Barring a huge collapse, we're getting the win we desperately need tonight. The game has come at the cost of Nick Jensen, however.

Are they about to win? How do you take delay of game on the final kick?

D.C. simply can't execute.

If we're trying to give them skills they'll likely need, why are we teaching kids about mortgages?

Super Mario Party on the Switch was kinda dull in the board-game aspect, though it had some fun mini-games. Mario Party Superstars, though, was supposed to be kind of a best-of Mario party bringing back the great boards and minigames from the old Mario Party games on the N64. I haven't played Superstars, though, so I can't personally confirm. There's also Overcooked is another option for a multiplayer co-op game, as you try to fill orders in your kitchen. Rayman Legends is a great co-op platformer with a zany art-style, though some of its levels can be really punishing. Snipperclips plus is a silly little co-op physics puzzle game as you use your character to cut shapes out of the other characters and then use those new body shapes to interact with the environment. Definitely something unique and worth trying with kids. Mario Maker 2 allows you and the kids to make your own courses or play other peoples' courses (and has a bunch of courses made by nintendo), and it supports simultaneous multiplayer. Apparently even the level-creator allows for two people to work on the level simultaneously. Kirby's Return To Dreamland Deluxe for a classic 2D Kirby adventure full of abilities to copy.

The first sequel was like 10 years later

You might say the real killer is at peace.

Sounds like a nice way to relax.

Yay, we scored. Too bad it's a two-goal game thanks to that ****ty empty-netter.

What a terrible way to give up an empty-netter. Buffalo iced the puck hard, but the linesman popped the puck out to the sabers for the free goal instead of icing.

What an awful penalty call. Dude leans into Wilson too far as he tries to interfere with Wilson's path to the puck and topples over, so Wilson gets called for tripping.

Again? I thought that was just an eclipse meme.

He made both picks in the same post.

Didn't hurt to come in with 11 picks, including 5 in the top 100.

With the Packers draft finally concluded, here's a recap: Coming into the draft, the Packers didn't have a whole lot of glaring needs. Safety and Linebacker were the greatest need. There's nobody to play opposite the newly poached Xavier McKinney, and transitioning to a 4-3 defense, they don't have a 3rd starting LB to play alongside Quay Walker and Isaiah McDuffie. Beyond that, there are a few positions that could use some buffing up that I picked based on value. After trading away Rasul Douglas, and Eric Stokes being injured all season, it made sense to add to the CB room for insurance. O-Line needed to add some depth and competition after letting 3 former starters go in the off season (David Bakhtiari, Yosh Nijman, and Jon Runyan Jr), so it was important to pick up two or three guys here to compete, there are no real holes in the starting line in desperate need of plugging, but competition at LT, C, and RG would be nice. Not critical, but edge rusher could use an extra body with Kingsley Enagbare ending the season with an ACL tear. Still have 3 solid rushers between Smith, Gary, and Van Ness, though. And at RB, for some reason the Packers thought it better to cut Aaron Jones and take on $12 mill in dead cap space and sign Josh Jacobs to another $12 mil/year. Assuming he returns to form, that's the top RB position filled. A.J. Dillon had a bad year and was re-signed to a 1-year deal. UDFA Emanuel Wilson didn't see much playing time, but looked promising in preseason. Could use another back to potentially replace Dillon, but hopefully not needed to be a bell-cow with the Jacobs signing. So needs: S, LB, OL, CB, RB, EDGE Results: Safety value wasn't there until I picked in the 3rd, and I feel I got pretty lucky to snag one of the better safeties in Cole Bishop near the tail end of the round after quite a few of them had come off the board after my last pick in the 2nd. Would double-dip at the position taking an intriguing athletic prospect in the 5th with Kitan Oladapo. I was fortunate enough to get my pick of LBs near the top of the 2nd (thanks, Aaron), so I picked up Payton Wilson there who should slot right into one of the starting positions in the base 4-3. Double-dipped with one of my 6th round picks taking Edefuan Olofoshio to add some needed depth to the position. Tripled down on OL. Patrick Paul should step in and compete for the LT position, or maybe even RT allowing Zach Tom to slide inside (not that he needs to, but he would be an improvement at either C or RG). Then at the end of the 3rd, I picked up Puni who I think may be best utilized at Guard and can compete with Sean Rhyan for the starting position. And finally, near the end of the 7th, I picked up an elite athlete at C in Dylan McMahon. Needs to put on some weight, but I think he's a future starter. At CB, Kool-aid McKinstry was solid value in the first, so I took him to really bolster the secondary. GB's secondary is going to be scary with Jaire Alexander and Kool-aid manning the perimeter, and Stokes, Nixon, and Valentine fighting for nickel and dime snaps, plus McKinney roaming deep safety. I may have reached at RB, but Isaac Guerendo's physical toolset was very interesting in the 4th round. His combination of speed and power gives him flexibility, and after pounding the rock with power backs Jacobs and Dillon, the Guerendo can keep wearing them down with his own power running, or he can run a sweep outside with his 4.33s 40 speed and outrun the tired, battered defenders to the edge and turn it up-field. Rounding out the needs, I think AJ Simon gives another option at edge. He can fight with returning UDFA Brenton Cox to be the 2nd man off the bench until Kingsley Enagbare comes off PUP. And finally, there was Dallin Holker at TE I took in the 6th round because it was solid value, and there's room on the depth chart for another TE after Musgrave and Kraft. Plus he can play a bit of an H-back/FB role that is available with the departure of Josiah Deguara. 1 25 Kool-aid McKinstry CB 2 41 Payton Wilson LB 2 58 Patrick Paul OT 3 88 Cole Bishop S 3 91 Dominick Puni G 4 126 Isaac Guerendo RB 5 169 Kitan Oladaop S 6 202 Edefuan Ulofoshio LB 6 219 Dallin Holker TE 7 245 Dylan McMahon C 7 255 AJ Simon EDGE

With the 255th pick of the draft, the Packers select: AJ Simon, EDGE, Albany Who? Small school prospect here, but a highly productive edge-rusher. His lack of height will be why he's available on day 3 of the draft, but he's fast, strong, and has a bevy of pass-rush moves in his toolbox. Standing only 6'1", he's built pretty thick at 265 pounds. At his pro day, he ran a 4.64s 40 showing off his speed, and put up 34 reps on the bench press. His 12.5 sacks last season was--I believe--the most in college football. He'll bull-rush through tackles, run around them, rip and tear until it is done. Obviously he's not in one of the top schools playing against the top talent, but he dominated the FCS. He's such a sleeper prospect it's hard to even find anything on him, but I think NFL scouts will find his tape and take a shot on him on day 3. Perhaps as early as the 5th round that will leave the pundits scratching their heads while they figure out who he is.

Shame the shutout was spoiled in the last second.

There's another 30-goal season under Ovechkin's belt. Announcers: You know, the shots are heavily in Detroit's favor, but Washington's had quality. It could easily be 2-0 Washington. *30 seconds later Announcers: It's 2-0 Washington.

Very intriguing size/athleticism, but the tape just wasn't very interesting to me. Late 7th seems reasonable to take a chance on that.
