I am pinning this thread as a visual record of all of the bets that are made for 2023’s #PlayWithMyMoney. At the end of the year, whatever money is in the balance will be sent to Akron Children’s’ way via their gift list at @CPCharity.

Surprised that Jack Hextall went first round. Also surprised that Tobias Trejbal went so late in the second. Cool that they’ll stay teammates for m Calgary.

Happy for Evan Jardine heading to C-BUS.

This guy "Clavicular" is likely to be dead by 35, and I'm not saying that with glee.

He has the psychiatric profile seen most commonly in profoundly damaged women who fall into anorexia and body modification.

Meanwhile, big dumb Gronk and not touched his contracts enough to pay his agent and buy a home and he’s fine. The amount of frivolous vanity purchases Haden lists off is insane here.

[KΞRL_✂️ @KRL_defi_]

Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.

“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”

“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”

“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”

“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”

“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”

“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”

“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”

“I bought my brothers cars.”

“I bought myself a penthouse.”

“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”

“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”

“That’s not how it works.”

“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”

“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”

“That’s why so many guys go broke.”

@3YearLetterman You misspelled “in everything.”

[BRiAN: Console War Critic @ToonsBrian]

People aren’t interested in being correct. They’re interested in feeling good about themselves and expressing that in terms of how much they “care.”

[BRiAN: Console War Critic @ToonsBrian]

In the meantime, we willfully ignore just how unscientific 50 years of “climate science” has been. Very few double-blinds, almost all research openly funded by those profiting from it. No computer models have predicted anything with reasonable margins of error.

Stu Skinner on #LetsGoPens Anthony Mantha’s performance tonight: “Honestly, I’ve been to two straight Stanley Cup Finals and if we had a player half as good as Anthony Mantha on those teams I’d be wearing two rings right now.”

Wow.

[BRiAN: Console War Critic @ToonsBrian]

“Literal.”

[Marcel @illnevercallitx]

That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA.

The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

TV reporter tells David Bowie the internet is "hugely exaggerated"

David Bowie's response is the closest thing to perfection about the future.

Tim Walz: “We’re damn sure about this. We need no damn kings.”

Same guy who started a snitch line for when you had too many people over for a BBQ.

[BRiAN: Console War Critic @ToonsBrian]

People don’t vet anything they RT. They don’t even vet the sources themselves. Everybody stops their thought process at “agreeability.”

Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.

@ToonsJack You were the first person I thought about when this popped up earlier today. Haha

[BRiAN: Console War Critic @ToonsBrian]

Chuck Norris didn’t die. He kicked the Grim Reaper’s ass and, as per the rules, merely took over as the new Grim Reaper.
