Oh lord, shut up. A team traded away their best player because he 'isn't a team player' and 'all flash no substance.' Now he is in the finals with his new team and they are watching with their thumbs up their rear end. It's funny.

Its not even the first time Montreal has owned itself like this. They traded Patrick Roy in the 95-96 season to Colorado, who proceeded to win the Stanley Cup that season, while Montreal was eliminated in the first round.

Its close to happening again and :laffo: gently caress Montreal.

IIRC, this was after Roy was left in for something like a 9-goal game, as some sort of punishment by the coach, and Roy himself demanded that he be traded.

no because I am such a simple minded poo poo head that the idea an athlete could think in more complex terms is confounding, sports are pretty us vs. them

Oh, I agree. Montreal hired a coach that treated Roy, arguably the greatest goalie in modern NHL history, so badly that he demanded to leave. I looked it up to be sure, and in addition to that game, the guy just generally treated him like poo poo:

Wikipedia posted:

... [Coach] Tremblay regularly mock[ed] Roy's English-speaking abilities. The two had almost come to blows in two incidents in 1995, one at a Long Island coffee shop before Tremblay was announced as a coach and after Tremblay allegedly fired a shot at Roy's throat during practice.

When you have to explain to someone that you're joking, it's probably a bad joke. Or you aren't joking and are trying to cover your rear end after being called out.

I know a good deal about North American Gridiron Football, but I can't for the life of me tell what the idea behind this play was. It seems to go very wrong, but it doesn't look like there are many ways for it to go right.

It's a swinging gate formation. It's supposed to confuse the defense and lure them into committing an offsides penalty, and if that doesn't work, you can just attempt a field goal. The center was never supposed to snap the ball, but he did, and that's what happens

Pretty Good gets posted once every few weeks, I feel. I don't mind, though, because it is, in fact, Pretty Good.

The poker one is especially good, I feel, and the 1904 Olympics one is great just for the absurdity of it all.

Every time SB Nation tries to do a video essay about sports history, half the comments are some variation of, "Bring back Pretty Good."

I almost feel bad for their other presenter, but Jon Bois is just that good.

First one is about how bad professional poker is.

Second one is about the most hilariously tragic marathon.

Third is about a football God exacting revenge upon a rival who cheated.

Fourth is about the biggest letdown after a miraculous recovery in pro football.

My summaries do not tell the stories as entertainment. John does a great job of breaking things down for not sports viewers.

I'm sports agnostic; their alright and there are some drat good stories in them. I am growing absolutely tired of the, "haha I don't get sports!" That some goons seem to relish in. No one who follows sports cares enough to be mad, so it's not good trolling, and like, it doesn't cost anything to learn it and there are plenty of people who'd be excited to share with you, so it's not a great joke to make fun of an exclusive community.

Sometimes luck happens to professional gamblers. This makes them angry.

The early modern Olympics were not well organised.

Don’t gently caress with John Heisman.
