OT: 118th Obsequious Banter Thread: February is the month of food days

Meet your new NBCSP Flyers analyst.

I think you might mean president of hockey ops

I don't understand why Fanatics even exists in the first place. In a detrimentally capitalist world, how is Fanatics getting licensed by these big apparel companies in the first place? Why wouldn't Nike/Adidas/Under Armour/etc just make jerseys themselves and engorge on profits instead of splitting them with Fanatics? It makes no sense to me

The leagues have partial ownership of Fanatics.

They’re all in bed with each other. It’s pathetic.

I'm watching Knock at the Cabin with Girl and holy smokes usually I can deal with M Night Shyamalan's M Night Shyamalaness but this is way too M Night Shyamalan for me. It's way more reddit mod and way more "#deep" than what I'm accustomed to.

Also his annoying camera work is way more exaggerated this time around.

My only reaction to most things is to laugh. 3/10 so far

Update: it did not get better. Movie was an eyerollfest of cheesy dialogue and brutally framed camera shots. Ugh

2.5/10

That's a heck of a lot of Shyamalan-a-ding-dong you just used

Wow. Pranking a blind guy and making him wear embarrassing clothing is incredibly f***ed up.

Really such a great tweet. A performer wears team attire from team who's building he's performing in. Never seen, no pun intended, that happen before. Great reporting, I'm sure so many people care

I am watching Roma vs Feyenoord to remind myself why I dislike soccer. Dybala has heroically returned from several apparent life-threatening injuries to keep playing. I haven't seen so much grass rolling since @BiggE's last QuackVerse draft pick.

If ever there was group that could benefit from a strong "I'll give you something to cry about" handling, it's soccer people

Men's national hockey teams vs. soccer (football for the purists) teams.

We got The Child a Nest Mini for her room because she started wanting to listen to music at night. It's been hilarious to check and see what she's listening to, which has so far ranged from classical to Disney to techno.

Tonight as I'm leaving so goes "hey Google, play Paradise City." This was hilarious to me. I asked how she heard of it and she said she found it. She then explained "it sounds like barn music at the starting of it, but then it gets good. It's by Guns N Roses."

Quite a cultured 7 year old
