Looked to me like he got knocked off balance by the foul and went with his momentum instead of trying to stop on a dime, which can be an easy way to suffer a lower body injury.

When has hockey ever *not* been populated by white dudes with obnoxious names? Gordie? Guy? Aleksei? Gtfo here with your white bread Canadian/continental ass name.

Punctuation is your friend.

I’m comfortable with my choices as a writer and an editor. I don’t make moutains out of mole hills and I don’t fix what ain’t broke. I also heed the value of language actually in use relative to language “at its highest form” whatever the Hell that means.

Style is too often concerned with subjective matters of taste. I subscribe to the KISS method. Editorially speaking, if it doesn’t make me pause and think “wait WHAT? is he trying to say here?” and doesn’t abuse a favorite word or phrase, it’s fine.

I think that is theoretically correct - but the very existence of style guides encourages jamokes like this bridge guy over here to try to fix others’ already unbroken and accessible sentences, because, hey, he’s been through post-secondary education and therefore has access to this arcane knowledge.

If you pay attention to the sentence you’re reading, you can tell it requires a modifier. The modifier that shows up at the end, therefore, makes perfect sense.

“Do you want to follow arbitrary conventions of style that obfuscate meaning? Then try following a style guide! That thing you said that made sense could sound way more high falutin and unreadable if you follow these three easy steps!"

That somewhat reasonable “take” is not nearly as obnoxious as several people saying “oh don’t look now but wait for all of these people that are gonna blame the injury on the warriors not resting players.”

But that would be vastly overstepping the bounds of appropriate action. This is a private interaction that was never meant to be public in the first place. Its not enough to know that several members of the team are racist assholes? *Why* exactly does the public *deserve* to know their names?

I mostly agree with this but then who *does* Drummond guard? Lebron? Just play a zone so he stays near the basket? The other team’s least deadly scoring threat?

How can anyone who hasn’t lived under a rock the last 5 years describe a lineup featuring Kevin love at the 5 and lebron at the 4 as “counterintuitive?"

Exactly. They’re racist assholes. They’re going to be racist assholes. They don’t deserve penalty for being racist assholes to each other in their group chat. At worst, they deserve their racist group chat to be made public, which happened. Anything else would be immorally excessive.

Who gives a fuck if a bunch of baseball players at Saint Louis Goddamn University said some racist shit to each other? Have you ever been to a baseball practice? Baseball players are notoriously assholes, and if not everywhere, at least in the South are notoriously racist assholes.

I would take it a step further - I give uconn women’s basketball all the credit in the world - they’re the best program in their sport (i.e. women’s basketball) at any level. Geno Auriemma is one of the best basketball coaches of all time.

Do you reply to every comment you disagree with?

This is a troll, right?

Ribbons: “told ma team in spring training some team is gonna end up gettin screwed by this”

If I were on the blue jays pitching staff this would’ve been taken care of long ago.

Highlight videos that don’t fit on a mobile browser - yes, baseball season is here.
