That’s because North Korea held the match under a media blackout, prohibiting journalists and also any fans from attending.

This is a pretty good pass, but I think like many of LeBron’s passes dating back to high school, tends to get graded on a curve because he’s the size of one of those Easter Island heads. The most impressive thing is the strength required to flip a pass backwards like this while you’re already kind of off-balance. But…

Every single hockey player under 12 is named Jackson, Caden or Jaden.

I’d wondered what became of the Salamanca Twin(s).

Seems like that, right?  Hilarious.  I guess the perp has never watched The Wire.  Or Breaking Bad.  Or most cop shows, or heist movies, or had caller ID, or received a call on their cel phone, or really existed in the modern world at all, really. 

I thought the first rule of G/O Media is you don’t talk about the Splintering?

Actually I found that whole part fascinating. It’s a guy born in an oppressive system explaining why a way, way less oppressive system is not perfect in the ways he hoped it would be.  It’s also funny that he thinks Americans know way more about the China/Hong Kong relationship than they actually do.

It is so funny that they pulled the Rickroll stunt while down 14. Was the AV guy’s game feed under local blackout rules?

Lordy, that guy who starts out at far left and ends up upside down still attached to the rig... 

Good reflexes by Comtois to avoid Marchand’s stick too. 

“I was a lot happier with what [Garrett] had done the first three games than what’s happened the last three games”

Except that we're not allowed to talk about that.

Ok so.. it's like a little bonus advantage of a fair catch, beyond 'don't hit me'?  And teams don't use it often because it's essentially a field goal try on first down, presumably resulting in change of possession?

Yup.  Not sure how they would have changed the row spacing without tearing out entire sections. 

“may contribute to a smaller seat feel for guests”

Watch this video and imagine it is your child getting hit.

Pfffft. If I had a phalanx of professional runners drafting me I could totally run a marathon in..

That little handle had to do real damage. 

Since it looks like the writers aren’t allowed to post pieces addressing Splinter’s demise at all, I’d recommend re-reading Megan Greenwell’s farewell from six weeks ago where she savages the current leadership of the G/O Media network and their approach to running sites like these. https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/th…
