Bruins fan here, and this is about as unjust a firing as I can recall (nothing will ever touch what happened to Francona). This front office has no plan beyond talking about “identity,” which to them means “guys who hit.” Not sure what they wanted Claude to do with plugs like McQuaid and Kevan Miller skating big…

Did that seem to take? My fear is that when I eventually have kids it’ll result in a Family Ties situation where the kid is a snotty little conservative just to jam it back into my bleeding heart eye.

What’s the biggest bar fight you’ve ever seen, and how stupid was the reason it started?

Why?

So you just kinda took a shot in the dark on that?

So why does everyone laugh when they talk about David Luiz? Can someone explain it? Does he suck? Is he very, very good? He’s been involved in two of the biggest transfers ever for a defender, including the priciest in history, but still seems to be bit of a wink-and-nod punchline. What the hell, man?

Fencing response on that first hit is stomach-churning.

“No disrespect to DeAndre and to Kay, you think we can rely on them to help us win a playoff game right now?” James said. “And it’s no disrespect to them. But it’s like, it’s not fair to them.”

How many years you been at State Street?

I’d actually argue that “Bama OC-to-FAU HC” represents that trend for Kiffin finally reversing itself.

I Googled him after he threw a few dirty hits against the Bruins a little while back, and was *stunned* that he a) is only 22 - feel he’s been goonin it up for a decade and b) was the 16th overall pick in his draft. That’s a pretty quick turnaround time on deciding to not be the talented guy you should be and instead…

Can an argument be made that Gronk is already the greatest TE to ever play the game?

“Yeah, uh, thanks guys, uh, long term Haisley reader, first time commenter. Anyways...”

About to scroll back up and actually read this, but, just wanted to say - great job not letting Haisley take this one on.

Appropriate for a writer who had apparently never heard of Major Applewhite before, though.

Right? I was like in middle school when Applewhite was at Texas and I have CLEAR memories of him, even though I don’t live anywhere near a college football hotbed.

Just looked that game up and hooolyyyyy shit. The teams combined for 934 rushing yards and THIRTEEN rushing TD’s. CU had two guys go for more than 150.

Gretzky bitching about fighting in hockey always rang a bit hollow to me when he had this sack of shit dragging behind him.

I mean....I’m on Manning’s side here. It’s pretty evident that McDavid did just catch an edge at an unfortunate time.
