Congratulations to Dallas Eakins on his promotion to unemployment. Happy for him!

Odell Beckham, Jr. is good at American footballing.

I'm confused.  Since when is winning by more than 1 goal allowed?

I believe it's allowed when facing AHL level organizations such as the one in Edmonton. At least that's the impression I've gotten over the last nine years.

I believe Lou Lamoriello has stated that Marty will have a home in the Devils' front office whenever he retires. I like that he's taking a final shot at chasing another Cup.

Guy should've rolled under that Jeep so he wouldn't have to attend another Bucs game.

Yes. It starts with Daryl Katz and his insistence on employing Kevin Lowe, the one constant over the past decade. I'm sure Dallas Eakins and the scouting department are next to go. Good for them. Until Lowe is fired, the rest is simply re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

I might j/o to this video later. It makes me that happy.

David Perron- Friday, November 21st:

"Something has to change. When you are making those mistakes, something needs to happen. They are the same mistakes we were doing last year. We keep talking about how much better we are this year, but for me it is the same record now that we had last year. It is not better."

"It's about a full sixty. We need to have accountability from coaches and teammates."

Sunday, November 23rd:

Oilers place David Perron on trading block.

Good for Perron calling this circus out. Taylor Hall should do the same if he ever wants to play for an actual NHL team.

Four... WINS in a row? Scrivens is just killing it right now. This happiness I've experienced over the last week and a half is too much for my tiny brain to comprehend.

I am so very sorry, Connor McDavid.

The locker room attendants might want to scour every corner of the Kings' room, because I'm certain that somewhere in there they will find Ben Scrivens curled up in a ball, hiding from his copper and blue captors.

Should he be found, please take him in like a refugee. He deserves better than playing behind the hellscape that is the Oilers defense. Send him to Manchester to play for the Monarchs if you must. He will like playing for a professional hockey franchise and no doubt rues the day he was traded to NHL North Korea.

we need to give you some kind of sports fan intervention. edmonton and tampa bay? that's a tall order.

The Sixers are my NBA team. I don't know what I did to deserve this. I'm like a parent, and my sports teams are my four kids. The Buccaneers are methheads living in the basement doing their damnedest to set the house ablaze. The Oilers are out getting caught underage drinking every other night. The Sixers are unemployed layabouts whose long-term plan for success is hitting the lottery (NOTE: THIS IS THE ACTUAL PHILADELPHIA 76ERS STRATEGY). The Angels were my honor students. Straight As most of the year, then when final exams came, they decided to take a few bong rips the morning of the exams and completely blew them off.

I have no idea why I watch sports anymore.

No Eberle, no Nugent-Hopkins and Jeff Petry is a healthy scratch because that's what you do with your best defenseman, I guess. Enjoy the show, gentlemen.

Jeff Petry aka The Best Defenseman on the Team is a healthy scratch tonight. Because Oilers.

Turn the cannons around, sink the ship.

If NASCAR is serious about safety, they'll suspend Keselowski for Talladega, knocking him out of championship contention. Spoiler alert: they probably won't because they're about as concerned about safety as the NFL is.

I SURE DO LOVE FOOTBALL.

Unless something changes in the next hour, it looks like Nurse and Klefbom are in the pressbox again tonight, as they were for game 1. I do not understand this team. I feel like I have been repeating that sentence over and over for eight years now. I guess the idea is for them to watch the Brad Hunt/Justin Schultz pairing so they know what not to do.

Opening night! Good luck with the defense of the Cup this season. Thank goodness hockey is back and not a moment too soon.

I'd be surprised if Nurse isn't withYakimov in Oklahoma City before game 9. You're absolutely right though- Yakimov at C and Nurse at D will definitely add some much needed size to the lineup.

Apparently both Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov put ten pounds on during the offseason so at least the problem is being recognized. I assume the issue of burning the first year of entry level contracts won't be happening anymore either which is why I can see Nurse being sent back if the Oil get off to a rough start.

OILERS SEASON PREVIEW

-They'll be awful defensively again.

-Scrivens will steal a few games.

-Poor Taylor Hall will cement his status as an elite wing all while having his spirit slowly broken playing for this clownshow.

Paid for my NHL GameCenter Saturday night, let's get Oilers Death March 9.0 started baby!

*END PREVIEW*

Could TBS please play that Viagra commercial now?

If I were a player I'd use the Viagra guitar theme as my at bat music with hopes it would trigger a Pavlovian response from the women in attendance.

Olbermann ending that whole piece by saying "Yeah Jeets" was gold.

For anyone unaware of that reference:
