And by tradition you mean a thing that happened one time.

The Predators fan base grew 3 sizes that night.

Don’t forget the Queen Bitch himself, Kevin Bieksa.

When can we stop pretending (and this is by no means limited to your take, it’s a seemingly pretty pervasive belief) that ratings are the be-all end-all justification for sports’ existence? I understand that this is a capitalist society and at their heart these organizations are businesses that only care about their…

Exactly the response I was expecting, thank you.

So what you’re saying is parity is a ridiculous notion, and teams should just be able to stockpile all the talent onto 3-4 teams, so that at some point at the end of 8 months of playing you get to see a handful of decent games. Instead of having, you know, competition throughout the season and playoffs. In competitive…

Oh, and I’m sure you have a very clear, concise, well-thought out reasoning behind that belief too.

He turned down the papacy to come play for Nashville.

Say what you will about the NBA playoffs but at least they’re going to result in a finals matchup that will feature great teams.

Nah, regardless of what the Preds do Hawks fans should be embarrassed until at least next September.

Watched the game and been to many, and I guarantee you a majority of the people there know exactly what’s going on. But yes, there are new fans every game who are probably still orienting themselves - it’s still a growing market. I imagine the half-hearted booing was due to the fact that the goal wasn’t really likely…

Well deserved, and super proud of our team.

I will say that one of my favorite parts of this playoff series has been the week-to-week changes in coverage given to the Predators, especially by the major networks:

Round 1 - What a cinderella story, this barely known team from the boonies has swept one of the greatest…

You mean a crowd was more excited about a 7-0 blowout than in a game that was nail-bitingly close for 95% of regulation? You don’t say...

So I admittedly don’t watch much Senators hockey, and am aware that their defense strategy typically entails pushing the puck to the boards to take away the high-percentage shots, but are they always this incredibly lackluster in their own zone? I never once saw more than one player go after a puck on the boards, and…

Yeah, it’s almost like they think this is a sports blog or something.

Her name is Kiplagat? I’ve been calling her Crandall!
Why didn’t someone tell me? I’ve been making an idiot out of myself!

And half the viewers of the Super Bowl are ‘just watching it for the commercials,’ which is one of the most asinine motives ever.

Seriously, you people are the worst.

Just for the record, Rita Juckson, it’s Gary Numan.

I started my game on Hard, and it was definitely very difficult to begin with. After getting dismantled repeatedly by a newer enemy, I finally turned it down to Normal. While still tough, it was much more manageable. Now about 3/4 (I’m guessing) through the game, it’s almost become too easy with the powers at my…

I mean, that’s like 2 full games of Civ VI, isn’t it?
