I hardly put any of the blame for the disappointing year on outside forces. Rather, I place the blame on the players, their shortcomings, and their inability to keep their energy levels up. Don’t know where you weirdly see excuse-making going on here.

I can’t wait for all of them to be eliminated.

L.A. is out for the first time since 2009—the last time the Flames were in—and there’s no single culprit to blame: it’s been a down year for a number of their stars, Jonathan Quick has been pedestrian, and the Kings were largely awful on the road. Justin Williams described the feeling of going home in April:…

He should just swing at anything pitched down the centaur

It really is remarkable that the Yankees managed to make A-Rod a sympathetic figure.

black cops can be bad, too. when minority cops kill minority citizens, they're still the tool of the majority.

Holy Fuck you're right. Maybe he was running towards a loaded cannon. Better put 8 rounds in him just be sure.

Just two things of note

Fucking a. I came in wanting to say "Not for me". And its true. Every cop I've ever met, even when I fucked up as a teenager, was nice (or at least... respectfully assertive).

it's impossible to understate how poorly this stuff reflects on the US to outsiders. a while ago I had someone from Kenya ask me about all the cop shootings going on back home, saying how horrible it is. you know things are bad when someone from Kenya shows you sympathy for shit happening in your home country.

No. All of my hobbies are extremely useful and meaningful.

Both scenarios are shitty.

“The principal told Love that it wasn’t anything personal”

Can we get a number to call, or an address? It’s funny what a thousand phone calls can do.

if any of his theatrics ever did anything. I doubt that it did and there are others reasons the laws changed.

And that’s how I met your mother, kids. Wait.

It’s like I tell staff of my game server:

The stoppable force meets the movable object.

If it's any consolation to Yanick Moreira, based on his ability to lose a game with bad goaltending, he's just been drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers.

If you're Sevillan on the pitch, what are you on the bench?
