Suffice it to say I’m not a rocket scientist, but flying to 35,000 feet and launching a rocket does not low earth orbit make.

Surely you jest...you don’t even have to be a Scotch snob to know that Johnnie Red is absolute piss. Chivas is somewhat passable if you’re mixing it (ie. Rusty Nail, etc). Dewar’s is for college guys who want to impress people by drinking Scotch but know absolutely nothing about it. Plus those are all blends, and…

Absolutely disagree...the Oilers-Ducks series was awesome, Rangers-Sens and Caps-Leafs were fantastic. Even the Flames-Ducks was great and not as one-sided as the final results would have you believe. Chicago getting swept and the Blues series were whatever, but overall this year has been killer IMO.

I’ll assume that you were a little kid when this happened, and it was in the 1930s, because $20 does not buy you even an average bottle of Scotch.

WHOOOOOAAAAA if you heard this from a French Canadian then all bets are off. I assume if they were complaining about a group from Toronto then they were at *least* somewhat separatist Quebecers which means their opinions mean nothing and they haven’t thought for one microsecond about their place in the universe.…

On behalf of Blue Jays fans to the rest of the league: please believe us, we’re not all fuckheads, throwing beer and running on the field during live play. I have no idea why this keeps happening at the Dome but I for one am totally OK with coming down *really* hard on people that do this.

Republican Senators Reportedly Using A Bogus Argument

You should feel bad for every one of those except The Wizard. And maybe Cloud Atlas. Also “Speed” should be on your list.

Actually as it turns out, growing up and not reading kids’ books anymore is the best thing since the books.

While both those guys (particularly Goodell) are far from universally loved, no one gets booed like Bettman does. Also the commissioner’s job is to oversee and promote as best he can, the game of hockey, not simply to be an errand boy for the owners, although in this case that’s largely what he’s done. To say his job…

Oh sure season tickets are sold out for their first season, and maybe their 2nd, but we’ll see 5 or 6 years from now when they’ve been playing terrible hockey for a while with a bunch of players no one knows, and people are over the initial excitement of a new team and a nice building.

That drives me fucking nuts and I’m not even a Leafs fan. All you see are goddamn suits in the Platinum seats, it’s super bullshit. My parents live in Calgary, and one thing I absolutely love is when I’m in town and we get to a game, a) it doesn’t cost a billion fucking dollars and b) like EVERYONE is wearing a jersey…

Windsor’s new slogan: “Possibly better shwarma than Ottawa!” Beats their current one: “Now only the 3rd smelliest city in Ontario, behind Sudbury and Hamilton!”

The only problem with all the succession stuff is that if it is indeed concluded that Trump won the election illegally (which is to say, he and others in the Republican leadership knew about and promoted Russian interference in the election), there’s no precedent to remove his entire cabinet and hold a new election,…

Oh agreed, Pittsburgh with the Steelers in town (although we’ll what happens once Big Ben is gone) is a brutal hockey town. And I can’t even believe Phoenix still has a team, it’s an absolute joke and it is beyond stunning that they’ve lasted this long. Ditto for goddamn Vegas...what a fucking farce. Bettman is the…

I’ll agree with you on Abdelkader...not real impressive stats. I think he had like 2 20 goal seasons or something but yeah, not even close to being worth the 4 something million a year he’s getting. And yes, the management has made some other cringeworthy decisions, but this kind of stuff is far from isolated to…

ABSOLUTELY. Pitchers are still probably the biggest cause of delays, but sweet christ on a bike, fucking hitters taking a goddamn eon to step out, re-do their gloves, adjust their helmet and take 15 fucking mini-swings before the pitcher throws, holy fuck. Hitters get to step out ONCE and call for time ONCE and that’s…

Unbroken...like 25 straight years of playoff appearances? Also I realize the Wings (or anyone else) aren’t in the same category as the 80s Isles or Oilers, but this is because the nature of the market now basically guarantees that no franchise can possibly keep a championship squad together for 4 years straight. I…

Actually the Red Wings are rightly called a dynasty because of 4 championships in 11 years, but thanks for coming out. And 25 seasons in a row making the postseason is far from meaningless, only 2 teams have had streaks longer (and the Blues also had a 25 year run although no Cups to show for it). It implies a…

Someone’s gonna miss Bobby Moynihan? Might be the most shocking story I’ve read all year.
