Needs more dental jokes.

I don’t follow the sport at all, but the U.S. is pretty much the Houston Texans of international soccer, no?

Regarding “takes”:

The Deadspin style guide also encourages wearing Tevas, so follow that at your own risk.

Not “Finals”. Stanley Cup Final. I can’t wait for your report on the Superbowl.

Great! Thanks! Petchesky does it too. Pedantic pet peeve on my part. Congrats to your hockey team.

(I ws joking. Their coverage is perfectly cromulent, Mrs. Petchesky.)

It is the Stanley Cup Final, not the “Finals”. Deadspin is bad at hockey.

It’s like when a sports blog keeps referring to the Stanley Cup Final as the “Finals”. Being inaccurate is annoying!

Since I saw someone took the 1997 World Series, I’ll say the 2006 World Series. Fuck that half-assed, bullshit Cardinals team. Detroit rolled the AL, and then got cold waiting for an 83-win Cardinals team to make it to the Series. Statistically, the worst World Series champion in history.

1997 - Indians over the Marlins. Cleveland deserved it, the Marlins organization is garbage, and no more Cleveland misery.

I am being very pedantic, but isn’t it NBA “Finals” and Stanley Cup “Final”? Can we get a ruling on this?

My son watched this around the time The Dark Knight Rises came out. The first time Bane started talking, my wife turned to me and exclaimed, “Smeeeeeee!!” I can’t watch that movie now without expecting Bane’s plot to take over Gotham to be spoiled by a bunch of 3rd grade pirates.

People still eat pudding, let alone on a hot day? Huh. Why is my Grandpa writing under this pseudonym?

I’d say it is more similar to the Mariners that won 116 games. Baseball and NFL playoffs are much more random than the NBA playoffs, I think.

He is always injured, though. Put an asterisk on his career instead?

A very smart man, @pftcommenter, taught me that no stat is more important than RPY (rings per year) IMO.

Sorry that your favorite team lost. There is always next game!

I think he is wedged so tightly in the seat he was unable to stand up. One too many pierogis, I guess.
