The general consensus is that he didn’t run anything at the draft, and that Sean McDermott called all the shots. It leaked last Wednesday that the scouting staff was apparently aware that they were all about to be fired.

I’m surprised they didn’t have another ambulance on site. Most buildings I’ve been in have two on site; not because of situations like this, but because it’s unbelievably awkward to have an ambulance on site and visible that can’t be used in the event of a serious medical problem for a guest because that might stop…

Yeah, I don’t see how Bucknor getting on the PA and announcing “I actually don’t know the rules of baseball, and I was actually trying to call intentional grounding on Verlander” over and over is going to improve the game experience.

Also, it looks like you are the guy keeping NHL hockey in Arizona, so I want to give you props for that. Hang in there, man. You deserve a lot better.

And, yes, “crushingly boring” is a wild exaggeration, but... hey, Deadspin!

There are no NHL franchises in the locations you speak of.

Seriously, though: empirically, it’s lower scoring, and while we’re not quite at a pre-’05 lockout clutch-and-grab game, as a lifelong NHL fan I’m starting to get a little bit bored again. The league keeps trending that way, and it’s been like that for awhile…

To be “fair,” it sort of got overshadowed by Rasmus Ristolainen murdering Jake Guentzel a little later in the game. But even that was a questionable hip check where Guentzel lost track of the puck about a second before Ristolainen labeled him. Crosby literally hit a guy in the dick. Is there no honor?

After Tuesday night’s brutal dick-shot to Ryan O’Reilly, he wouldn’t even come out of the dressing room to meet with his family and friends. They were escorted back to meet him, which... is not how that usually works. So, he has some sense of shame. But, seriously, what the fuck is this?

I like Crosby! He plays…

I was incredibly disappointed to learn that Dr. Prospero Gogo is, in fact, a medical doctor named Prospero Gogo, and his first name is not actually Dr. I feel like he should be disqualified on those grounds, since that makes him at least 75% less ridiculous.

Just a thing about the Zelda theme that I’ve noted with its use in this game: that’s a TERRIBLE name for it, because it is totally Link’s leitmotif now. It subtly creeps into the score every time he does something really heroic. SPOILERS...

I don’t think it’s limited to the Blood Moon. I’m pretty sure the code for time-based events outside of the day/night cycle itself is badly glitched. I’ve had other stuff happen that makes no sense, like:

My breath caught for a second there this afternoon.

Think I might have to set my alarm a little earlier than usual tomorrow. Y’know, just for the hell of it.

I see what you did there.

I do not approve.

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but that he stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

It’s easy to cheer for flag and country. It’s…

$130K? What constitutes a mid-level bureaucrat to you?

I’m a super casual baseball fan, so I was fucking shocked when I looked at the rule book and saw that this wouldn’t be fan interference. How the fuck did that not get written into the rules? Or is it covered by another rule that I’m not finding?

And bitter as hell about it, yes.

Well, this is sure to fan the flames of my undying hatred of Finland.

There is almost zero chance that one would choose to make that specific statement in this context without knowing how fucking stupid it was.

Shockingly, this is not unique. There’s a restaurant in the United Center with a view of the hallway that (I think) links the basketball and hockey dressing room hallways. There’s a glass wall, though, so not entirely the same.
