49ers v Seahawks, Patriots v Broncos.

Have at it. I’m waiting to watch the first episode of Season Three of Sherlock.

    Greetings:

    Us climate warming deniers are going with the NHL’s Boston Bruins (not the silly LA ones) versus Chicago’s (non-Redskin) Blackhawks. Ice, ice, baby.

  2. leigh says:

    Ice, ice, baby.

    Hear, hear! A man after my own heart.

    Go Penguins.

  3. guinspen says:

    ****Only six members of the Pittsburgh Penguins have played in all 47 possible games this season.

    […]

    The Penguins lead the NHL in man-games lost to injury this season according to ManGamesLost.com.

    Pittsburgh has reported 279 man-games lost, which is substantially higher than that of the second-place Anaheim Ducks (228 MGL).

    In fact, only three teams in the league have breached the 200-games lost barrier as Pittsburgh barrels toward 300.****

    For those of you keeping score at home.

    Spoiler Alert: Sherlock solves the mystery.

  5. BigBangHunter says:

    – Only two more weeks after this one until the final blessingly end of the NFL season.

    – Gotta love the Sports press super-hype of the Seahawks vs the 49’ers “rivalry”. Until very recently Seattle didn’t field a team as much as a scrimage dummy. But Pitt versus Clevlamd or Detroit or New York is gone, as well as the Packers vs several teams, and of course “America’s team”, Dallas, is all but disappeared, so its dah bomb.

    – Fortunately the demise of the Bolts is nicely replaced with the stirling play of the Aztecs. Cheers to coach Fisher, the John Wooden of his time.

  6. sdferr says:

    Sherlock solves the mystery.

    Yes, well, perhaps to his satisfaction . . . whereas in certain other quarters, the puzzle lives on, although at an entirely superficial level. Some mysteries prove simply too useful to put aside.

  7. BigBangHunter says:

    Spoiler alert: Brady won’t prevail.

  8. Pablo says:

    You spelled “Peyton”wrong, BBH.

    You know why Brady never got cut? Motherfucker wins Super Bowls.

  9. cranky-d says:

    I don’t recall getting a vote on whether the Cowgirls should be America’s team.

  10. cranky-d says:

    Tell that to the Giants, Pablo.

  11. BigBangHunter says:

    – I’m thinking neither one will Pablo. I just don’t think this is their year.

    – But then again I’m not particularly good at hitting it out of the park. Remember, I’m the guy who missed 50 grand when that asshole Rice caught 6 instead of 5 with 12 seconds to go, so I’m probably star-crossed.

  12. Pablo says:

    Which QB owns the most SB rings in history, cranky?

    Hint: it’s a tie and one of them is suited up right now.

  13. guinspen says:

    No Bears or Packers left.

    Go ‘cos!

  14. serr8d says:

    Heh. Belicheat with no hoody, and no (likely) win. Love to watch him squirm!

    I hope Jeff is enjoying this up close and personal.

  15. serr8d says:

    Belicheat’s tears…obsidian gumdrops!

  16. serr8d says:

    Now, if only Tattoo can win in Seattle… “De Plane! I catch de PLANE!”

  17. cranky-d says:

    When the Patriots lose, the Baby Jesus smiles.

  18. leigh says:

    I honestly don’t care who wins the other game. I’m just glad the Pats are out.

  19. Pablo says:

    Bah! Ya rat bastids!

  20. leigh says:

    Omaha!

  21. dicentra says:

    I am SHERLOCKED as well.

    And now SEAHAWKED?

  22. serr8d says:

    That 4th quarter in Seattle was a veritable clown show. Even (and especially) the referees looked like goobers.

    Manning should dominate henceforth. But why, oh why, is the Super Bowl performance in New Yawk City, open bowl, in February ?

  23. BigBangHunter says:

    – Why NY? Well its a lomg standing tradition of stepping on their own dicks in the league office, is why. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason on this one, like so many other aspects of the events in NFL football.

    – Anyway I covered on both games straight up, which probably means hell is about to freeze over. I lean Seattle in the SB. Not because they’re better, but because they’re fucking crazy.

  24. BigBangHunter says:

    – Drudge is already calling it the “pot bowl”.

  25. Blake says:

    BBH, I disagree, I don’t think Seattle or San Francisco looked good enough to beat Denver. Which I find to be rather astonishing.

  26. leigh says:

    I’d like to see Peyton bring it home. He can’t be long away from retirement and this could be a graceful exit. And I don’t like the Seahawks.

  27. sdferr says:

    So I see through the facebook grapevine that things seem to have gone well at the regionals — even a number one finger there in celebration! So, hey! Congrats to you Satchel, and huzzahs! Looking forward to the chance of a glimpse at a vid or two later.

  28. palaeomerus says:

    Sherlock was okay I guess.

  29. dicentra says:

    I don’t think we still know how Sherlock did it.

    SOB, anyway, with the bomb and stuff.

  30. BigBangHunter says:

    I lean toward Seattle in the SB. Not because they’re better, but because they’re fucking crazy.

    – Definately crazy.

  31. Congratulations to the Broncos and Seahawks.

    Peyton Manning now has one more playoff victory as a Bronco than Tim Tebow, even if it did take two more home games to get it.

  32. mattse001 says:

    I grew up in Washington state, so I suppose I’m a Seahawks fan. I’m not rabid about it, though.

    I was disappointed in the Sherlock season 3, episode 1. It was weird and disjointed, and full of extraneous detail.
    But then, I wasn’t a fan of the last episode in season 2. Moriarty would never have killed himself in such a way, IMO. So they already lost me by having a main character behave out-of-character.
    It feels to me like the writers are somehow already out of ideas, and are now just pulling stuff outta their asses.
    Which is a shame since there are so many other stories they could exploit.

  33. leigh says:

    I can’t get past the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an insect.

    His parents must have hated him to saddle him with that name or there is a rich relative with the same name and they were looking for inheritance money.

  34. Squid says:

    What’s wrong with “Benedict” as a name? It’s a perfectly good Christian name. Sure, the whole Benedict Arnold thing is a blot on its reputation, but one would think that Pope Benedict was enough to remedy that.

    Still, chalk me up as somewhat disappointed in the new episode. Hopefully the next will be better.

  35. sdferr says:

    At least they didn’t name him Cuke.
