OTTOTD 10/9 - Bolt yourself In

Note to the Lightning: If you're going to copy the Tampa Bay Rays style of performing in endgame, might I suggest you mimic the 2008 Rays, and not the 2009 ones? I've had my heart ripped out enough times for one year from them alone, I'd prefer to see you not continue the trend; I'm already dangerously close to not caring what you do anyway, this'll just push me over the edge.
I've grown to absolutely hate the overtime loss setup the NHL has; not so much shootouts preventing ties, but the 2-or-3-point system, where a team is awarded a point for a regulation tie but only 2 points for a win. A point for a tie gives the deception that some teams are better then they actually are. Getting one point for a loss is stupid when the winner in regulation only gets 2 points. My preference would be that the NHL changes the scoring system so that a team gets 3 points for a win, 2 for an overtime win and 1 for an overtime loss. You penalize teams for not winning in regulation but winning in overtime, and you take away some of the advantage that a team has for an OTL.
Another way to think about it is a team could lose 81 games in a season and finish with the same number of points as a team that goes .500. That's not acceptable.

Last night's Always Sunny: Maybe the best ever
FREE SPEACH is a myth. There is no such thing as 100% free speech. You cannot go into a movie theater and say "FIRE"!…"What? I have freedom of speach!" Bull. Doesnt work that way. Any real lawyer will tell you that.

I hate the TB, NE, and Dallas lines. The Indy game seems like free money.
I could see either way on the first three.
I just don’t see how Tenn wins that game. That’s what they essentially have to do.
No no no. 3 is the Magic # with Indy.
They will kill you as a fav when more than +3 on the road. So many wins by field goal margin.

hmmm
Maybe. I had it in my head it was 2 when I made that last comment.
Still, though, the way Peyton’s been clicking with the way the TEN defense has played, I find it hard to belive the Colts win by less than 5. It is the NFL though.
Its the matchup look within:
Tenn DLine is not the same @ stopping the run. Well iNdy passes
Indy can’t stop the run, Tenn runs well
Save your money SRQ

And I know Tenn got torched by Garrard
But that was on the road. They will be fired up to get on track

How did
Yeah Indy screams free money
turn into
Wasn’t gonna touch that one anyway

I don't know.
I’d take Indy but I’m not going NFL this week. It hurt me last week

For the lulz
But remember, what does Indy D suck at?
Rush defense, which is where Tenn gets you.

Is it part of the overall global plan that some people are just born to be buttholes?

Neurologically we all develop different pathways that lead to various emotional "addictions"
Some people get a serotonin release from acting like a butthole.

My addiction is to grudge fuck your sister.
MY brain only releases the precious serotonin when your sister is crumpled on the ground, in the fetal position, covered in my feces and ejaculate crying her eyes out.

Best move I made this offseason so far was to get myself canned over there

Too bad they're from RI.
I used to know a meth-head 16 YO that was a stripper in FL. She was HOT, suprisingly.

As there is no new OTTOTD for today, I thought I would paste this here. From BE ( I removed the name so there wasn't an SBN blow up)
This phone sucks, and so does your blog Nico. You’re a fucking tool. Blow it out your ass.
