To me the keyboard is like an umpire in baseball. I never give it much thought unless something goes wrong. Back in the day I would have keys that would stick, or fall out, things like that, but for the last 15 years probably I don't recall ever having an issue other than maybe the ink wearing off some of the keys.

I don't have much tournament experience, but I have never heard of it. Doesn't sound like a great way to do it. The couple times I did it we went up, did the form, and sat down until everyone was finished then the judges announced the third, second, and first place winners.

I'd just add that if you do NUNCHAKU, and I have at tournaments, I suggest not hitting yourself in the groin.

Grimmstine - Supernatural

Panters win game two, 4-1, as the series shifts to Edmonton.

Florida shuts down and shuts out Edmonton in game one 3-0.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

Jewelz - 40 Bars

Thinking about this series I am going with Florida because of their physical and suffocating defense which will be challenged by the Oilers fantastic offense. I also have questions about the Oilers goaltending as Skinner has been inconsistent, though he put up better numbers against Dallas. I am guessing that the Panthers win this series in six games, though for whatever reason I am suspicious of picking the Oilers to lose a closeout game at home. Panthers do have home ice advantage meaning that games 1,2,5,7 would be in Florida, games 3,4,6, in Edmonton. Couple of fun facts: The Oilers had the best record in the Western conference since Jan 1, and second best in the NHL. Florida had the third best record during the same period. The team with the best record since Jan 1? Carolina Hurricanes. If the Panthers win it would be their first time with the Cup. The franchise started in 1993 and has been to the finals two other years, 1996 and 2023. If the Oilers win it would be their first title since 1990, and the first time any team from Canada has won the cup since the Canadians did it in 1993. The last team from Canada to make it to the finals? Also the Canadians, though they lost the series to Tampa on July 7, 2021. The COVID pandemic delayed the season which is why that was the first and only time the SCF have been played in July. If the Oilers do win it would be their sixth time lifting the cup. On a personal note, I have zero rooting interest in this series and might not even be watching much of it, but for those who are excited I hope you enjoy it.

Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Life

Absolutely, I'm fascinated to see what happens with the characters, personally I hope Mike Barnes and Terry Silver fight each other. That is the only thing I felt that was missing from season five, but I understand why they didn't do it. For one reason, Sean Kanan had a scheduling conflict with another show which is why is did not get more screen time. I hope to see a lot more of him and Chozen as well. For me Chozen stole the show in season five. Anyway, that was back in September of 2022, so now I am going to go back and watch all the seasons before July 18 and swing right into season six. I have not gone back and watched since they first came out. However, this may not be the end of it. There was some talk about a possible Cobra Kai movie being made after the series concluded. Not sure how legit that is, but so far I have loved everything they have done so I hope they can keep it going. Looking forward to this!

I will test it.

McGregor has cancelled all his media appearances leading up to the fight including the press conference.

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are a Changing

Finals are set. After a chance for both series to go seven, neither did, they both ended in six with the lower seed advancing on home ice. Oilers beat the Stars 2-1 and are in the finals for the first time since 2006 facing the Panthers who were just there last year. Game one is on Saturday on ABC and ESPN+. Florida will have home ice advantage in the series. Here is the full schedule will all times being 8pm eastern Game 1 - Oilers @ Panthers Saturday June 8 Game 2 - Oilers @ Panthers Monday June 10 Game 3 - Panthers @ Oilers Thursday June 13 Game 4 - Panthers @ Oilers Saturday June 15 Game 5 - Oilers @ Panthers Tuesday June 18 Game 6 - Panthers @ Oilers Friday June 21 Game 7 - Oilers @ Panthers Monday June 24 Of course, games 5,6, and 7 are only if necessary. All games will air on ABC and ESPN+ in the USA and on the CBC and TVA Sports in Canada.

Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen are set to face off in an exhibition boxing match June 15. If you are an MMA fan you might recall that these guys had two high profile fights against each other in the UFC many years ago, with Silva winning both of them. I could be wrong, but I believe that the rematch is considered one of the most anticipated events in UFC history. Anyway, they are going at it again this time as boxers. Not sure what the point is but that is what they are doing. The fight will be in Brazil.

Panthers win game 6 2-1 and are in back in the Cup finals. The Oilers can join them with a home win on Sunday, or if Dallas wins game 7 will be Tuesday in Texas. Either way game one of the Stanley Cup Finals will begin on Saturday, June 8.

July 18 is much sooner than I expected. Thanks for the update! November 28 is Thanksgiving Day, guess they wanted it out so everyone would be talking about it at the holidays. Interesting to break it up into three parts, not sure I have seen any other show do that before. Sounds like the finale is going to be a single episode released on its own? I never watch the previews because I want to go in cold, but this is great information.

This fight has been postponed due to Tyson having a medical issue. The new date is TBD but is expected to be announced on or before June 7.

Oilers win in Dallas, 3-1, and are one win away from the finals. They could get that win on home ice Sunday at 8pm eastern on TNT and TRUTV.

New Kata.

Five Times August - What Happened to Us?

Kid Rock - We the People

Florida goes to NYC and scores twice in the third to win 3-2, taking a 3-2 series lead with a chance to win on home ice and advance Saturday night at 8pm eastern on ABC and ESPN+. Both Dallas and Edmonton have a chance to take a 3-2 series lead on Friday night. That game can be watched on TNT and TRUTV starting at 830pm eastern. Historically the team that wins game five in a 2-2 series goes on to win the series 79 percent of the time.

Seems a little early for the press conference. Two months before the fight? Is this normal in boxing or are we being treated to another new wrinkle in the fight game? What are the current betting odds that Tyson will get hungry and starting eating Paul's ear?
