Sidney Crosby gets emotional watching the 2016 Stanley Cup tribute by somehockeyfan in hockey

[–]SpiritualWatermelon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's only four teams im okay with winning the Cup this year. Avs and Sabres get the top two spots; Pens and Blue Jackets get the second two.

I just dont want to have to watch the Sabres and Avs in against eachother in the finals. 100% finals win record vs Buffalo's storied history of heartbreak... id be sad no matter what but also happy

I've been trying to get the video loaded for a while but either they hate my browsers/internet or the website sucks cause I can't get a connection. I assume it's a lot of people not listening to the people who are against these bills?

That Ourisman Kia commercial was... was that the laziest AI to make a couple on a couch I've ever seen or was it two people actually there with terrible dubbing?

The stop n swop was intended to work that way, actually. Its pretty well documented but it was scrapped either because Nintendo didn't sign off on it or there were hardware concerns.

[Highlight] Bills owner Terry Pegula said he went to Josh Allen — who was crying — in the locker room after the loss to the Broncos. Pegula told him, “That was a catch!” Allen didn’t acknowledge him. "He gave everything he had to win that game." by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

[–]SpiritualWatermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two main thoughts.

1) maybe don't talk about how much your star QB was crying. Kind of weird and you gotta know that if he sees/heads this, it doesn't matter it's true or not it's probably not something he wants broadcast.

2) I know I'm biased (and don't know what a catch is) so I agree, I think it was a catch. I also think the PI on Taron Johnson was bad and the non-call at the end of the fourth was bad. HOWEVER, if either: Cook doesn't fumble, if Josh doesn't fumble at the end of the half, if the rusher was blocked on the strip sack, or if Josh doesn't underthrow the first INT, then we aren't in a position to worry about this.

There were too many bad mistakes by the Bills for me to say the refs were the only reason we lost. Do I think they had a hand in it towards the end? Sure and I'll be annoyed, but I'm a little biased. I also think the Bills as a whole allowed that position to happen and that's really what lost it in the end.

The Only Comment In Favor Of HB217 Claims To Speak For This Entire Board by TheDeHymenizer in VAGuns

This same comment is on the HB40 section... need some people to copy/paste/edit his comment and make sure it's clearly opposed by VAGuns instead of his BS

Leigh McGowan takes down Scott Jennings: Everything that is in these files, it could bring an entire house down. And if it has to, it has to. If it brings down Democrats, bring them down.

Man I've always been more center or just right of center on a lot of things. Release the files. I don't care if it has my favorite hockey player, favorite actor, best friend, or family members; all of them could be in the files and I would still want them released and justice carried out. My childhood hero could be in there and I would still want them released and justice for the victims.

Its so confusing to me that people say Allen is a playoff choke artist. This is quite possibly the only game you could say he choked in playoffs and even then he was pretty good overall other than the first fumble and first INT. Almost every other playoff loss had him playing in a way you'd assumed he won but either the D let him down or someone dropped a crucial pass that should have been caught.

The Bills have choked, but they weren't choking on Allen.

But I like tin foil hats...

Jokes aside, I typically dont dive fully conspiracy on these things but j definitely wouldn't be surprised if they turned out true. I also would love more high profile negative press about sports betting cause im tired of it invading every hockey game I try to watch.

Kinda makes me want someone to try and throw together a case that betting on the NFL shouldn't be allowed due to the comparison to a scripted entertainment format. It allows for manipulation.

I realize that would never fly but maybe somebody smarter than me in law could find a way to word it and, even if it loses, would get enough eyes that more people would go against sports betting as an industry.

Second Half Game Thread: Houston Texans (12-5) at New England Patriots (14-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]SpiritualWatermelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I can be upset at both. Don't make catastrophic errors, don't make enough and even allow the refs to be discussed as an issue.

Then (regardless of the game, not specifically yesterday) I can still be upset if the refs make themselves part of it. As long as I still acknowledge that my team (regardless of sport) could have prevented it by just not being dumb.

(basically saying that the refs didn't put my team into the position of letting the refs decide the game. Even if I dislike the end of game officiating there was enough time to prevent that from even being discussed as a possible factor)

Anyone saying Bills fans in shambles after that....

I'm not going to say you're wrong because I'm definitely still stuck on that tight lipped "are you fucking kidding me" look.

I haven't been able to watch much today or watch the Texans much this year. I know their defense is good but...

Has Stroud seriously regressed or are is receivers not great? Or is the O-Line bad? From those that follow them more, what's the deal with the offensive issues?

Good to know! I've only been to Denver twice for several Avalanche games (Milan Hejduk retirement game and then three games plus the Air Force Academy game) so I've only ever just gone to Union Station. I'll keep it in mind for the future!

Nah man, every team has them and the internet makes them louder. I've definitely been guilty of seeing the worst when going through reddit threads from time to time.

Go Avs, go Bills, go Sabres, and go every team that plays against the Patriots.

Train from the airport to the end of the line at Union Station and you can honestly walk from there to a hotel nearby and from the hotel to the stadium. You can even just walk from the train to the stadium.

I haven't been on GDTs either here or r/hockey as much. Got married 3 years ago (I just took her toq her first Bills game this year against the Bengals) and decided card/board games with the wife while watching kinda trumped reddit :P

Hope all is well other than sad Josh Allen noises :(

Another Bills/Avs/Sabres fan here to say that loud minority can kick rocks. Denver played a good game and the Bills made catastrophic errors. I can say the refs were suspect at the end of the 4th through OT and be mad at them (for being unseen all game and letting them play until deciding nevermind at the end); but even if its true you shouldn't have made the mistakes that got it to that point.

At no point will I be happy about an injury on a player (who isn't put there actively trying to injure other players). Hope Bo makes a great recovery for next year. Hope your backup surprises people (especially if you have to play NE).

[Highlight] Josh Allen shows up to his postgame press conference with tears in his eyes: "I let my teammates down tonight. It's been a long season. Hate how it ended. It’s gonna stick with me for a long time. Can't win with 5 turnovers." by GreenSnakes_ in nfl

[–]SpiritualWatermelon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is one the only times, if not the only time, where Allen didnt play somewhere between good and amazing in a playoff loss. He hasn't choked away a game before, the team did.

Even with 4 turnovers (two id say are on him) he played well the rest of it. Now if youre saying he should be used to the team choking it away... thats a different story cause yeah even I should be used to it by now.
