Remmy Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Worst Songs~ Don't remember Ok Ok so I guess that's fine! Thot Shit is actually the first Megan song I've really enjoyed Drake, B**ber, C**di, M**gan getting their lashings KIii at Bryson dominating, didn't even know he had more than one song Only heard about Let's Go Brandon. Wow it feels weird seeing Lose You to Love Me on last year's list. Returning~ Avril Lavigne, Beyoncé, Charli XCX, Foxes, Gwen Stefani, Harry Styles, Kelly Clarkson, My Chemical Romance, Rihanna, The Weeknd. Ahhh if MCR drops something I will flip || Rookies~ Silk Sonic + Tenille Arts || Breakthroughs~ girl in red
Ewan Chaos Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Oh wow, Up, Thot Shit, and Peaches don't DESERVE this slander. SCREAMING at the name of your #1 worst song This pandemic has brought out some serious idiocy that we knew existed but decided to rear its ugly head in fun new ways for the rest of us!

D/X Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Bad Bunny in worst songs I feel like Sam Fender has been there for quite a time or don't know. I have seen a LOT from Wet Leg. JAWNY also have a couple of good singles.
JGibson Posted December 22, 2021 Author Posted December 22, 2021 JGib's Best of 2021: MLB Review This is the 12th of several installments for the 2021 edition of JGib's Best Ofs. The Top 360 Songs of 2021 list will resume next Monday, with a recap of songs 360-181 and songs 180-161 to open the 2nd half of the list. Next up: NHL Review 2021 MLB Review The 2021 MLB Regular Season started on time this season with the full 162-game schedule and the reverting of most of the 2019 rules, including the return to the DH at AL stadiums only (which almost certainly means that 2021 was the final year of pitchers hitting at NL parks) and the playoffs at 5 teams per league (3 division winners + 2 wild cards) for 10 total. The 7-inning doubleheaders and the runner starting at 2nd during each extra inning remained from the COVID-shortened 2020 season. This was the final season that the Cleveland MLB Team was known as the Cleveland Indians, as they will be known as the Cleveland Guardians. Fan capacity limits at MLB stadiums gradually increased and then were done away with throughout the season to allow a full capacity crowd due to the COVID pandemic. Due to cross-border travel restrictions for nonessential purposes between the US/Canada border during the majority of the season, the Toronto Blue Jays held their home games at Dunedin, Florida and Buffalo, New York. In late July, the Blue Jays were granted permission to hold home games at their actual home stadium, Rogers Centre, for the first time since the end of the 2019 season. The MLB All-Star Game and its associated activities returned after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-shortened 2020 season. The initial location of the All-Star Game was to be held at Truist Park in Georgia near Atlanta; however, due to the furor against voter suppression bill Georgia SB202, the game was relocated to Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The 2021 MLB Draft, also relocated from Georgia to Colorado, saw 20 rounds conducted-- 15 more than last year's but a far cry from the pre-COVID era of 40 rounds. The Pittsburgh Pirates took Catcher Henry Davis at #1 from the University of Louisville. As of December 2nd, the MLB entered a lockout that ended nearly 27 years of labor peace. The last time the MLB shut down was in August 1994, which led to the postseason being cancelled and the 1995 MLB season to be under a truncated scheduled and a delayed start. The Montréal Expos-- who were one of the best teams that year-- never recovered, and eventually became the Washington Nationals at the end of the 2004 season after spending the last two seasons before splitting time between Montréal, Québec, Canada, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. How long will the lockout drag on is the question? Will it be resolved before Spring Training starts? Will it lead to a delayed regular season and Spring Training? Will it lead to a truncated regular season or even no season akin to the 2004/05 NHL season that was cancelled due to the lockout? Stay tuned as more developments come in. The 2022 MLB season, if a season will happen (either the full normal 162 or a shortened one), will feature some changes-- most notably the universal DH, international draft, and service time manipulation prevention measures, and more. 2021 MLB Standings American League AL East W L Pct.

