Your Afternoon Dump... Where play-off means play-in
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
I love words.
I especially love words that make sense on one level, but make no sense on another.
Like ‘jumbo shrimp’, or the way ‘campus’, which originally meant ‘open field,’ now means ‘a bunch of buildings.’
Or in this case: the C’s playoffs start with a play-in… play your way in, so you can play your way off.
Normally — when that used to be a thing — the C’s have some downtime between the end of the regular season and the playoffs.
