Tammy Duckworth is a badass.

If it ever comes on when I'm grocery shopping, I feel like I need to be barreling down the aisles dodging old ladies and small children.

As I mentioned somewhere else in the comments, I'm a season ticket holder to the Boston Bruins, and go to pretty much every home game. The NHL have three TV time outs each period. (They occur at the first even strength play stoppage after the 14, 10 and 6 minute mark, unless that stoppage is due to an icing or goal.) …

I think it's revisionist nostalgia because Edwards is so polarizing. People either love Jack Edwards because he's an over the top unrepetent homer or you don't. Personally I think Edwards is brilliant.

Eh, I spend a lot of time with people from Melrose. I'm used to it.

(Side note: While I enjoyed this comment immensely, it would have been better if it had been President McKinley complaining about Buffalo)

I was at that Patriots-Chiefs game. That was a long time ago in NFL terms. KC will need a lot of help the next two weeks to make it. I think they can do it, but I don't trust that the Chiefs offense beyond Charles can do it.

It did make someone sense, especially as a Patriots fan, in that Kurt Vonnegut "One-eyed man in the world of the blind" way.

I didn't know Jello Pudding came in Rohypnol flavor

I feel like this is a Monty Python sketch waiting to happen.

I have season tickets for the Boston Bruins. The only reason I got tickets was because I was sick of listening to the Bruins home TV announcer because his call of the game was so boring. (Dale Arnold)

What becomes really acute at live games is the amount of dead time in an NFL game where nothing is going on. Last year my best friend and I went to Buffalo for the season opener. He decided for some reason to do the game stone cold sober. He couldn't believe how bored he got.

My favorite part of the glowing puck was how it was supposed to turn color and tail like a comet when a shot hit a certain speed threshold. Only NHL shots rarely ever hit that threshold or if they did, it was never a distance long enough to make the effect look really cool.

The robots annoy me, but they nail it with the music. I love the "Somber Fox Theme" for injuries as much as I love the regular theme. (Purely on a theme level. I'm not rooting for injuries.)

And he's an American.

Eh, I'm not worried about the rotation. Look at what Kansas City and the Giants did last year. Combined those teams really only had two starters that I would consider "aces or potential aces" and that's Bumgarner and Ventura. Everyone else who started that series were also rans or #3s. And that includes Shields,

MacGyver-era Teri Hatcher, Lois&Clark-era Teri Hatcher, or Desperate Housewives-era Teri Hatcher?

As a Patriots fan, I dislike other Pats fans who neglect the full history of the team. I'm old enough to remember the early 1990s, when in my youthful naivete I believed in Hugh Millen and thought Dick McPherson could be that coach to lead us to the promised land.

I too enjoy my hollowed out volcano base. Except when my little brother fills it with baking soda and vinegar for school. THAT'S NOT HOW MAGMA WORKS!

That reminds me of a Walker, Texas Rangers subplot where Chuck Norris goes undercover in Mexico and explains away his reddish brown hair and white skin as "Some Germans settled in Guadalajara"
