Yeah, they should really be spreading the love around Western Canada/northern US a bit more. Have one side of the tourney play in Winnipeg, another in Minny and have the playoffs in Calgary or some shit. Western Canadians have basically nothing else going on in their lives except for finding innovative ways to not…

DeMar’s transformation from “budget Harden” to “market-value but decidedly-less-GIFable Harden” is *almost* complete!

At the very least it should be a lot more competitive. Can + US might be lacking in the star talent but I’m sure the best players in the SEL, KHL, SM-Liiga etc will make this somewhat less predictable than the last few have been. Maybe Korea will even get a surprise tie or something. (They won’t.) Who knows!

This would be fantastic, but each of the involved parties (IIHF, IOC, NHL, CHL) is far, far, far too petty to ever let that happen.

Once he figures out that he gets THREE free throws for every foul he takes beyond the arc, he’ll never stop.

I’m sure this will be fun and all but it makes me wish the IOC would have just followed what they do for soccer and have it all U21 or U23 (or whatever the cut-off age is). Maybe the World Juniors being held every year sorta forecloses that opportunity, but I can’t imagine that Matt Gilroy is gonna be getting people…

finally, someone who cares about my fantasy team. Brother.

Ahhh, the stat line that won me $600 and the freedom to endlessly lord a fantasy championship over my brother and all his lawyer friends.

Nothing to add other than this is a lovely story that gets at the very heart of the ways sports and our hometowns can make us all tearful little children.

Please punch him on behalf of every other hockey fan on twitter,

I see your Sabres misery and raise you one Eugene Melnyk and a hockey braintrust intent on making Cody Ceci a shutdown defenceman.

We probably should just ban all men from positions of power in women’s gymnastics.

Enh, exactly what you’d expect from someone married to a left winger.

Counterpoint: Sophomore and junior make no sense.

Fav season so far? I’ve been binging it lately and S6 is immaculate. Mary Berry is a treasure.

‘Twas ever thus.

Buddy shoulda tuned his guitar beforehand.

Further offending my intelligence:
During my call this weekend to cancel my NYT digital subscription (this article being the rather large straw that broke the camel’s back that is my desire to support the NYT’s occasionally good journalism) was the “account manager” who tried repeatedly to interject why she thought the…

Moz pivots to video

I love how anyone who’s had them in their lives knows the score—stubborn, noisy, occasionally assholish little bastards... but personality, snuggles, love and humour for days. Definitely a trade-off I’d be willing to make again and again and again.
