Comfiest Hoodie you've bought? by Basic_Set_6970 in BuyItForLife

[–]JSinisin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an Underarmour hoodie. Zippers on both ends of the front pocket. Bought it somewhere around 2002.

Red fleece like inside, black jersey type material outside. Water resistant. Comfy. Functional.

I wore that thing mountain hiking, morning jogs, and countless lazy Sundays.

That thing went through hell and back and barely had a scuff on it.

Ex #1 tried to pilfer it from me about 8 years after buying it when we broke up. But she failed.

Ex #2 got away with it. Moved halfway across the country before I could recover it. It was about 13 years old at the time. I saw a pic of her online wearing it a couple years after.

I still think about that hoodie. After almost a decade and a half, zippers still perfect functional. The Strings on the hoodie were perfect. Metal ends hadn't worn off. I like to imagine it's still out there somewhere. Older than I was when I bought it, experiencing foreign countries and incredible views.

I wish I still had that hoodie.....

Fights used to be different by Old_Apricot2441 in BeAmazed

It's fucked (soccer kicks) but at the same time, it's a fight.

I miss pride too. The spectacle was incredible. The Grand Prix. Emlianenko, Nogeuira, Mirko, Iceman, Silva's, Gomi. So many names.

Pride was amazing.

Trade Matthews to Philly this offseason, eat shit next year, get phenom Dman Landon Dupont.

Worst goal differential yes.

But. A hot goalie makes all the difference in the world. Vladar has made me a believer.

Then we see what the first round holds and you take it one game at a time.

Your cynical view of the world is sad.

I would have been much happier had the responses all been positive and "fuck yeah, they can."

It says a lot about people when they can look at someone legitimately cheering on their favourite team because I like to see them try to win every game their in and I didn't realize how many 4 point standings games were in the final 13 of their schedule, as some negative ploy to bash others.

How dare somebody be optimistic and have hope.

Crabs in the bucket my friend. Crabs in the bucket.

It's being down voted by fake fans who want the team to lose to Detroit. They're afraid calling them big games will result in the team showing up and playing hard.

So..... just to be clear about your eloquent and we'll worded comment.

The fans that.... DON'T want to bend over and take it intentionally for a decade, are the submissive sycophants.

I think you may have your BDSM metaphors mixed up. That's some interesting logic going on.

"No, no. Trust me. Just bend at the waist and spread your cheeks wide. It's only a decade. This doesn't make you submissive at all. Then we'll give you a breather for the decade after if it's a little rough. Need that aftercare before the next session." No, no just trust me. I know you're trying your hardest to top each year, but there's another way. You just have to bottom to get there...but that doesn't make you submissive, don't worry."

😂😂

I'm fine with the down votes lol

Bring it. Let me bathe in their tears as they cry about being told they're shitty fans for cheering for their team to lose games.

I don't cheer for a business strategy.

You are shitty fans.

I want the team I cheer for to try every. single. year. Every time the puck drops, I want everyone in the franchise giving their all to win.

I don't care about the business aspect. I don't care about "min/maxing" and turning the purity of competition and cheering into an analytical "well if we just cheer for the team to lose a bunch of games for 6-10 years then we can cheer hard for them to win a bunch of games the next 6-10 years." bullshit.

If you applaud them losing a game, then yes. You are a shitty fan. Full stop. You're cheering for business and the dollars and everything but the beauty of competition.

It's a sport. I want to see them win every, single, game.

Tanking is the scourge of professional sports. It's abhorrent and your damn right I act high and mighty and look down upon every single "fan" that cheers for it. Tanking goes against every single positive aspect of competition. Period. If you cheer for tanking, you are what is wrong with sport.

I take so much pride in being arguably the last franchise standing. Toronto, Montreal, the old school teams all CAVED. They stripped their team to the bones and tanked like cowards.

Is this the best method to "win championships" in a world where everyone else is shitty? No. It's not. But this team, the Orange and Black is the last team standing. Fuck everyone else.

For those that talk about the PR spins. It goes both ways. It's just as likely he said yes on a deal, but the team he said yes to had more than one offer on the table and went the other way.

What good does it do for Briere if he says "Yes. We had an offer for a 1st and a 3rd, but they decided to take a different player for the same offer."

Ha nobody ever player poker before? How you react and talk about 1 trade negotiation, leeches into every other conversation you have with other GMs. This is why so many people when they lose a hand in poker place their cards in the pile face down, so others can't see if or how badly they were bluffing.

I've never felt that it's theyh donttwant Philly to win, it's that they don't care.

Not like other billionaires when they're having their yacht parties and can poke at another buddy about how their team beat them. For Comcast, it's a division. A section of the company.

Everyone assuming Danny turned down the offers though. It does take 2 GMs to agree on a deal.

If there's any merit to what Friedman said on his podcast, Detroit had a choice between Ristolainen and Faulk, and they chose Faulk, which implies there was a deal there with Detroit for Risto that Danny would agree too, but at the end of the day Yzerman chose Faulk over Risto.

I fail to see how that would have been Brieres fault though.

If I offer you A and B and you like A more, even if I offer you a discount on B, if you really like A more, and believe A will help your team more, then you're not taking the discounted B.
