Islam Attacks London

  1. Replying to 
    The incident at is a stabbing and is not connect to the incidents at &
  2. At 0025hrs 4/6/17 the incidents at & were declared as terrorist incidents.

Tonight, I am a "Predator"...y'all.

Ten minutes to kickoff faceoff!

It's nuts out here. No other Stanley Cup Final pregame has been like this.



The scene in Nashville before the Predators Stanley Cup Final home opener is wild

Nashville sure knows how to bring the fun before their first home Stanley Cup Final game.



I have been to Stanley Cup Final games in 21 different cities. I have never seen anything like the scene around tonight's game in Nashville.

London Bridge Attacks

"More than one" fatality per BBC.

VEHICLE, KNIFE, AND GUN ATTACKS ON LONDON BRIDGE


ESPN has a story on the beginnings of the Pittsburgh "Penguins" and it made me feel bad.

But the new team had a couple of other setbacks along the way -- none more notorious than the heartbreaking story of Pete the Penguin...Pete appeared only a handful of times before he apparently caught pneumonia and died early in the Penguins' second season.

My goodness. The "Penguins" did have a major setback early on, in their third season, and it did involve a death, but not Pete the Penguin for crissakes.

Michel "Mike" Briere only played one season for the "Penguins," 1969-70, only scored twelve goals, got no votes for rookie of the year, but such was his promise that...

That's right, only two players and one of them Briere.


This is all ESPN says about the time Briere's promise flashed:

The Penguins did not make the playoffs in their second season, either, but they did get there in their third campaign, sweeping the Oakland Seals in the first round before losing to the St. Louis Blues.

Wikipedia sums the full story:

During the quarterfinals of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Brière scored the first overtime goal in Penguins' history on April 12, 1970, by scoring the game-winner, and series clincher, against the Oakland Seals at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena. The sweep of the Seals was also the first playoff series victory for the Penguins' franchise.[2]
...
During the playoffs, Brière led the team in scoring with eight points, which included five goals and three assists. Three of his five goals were game-winners.


Michel Briere showed the promise of a budding superstar that an expansion team so badly needs.

And then, just after the "Penguins" first ever playoff run ended Michel Briere returned home to Montreal, he was to be married in June, and on May 15 crashed his new burnt orange Mercury Cougar outside Val-d'Or, Quebec. He was ejected from the vehicle and suffered major head injuries. He had four brain surgeries. He lingered almost a year. On April 13, 1971 at 4:20 in the afternoon, he was gone. Michel Briere was 21 years old.

That was the early, major, "heartbreaking setback," ESPN, not Pete the Penguin.

Iiiit's a hockey night in Tennessee!

Nashville and Memphis and Chattanooga and Knoxville and all parts in between are going nuts over the "Predators. The first Stanley Cup finals game comes to "Smashville" tonight at 8 pm against Pittsburgh. Hit it!

Wish that I was on ol' Hockey Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Hockey Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Hockey Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that
Hockey Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Hockey Top
Hockey Top, Tennessee
Hockey Top, Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed ol' Hockey Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Hockey Top
Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Hockey Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Hockey Top
Get their corn from a jar
Hockey Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Hockey Top
Hockey Top, Tennessee
Hockey Top, Tennessee
I've had years of cramped-up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again
Hockey Top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Hockey Top
Hockey Top, Tennessee
Hockey Top, Tennessee
Hockey Top, Tennessee

State Penn: Spanier, Curley, Schultz Get 2 Months Jail

"Why Mr. Sandusky was allowed to continue to the Penn State facilities is beyond me," Judge John Boccabella said. "All three ignored the opportunity to put an end to [Sandusky's] crimes when they had a chance to do so."

Boccabella also criticized the actions of former football coach Joe Paterno, who like the other administrators failed to alert child welfare authorities or police to the 2001 complaint.

Paterno "could have made that phone call without so much as getting his hands dirty. Why he didn't is beyond me," Boccabella said.

