I mean, LA clearly cares about NFL football. Just not necessarily about Chargers football (or the Rams necessarily either, judging from all the red at yesterdays game). But the owners don’t care who the people sitting in the stands cheer for. They paid for tickets, parking, probably a lot of beer and stuff, and their…

I’d like to start a petition.. if the Dolphins go 0-16 then we no longer have to witness the 1972 Dolphins celebrate when the last undefeated team losses... watching them celebrate is insufferable.  

Officers: You can leave now.

No one cares about goal differential. Score 1000 goals, but at some point you should probably run back and act like you have been there before. Instead of celebrating scoring vs people who started playing yesterday. 

I’m sorry that you had this shitty experience. I can tell you that you I gave up a job in a field I love — teaching, not baseball — for just this reason, and it’s best fucking decision I’ve ever made.

You can’t beat the Pac 12 After Dark for shear excitement.

Sherman burned it first.

This is all so weird to me. I’ve been a Pens fan since 1987 (specifically, 1987) and I honestly only recently realized how much the world deeply hates the Penguins. There’s a *huge* part of me that wants to scream, “Confirmation bias! The NHL is a crappy league and things get called badly all the time! The Pens…

Yeah, the NHL wants Crosby to win. That must be why the let the refs swallow the whistle when he’s getting mauled.

Here’s the easy counterpoint that disproves any “pro-Penguin” bias by the NHL:

Glad the Caps own the two worst trades in hockey history. See also: Martin Erat <<<>>>> Filip Forsberg.

If Ted Leonsis invited me over to talk hockey the first thing I would ask him is why the Capitals logo is set in all lowercase letters.
