I understand what you are trying to say, but I would offer as a counterpoint that the Blue Jackets have made the playoffs each of the last 3 seasons, and even though they were the 8th seed this year they were actually better than they were the year before. They also have a really deep roster, 6 or 7 guys scored 20+…

They are, but they do suffer from being in the shadow of Ohio State football. Early season attendance can be spotty, but it picks up once the Buckeye’s football season ends. There is a very dedicated fanbase and they have supported the team through some pretty dismal seasons. I wouldn’t say they deserve this, but it…

Being an elected official and part of a political party comes with responsibilities. Supporting other candidates, fundraising and voting in blocks is not kowtowing, it’s called being a member of the party. Bernie and Trump are two sides of the same coin, they enjoy the spotlight and cult of personality they have built…

If he broke the law he needs to stand trial. If the burden of proof shows he is innocent he will go free. Sometimes being a ‘hero’ means you have to go through challenging ordeals like trials and prove your innocence. If he didn’t want to get expelled from the embassy then maybe he should have cleaned up after his cat…

Do you think the players quoted in the story are lying? It’s not like they were making vague statements about his behavior. They provided specific quotes, times and context for their stories. As far as I know Rodgers hasn’t disputed the accuracy of what they said, he is only trying to undermine their credibility and…

They are treated as authoritative because they provide specific examples, context and quotes of Rodgers being petty and passive-aggressive. And don’t forget that the story quoted a current WR on the Packers, so it isn’t just disgruntled ex-players calling him out on his BS. I have yet to see anywhere that Rodgers has…

How dare you respond with a well researched article contradicting my facts! Fake News!

lede: the opening sentence or paragraph of a news article, summarizing the most important aspects of the story.

Canucks or Rangers fan? Every time I see an article posted online about the Blue Jackets the comment section gets run over by fans of the Rangers and Canucks looking to take a shot at Tortorella. From everything I have read and seen there have been zero issues between him and the players in Columbus. Let it go. He…

I completely agree that the Blue Jackets had nothing to lose by going all in with this group. I understand the shortcomings of the players they traded for, but I think pairing Duchene with Panarin and Atkinson will pay off and Dzingel is a good player they have a strong chance of getting to sign with them long term at…

Of course Tom Brady is using PEDs and nobody cares. Review the facts:
1. He has his own personal guru/trainer and espouses theories like his magic water heals concussions.

Derek Boogaard died from an accidental overdose when he mixed an illegally obtained percocet with alcohol. How exactly does that make his former coach responsible? He only played 22 games for the Rangers in 2011 when Totorella was the coach. Are you holding Jaques Lemaire and Todd Richards culpable?

He had a really good year in 2015, but in 2014, ‘16 and ‘17 he was ranked outside of the top 10 QB’s in QBR and by advanced metrics. Not exactly generational talent material.

She may have grown up on Alderran, but she and Luke are the children of the Queen Amidala of Naboo.

Because Lincoln didn’t have the authority to abolish slavery with a single presidential proclamation. But the 13th Amendment did abolish slavery 2 years later, so spare us the confederate apologist bullshit.

Sounds like somebody has an axe to grind...what did they fire you for?

Bad calls happen in every series, Columbus lost because their defense allowed too many odd man rushes and Bobrovsky wasn’t able to hold up. They thought they could out-physical the Pens and wear them down over a long series, which is a great plan if you can win enough games to push them to a game 7.

What bothers me is that they aren’t selling these at a reduced price point. BlOps2 is $19.99, and you still have to buy the extra maps (if you don’t have them already for the 360). For that amount I have an expectation that Activision and Microsoft will police their servers/players and fix this nonsense.

So let me get this straight, you sold a $300 console for $175 so you can have a “special” Valentine’s Day dinner at Olive Garden(!)? And you did this because you couldn’t wait 24-48 hours to have the actual money to pay for this dinner deposited into your account? And you are going to go out and buy a new PS4 console…
