Saturday Links - Find A More Original Fantasy Football Team Name

No, it is not October yet. Ever heard of this fucking thing called a "Calendar"?

Also . . . GET ON CCR'S LEVEL.

BLUES NEWS:

• The Blues added depth to the Wolves, signing three-time Cup winning forward Colin Fraser to a one-year, two-way deal. [SLGT]
  

HOCKEY NEWS:

• Adam Gretz presents the NHL's Bad Contract All-Star Team. No Blues, because the Blues have maybe one shitty contract on their team and they just signed the guy this offseason (and traded for him last season). [SB Nation]
• The massive extension of David Krejci may have some bizarre implications for the Bruins, as Ryan Lambert writes in his weekly Trending Topics piece. [Puck Daddy]
• Ville Leino, who sucked ass for the Sabres, will go to the Bruins on a tryout basis. [NHL.com]
• Wild(s) goalie Josh Harding, he that is battling MS, has joined forces with trading card maker Upper Deck to raise money for his charity, Harding's Hope. Cool stuff. [Puck Daddy]
• The Canadiens have three goaltenders already, but Martin Brodeur seems to think they need a fourth one. Okay, Marty. You keep believing that. Or just fucking retire. [Toronto Sun]
• Greg Wyshynski tries to make the case that Steve Downie is not a thug. I do not particularly agree. [Puck Daddy]
• Rick DiPietro hasn't officially retired, but he HAS taken a job as a sports radio co-host. So, basically, he's done. [Newsday]
• Speaking of goalies . . . Stars youngster Jack Campbell will honor "Lone Survivor", Marcus Littrell. Nicely done, kid. [Puck Daddy]
• And more on goalies . . . Bruce Boudreau doesn't know yet who the Ducks goaltender will be. Well, I mean, he's only down to a couple choices now that Jonas Hiller went and fucked off, so he's got THAT going for him. [Pro Hockey Talk]
• Yesterday's Emoji preview? The Maple Leafs, who are about as perplexing as any team in the league but seem finally headed in a positive direction. Maybe. [Puck Daddy]
• Former Rivermen player (though never a Blues prospect) Akim Aliu talks about racism and character in hockey. You'll want to sit down for this one. [AP Hockey]
• The path to the NHL for Penguins coach Mike Johnston was a wild one and included interaction with Blues coach Ken Hitchcock AND a stop in one of hockey's newest hotbeds . . . Australia. (S/T to CrossCheckRaise) [Y! Sports Canada]
• I fucking despise Reddit, but it's good to know that five of the top ten sports sub-Reddits when it comes to swearing are hockey ones . . . and that the Blues are among those five teams. (S/T to CrossCheckRaise) [Deadspin]

OTHER SHIT:

• To fulfill Science Saturday requirements . . . a massive dinosaur was recently discovered in Patagonia. Like, REALLY REALLY big. An estimated 65 tons. [mental_floss]
• From the genius mind of Jon Bois . . . BREAKING MADDEN HAS RETURNED. [SB Nation]
• I love the Cardinals. I fucking despise many Cardinals fans, especially haughty dipshits like this guy, who wrote this high-falutin "Letter To The Editor" to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Stan Musial cares not for your dipshittedness. (S/T to J-Mill) [Hardball Talk]
• Speaking of baseball . . . the Toledo Mud Hens turned the outfield of their baseball stadium into a miniature golf course, and it is awesome. (S/T once again to CrossCheckRaise) [The Score]
• Have a fantasy football team? Think your team name is original? Well, if it's on this list, it's not. (And lemme tell ya . . . many of my opponents chose names like these, and I hope I beat them all.) [Deadspin]

VIDEOS:

First . . . here's Joan Rivers on The Carol Burnett Show. (S/T to Childhood Trauma, who kindly placed this in the comments of yesterday's links):

RIP, Joan.

Then . . . O'Fallon Township High School (home of the Panthers) kicker Tucker McCann busts off a 65-yard field goal in pre-game warmups. Shit, man. (A final S/T to CrossCheckRaise):

Goddamn.

Remember, the next two days will be Open Bars. So send stuff, and make it a FULL bar . . . and get on CCR's level:
