So your point is the Patriots are not loyal to aging free agents, and also that Revis, a 29-year-old in a league where 30 is the “flip side”, should have been more loyal to the Patriots? Because that’s the conversation you’re jumping into, someone calling Revis greedy for doing what’s best for him without regard to…

Beyond how stupid your comment is, ESPN traditionally underpays their on-air talent compared to the other networks. So even your name is idiotic.

My god. I’m sorry.

Do actual sports fans still watch ESPN? I thought it was now strictly for people that needed to be fed an opinion they could share at work to pretend they like sports.

All 60 of their wins came against the best teams? That doesn’t sound right. How many teams are the best teams? All of them?

Yeah, the Pats have always been soooo fucking good to high priced veterans. Just ask Richard Seymour, Ty Law, Logan Mankins, Randy Moss, Lawyer Malloy, Deion Branch, uh, Tom Brady

Literally every goalie does that. There hasn’t been a goalie that tries to stand on high shots and drop on low ones in like 20 years. Even Brodeur butterflied on anything in close. If you think about the angle a puck has to take to get to the top of the net, it makes perfect sense. If you don’t believe me, lay on the…

The puck stayed perfectly flat. My first instinct was it was deflected, but in slo-mo a deflection would have made that puck go from perfect saucer to wobbling slightly. I think it’s more likely that he lost sight in the crowd... people forget that a black puck on a variable color background can make stopping a long…

I think any of the 6’6”ish goalies are susceptible to looking very “average” because the holes under the arms, between the legs, etc. are bigger and that gives a much greater chance for “soft” goals that go “through” the goalie. Most big guys also open up a lot to move. When a bigger goalie can stay compact moving…

Thanks for sharing these.

Wow. I’m sorry. Those are some amazing pictures. Sounds like quite a guy.

I’ve been watching games from the 60s and 70s on NHL gamecenter (don’t judge, I do weird shit when I get high). I noticed that they blew the play dead much faster when there were puck battles on the wall. Like instantly — as if it was a covered puck. There was tons of grabbing, etc, but by keeping the game off the…

I get not allowing “distinct” kicking (for safety), and any use of the hands (obviously). But there’s no risk in a header and it’s probably better than having idiots waving sticks up there (like Shaw started to (I think I’m setting some sort of parenthetical record in this comment so I’m just going to go with it…

Also the standard specified by the NFL collective bargaining agreement. It’s the standard they had to use.

More likely than not is the relevant legal standard because it’s the set out in the CBA. This is like saying they “only” proved a criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt — that’s the standard that matters in that instance.

because a close range pass was made to the wrong side. Try taking a handoff when the QB turns the wrong way. RB might be credited the fumble, but it wouldn’t be his fault.

Disagree — not many teams work to the high center of the zone on a 5-on-3. Just like a 4-on-3 it’s much more effective to work high-low and to spread your points to make the high forward have to run around. Working to the high slot is a bad plan, as it’s where the PK forward wants to be, and having 3 guys high like NY…

Usually you want to avoid the center of the high slot on a 5 on 3 because the defensive forward has to play it like a zone and split the middle (3 man PK is a triangle, 4 is some variation on a square or diamond). This powerplay is a more standard 5 on 4 look because that high middle would be more likely to be vacant…

St. Louis was the guy supposed to be centered in the top of the zone, he just missed the pass. He’s standing on the Stanley Cup logo when the puck gets in his feet (it looks like the passer thinks St. Louis is right, rather than left-handed and passes to the wrong side of him — not really Marty’s fault).

You’re the only dumbass trying to say if Hernandez lies, then everyone is lying. That’s the strawman I’m criticizing you for arguing with in my prior comment.
