a lot of Eagles and Bears fans in my timeline and if I were to only try to figure out their combined records based on the posting vibes I'd think they were both 3-8, but I look at the standings and they're a combined 16-7, go figure

Wow, Leeds come back from 2-0 down at the Etihad to equalize. It'd be nice if #nufc could actually give City a game like that on their visit in the spring or even, you know, score a goal.
(I shouldn't be churlish since they just beat City last week but that was at St. James')

the Lightning with afternoon games today & tomorrow have perfectly fit into my viewing schedule - today at noon, over in time to watch Gator hoops (& the NFL game) at 3, and tomorrow starting at 2 and ending around the beginning of UF-FSU at 4:30 (although they'll overlap with NUFC at 12:30)

Speaking of Walmart, my pickup order at their neighborhood grocery store was canceled overnight due to some sort of electric problem frying their system so I had to go aisle to aisle getting groceries like a schnook this morning
Walmart was a breeze this morning. Nobody there and the shelves were untouched. Happy Tariff Friday, everyone!

I've only seen two episodes, but I was mostly amused by HBO Max/Crave's "What if Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin were canoodling?" hockey rom-dram "Heated Rivalry."
It's "Queer As Puck"! It puts the "bone" in "zamboni"! The "twink" in "rink"!

‘Heated Rivalry’ Review: HBO Max’s Horny Hockey Drama Is a Playful Gay Romance for Grown-Ups
'Letterkenny' co-creator Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about a pair of rising hockey stars who fall into a steamy affair.

What will Connor Bedard’s next contract look like for the Blackhawks?
Considering how Bedard is developing in his third NHL season and the increasing salary cap, there are plenty of reasons for intrigue.