JGibson Posted December 23, 2021 Author Posted December 23, 2021 JGib's Best of 2021: NHL Review This is the 13th of several installments for the 2021 edition of JGib's Best Ofs. The Top 360 Songs of 2021 list will resume next Monday, with a recap of songs 360-181 and songs 180-161 to open the 2nd half of the list. Next up: Soccer/Footy Roundup 2021 NHL Review The 2020-21 NHL Season was shortened to 56 games from the normal 82 and games confined to the temporary realigned divisions due to the US/Canada Border being closed to nonessential travel amid the ongoing COVID pandemic. The playoff format stayed at 16 teams, but was slightly modified to eliminated the Wild Cards, meaning the top 4 in each division go to the playoffs. Many rinks operated at reduced spectator capacity throughout the season and a few didn't permit spectators (mostly the Canadian ones). Some rinks did permit full capacity during the playoffs. The shortened season had the taxi squad rule of 4-6 players, including at least a goalie, rostered. This season was the final season in which NBC had the US TV rights for the NHL. NBCSN, the former main home for the NHL, is shutting down at the end of 2021. The current 2021-22 NHL season is back to the normal 82-game schedule and normal division alignments, with the Arizona Coyotes moving to the Central Division due to the entrance of the Seattle Kraken, who are placed in the Pacific Division. All arenas are back to full capacity; however, certain arenas are mandating a COVID vaccination and/or a negative COVID test to enter, along with mask mandates. The NHL All-Star Game and the NHL Winter Classic (between the Blues and Wild, which was originally scheduled in 2021) are back after a season hiatus due to COVID. The NHL was scheduled to a take a break during the majority of February 2022 for the Olympics in Beijing, but due to the Omicron variant and China's quarantine policies, the NHL reversed course and said no to sending players to Beijing. Instead, the cancelled Olympic break will be used for make-up games that were postponed recently. Starting this season, ESPN/ESPN+/ABC and TNT/TBS are your new homes for the NHL on US television. 2020-21 Temporary Division Realignment West Central North East Anaheim Ducks Carolina Hurricanes Calgary Flames Boston Bruins Arizona Coyotes Chicago Blackhawks Edmonton Oilers Buffalo Sabres Colorado Avalanche Columbus Blue Jackets Montreal Canadiens New Jersey Devils Los Angeles Kings Dallas Stars Ottawa Senators New York Islanders Minnesota Wild Detroit Red Wings Toronto Maple Leafs New York Rangers San Jose Sharks Florida Panthers Vancouver Canucks Philadelphia Flyers St. Louis Blues Nashville Predators Winnipeg Jets Pittsburgh Penguins Vegas Golden Knights Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals 2020-21 NHL Standings Central Division Pos Team GP W L OTL RW GF GA GD Pts 1 y – Carolina Hurricanes 56 36 12 8 27 179 136 +43 80 2 x – Florida Panthers 56 37 14 5 26 189 153 +36 79 3 x – Tampa Bay Lightning 56 36 17 3 29 181 147 +34 75 4 x – Nashville Predators 56 31 23 2 21 156 154 +2 64 5 