I love Mingo.

When you are born and raised in Iowa your favorite team are all over the map.

Denver Broncos
St. Louis Cardinals
Portland Trail Blazers
Pittsburgh Penguins

If a team in Colorado isn't my fav team, that team is basically second in every other sport for me.

You should be ashamed if the Rockies are in your top 29 list!

 

[Mingo]

Speaking of teams - the Lakers look like they need a new rival - since they can't beat the Nuggets - I suggest the Pelicans.

Rockies are probably more like my 5th favorite MLB team.

Avs and Nuggets are #2 to my favorite.

I still like the Rockies, win or lose. I enjoy you calling them idiots when they win because you want that one extra draft slot.

Except the MLB has gone to the lottery draft situation and the Rockies has to share 16% odds for the top pick with two other teams.

Actually I don’t care that much about a draft slot for the Rockies to succeed. I just want them to lose and their owner to sell!

That’s news to me. Can they get worse than third spot?

If anyone wants a 30 day guest pass to The Athletic, shoot me your email address and I’ll sign you up for that.

Yep. Sorta why I didn’t really mind the Cardinals winning a few extra games at the end of the year.

If you pick in the top four this year - next year - the highest, you can pick is 11.

I think that only applies to high revenue clubs that pay into revenue sharing, which is why the Nationals after picking 2nd last year can only pick 11th of worse, but the Pirates who picked 1st can be better than 11th and even 1st again. I could be wrong about that as the rules are really convoluted though.

Ha - yes there is that - as a White Sox fan - I don't like that because the Sox are considered a High Revenue team for that situation.

Are the Rockies a high revenue team? I’d guess no due to TV revenue.

Hey, the next best thing in hockey to the Penguins is the Avs winning.

There ya go, not only beat the Avs for their first loss, but shut them out.

 

[SpiritOf77]

Best game I've seen the Pens play in a long time ... Jarry was great

Reilly Smith and Geno have some chemistry goin'

Penguins were due for a good game. They were 2-3 going into the game. Their second shutout of the season.

You know the ole saying.

Good game.

Do you double as a Devil's fan?

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic delivers a 70-foot alley-oop, from out of bounds, like a shortstop turning two

The Joker is just toying with people at this point

Joker delivers 70 foot Ally Opp to Aaron Gordon as an in-bounding play!

With a flick of the wrist! I’m amazed at his accuracy on his long passes.

No, not a fan of the Devils, unless they are playing the Rangers !! .. I do appreciate the Colorado connection though

In the spirit of the Halloween season, here's some photos I took last Saturday ..

For fans of horror films, this is Mecca

I took a guided tour of Cam NoBeBosCo aka Camp Crystal Lake, the actual filming location for the 1980 classic Friday the 13th

NoBeBosCo has been an active camp since 1927, and it is still home to campers every summer ... But in late summer/autumn 1979, it was the location for a low budget film that went on to be a classic ... No Hollywood sets, not CGI or big post production, just a bunch of rag tag actors and filmmakers that took a hundred grand and made a classic

The shore that was home to the final fight between Mrs Vorhees and Alice