Cleveland Cavaliers Scribbles: Tyronn Lue's challenge, team's disturbing lack of effort


"He's our coach and if he felt like we weren't giving the effort we needed to do then he has the right to do that," James said. "Our guys that came in, they played as well as they could."

"We need to toughen up," Blatt said. "I didn't think we displayed the kind of toughness that made us a team last year. I didn't see that the last two games, and we need to toughen up -- every aspect."

"Worse, it often seems like he's not giving his usual effort, particularly defensively..."
Nov25_2014

And you could go back. The 2014 Finals game for Miami against San Antonio. The 2010 playoff game for Cleveland against Boston. The 2008 game against Boston. I do not understand why a hallmark of LeBron James teams has been lack of effort in some games.

James is now 1-7 in Finals first games. It is not over! He's won three of those Finals. The only first game he won, 2011 against Dallas, his team, the "Heat" lost the series. That is the maddening thing about James teams: they have this arrogance that they can just turn it on, and they can!

Lies, damn lies and statistics: LeBron James had 28 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists last night. Eight turnovers too, but that can speak to too much effort. Good game! Not so fast. Maybe the least untruthful statistic is this: -22. James' +/-. His team lost by 22. By this one gross statistic LeBron James contributed this here to his team last night: 0. Which calls to mind this from Miami, 2014 Finals:

"In the Finals, James averaged 28.2 points and 7.8 rebounds, while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, but somehow the Heat were a minus-13.1 per 100 possessions when he played."
June16_2014

And that gets back to it: it's James' teams. Even when it's not LeBron sleep-walking, the teams he's on sometimes do. Blame it on Tyronn Lue? And Blatt, Eric Spoelstra and Mike Brown, too?

Somewhere along the line James’ two-time defending champions morphed into the Miami Cavaliers...

More than any other these Cleveland teams these last three years have been LBJ's teams. He is the straw that stirs the drink, of course. But he also made the drink, got the ingredients he wanted, mixed them in the proportions he wanted. It's his drink.

That "toughness" that David Blatt bemoaned the lack of, Michael Jordan had that! Hoo-doggie. Mother-fucking M.J. had a FIRE. Of course James can play like he is on fire but at odd times, and repeatedly, it's not been there. 1-7 in first game Finals! This is a blot on James resume in comparison to Jordan. People remember those things! People remember Scottie Pippen refusing to go into a game. They remember Jordan playing when he was dehydrated with the flu and still scoring 38 points! People remember James and his teams' lack of effort. And it makes them mad. It is insulting to the human spirit not to try. Especially in competition. I just don't understand it.

Philippines cops seem to be masters of the case.

That's One

Yeah, I'm gonna give it to them. I gotta go zzz. Golden State 100, Cleveland 80, 6:07 left in game.

MANILA CASINO CHIPS ROBBER CAUCASION, SET HIMSELF ON FIRE

This interesting individual "shot at gambling machines and set tables on fire" and "didn't appear to be firing at people." "He didn't hurt anyone. Those who were injured got their injuries when they jumped from the windows."

The man ransacked a room and stole gaming chips, Dela Rosa said. He had stuffed chips totaling 113 million pesos ($2.3 million) in a backpack, but this had been recovered by police, he added.
He added that the suspect appeared to be Caucasian and had a mustache.

[Ah! A moustache. Cherchez le blanc man cum mustache. BORAT! Was it BORAT?!]

He committed suicide by setting himself alight.

INN-teresting people, white people. I bet non-whites have a hard time understanding.
Is the Philippines in Malaysia? No, right?


Sir! Sir! Can I help you find your chips?


EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!

DESPERATE GAMBLER IN PHILIPPINES








Gunman at @rwmanila tried to steal casino chips, perhaps a robbery attempt not #ISIS attack, says police chief.



:)

*LONE ROBBER NO TERROR ATTACK AT MANILA TOURIST HOTEL; IS CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY

Gun fire, explosions, a fire, "scores injured": a major attack.

*Update. Lone robber. That's per Manila police. Lone robber. Lone robber? What was he trying to steal, souls?
