Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crowded Concourse Before COVID (October 2016)

So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…

Saturday Snap – ElevateBoarding

At a time when people should be minimizing any activities that may result in a preventable trip to the hospital, Shea and I have mixed feelings about seeing Pace get his skateboard out now that spring seems to be here. Honestly, he’s pretty skilled and safe (notwithstanding how it looks due to the timely snap […]

Battle of Alberta Highlights

This game was pretty awesome – both the Flames and Oilers entering with similar records and a chance for whoever won to move into first place in the division if the Vegas Golden Knights also lost (which they did.) Battle of Alberta on Hockey Night in Canada with first place on the line – felt […]

Friday Fun Link – Ric Flair’s Wildest Outbursts

I could watch these all day…greatest promo man in the history of pro wrestling!

Friday Fun Link – Oilers vs. Leafs (1986 So 20 Goals Scored!)

Secular Sunday – I’d Prefer A Sprinkle of Success in the Red Zone

As an atheist, I always chuckle at athletes who inject their religion into the game or somehow seem to believe that god is helping them win or have success or whatever.

Did Dusty Rhodes’ Son Just Equal His Dad’s Best Promo?

In wrestling, Ric Flair had a character as a rich, arrogant, entitled asshole and one of his main rivals was Dusty Rhodes, a schlubby working man who was the “son of a plumber.” During one of their many feuds, Dusty delivered what is widely regarded as one of, if not the greatest, wrestling promos of […]

Friday Fun Link – Flames Cap Comeback Victory in OT

So I don’t mean to turn this blog into “all Flames all the time” but after that unfortunate OT loss in the Heritage Classic last Saturday, it was amazing to see the Flames come back from a 3-goal deficit to tie it with three unanswered goals in the third period last night. The Predators went […]

NHL #HeritageClassic Highlights

Wrong team won but with a few days to think about it, probably worth it to see a 3-on-3 overtime outdoors (pond hockey!) and would’ve been even better if it had gone to shootout too!
