Goalies who catch right look so odd. It might make sense to use the right hand, the dominant hand for most people, to do the fine skill work of catching 100 mph slapshots, but it used to be rare if not nonexistent.

The new color rush uniforms are weird

My dudes, you have killed Splinter, you laid off a bunch of cool journalists, I have even stuck with you through your auto-play video ads that kill my YouTube video playing in the background, but if you don’t stop these ads that auto-forward my ipad to some “install flash player now!” website with no back button so I…

I know exactly how he feels. There was this media company I liked that was bought by sociopathic hedge fund vampires who paid themselves obscene salaries while running the company into the ground.

Dave Petersen’s letter to the editor about Muslim holidays — and the editorial response — needs to be highlighted here.

So they draw the line on tee shirts but not rampant child abuse? 

on the one hand: awful, late-capitalist hellscape.

I just rewatched the series to prepare for the movie, and to be honest, I kept thinking how differently it would be reviewed if it came out today. The main characters are white male antiheroes. The women are not exceptionally well fleshed out. All the minority characters are either criminals, junkies, or Steve Gomez.…

I guess the point is, what is the expectation for Ellen here? Would it have been better for her to scream “you are a war criminal!” at Bush and then spit in his face?

I guess it’s just a matter of time before we read about Briles being fired from a Pop Warner football team.  And then being fired from Popeye’s.

“The difference between Israel-Palestine and China-Hong Kong, then, is only that Israel has been more successful in branding its conflict with those it oppresses as genuinely above reproach than China has thus far been with its dealings with Hong Kong.”

Nice detour on israel; note that no one actually brings up what China is doing to it’s Muslim population because no one wants to upset them and jeopardize business interests with the world’s second largest economy. 

Does...Does Stephen A. Smith think people don’t talk about Israel/Palestine because they’re pro-Israel and fear backlash for being too pro-Israel?
Stephen, that’s (and I can not stress this enough) not a thing. You constantly see people outside of “the Jewish community” back Israel (I mean our big, wet boi moved our…

I assume the Athletic’s subscriber base is overwhelmingly white and male.

Settle a score in my office. You’re typing and realize you misspelled something. Do you…

I actually believe Trump when he says he’s never had a drink or taken drugs. His brother died from alcoholism, after all.

So we agree that Trump has likely never smoked weed, but he’s for sure taken enough perscription pills to kill most of the race horses on Earth, right? I mean, I see him doing that and not counting it as “drugs” because it was from a doctor, or some sort of “medical person” who told him it would increase his manliness…

DJ at Tampa strip club at 4:50pm on a Tuesday: [fires up Def Leppard, “Rocket”]

In a shocking development, Adam Silver and the NBA are no more socially conscious or woke than Goodell and the NFL. It’s just that their pressure points come from mainland China rather than MAGA jorts territory.
