No, not all of us are traveling wizards, but some of us (you) are fucking trolls looking for an argument when it isn't there. Cunt rash. Get a life.

Since you apparently missed this in response to you pointing out LA won the cup two years ago, and would rather lecture, here it is again: "I said LA should be an exception given that it's a big market that can actually support a team. Not to mention the Gretzky years in LA; there's a good history there."

Or you could just stop arguing, for no apparent reason, with someone who agrees with you. I didn't know my "original statement" was sworn testimony, christ. You win, champ.

I don't understand why one would want Buffalo Chicken dip when you get just eat actual Buffalo wings. Isn't it just blue cheese and wing sauce mixed together?

With all due respect, that means you're eating shitty pizza.

SARCASM SUCKS!!

Wasn't trying to pick on Nashville, and it's nice to hear that folks are into it there. I bet in certain southern markets (Tennessee, like Kentucky, is south but it's got some unique elements that distinguish it from, say, Alabama) the NHL could do well, it just seems they've kind of thrown darts at big cities, hoping…

I said there's a great history there and that LA deserves a team. Splitting hairs, man.

Maybe Halifax and Saskatoon or Regina? I bet those places would support their own team. I would also add more northern US cities in place of the Nashvilles and the Floridas, etc. Put a team back in Hartford, add Milwaukee, Portland, maybe Baltimore.

I am aware, and I said LA should be an exception given that it's a big market that can actually support a team. Not to mention the Gretzky years in LA; there's a good history there, but not in Arizona or Fla or ATL and so on...

Clearly you haven't been to Camden.

Although I'm not a huge hokey fan, I completely agree — why the hell are their NHL teams in Florida and Texas but not Milwaukee or more of Canada? I will say in California's defense, at least the Sharks are good and they have a real fan base. And LA is at least a big market, so I can see that. But Dallas? Tampa?…

Scalper, I hardly know her!

To your second point, about whether a sideline reporter should or shouldn't be scared, it's up to the reporter really. Even sideline interviews are generally tame and formulaic. I've done them, though not for anything bigger than a division 2 college game. I'm a six foot, 210 lb guy, but if one of those 350 lb lineman…

If you're calling bullshit on the idea that she was "petrified," I don't disagree with that. Surprised and caught-off guard, certainly. Maybe Knapp was projecting onto how she would feel if doing that interview, but I think Knapp's tweet is completely innocuous. Saying a colleague looks petrified because some…

Kanye, as a rapper/lyricist, doesn't hold a candle to any of the greats, not even Jay-Z. Imagine Kanye trying to battle KRS or Rakim or even Diamond D? He's not terrible, but he doesn't come close to a lot of rappers. Son.

He had his moments in the early oughts, but yea, if he came out in 93 or 94, at most he'd be near the end of the top 50. Production-wise, I would say genius is not that far off. He has made some killer beats.

Talk about trolling. Where did the other poster insult you? I don't think the Deadspin Author is a race-bating troll, but I do think he is wrong on some points here. Learn to lighten your response. I agree with you on the Knapp tweet, too.

While I don't like Sherman and think he's an arrogant prick (I'm also a 49er fan), I actually think he's really well spoken. He was flying off the handle but he didn't curse and he didn't insult anyone else but Crabtree. As far as rants — and it was still a rant — it was rather eloquent.

I'd like to see you interview someone who's shouting in your face, who's also three times your size. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about, so chill out, tough guy.
