Looks mushier than Geno Smith’s lunch.

If he were to say that about Manny, no one bats an eye. But Pedro is an affable, personable, warm guy with a sense of humor and a fantastic way of communicating what he's thinking. Comparing him to Rain Man doesn't even make sense.

The NHL did this in Vegas, but only to validate the market. It was a condition of the owner’s expansion bid. In this instance, LA is like the NHL’s Quebec in that you already know you’ll sell out a full season in a matter of weeks (so the NHL did not pre-sell tickets in Quebec).

Yeah, screw that underdog Liverpool noise. That’s purely BS.

Here’s the problem with what you just said, in American terms:

Led is both the past and past participle form of the verb to lead (which rhymes with bead).

And Bob Kraft just handed over a first round pick, a 4th round pick, and $1M over this POS case by the NFL.

Oh, hey, David Gardi’s dad was an assistant coach in the NFL. Anyone venture to guess what team? Or where Gardi grew up?

Did you think you’re bringing new information to the table by including links? The hypothesis is that Kelly doesn’t like black players but the two data points in question saw him swapping one black player for another in that position. Either the only two cases of evidence are both Type II errors or the hypothesis is…

The simpler explanation is that there was a faction in the locker room that was challenged by Kelly’s change in attitude and pushed this narrative because it was convenient on their way out of town. Reid was hardly a disciplinarian over team or family. It may sound unfair to invoke family but a judge publicly called…

The cycle was about to repeat itself with Farrell, Cherington, Ramirez, and Sandoval playing the roles of Francona, Epstein, Crawford, and Gonzalez. Fortunately, this is a sign that things should go in a different direction.

Inevitable? Because he was disliked? How long was Harry Sinden disliked in Boston?

I didn’t suggest it’s cultural. My suggestion is that just because a player doesn’t perform well at that level in Germany (especially potential star players on a national team) does not mean they won't have an international impact.

Hey, uh, not for nothing but he’s not the only one to struggle in Germany. Remember Landon Donovan’s struggles with Bayer Leverkusen? He didn’t set the world on fire in Germany’s third or fourth tiers, then came back to the states and just went off. I know the word is he didn’t fit the culture or whatever, but just…

You were saying?

This is like a video game where Brady beat every team in the league and made it to the top. Now he has to face the final boss.

So he has to turn over data on all of his calls, text messages, and emails to the league that has kept exactly nothing from the press throughout the entire debacle? Even in the court of public opinion, that falls flat.

It's really sad that the U.S. judicial system does a better job of looking out for players than the NFLPA does.

Never mind that Colin Cowherd has a hard-on for how responsible and smart hockey players are, even as many of them enter the junior hockey circuit early in their teens. Some go to school if they can’t cut it as an NHLer at 18, then leave early and don’t finish their degrees. The percentage of NHL players with degrees…

I feel compelled to add that as a Georgian, he is the literal definition of caucasian. As in, of the Caucasus Region. I understand that it’s all relative (which is what you’re saying). But objectively, he’s white.
