Not really. It’s more like weight classes in boxing.

Why does it have to be measurable? Why not e.g. a vote of female athletes? Or if you want to reduce conflicts of interest, how about a vote of retired female athletes?

This post doesn’t address the key point — who should decide who competes in women’s sports?

I wonder what Andrew Raycroft was doing last night.

There’s video somewhere (can’t find it now) of the inside of mission control during the Columbia accident. If you’re listening to the audio feed, all is cool and calm until the flight director says “Lock the doors”. But on the video, staff are gathered in small groups with obvious worry and anguish on their faces.

The legends tell of the time long ago. Great Skee, with feet made of wind and the strength of 10 men, cast magic over the northern ponds and played the frozen game even in the warm spring time, shooting a puck made of gold with a stick made of diamonds, drinking from the cup made of silver.

If this ends up with McDavid owning the Oilers, I say go for it.

It’s somehow fitting that Buffalo can’t even tank right.

“remain mediocre all the while keeping McDavid by making sure he’s a top paid player”

Chiarelli’s got to go, but Katz hired him. Speaking of which, whatever happened to that story about Katz being a huge creep around women? Seems to me that happened a couple of years too early for #MeToo.

This is a terrible take. Can you please send me your phone number so I can cancel my subscription.

I once heard a park ranger tell me that, yes, bald eagles were technically birds of prey, but they also loved garbage and were really excellent carrion eaters. The pigeons of the Pacific, if you like.

Over-under on number of seasons until McDavid sits out and demands a trade?
