Not to pile on to the weather, but that made me think of sludge. I had a boss that "didn't think the weather was an issue; you chose to live here." Four hour drive that will take eighteen because of lake effect? Better leave right after work. And not early.

As a manager, I try for ROWE-esque environments. We're a law office and today everyone is in jeans, I hear music playing, one dog just wandered by, and it's not unusual for a baby or toddler to be here with a parent. I don't get much sludge from my bosses, other than requiring all sorts of timesheets in duplicate just…

When I was at a private firm, so much sludge. The whole day was a stack of inefficiencies nestled on top of each other, designed so that routine tasks could be stretched to fill time sheets.

Getting out of Watertown is generally a healthy move for anyone.

Agreed. He has no guarantee he'll catch on with a team or have a career. He has a narrow window to cash in on his name. I doubt I'd watch his show, but I can't blame him for doing what he can to carry his message and/or get paid.

I'm squarely Team Cat and this still is the best post ever.

40 and agree. I can't imagine subjecting myself to two relationships. Usually I want to find mopey 20something me who just wanted a relationship and beat him with a pipe.

True, in the court of public opinion. In the court of law, though, lawyers from both sides will be dealing with a narrow set of issues. The question, when busted for DWI, isn't if they stopped all the other guys speeding away from the party, but if one has a certain BAC. "Does the league have authority to remove DS?"…

Seriously. That's got every false-email-from-elderly-relatives red flag waving on it.

I can't dispute he might have dementia, but I also (not saying you implied, btw) that it's an excuse. That's my Racist Elderly Relatives(tm) position on this—anyone who is offended by a sick old man is really the intolerant one, ignoring the reality of his racist history.

I think I get your original point, and I have to agree. I don't see Logan appearing in a demure and respectful costume. Maybe she did at some point, but I mainly remember very styled blonde hair and tight sweaters.

I had straight 99.x%, so it's akin to pointing out I'm not just old, but have no excuse not to still be in some sort of shape.

Edited because Kinja.

yeah, sadly. "The call sounds like she made him talk about it;" "she's not white, so he can't be racist;" or "I bet the players still play for him, it's all about money, they are just making a big deal for more money."

Fights may not mean much to the casual commenter, but they do mean something to one select group: hockey players. Whether it is protecting a teammate, firing up a team/fans, or any other reason, fights developed as part of hockey and hockey culture. Should it change? I'd say so. But people who don't watch hockey who…

College (20 years ago) goalie I know is now a Buffalo firefighter and beer league vet. I wish they'd called him up, but since he played minor league hockey in the day he was probably too pricey for the Sabres.

Most successful Clarkson alum in the NHL since Dave Taylor.

How is Hall still alive? The booze, drugs and the STDs must be canceling each other out

I'm lying right now, in fact. Or am I?

I don't do this sort of law, but my guess is there's some case out there that his lawyers are relying on that assigns a dollar value to that term.
