Great shout. I saw his hand & glove barely clear his head and something stirred in me. Thanks for the reminder. I loved JR. We coulda been a contender had he stayed healthy.

That was a touching scene. Brad Marchand is still an asshole, though.

Still only the second-worst gaffe I’ve seen at a press conference: I work in higher ed communications and public relations and once had the president of a university I was working for say something truly fucking stupid and baffling and out of place at a press conference, then say “Umm...that was off the record, by the…

Pay them.

I’m bemused that Izzo, who makes how many millions of dollars, behaved like a 5-year-old when interacting with an actual 18-year-old. He should be embarrassed. Would a professor at this esteemed academic institution be forgiven for acting the same way?

You’re right, he doesn't work in an office. He works at a fucking school.

Pay them, then

yea. when I’ve told this story people have said “just find him on the internet” as if I haven’t tried. I’m not one to message 14 people with the same name not knowing where he moved or what he’d look like after a quarter century. I’d feel like an ass, and also a stalker. maybe he doesn’t even remember me. “this weirdo…

Now I think I’m going to cry...

I sympathize, myself and my childhood best friend were inseparable from about the ages of 6 to when I moved just after my 11th birthday, also just a couple years before e-mail became a thing never mind social media.  All these people screaming “But you had regular mail!” at you, highly overestimate the desire for a…

fortunately, he’s still impossibly handsome

He broke his arm blocking a shot, after he scored a goal and assisted another.

Back in the mid-90's we had a kid move to our area in New Jersey. It was middle school (and NJ) so basically everyone treated him like crap except for me. He lasted one-year at the school. At the end of the school year I got a call from him telling me he had to move again and that he “just wanted to say thank you…

Dan, is that you? Hi!

...and now you probably don’t even remember his name, and if you would have stayed there you would have inevitably had a terrible falling out after you caught him sleeping with your girlfriend, so call your mom and dad and thank them for moving.

This reminds me of when we moved out of state in the summer after my fourth grade year. It was before the current age of communication and technology had taken hold. So I had to say goodbye to my friend forever because we both knew there was no way for us to keep in touch. That’s one of the memories I can’t wait to…

Yeah this is one of those cases where I’m glad Holmes got caught, but I have little sympathy for the people she defrauded. She should/could have been easily found out had anyone done their due diligence, but everyone was so eager to catch the next big wave. Hopefully they learned a valuable lesson.

Theranos’s alleged technology was clinical pathology testing. There are doctors who oversee this testing in practice: they’re called clinical pathologists.

Actually, I think it was going wide.
