I didn’t know he was an alt-right fascist..

Nice work Barry, you’ve hit a home Ron with this one. 

If you want to be pedantic, that is still “spending.” And the government still threw billions at the auto industry (and GM in particular) and never saw much in the way of returns, aside from postponing the closures by a decade, give or take. 

this is a great time to reflect on just how easy it will be for ~2500 people to “just find another job” all at once.

+1 Would watch a Netflix cooking show of this name

The Lions roster is full of weapons, in the Scottish twitter sense of the word

You guys should subcontract out to a bunch of Canadians for the day.

Oh sorry, “Regatta Day” 

It’s crazy how far people will go to protect the status quo. It’s really all it is, I think. I know this person and I’m quite sure my judgement is sound so he should be insulated from the consequences of his actions and I shouldn’t have to introspect about my perceptions and choices. 

The fact that Simcoe Day isn’t even on here invalidates the whole list.

That’s odd - I thought his job was carrying water, not clubs

Oh sure, you guys pose as pro-labour but are happy to throw Windhorst under the bus for his silent protest (of withholding from the American public the vital detail that it was Chicken Tortilla soup)

I get liking Thanksgiving and I think the “here’s how you debate your Uncle” stuff is mostly BS.

LOL! Maybe the only competitor for biggest fiasco in the NBA (non-albatross contract category). I would have mentioned him but Houston isn’t exactly out of the spotlight 

CuJo!!

Yeah, but I mean who is left from then (senior management aside)?

I mean, I think the reality of Hitchcocks hiring (at least, the planned duration etc) is close to what you describe - but why would he come out of retirement to be a glorified interim coach? 

I could see a team having some vague interest in swapping a half-decent vet on an expiring deal for him, which would be a win-win in that they’d get a player with some (???) potential, and the 76ers would get a guy that can earn 10 minutes a night and more cap room next year.

Yeah - it’s compounded, I think, by teams pressing the panic button like we’re seeing the last couple of weeks; you don’t usually fire the coach (to look like you’re trying to save the season) and then turn around and hire some prospect who is maybe not going to immediately get the best out of your players (not that…

Can we talk about Leon Draisaitl? I don’t watch enough Oilers games to say for sure but it seems to me like if a guy needs to be put on a line with McDavid to produce like a first liner, he’s probably not worth (nearly) $9m/year.
