The Official QQ NFL Tailgate Thread

[Bill B]

Bill Belichick has signed a nonbinding short term contract with the NFL affiliated Viagra. Insiders, however, are not reporting that he will soon be listed as PUP (sorry Jeff!).

Good luck with that Bill.
Who does he think he is, Hugh Hefner?

When asked what their relationship was based on, Belichick refused to comment but he did supply this picture:

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics. Once the Stanley Cup is in the history books we can skip over the MLB and look forward to preseason. (Or you can watch Caitlyn Clark get her nightly beat down in the WNBA).

Yes, unless you want to play sock puppets with the grandkids!

Another great start, 1-0 Oilers after 6 minutes during Seppo's PP.

EDIT: End of 1st period, 1-0 to Oilers and a PP to start the 2nd Period.
EDIT AGAIN: Oilers score on the previously mentioned PP, just under 2 minutes into the 2nd Period, so 2-0 now.
EDIT YET AGAIN: Oilers 3-0 now, 15 mins. left in 2nd. Period.
Looks like another slaughter (if the previous game was a slaughter).

AND ANOTHER EDIT, THOUGH NOT A GOOD ONE: Seppos pull one back, so 3-1 with13 mins. left, 2nd Period.
AH, A BETTER EDIT (NO, CHANGE THAT AS I TYPE): Another PP goal for Oilers, 4-1, but Seppos strike back 14 seconds later, 4-2.

HMMM, EDIT 3RD PERIOD: Seppos score again, so 4-3, 16 minutes left.
PENULTIMATE EDIT: 2 minutes left: "They've pulled the goalie, and he's not happy!!" Poor chap.

ALL OVER: Seppos had an empty net coz they "pulled" their goalie (who wasn't happy with being pulled), and Oilers scored, so 5-3, and it's on to Edmonton for the next game to tie it up at 3-3.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

He was the real deal.....he could do it all

I saw him play centerfield for the Mets at the Polo Grounds. He had a decent bat at that point in his career but, man, could he cover ground in center!

Here is Mays' famous catch:

Oilers won again. We now have the series we had expected. Will it go seven?

Say hey - Nice comment from Moose Jaw
Many still say he was baseball's best all-around player. He could do it all.

Mookie Betts is as close as we come in the modern era. The man can play outfield and infield and also hit and run the bases.

1942 Maple Leafs leave plucky Oilers a hard act to follow in Cup comeback bid​

Their names are usually invoked only in playoff desperation.​

Yet the perfect mix of Hall of Famers and hard workers who were the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are in the news again.

Maybe the Oilers can take a leaf from their book. Still, 82 years is a long time.
