He’s living proof of the power of inherited wealth and a direct argument against the idea of America as a meritocracy.

Go read the comments elsewhere for this article from the guy who openly admits to being a Trump supporter. For these guys to realise their dumb decision has consequences, they’d first have to be smart enough to realise those consequences were the result of a dumb decision. They’re not.

No, it’s not.

As an Edmonton resident who doesn’t root for the Oilers, I am envious​ as hell, a sentiment that grows with every giant pothole I have to drive through.

They’re going to be in the Pacific division, aren’t they? That’s a lot of games vs the Oilers, Flames, and Canucks, fanbases who​ will all readily travel to Vegas for games, especially in January.

I mean, I like hockey better live, but I’m Canadian. It’s the only thing I love more than beer, maple syrup, and flannel, eh? I’m just saying, there’s probably some NFL markets where that’s the case, and 8 road games vs 41 may make up some of that attendance difference.

I don’t know what ticket prices are like league-wide, but I can tell you for a fact that there are a lot of Canadians who do this with their favourite hockey team. Ticket prices for the NHL in Canadian cities are so wild, and often, so difficult to get, that it can make more sense to fly to Phoenix or Miami for the…

Nah, it’s Scalia.

This is pretty much what the CFL does. One possession each, starting from the defenders’ 35 yard line. On a touchdown, you are required to go for the extra 2. After that (except in the playoffs), the score is the score, tied or not.

If the only time you think it’s worthwhile to watch your team is when they’re near-locks for a championship, you might want to quit watching real sports and switch to sports movies instead.

The Trans-Canada between Calgary and Winnipeg. Basically an entire day of driving (14-15 hours) in a straight line through flat nothingness. There are a couple of towns along the way, and Regina, but they’re only visually stimulating relative to the void, you don’t really get to see any of the nice parts from the…

Dril has some funny tweets, but I don’t know if he’s much of an actor

You’re assuming there isn’t some bootlicking West Wing-liberal shithead who wouldn’t write this kind of dumb hot take. “We have to prove we’re better than this!” Etc.

I also had a Tempo with​ a 2.3. I also used to stall it regularly when leaving stop signs and red lights. Except mine had an automatic. Never figured out why it kept happening, but at about 1 in 10 stops, you’d let off the brake, step on the gas and then it would just die.

Yeah, it’s going to be awesome when the city winds up paying for all the damage in the “revitalized” area around the publicly-funded arena.

It’s been really​ fun watching Oilers fans turn into Canucks fans.

No joke, the first time I noticed CNBC while flipping through the channels, I thought it was a special version of NBC to meet CRTC regulations or something. I couldn’t understand why there was no Must See TV.

Someone pointed this out in another thread, but the Oilers have been selling concourse tickets for the playoffs. That is, tickets that have no view at all of the ice, you just pay $85 to watch the game on TV’s inside the arena. So there are a few thousand people in the building who weren’t there during the regular…

This occasionally happens in soccer. I remember a Champions League game between Bayern Munich and CSKA Moscow a couple of years ago that was played in an empty stadium because of a racist incident involving CSKA supporters.
