Sloth Monsters are kraken some skulls

SHADES CREEK - The "kraken" (pronounced crack-en) is a legendary cephalopod-like sea monster of gigantic size in Scandinavian folklore. According to the Norse sagas, the kraken dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors. Authors over the years have postulated that the legend may have originated from sightings of giant squids known to have grown to 50 feet in length. The sheer size and fearsome appearance attributed to the kraken have made it a common ocean-dwelling monster in various works of fiction over the years including Herman Melville's 1851 classic novel Moby Dick. The kraken has been the focus of many superstitious sailors passing the North Atlantic, especially those from the Nordic countries due to the proximity and the kraken's Scandinavian origin. Throughout the centuries the kraken has been a staple part of seafarers' superstitions and linked to their innate ability to tell a tall tale. On July 23, 2020, the NHL's 32nd franchise located in Seattle took a page out of the BDFL's playbook and nicknamed their new team the "Kraken" obviously after the BDFL's Sloth Monsters. In Week 1 of the 2020 BDFL season, the Sloth Monsters cracked some skulls in a 45-20 defeat of the Mayors. The American saying "crack some skulls" literally means to hit someone in the face, or beat someone up. However, most of the time it is used metaphorically like in 1985 movie The Breakfast Club by Assistant Principal Richard Vernon played by Paul Gleason. Here is the theme song from The Breakfast Club - Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds (1985). As 1980s music goes, this one has stood the test of time, whether you like it, or not.

The RICKA Rule good through Week 2

TITLETOWN - "Well, if my starting quarterback hadn't got hurt". "So-and-so got cut for the salary cap". "Dumbass got arrested". We have heard them all and for way too long, so build a bridge and get over it. That bridge in the BDFL is the league's patented RICKA Rule. For the newbies, RICKA is an acronym for Released, Injured, Cut, Kicked-Off, or Arrested. If a drafted roster player falls under any of the above during the first two weeks of the season, you can drop him and add an undrafted player with no questions asked. Every once in awhile, some slicker will try to hoodwink The Commissioner, Iron Hand, about a player they don't want anymore, but trust me you don't want to try that. "Ricka" is also an old German name meaning "Power of the Wolf".
