Brady Tkachuk’s incredibly spiteful face and generally spiteful on-ice demeanour really ought to nudge Ottawa’s spite rating up to 3 knives... I mean... please give me something, I’m dying here and this season can’t end soon enough.

My perfect, special man. :(

Seems like a bit of a dick IMO.

I was in town when St Pauli played them back in May and just so happened to end up at the game. More drunken smokebombing than I’ve ever seen in my life. Cheap stroh’s, too!

I’m partial to Detroit FC’s whole aesthetic (even if they technically play in Hamtramck), which features this badass crest and a truly great live atmosphere.

Minnesota gave us Prince. That makes up for at least 87% of the state’s repressed Lutherans.

Those peak Zetterberg/Datsyuk years before were really something else (especially from a fantasy perspective... so many stat categories). Really wish he coulda got to 1,000 pts, as there’s no one else in the league who deserves it as much as him. HHOF will be a solid consolation prize.

For some reason, the image of a guy in the infantry telling himself “don’t think don’t think don’t think” as he tries to fall asleep is one of the darkest things I’ve thought of all year.

Damn, this was me for a while. Well, it still is, I’ve just found my harm reduction in the form of dark chocolate. That 70% dark bar from Lindt is a godsend... just sweet enough to get the sweet tooth fix after dinner, robust enough that I only need a couple squares, but low enough in the worst parts of candy (fats,…

It sounds like a kind of Polish sandwich, which is actually kinda perfect for the city.

Nick definitely has a shirt that says something like “Detroit: Where Hustling Was Born” though.

I dunno, basically the entire length of Woodward seems pretty “safe” these days... ditto most of downtown/midtown/Cass Corridor, good stretches of Southwest/Corktown, Indian Village, Woodbridge, Hamtramck (not technically Detroit but whatever)...

I love visiting Detroit (New Orleans of the North!) but I swear, anytime you encounter a white person when not in Hamtramck or Southwest, you’re guaranteed to meet one of the most awful human beings on the fucking planet. I get why everyone drives there.

Standard reply noting that Masai is actually the team president, and Bobby Webster is the Raps’ GM, although the differences seem to be largely immaterial in terms of running the team.

You know times are dire for Sens fans when the best news they’ve received all year is their long-time assistant GM resigning in shame. 

Nah, I cheered for no team other than the Costa Rican national squad because like a good North American, I typically didn’t give two figs about soccer unless the World Cup was on. But seeing as how great the sport apparently is, I’m taking the dive into EPL and figured I’d take a team with exciting players, a fun…

This was my first match as a Liverpool fan (thank you Mo Salah) and that was the instant I knew I had made the best decision of my year.

After I learned Mort Crim is actually a real guy and not some passed-over SNL sketch, I just started assuming the show works better as a documentary for Detroit than as a work of fiction.

It’s the best comedy show on TV this summer, and just brims with (mostly positive) weirdo energy in every scene. Also, it totally works as the best love letter to the city of Detroit that I’ve ever seen.

Mr Roth, just offering up my two cents that you offer some of the best, most insightful takes on Trump Mindset around, and you should continue doing so at regular intervals.
