"As a Hawks fan..."

That would make God pretty douchey.

So, in 2014 you find that the 2012 NHL MVP is "a good player" who "has major problems though". And because of this he is lumped into the "that's about it" portion of the Russian olympic team. Expert analysis.

This is, in a word, bullshit. The US roster is, at best, evenly matched with that of the Russian olympic team. If they played, the four best players on the ice would be Datsyuk, Malkin, Ovechkin, and Kovalchuk. An NHL GM would trade 3 TJ Oshies, 2 David Backi, and a Derek Stepan for any one of those players. The…

It's true, Semin has sucked for quite awhile. On the other hand, you did forget about Malkin, who is often a better overall player than either Ovechkin or Kovalchuk. Also, "Kovy" is Alexei Kovalev. Kovalchuk will never get that nickname...

Yeah, and they didn't call Karlsson for traveling either!!!

Predators Goalie Carter Hutton Probably Made the Save of the Season

Oh no! You had to endure all four of the games that Scott Secules lost in New England? and the 3-4 record that Scott Zolak compiled?!? and the horror of Tony Eason's over .500 stint for the Patriots, that merely included 1 lousy Super Bowl appearance! You poor, long-suffering fan!

I'm not a Patriots fan, but I think a lot of people are suffering from the recency effect here. If you discount the '85 season in which the Bears annihilated them in the Super Bowl, the Patriots franchise won exactly 1 playoff game in the first 34 years of their existence:

"They made the playoffs 19 times in their 42 year history....that is literally half of their existence."

"It's not like they were horrible for some 4 decades"

"NOT ME."

Unless there's a white, blood-stained suit in the ring. AWKWARD!!!

"Plenty of people are going to come out of the woodwork to say some variation on 'well you made the team mad so of course you got fired, this was your fault.' Those people are idiots, and here's why: your personal activism has nothing at all to do with your job, which means it has nothing to do with your bosses."

Oh, how wrong you are. Brooks is in and Jack Johnson is out...

" 'Orpik is one of our better d-men — "our" meaning US men's team — and would be donning the stars-and-stripes for sure in Sochi.'

I guess some other necrophiliac - good job!!!

"At this point of the game, it's a good no call, in my opinion"

Actually, the federal tax burden on a $157,000 income for a single individual (worst-case scenario) is $37,253....which is 23.7% of the income.