e – Dallas Stars 56 23 19 14 17 158 154 +4 60 6 e – Chicago Blackhawks 56 24 25 7 15 161 186 −25 55 7 e – Detroit Red Wings 56 19 27 10 17 127 171 −44 48 8 e – Columbus Blue Jackets 56 18 26 12 12 137 187 −50 48 East Division Pos Team GP W L OTL RW GF GA GD Pts 1 y – Pittsburgh Penguins 56 37 16 3 29 196 156 +40 77 2 x – Washington Capitals 56 36 15 5 29 191 163 +28 77 3 x – Boston Bruins 56 33 16 7 25 168 136 +32 73 4 x – New York Islanders 56 32 17 7 24 156 128 +28 71 5 e – New York Rangers 56 27 23 6 24 177 157 +20 60 6 e – Philadelphia Flyers 56 25 23 8 17 163 201 −38 58 7 e – New Jersey Devils 56 19 30 7 15 145 194 −49 45 8 e – Buffalo Sabres 56 15 34 7 11 138 199 −61 37 West Division Pos Team GP W L OTL RW GF GA GD Pts 1 p – Colorado Avalanche 56 39 13 4 35 197 133 +64 82 2 x – Vegas Golden Knights 56 40 14 2 30 191 124 +67 82 3 x – Minnesota Wild 56 35 16 5 27 181 160 +21 75 4 x – St. Louis Blues 56 27 20 9 19 169 170 −1 63 5 e – Arizona Coyotes 56 24 26 6 19 153 176 −23 54 6 e – Los Angeles Kings 56 21 28 7 19 143 170 −27 49 7 e – San Jose Sharks 56 21 28 7 15 151 199 −48 49 8 e – Anaheim Ducks 56 17 30 9 11 126 179 −53 43 North Division Pos Team GP W L OTL RW GF GA GD Pts 1 y – Toronto Maple Leafs 56 35 14 7 29 187 148 +39 77 2 x – Edmonton Oilers 56 35 19 2 31 183 154 +29 72 3 x – Winnipeg Jets 56 30 23 3 24 170 154 +16 63 4 x – Montreal Canadiens 56 24 21 11 20 159 168 −9 59 5 e – Calgary Flames 56 26 27 3 22 156 161 −5 55 6 e – Ottawa Senators 56 23 28 5 18 157 190 −33 51 7 e – Vancouver Canucks 56 23 29 4 17 151 188 −37 50 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round Second Round Stanley Cup Semifinals Stanley Cup Finals C1 Carolina 4 C4 Nashville 2 C1 Carolina 1 Central Division C3 Tampa Bay 4 C2 Florida 2 C3 Tampa Bay 4 1 Vegas 2 4 Montreal 4 E1 Pittsburgh 2 E4 NY Islanders 4 E4 NY Islanders 4 East Division E3 Boston 2 E2 Washington 1 E3 Boston 4 4 Montreal 1 2 Tampa Bay 4 N1 Toronto 3 N4 Montreal 4 N4 Montreal 4 North Division N3 Winnipeg 0 N2 Edmonton 0 N3 Winnipeg 4 2 Tampa Bay 4 3 NY Islanders 3 W1 Colorado 4 W4 St. Louis 0 W1 Colorado 2 West Division W2 Vegas 4 W2 Vegas 4 W3 Minnesota 3 My All-2021 NHL Team: LW | C | RW | Alex Ovechkin (WSH)-Leon Draisaitl (EDM) [A]-Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) Kirill Kaprizov (MIN)-Connor McDavid (EDM) [C]-William Nylander (TOR) Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA)-Auston Matthews (TOR) [A]-Mikko Rantanen (COL) Artemi Panarin (NYR)-Steven Stamkos (TBL)-Troy Terry (ANA) Alternates: Pavel Buchnevich (STL)-Nazem Kadri (COL)- Timo Meier (SJS) Kyle Connor (WPG)-Sebastian Aho (CAR)-Ryan Hartman (MIN) Johnny Gaudreau (CGY)-Evgeny Kuznetsov (WSH)-Drake Batherson (OTT) D | D | Victor Hedman (TBL) [A]-Adam Fox (NYR) Quinn Hughes (VAN)-John Carlson (WSH) Roman Josi (NSH)-Cale Makar (COL) Alternates: Morgan Rielly (TOR)-Seth Jones (CHI) Alex Goligowski (MIN)-Kris Letang (PIT) G Andrei Vasilevskiy (TBL) Frederik Andersen (ANA) Tristan Jarry (PIT) Alternates: Jack Campbell (TOR) Jacob Markström (CGY) Starting Lineup: Ovechkin-Draisaitl-Tarasenko;
