“It’s too bad I don’t have a functioning dick.”

Fuck, the way the headline reads, I was expecting some dive by a Flyer I’ve never heard of trying to get people to feel sorry for them and their playoff performance thus far. This was not that.

He just always says the wrong thing, like he has cancer of the mouth or something.

Nice one, Leno.

I love hockey but moments like these make me wonder if the game can ever be “safe”. Surprised there haven’t been many full paralyses or even deaths

For real victims of PTSD there is evidence that suggests that avoidance of triggers can actually prolong the effects of the trauma and retard recovery, so even in those cases it’s looking like trigger warnings may not be such a great idea.

That’s asking a little too much.

You mean be a Boy Scout

No, this is gross. For $85K you could have a decent 1BR in DC.

Not goodness of heart at all. We’re keeping them on the payroll because they’re worth what we’re paying them (less than $15/hr). The same reason we keep anyone. And as soon as people are no longer worth what we’re paying them, we’ll have to pay them less. In the case of being worth less than $15, if it’s the legal…

My goodness, this could totally be true nowadays around here.

Also, let’s be real. Mason hasn’t played great, but the problem is the offense. They have scored two goals in three games, gone 0-14 on the PP and haven’t put any pressure on the Caps PK, nor have they been able to clear the front of the net on the PK. This team isn’t built for a playoff run...their blueline is still…

Yeah, the tag was the best part of that play.

We were sick of the bullshit. This was the most fitting send off for Ed Snider.

Points removed from Timothy Burke because the announcer were just relaying the umpire’s initial call, which was wrong. The first base umpire invokes the Infield Fly Rule and calls the hitter out, then the umpires discuss it together and make the correct call. Seemed like the announcers got it right faster than the…

Rules are pretty clear. It doesn’t say which direction the puck has to be kicked in, it just says that a distinct motion, which that was, and it deflected off a person, not a stick, so by the letter of the rule, it should have been waived off, without question. It’s one of the few rules with little ambiguity. So this…

Um no.

What? No. So if a player kicks a puck and it cleanly beats to goalie (never touching him) it’s waived off, but the same exact play counts as a goal of the goalie manages to get a piece of it before it goes in?

As a slightly drunken homer: fuck that bullshit. While I’m pretty sure it was in the net, it’s because he fucking KICKED it at the net.

Counterpoint, Many of those QBs were taken first overall because while QB is certainly important, the QBs themselves were highly ranked. A better comparison is probably the “who moved up to draft a QB” post from Barnwell above. Another good comparison is only looking at the QBs since the rules were tweaked protecting…
