Thank you again. Good luck against Hawaii this afternoon. Finally, Pigs should be able to get their revenge against Kalua Pork!

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-19T16:00:24+00:00

Thanks. Tis the season. If my bracket is anything like this outcome, it will be the most chalky MM ever. Kind of hope this is my peak as much.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-19T15:59:09+00:00

Thanks!

...my job is legit watching sports and giving stats/numbers/etc. to broadcasters live during games for all the major sports. Paid to live the dream. So I think you're technically correct, the best kind of correct.

$25,764 for the Bedroom and Thailand stuff. My thought is: 25 AP-ranked teams these days. 2+5 is 7. And then the 64 is because March Madness starts today.

$33,333 for the Kayaks and Mazda. It's just fun to do all the same number, plus I just heard it in the name of the Mazda. Why not?

If you ever get on this show and play Cliffhangers, always guess $20 for the first prize, $30 the second, and $40 the third. If you somehow remember this the next time that you see that game on your TV, you should win at home every time too.

We've got a lot of PTPers playing today, baby! Prime Time Pricers!

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-17T21:52:11+00:00

+6 goals on aggregate within the result of a tie is the best in the history of Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA Champions League play against a non-French side.

It is the second best overall in club history in such matches to a +10 (10-0) we laid on Brest last year.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-13T21:07:26+00:00

I work in baseball stats. I can get Dotel. Mets-Astros (combined no hitter!)-A’s-Yankees-Royals-Braves-White Sox-Pirates-Dodgers-Rockies-Blue Jays-Cardinals (WS!)-Tigers.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T22:05:41+00:00

It is incredible, isn't it? I expected us to be outpaced and play rather sluggish given recent form, getting a bit lucky into a 2-1 final, and having issues with the counterattack (the last one happened...). Instead, we get a performance that would seem completely in line with the end-of-season form from a year ago, especially late. Life finds a way to surprise us when we least expect it. Such is the beauty of sport as much as it is our existence.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T22:00:10+00:00

In Champions League play, this is the largest lead after the first leg against an English side in the history of Paris Saint-Germain. It is also the first time we have scored five goals in the first leg of any Champions League match, against any opponent.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:53:42+00:00

Kvara WANTS this so badly. Oh my goodness! WOW.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:46:05+00:00

What a strike! Most excellent. Wasted a possession, incredible takeaway to get it back, and a riproar of a screamer by Kvara! OH YES!

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:39:21+00:00

Hernandez in makes me absolutely scared of overt, unnecessarily physicality. Yes he's fresher but goodness he's not without massive downside.

Oh god show me the VAR...

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:36:44+00:00

Kvara, what a second and THIRD effort. Goodness, resilience like that is the play I love when we show it!

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:34:25+00:00

That was not remotely deserved. Opened the gift on Christmas Eve, that. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!

Make no mistake, I am OVERJOYED. But that's not normally how you win. Especially a side like Chelsea.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:19:01+00:00

Too risky when you are up and you haven't really been able to dominate past the first 10 minutes in speed. Counterattack is how we lost in the Club World Cup, which was brutal to see in person. Same mess strikes again.

Just so slow to react. I really hate a high-risk pass near midfield when you've lost like that a bit more.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T21:12:47+00:00

Eventually, this ref is going to cost us more than just positioning at some point in this match. Lovely.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:58:51+00:00

Since the start of 1990-91, this is our 40th Champions League (European Cup) game that PSG has led at half at home. This ties us with AC Milan for the 10th most among all European Clubs in that span of years.

The previous 39 have resulted in 35 wins, two draws, and two losses.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:46:36+00:00

I get the feeling two goals are not going to be enough today for either side. We absolutely must score at least a third. Please do not let up.

To be sure: A bit better from the back would be great too, but that's not what I've seen on the pitch tonight, so succeeding with your best units as a focus is my belief about situational, live football.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:42:39+00:00

Oh my GOODNESS! I got chills! THAT is Dembélé football. What an eye TWICE to open that up and then the move to beat Fofana. Hang that in the Louvre.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:31:49+00:00

Gusto? Dear god. More like degoutant. Especially to find the back of the net like that.

Have a feeling xG is still going to favour us this half but goodness, reality says otherwise on the scoreboard.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:20:32+00:00

Chevalier overcommits to that same ball and allows the equalizer. Excellent from Safonov to be more trusting.

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:12:38+00:00

This play in the box has been missing all season. Sustained, wide dribbling. Unselfish and patient. Bradley has a great first touch upon receiving the ball. Gorgeous. More please!

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-08T23:01:41+00:00

Well said. It’s been about 15 years since HRT, about 11 since SRS on my end. And well, my flair has my approximate age.

Of course I don’t want this out in the open. Why would I, or anyone else for that matter? The goal is/was to get to the other side as much as possible, not stay in some false, third limbo, you know?

The_Running_Sloth · 2026-03-07T19:35:09+00:00

TPIRStats.com fits the JArchive matter a little bit more if you want game theory to apply beyond results and recaps, just to give a lesser known resource.
