After the Bills pick I flipped to Bruins/BJ's - two teams I could care less about.

Holy crap. Bills make their pick (I'm happy) and I check in on hockey. Still 1-0 Bruins around mid period. Gonna have to catch the end. Life intercedes, I check back soon after and it's 2-1 BJ's. Flip channels in time for the tying goal. I hope these teams beat the f out of each other in case the Isles advance

I don't like playing ping pong I don't like the Viet Cong I don't like Burger King I don't like anything And I'm against it I'm against it

Has anyone else mentioned that Josh Allen got picked 7th the past two years? My son just pointed this out to me.

Round round get around, I get around, yeah (Get around round round I get around, ooh-ooh) I get around

Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going to lose it all

The irony for me was earlier tonight my boys put college bowling on instead of baseball or hockey just to f with me.

An Islander fan wonders who's up next. Playoff hockey is unparalleled. Can't wait for the next round.

Rails up or rails down?

Marshawn's Wall worthiness is intriguing and well worth discussing but premature IMO. Quite frankly I'd table Marshawn discussion until we rally around Kyle and get him up on the Wall where he belongs - and I do not mean #95. Although there's an outside chance #95 should be up there before Marshawn as well.

When Alonso got hit the other night it looked like the catcher was ready to intercede and Alonso patted him on the chest, like 'no problem bro'. At the time the bases were loaded with two out and McNeil had been hit to load the bases. Nice to see Alonso had situational awareness. I would seriously doubt either was hit intentionally. I thought that was pretty cool.

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

All I ever wanted was for the blatant bad call to be over-turned. We are way past the point to go back now and it gets worse with each passing year in every sport.

I rooted for Eddie the Eagle.

I couldn't say where she's coming' from, But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm

When you're swapping out DeGrom for Flexen the day is off to a bad start (pun intended). To your earlier post, the flip-flopping on the MRI makes them look clueless. Congrats to McNeil.

I wonder if its the teams or league policy? I get the targeting aspect but as Shady said, if Oshie isn't coming back that wouldn't matter. You'd think football would be the sport that would be most concerned about targeting.

OK, but why the secrecy? And if they're not going to be specific why bother with upper/lower as the distinction? Not a Caps thing, Isles announced Boychuk is out with a lower body injury. I'd be interested to know why the NHL does this.

What's up with the NHL and it's upper-body and lower-body injury designations? I didn't see what happened to Oshie but would a concussion be considered an upper-body injury?

You're loudmouth baby You better shut up I'm gonna beat you up 'Cause you're a loudmouth babe

I'm your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I'm passin' by See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

A reminder that it's a 162 game season. I can't stand Vargas so I get down on him quickly. With his hat off he looks like a guy that would be in a rock band that I wouldn't like. I'm more tolerant of Familia's sucktitude probably due to a half season of dominance a few years back...but patience is wearing thin. I'm sure I've quoted this before, but a great paraphrase from Bobby V that was more about team than player but still applies: you're never as bad as you look when things are going bad or as good as you look when things are going good.
