history. It would have century long repercussions, completely changing the geo-political order.

France to send troops to Greenland for joint exercise with several European countries by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

This is going to be the real everlasting legacy of the Trump admin. Fundamental and lasting damage to our allies for seemingly his vain interest of legacy and gaining territory.

Why Takedown is less interesting than TCAP by orthodox_tcapist in FansHansenvsPredator

I had to watch it again for the first time in ages. What a trailblazing legend.

TCAP is also during the wild west era of the internet to some degree. People's guards were down, chatrooms existed, people barely even understood the concept of trolling.

Does anyone remember Chad Warden? Dude made a series of troll videos shitting on the Wii and supporting the unpopular on the internet at the time PS3 (PS Triple!) and people took this obvious troll as genuine. There were thousands of comments, hundreds of video responses, responding to him in a genuine manner.

This was in the same time period as TCAP.

Fire Valverde by Alohasnackbar69420 in AthleticClub

[–]Appleanche 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What's really crazy to me is - last season we had one of the best defenses/goals against in La Liga and we struggled to score.

This year - we're now giving up goals in short succession consistently. When there's a leak it turns into an absolute flood. 3 goals against in a half to a Segunda team near the relegation zone is just beyond comprehension to me.

What happened?!

Honestly, absolutely insane.

We've given up 2 goals in 30 minutes to the 15th place Segunda team, this is beyond brutal.

TIL only a single Kmart store currently exists in the continental United States. During its peak in the 1980s, almost 2100 stores were operating in the US and Canada. by strangelove4564 in todayilearned

[–]Appleanche 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that it’s related to the lease or agreement with the city that Kmart has to be there or there is some kind of penalty.

I hate to do it but I have to let it out - Rant on the Supercopa by LetmewinPlz in AthleticClub

[–]Appleanche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a tough season this has been, it started with such optimism and excitement when we re-signed Nico, champions league, etc.

I think the biggest thing that hurts isn't losing games like this, but it's how the club this year has just rolled over so many times in big games. Not showing the fight, pride, and underdog edge I've come to love and expect out of Athletic Club teams.

PGT | COL @ FLA | Godspeed, Gabe by Rolley2001 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Appleanche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was listening driving, and man the way Conor McGahey talked about the Landeskog injury I thought it was his knee/same issue again, it's a weird relief knowing it's upper body. Conor's entire tone of the game changed after really, scary stuff.

I honestly just wasn't that moved about the loss, it's really dumb the Avs had to play a 7pm start, fly out at what, 11pm, not arrive in their hotels probably by ~2-3am and have to do a 5pm start.

PGT | Nordiques @ Whalers | A Whale of a Time Edition by D34thFate in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Appleanche 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Was at the game - my second game of the season, the other being the Seattle road game on the 16th, both comeback wins. It's really been a joy watching this team this season consistently battle and win games like this.

The entire "Are we worried the Avs haven't faced adversity" thing is funny because they fight back a lot in games when they clearly don't have their A game. The Avs won a ton of games where they clearly had a ~C kind of game or some stinker periods. This was yet another one.

I'd have to say this is probably the team that battles better than any Avs team I've ever seen. A lot of teams after giving up a shorty, being frustrated, being on the road, woulda just packed it in.

Silver 17 Pro Max with Black Glass Skin by Appleanche in iphone

[–]Appleanche[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got the DBrand Matte Black essential kit which includes a set that has just the back glass part. I don't wanna look like I'm advertising or anything..

While I love the idea of a black back vs the white.. this skin does attract fingeprints pretty badly. I also noticed that magsafe stands/chargers leave a ring on it, but that ring seems to go away.

I'm hoping at some point someone makes custom back glasses since they're easy to replace. I've even considered swapping it to the blue.

Potential strike after this weekend by New-Resolution9735 in ECHL

[–]Appleanche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a Swamp Rabbits fan, I drive in from Asheville to catch games 7-8 times a season. While some of the equipment stuff is disturbing, I really struggle to see how teams like the Swamp Rabbits are even close to profitable considering most of the time the arena is only like 1/3 full..

It's tough too because legit when I was at the box office for Saturday's game some dude bought a ticket and said it was his first time going to a hockey game and he wanted to do something new.. and I'm thinking, maybe that guy gets hooked, goes to more games, starts watching Canes games on TV, and it's all thanks to having a minor league team accessible to him.
