This was very, very funny.

This is what I don’t get, I remember him living in Denver (he used to tweet every year the Habs played the Avalanche).

I think this may have been a second one in Montreal.

“What the fuck could that Jordan Peterson workshop have looked like?! What the ACTUAL fucking fuck. Fuck.”
This, but with Kermit’s voice: 

Yeah, that’s the fakest one they’ve ever published.  And that’s saying something.

Man, WYTS turned into Penthouse Forum so slowly I didn’t even notice.

The answer to who think they’re good/but aren’t good is stand up comedy, full stop. Poker’s second.

Not without major modifications.

Amen.  CART forever.

It’s stereotyping, but I’d say the odds are 1-2 that he’s English.

I don’t know why people assume four team divisions are automatic. They make sense in the NFL with the limited amount of games/scheduling, but I think they’ll make half the divisions a joke by August.  

I’d lean toward four 8 team leagues, but it’s more probable they’d go for 2 leagues and two 8 team divisions.

Because the union jack represents the United Kingdom, which is also Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. All 4 of the home nations have their own team.

The best part of Gretz are the random stats: +100 with 47 playoff points (2.6 per game) in 84/85, 83/84 a 26.7% shooting percentage, and 76 career short handed goals.

The Bobby Orr crowd makes a decent argument, and Lemieux was, prime v. prime, better, but only Howe has close to the sheet Wayne does.

Fair weather is fine. Adults with jobs/family, aside from one, maybe two leagues, can’t really be functionally anything but fair weather fans and carry on a normal life.

The best example, of course, is that ancient Bill Simmons column of sports fandom rules that he broke just about every single one of in like 5 years.

I’m with you on the sentimental reasons, I actually have Dwayne Norris’s white used jersey from 1994/95 in my closet. It’d be a complete gas to have them back. And they definitely wouldn’t lose money. It’s like anything, though, there’s 32 spots at the table and franchise values have gone nuts.

My guess is that there…

Because there would be 8 teams splitting the revenue from the Rogers deal instead of 7(Canadian teams get a larger share of the Rogers contract than American teams).

Unless it increases the value, which it wouldn’t, the Canadian teams won’t be behind adding another Canadian team.

It’s much less of an issue than it was in the early 1990s, given cheaper travel, internet, media etc. being accessible. Also a much more hospitable political situation.

You’re missing the issue with TV ratings: Would a team solely Quebec increase numbers enough to make for a bump in the Rogers Canadian TV contract big enough to overcome splitting it another way?

Sadly, the answer is probably no.

That’s what he’s paid millions for, to be the punching bag for the public for his constituents’ collective decisions.
