I like Jim Hughson a lot too. Maybe because he was the NHL video game voice, but I just find his voice and tone nearly as perfect as Emrick’s.

This is his game log from that time period — I count 13 points in February, March and April. That’s half his season’s production in about half the games. How instrumental is that? I’d say you’re creating a narrative independent of the facts at least as much as you’re accusing Barry of it. He had 10 points in the three…

He was pulled because the game was over, not because it was his fault. Coach looked to him and gave the slight nod like “you want to rest?” That’s a mercy pulling.

The Rangers are generally winning games 2-1, with a few exceptions. No one is going to put up points, even in the wins. Nash has been playing fine, he’s a plus player and the team is winning. When he was in Columbus everyone said it didn’t matter how many goals he scored because he was losing, now he’s winning and it…

and this

In 1776 we don’t win without France. In 1812, we didn’t win, period. 1918 was pretty much over before we even got there. The Germans punched themselves out trying to win before we got there, so maybe we take a small amount of credit, but the French, Brits (including Australia and Canada) did the heavy lifting, ‘45…

Me, this morning:

You dumb bastard. I was trained to break unions. I choose to practice an entirely different type of law because I saw what bullshit the justifications were. In trying to impugn my credibility you made an argument based on the 180 degree opposite of the truth. I guess that shouldn’t be surprising, you haven’t said a…

The “thoroughbred” industry, incidentally is just as shitty to people (hiring largely undocumented workers to save money) as it is to the horses it inbreeds and rides into the ground. You should be ashamed of what you do, on top of being ashamed of how little empathy you have for your “friend” and your fellow…

You don’t understand labor law or unions at all. It’s okay, most Americans don’t. Like anything else, we’d rather just believe the marketing. Keep fighting the good fight, against yourself.

Then why are you so angry? Why should everyone return to 1900s working conditions just so they have the same conditions as you? If your job is so fulfilling, why are you so angry at a teacher whose job isn’t what he or she was probably expecting? I didn’t ask you to talk shit about teachers, who are criminally…

Why does every person that thinks unions are no good also have a job that doesn’t give them any benefits or vacation?

Money only runs things because voters insist on staying uninformed and pretending that has nothing to do with it. Money buys ads for judges in states that have elections and obviously for politicians everywhere. If we couldn’t have our votes decided by “gaffes” and ad campaigns highlighting them, money wouldn’t matter…

If you have 6 work days, you have a weekend, a one day weekend. But not, no weekends. You get a day off. You’re terrible at everything about thinking aren’t you?

How do you square this:

You’re speaking in talking points. While we complain about how big business has trampled over people’s rights, income disparity and wealth distribution are at 1920s levels and American jobs are being outsourced all over the place, why don’t unions have a place anymore?

It’s only the founding principle of deadspin commenting. Do you think the comment section is here because we give a fuck about random people’s opinions? No. Emphatically no. It’s here for jokes.

Hate to get technical on you here, but if there’s a standing agreement between all cable companies, and TWC is a cable company, it’s TWC’s fault. They don’t have to make that agreement, it’s just wildly beneficial for them to do it, so they do it. I’m actually cancelling TWC today, but still can’t get rid of their…

I think that was a crossed out 6, next to a crossed out 7. They made it a week that one time.
