Sticks and Dicks: The Saga Continues

[chibirhm]

HEY so remember how puckling and I sometimes yell at each other and pretend it's a podcast about hockey? SURPRISE, WE DID IT AGAIN:

Sticksanddicks002 by chibirhmThis time we discuss Broshie (ugh), Taylor Hall's kissing abilities, how much he loves Jordan Eberle, make random forrays into football/soccer, sigh over Carey Price's face, and bemoan the

UGH that 24/7 was such a letdown after the Pens/Caps one. Like both Torts and Lavoilette, I spent the entire time listening to them like DISCO DAN WOULD BE SO DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH OF YOU.

[chibirhm]

I mean they also had GENOOOOOOOOOO and Flower and Talbot (sob) and Duper and Cooke were also pretty magnificent and basically the entire Pens organization comes across as A FUCKING DELIGHT. Like I'm aware I went into it biased, but it's really hard to come out of that and not just want to give everyone a big fucking hug.

[chibirhm]

The best part of that ENTIRE SERIES was when Talbot sneaks out to find Dan and gets so HAPPY to see him and I was like NOOOOOOOOO MY HEART WHY WHY WHY.

Geno's face is clearly the answer to all of life's problems, js.

[chibirhm]

THAT WAS NICOLE. I judgementfaced her hard.

[puckling]

LOOK I KNEW IT WAS LA LIGA, I KNEW IT WAS ONE OF THE TWO TEAMS, I JUST ALWAYS THINK OF HIM IN CONTEXT OF THE NATIONAL TEAM OKAY?

[puckling]

I JUST KNEW ABOUT THE SAN IKER PART. I GOT DISTRACTED FROM THE REST BY HIS FACE. HIS GLORIOUS FACE.

Things I know about La Liga: league management is legit fucked up, Barcelona wears stripes, and when Real Madrid plays Barcelona it is called the Classico. I can also name two players who are not Iker who play in it (Christiano and Messi), but I don't think it would be a good idea if I tried to figure out whether they play for Barca or Real.

But then, it's only lately that it's been brought to my attention that my local MLS team gets paid.

Soccer is a difficult sport to keep track of. There so many leagues.

[puckling]

Messi plays for Barca because when he was little he got a horrible disease and his old club couldn't afford the medical bills, so a family friend had them fly 12 year old Messi to Barcelona for a try out, and they thought he was so good that they bought him on the spot, moved him to Spain to live at their youth academy, and paid for his $900/day shots WHICH HE INJECTED HIMSELF. Messi will never leave Barca. They will have to kill him first, the entire team will have to go bankrupt, CATALUNYA ITSELF WILL SINK INTO THE OCEAN FIRST.

EUROPEAN FOOTBALL WHY DO YOU MAKE HOCKEY LOOK LIKE IT ISN'T A COMPLETELY HORRIBLE FOSTER PARENT? WHY? Also Messi is the motherfucking Sidney Crosby of soccer, I can't even deal with this, honestly, tiny bb boy. /o\

if a certain bank in Spain every goes bankrupt, he and his buddy Kaka will have to stop playing or something, because the bank used them as collateral in a insolvency thing. Money!

...it's not that I don't believe you, it's just like so many thing about Cristiano Ronaldo, it boggles the mind.

[puckling]

For serious, Lionel Messi is what would have happened if Pittsburgh had bought Sidney Crosby as a tiny child, trained him to play in their youth leagues, unleashed him on an unsuspecting public at 17 and then--Sweet Jesus, let him be raised up by Ronaldinho and Deco amidst one of the greatest team clusterfucks ever known to modern soccer.

I understood like half of it but enough to know that you're suggesting making Sid's childhood even *sadder* than it already is, and I strongly D: at you.

The entirety of Cristiano Ronaldo's existence is like Lionel Messi's mirror!universe life.

He's the Draco to Messi's Harry, look, it's totally legit.
