I am curious where the quotes from Ben Lerer at the meeting came from. Passed on by someone in the meeting?

A men’s player would’ve scored 73 points.

Defensive BPM isn’t a good way to calculate defense. It’s really just keeping track of blocks, steals and DRebs which you can do anyway and give a very limited idea of how defense is. Check out ESPN’s defensive Real Plus Minus to get a better idea of how a player’s overall D might be. Not perfect but it at least gives…

I’ve always thought it was because he signed to remain in (what was clearly a terrible situation) NY for more money when he could have went elsewhere (mainly Chicago) for slightly less. He’s never been proactive about finding a great place to win, like say, LeBron has. It has nothing to do with some strawman you think…

C’mon, it’s 2017. Aren’t we beyond obsessing over Piazza’s possible love of cured meats?

I think PG’s tend to get off easy on the Selfish player thing across the board. I agree with the premise that Thomas is basically Carmelo a foot shorter.

I’m good and drunk but my god, the lip syncing is egregious with these pop stars. How do people pay to see this shit live?!

This guy is on to something. Fans will pay big bucks to watch him handle a game just like NBA fans forked over massive dollars to watch Joey Crawford wreck perfectly good NBA games.

You think that’s awkward? You should have seen the rookie who asked Rex Ryan about footing the bill.

Meriweather: Mr. Belichick, the bartender was hoping he could get paid now.

I am not trying to win the internet or claim being right. I have no agenda or point to prove. The concept of doing intellectual labor for someone is new to me (a middle aged, white guy) and I am asking you to learn more. You made a comment that was interesting so I respectfully asked for your opinion. Nothing more,…

I don’t see any way that gets more than 5. Eakin doesn’t have any suspension history as far as I could find. Although Lundqvist appeared injured but returned to the game to pitch a shutout. And the penalty occurred in the first period and Eakin effectively was suspended for the entire game. And if the NHL agrees that…

I’ll allow it. Fuck Hank.

I’m all for goaltenders playing the puck and being an anchor in the defensive zone, but this crosses the line of too much involvement in the play by Hank. Eakin also did a good job really finishing his check too...

I see. So on one hand, Deadspin uses college game signs to bump up traffic - and on the other hand critizes signs jumping in line for their shot at attention.

They need to make a decision soon on whether to cancel the season or not. It’s almost two-thirds done, and once you’re into that final trimester, you’ve gotta see it through

Didn’t even know they had a league. Guess no one is promoting the product.

The players also get 15% of the profit from their own jersey sales. Judging by that arena, I’m guessing that isn’t lucrative.

the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, which played the NWHL in last year’s Outdoor Women’s Classic the day before the NHL’s Winter Classic—has operated for 10 years without paying its players.

Perhaps they can get Hamilton Nolan in to really press on getting blood from a stone.
