Same thing happened to Boucher in Tampa Bay. Made the conference finals one year, and never again did as well.

Bobby Clarke spent the vasy majority of his hockey career being as big an asshole as possible, either on the ice or as an exec (note the fueding with Lindros noted above, and his longtime friendship and support with corrupt players association head Alan Eaglson, who screwed countless players out of pensions).

I’ll tell you what, McDaniels may have been an ass about this whole thing, but perhaps he was a wise ass, so to speak. Why take the job if Luck’s shoulder is made of down feathers and grease?

Years later, in an autobiography, Fleury would alleged that that scout, Graham James, sexually abused him. (James would serve two years in prison after pleading guilty to the charges Fleury brought against him.)

Yeah, I thought he was fine. His “she got married” comment was fucking cringeworthy, but he’s been OK by me otherwise. He’s also been fairly self-deprecating about his own career (“they hated when I ran first, because I always took the wrong lines”) which I thought was pretty cool.

Just a handy reminder that Polian is the wrinkled twatwaffle who had the rules changed (along with his accomplice Jeff Fisher, both on the rules committee, Polian headed it) regarding defensive play because he was upset his precious Peyton got his ass kicked in New England in the playoffs. And then the next year after…

Someone did buy it, though. Hell, I dunno who would buy it, only that someone would.

I mean, honestly, who wouldn’t? This isn’t a player’s or staff’s ring, where you earned it as part of helping the team win the SB in whatever small way you could. This is a family/friends ring.

Are you actually this much of a shithead?

There is no “right” way this era will end. Maybe they’ll collapse, maybe they’ll fade into mediocrity, maybe they’ll find another QB after Brady.

Respectfully, as another Pats fan, that strikes me as a complete overreaction. Brady might be 40 but obv he can still play a little bit.

This is a genuinely cool moment, no cynicism required. Reminds me of the Kenyan cross country skier Philip Boit finishing last in the 1o KM event in 1998. The winner, Bjorn Daehlie, told the officials to postpone the medal ceremony until Boit finished, and greeted him at the finish line. Boit later named one of his…

Never mind, she’s covering the Olympics here. I just missed her posts.

And Hannah? Did she leave too?

+2 pillows.

I’d get really wacky and make it a Vauxhall.

I want to get rid of it because:

It’s funny she wants to bail now; she even admits that the 49ers might be one of the more interesting teams going forward because of Jimmy and the remaking of their team. Just when I think I’m out....
