You mean the Blues that the Wild dismantled in the first round last year?
The Wild are also 5-0 against Chicago this year.

They will be an underdog no matter who they play, but they have a punchers chance.

We only lose to one of those teams in the playoffs.

Don’t worry, if years of Wild fandom have taught me anything, we’ll somehow squeak by in the first round, and then get shithoused by the Blackhawks in the second. We look forward to it every season.

In baseball you never shout at the player holding the pine because if he becomes offended, he’s allowed to release his spores, which means you’ll have to engage your sweepers to protect your team’s tubes.

He studiously avoids noting that Kaeps is not owed that money from Denver, but San Fransisco. Denver is not currently obligated, so the fact that Kaepernick is “legally entitled to” the money Denver wants off the table really doesn’t have a whole lot to do with current negotiations, other than the fact that it is…

deadspin: where the facts usually don’t matter but we’re all still here anyway

Remember when you were racist if you thought Kaepernick was a flash in the pan? Ahhh, the good ole days of Deadspin.

yeah he’s been driving his value down with his wanting to leave SF and shitty play. Denver obviously think he’s overvalued and are willing to take him in for a price that is right for them. If he doesn’t think that’s a fair price he can tell them to screw and ride pine in SF while collecting the salary that SF owes him

Broncos: Hey we want you to come play for us, but we can only pay you “X”

I’ll start by saying I got no dog in this fight. Don’t care about the 49ers, the Broncos or Kaepernick.

No. The chief reason the Broncos want to restructure the contract isn’t because they’re a billion-dollar company trying to pay as little as they can to an employee, it’s because they think his current contract would count more against the cap than he’s worth, which is correct.

What a dumb article! Kap is an unhappy employee. He dislikes his company (49ers), he didn’doesn’t trust bosses, & dislikes his job description (not necessarily the starter, definitely not a centerpiece).

Im a little sad (but not surprised) that a Jez writer is unfamiliar with the USWNT, considering their awesomeness. Aren’t these the women about whom the President said playing like a girl meant playing like a badass? Come on.

Yeah, “flop” might be a little harsh. But I think he went down more out of reaction than pain.

“Flop”? That area (right above the groin) is one of the more sensitive parts of one’s body.

I think companies really need to get out of the habit on firing people because the internet demands a sacrifice. It only encourages people to continue using toxic behaviors to push their agendas.

If you can’t stand people posting their opinions in a comment section - which is the only reason it’s there, and is earning the page clicks to pay for your privilege - simply because they’re not parroting what you believe, then I suggest you stop sitting there feeling butthurt and join the Trump campaign, where you’ll…

Exactly, Albert. She is saying that YOU -with your legal US status, Christian last name, and job security - can afford to wait. Others cannot. If you see her logic as faulty, then please understand that it’s only bc of your misconceptions of what others want or need.

I’m calling Bullshit. There’s no fucking chance somebody is signing up to have sex with Kirstie Allie.
