Two consummate dickheads, if everything I've ever heard whispered is true.

Antwaan Stralman.

To be clear, I meant Brad Richards like "the contract wouldn't have been signed without a future escape clause", not Brad Richards like "will produce at a 59 points over 82 games pace before being bought out".

So when you said "just ignore her", you only meant physical acts and screaming in her face wasn't covered?

mister d

Isn't "makes her sympathetic" part of the same justification for condemning the comedian who called SHS a soulless liar?

mister d

That only works if you can get everyone else to ignore her. You can't, which means the next best thing you can do is make her public life as shitty as possible.

mister d

Seems like this is the starting point for contracts where the next amnesty is in mind. Evander Kane is the new Brad Richards.

mister d

And the counterpoint is that there's a wide gap between "works for" and "is vital in shaping public perception".

mister d

More concisely, separating PFT and barstool then arguing for that separation is their design.

mister d

But you understand, because god knows Portnoy understands, that it’s symbiotic, right? Wihout barstool, maybe they don’t have these same high profile positions, but just as importantly without “them”, barstool becomes just another one note (latently-bigoted) TITS N SPORTS blog without broad mainstre...

if it wasn't I'm not sure why it had to be stated that violence shouldn't be condoned (I can't call it violence, but at the same time, this is the shit that fuels the conservative echo chamber, so I can't endorse it) Nothing fuels them more than being called racist but I don't think that should sto...

I could be Mr. Stupid, but I wouldn't put that into the inherent evil bucket with capitalism jobs like "marketing cigarettes to kids" or "working to keep regulations soft so your company can continue to flood the market with pain pills", but it definitely has a higher chance to c...

Too much everything.

Also, the military isn't a great analogy here. The military serves the country, not the singular personality that is the current president. If you want to say being in the military is bad because the US is itself bad and the military serves to carry out its bad acts, sure. If you want to say being i...

- I'm hot and cold on the "taking the body" strategy, but damn did it seem to work in G6. The Caps were just crushing the Bolts on every damn shift. It was hard to watch at times. Tampa needs to figure out a way to move the puck quickly and beat them on the counter. Caps weren't taking th...

So you're on the side that thinks PFT's entire role in being hired and continually employed by Barstool is that he's just a conduit for normalizing their operations? No. So there's no world in which a dude wanted to get greater exposure for his shtick and went with Barstool for the ability to blog ...

mister d

Because everything is black and white. There's no such thing as nuance or critical thinking here. How is “PFT is nice and good but Barstool is bad” not the black and white version of this? The gray, and the shade of it, depends on how nice and good you believe someone can be if they’re the normaliz...

Challenging that line of thinking it almost the entire point of the article.

We've been away for about 5 years and now we're back and are there a lot less music docs (or maybe docs in general)?

mister d

A very loud "no comment" in there.

You’re thinking tornados. Sound similar.

What the hell was up with the Kucherov non-backcheck on DSP’s goal? That was horrific.

Sorry.

The HCs here are only worth it getting in the fall, when they are from New York. The Washington State HCs we get the rest of the year are much smaller, harder, and less juicy. I'm going to avoid the obvious ... by phrasing this as "am I the only one who prefers those first two characteristics ...

Perhaps you're forgetting about the Rockets' regular season record?

If you accept the conventional wisdom that the deal that brought Reaves to Vegas was just a throwaway deal to fuck the Jets out of Brassard in case the Knights happened to face the Jets in the conference finals and Reaves scores the conference winning goal I’m not sure I would bet against George Mc...

That comment makes me want to stab you.

Ashley Feinberg.

You don’t root for a team that gets an additional 1st if a quarter of their 2013-14 squad wins with Tampa.

Fuck Morneau.

Seems almost impossible to believe they didn't know atleast in general terms given they cut ties instantly, no?

I read an interview with Dave from a month or a few ago and ... I don't think I buy this is the first they've heard of it. Maybe the specifics, but he quit the day the lawsuit was filed or something.

I would have said no a month ago but fuck it, just go for it. Great album.

Quiet kid. Lone wolf. No explicitly stated ideology. No one saw this coming. Good family. This sort of thing doesn't happen here. Thoughts and prayers. Now isn't the time. Don't politicize this. The real issue is mental health. Guns don't kill people. An armed guard prevents this. Cost of freedom. C...

Related to ItAOtS, we were in an ice cream shop on Monday and they were playing the title track and Missus D said "why do I know this" and I told her why and she said "his voice is weird but I think I like it" so all the attempts to let this one grow may have worked. Will give it...

Save this for when the Rangers trade for him, but I can't root for a Patrick Kane team. He's the grossest.
