The glory days of the British blue collar sector are never coming back. Thatcher made sure of that, and she was as anti-EU as any mainstream politician could afford to be.

People in Hollywood are just as dumb as everyone else. Bryan Singer famously didn’t realize Hugh Laurie was British when he was casting house - and at that point he had stated he wanted an American actor as Brits couldn’t do a convincing accent.

It’s a different kind of insufferability. More trash talking and hooligan type behavior.

A true professional is, by definition, licensed. The only insinuation being done here is by you, a fucking moron that got their panties in a bunch because they don’t know jack shit about the subject at hand. Perhaps you were sleeping off a hangover from that light beer the night before on the day this was explained to…

A PMs role is to manage cost, scope, and schedule. They should not be getting tied up in technical design details.

There are lots of jobs that require engineering degrees (or at least degrees that develop math and analytical skills) that are not true engineering, in the sense that you do not need to be a licensed professional to do the job. Most manufacturers or “end users” do not require licensed professionals on their payroll;…

If you actually want to practice as a true professional you will need to find work related to your degree, or at least be really good at spinning the relevance to your regulatory body. I know a few people with chemical engineering degrees that have gotten into process control software and they are basically unable to…

IMO this is still the #1 highlight of the franchise and will continue to be so until they make a finals.

In fairness, this just happened yesterday. And he posted blogs yesterday.

Both Jezebel and Jalopnik have both been on the auction block for awhile with no takers. So either they’ll remain part of the stable after the sale or the new owner is going to shutter them within whatever allowable timeframe is set out during negotiations.

This must be what he’s talking about. And I have seen at least one instance of this where play went on for a good 5 minutes after the reviewable moment (thankfully it was not a goal). So he’s still wrong about the idea that there’s no time impact, because if the goal counts you have to put it back on the clock and…

Oh Jesus, I didn’t know the emo could string together coherent paragraphs through their rage tears.

There is nothing abnormal about this year. You simply notice and care more because you are an old-ass person and it is the people you grew up idolizing that are starting to kick the bucket.

Gary Bettman (If you squint hard and have had several drinks, which is how most people deal with Gary).

Is it just me or is that some weak-ass Cockney rhyming slang?

Hey, he coulda asked a stranger to take a snapshot or 12 with a disposable camera (can’t take a chance with a bad one!), got the film developed, photocopied it, and faxed it. Also it doesn’t say if he met is SO in prison after this little escapade.

This comment is critically understarred.

Given Deadspins’ piss poor track record of late with following through on ideas I won’t believe this is happening until I see it.

Thanks to the miracles of time zones there is basically zero scheduling conflicts. A soccer fan in the Eastern timezone can basically watch games non-stop from 9 am to well past midnight.

Part of me thinks Dana knows what he’s doing. You’re right that if the sport gets more mainstream someone more savvy is going to kick him to the curb. He makes more money by keeping the sport on the fringes and ruling with an iron fist.
