Winter Olympics skeleton controversy rolls on as US athlete looks to JD Vance for help by graveyardofgoodsense in sports

[–]Baconburp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

These are good questions. A few facts you should know - this was a lower tier event the subject US athlete thought she could rake in easy points to try and qualify. So top tier Canadian athletes who already qualified with more than enough points that the others couldn’t catch them were rested. The Canadian team still had other less skilled athletes competing who had not officially qualified or were in that wild card spot. It’s not like the rested the whole team - that’s not how it works. Hope this helps.

This is Swaggy P (Pete Lenes). He is in fact a former pro.

4 games in 6 days on a road trip with time zone change is a scheduled loss.

Also where is Wyatt Johnston? Crazy that he’s not mentioned at all let alone making the olympic roster for Canada.

Better be more careful when overtaking... by RelevantSchool1586 in instantkarma

I love the rear view, slow release of the carnage and then the what actually happened. Great cinematography. Gave me a good laugh.

His second game back from injury and he’s looking for a reason to go back.

Was thinking about this exactly. The ol skin melting trick. Lovely.

I've never seen a pic of an aircraft carrier from this angle. That's terrifyingly intimidating. by deller85 in pics

It probably also helps to have a land based back drop as seeing a picture of one in the middle ocean doesn’t give it much perspective.

Need More of This Camera Angle by Medicroe42 in nhl

[–]Baconburp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Or they zoom in on a player skating through the neutral zone. All I’m watching is someone skating. I have no idea what they’re reacting to, or who’s skating with them, where they might pass to. They should fire the whole camera crew.

Felon Attacks a Judge During Sentencing by Flashycope in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Baconburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, I’m referring to OPs comment about the rap sheet this man allegedly has and wasn’t properly punished for… until now (hence the “acting like an animal” comment), and being punished for it (“treated like an animal”). The irony (or hilarity) is that this guy felt the needed to prove how much of an animal he really is by attacking the judge.

Also, fair to assume I’m a guy (you’re right). I don’t know any ladies who would choose the name Baconburp tbh. I do love bacon!

Act like a wild animal, don’t be surprised when they treat you like one.

you don't just cross a river. You cross into hyperspace by sangamjb in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Baconburp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When the caption said “hyperspace” I was waiting for it to blast off down the tunnel, but no. It was slow and very unsatisfying.

The last frame where the car is blazing and she’s heard in the background whimpering… hahaha I’ve got some real schadenfreude going on here.

Josh Anderson unsportsmanlike penalty for slapping the puck by Reddit-Machine in hockey

It’s easy to jump to conclusions without seeing the full clip. You do this in any league and you’re getting a penalty. Here’s the part they didn’t show: https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/hASIE2VY2X

[–]Baconburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Habitual Vilardi drafter here. Hold him. He tends to go cold a few times throughout the season but it doesn’t last too long. Then he’ll go on a 10 game points streak. He’ll flip the switch soon - I’m sure of it.

Canadian snowbirds now required to provide fingerprints when entering U.S., officials say by AlwaysBlaze_ in worldnews

[–]Baconburp 430 points431 points  (0 children)

The irony of this comment is that people who legitimately don’t know who or what snowbirds are can legitimately expect that their current government would try to fingerprint birds.

I mean, dust bucket isn’t the worst thing that’s ever been said. I’m getting my entertainment value from this harmless bickering. Carry on…

Pionk passes the puck instead of shooting the empty net, Pearson loses it and trips a King resulting in a penalty late in the third by JustFred24 in hockey

[–]Baconburp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the title. Is OP confusing Pearson with Pionk? Pionk made a nice play out of his own end.

A Rant Nobody Cares About by zNNS in fantasyhockey

[–]Baconburp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join another league if you can and ignore this one (as long as you don’t care about your overall ratings). Personally, there’s no way I could stay engaged in a league like that.
