This definitely cracks the Top 3, up there with the Y2K test (“Follow me to freedom!”) and Dan & Kenny doing SportsCenter in Spanish. Oregon Duck and SVP w/ the thesaurus round out the top 5. Bonus sixth pick to the Manning family getting a tour.

Props to the DP Show for keeping this meme alive all of these years. Props to ESPN for finally just laying back and accepting the joke for what it is.

Eight years ago. CBA is up.
Most likely going to lose the entire season at this point.

I’ll play dummy for a moment. Can someone explain the logic of this? We all know that the NHL will come back eventually right? Eventually both sides will meet and hammer out an agreement, correct? Why can’t they just sit down and come to an agreement now rather than waiting until half the seasons over. Wouldn’t both sides stand to gain more if a new deal is reached sooner and the season is actually played? I asked the same thing with the NBA.

Billionaires can afford to play this kind of poker I guess.
If we lose the whole season I will never give another dime to the Penguins again.
