The refs almost never give that as a shooting foul. I’ve never seen it, though I know it’s happened, and i watch a lot of basketball.

I have to bring this out of the greys, because, holy hell.

Did you watch the DoPS video on Orpik? Did you also note that Orpik made no contact with Maatta, save for his head (with an extended elbow)?

The lateness of Orpik’s hit was egregious. Letang deserves a game. Orpik should feel solid with three.

I’ve been…

Let the bitching begin from both sides...

Of course, the Heat are likely much more concerned with the legal and public relations ramifications of Bosh having a serious medical episode on the court than about his long-term health.

Yeah but his presence would really help take a lot off the platelet of the rookies you know? Veteran presence etc. etc.

Sitting through Space Jam right now would not be as fun as you remember.

From the player’s perspective, I get it. I’m sure Bosh wishes he was out on the court with every fibrin of his being.

Letang’s skates come off the ice after contact. Thus, it is not charging. This issue has been covered, in-depth by the league.

Ovechkin leaves his feet for roughly 90% of the hits he puts out.

In 5 years Matt Murray will be one of the top goalies in the NHL. Dumb comment.

With exception of a hip check, it’s pretty damn hard to stay on your feet through the whole hit. I’m a Caps fan but it’s always pretty clear that people with this complaint have never played the game.

If someone has any actual evidence that the Penguins get fewer penalties and suspensions over the years than other teams, I’d love to see it. Otherwise, this storyline that they do is just whiny bullshit. It’s also amazing how all the alleged preferential treatment they get resulted in exactly zero titles or finals…

69 counts of indecent exposure? Nice.

That’s not a celebration, that’s a suicide attempt.

Stage IV Cancer “survivor” here (“”s because there are not guarantees, I’m about 5 months into remission and if I make it to 3 years, I’ve got a very very good chance).

There is nothing more correct than finally moving past the phrase “battle with cancer.” Honestly, Stu Scott had it right when he explained that…

I agree this gay went too far, and is a ridiculous asshole... but camera lenses feel “male gazey” and “rapey”? To a woman who has done “scandalous” photoshoots for many magazines and being on camera is literally her livelihood? No thanks, for the rape pseudo-comparison.

Spike Lee wishes his team was mediocre at best

Why is anyone?

Cormier should be alright, as long as he can keep Greg Howard from profiling him.

What in the 7 hells are you talking about?! I’m no blogger... but I am a fighter and I watched Jones handle Cormier with ease. Gustafsson gave jones far more issues. Cormier did all he could to not get stopped. This fight will be a joke. The only interesting thing about jones is if he is willing to stop taking star…
