I was entirely wrong when I wrote after Game 5 that the switch to Marc-Andre Fleury was irrevocable.

And this is why Goodell needs to be fought at EVERY turn. Snark all you want about Brady appealing his suspension, but the abuse of power and capricious dictatorial actions are the same in that situation as in this one mentioned in the article. The only end goal for Goodell is more power and the ability to do whatever…

“slow down the process until we all have a chance to speak and figure this out.”

No way, man. 8th grade science shows there was no deflation initiated. Why should he sit out just so Goodell can get a power-erection? This isn’t about football PSI any more, it’s about Goodell trying to aggregate all league power to himself and wield it as capriciously as possible.

As a fan of high farce, I never want this to end (Ps. also a Pats fan, but this clusterfuck is sublime and trumps all tribal loyalties.)

Yeah, just let it go, man.

Theres nobody to root for here.

1. The Court has heard stupider shit.

Warning: the following take is hot; very hot.

Well, of course! All Boston sports celebrities are level-headed individuals making positive contributions to civil conversation.

I cancelled my subscription to the Globe the day after Stupont wrote that article.

I totally want Thornton to be vindicated.

That puts them ahead of 17 other states. Pretty much right in the middle.

Down here in Texas, people love big business, especially if there's a cheap marketing tie-in to Texas pride. It’s pure Stockholm Syndrome, but Materialism is like a branch of Christianity to these people. You won’t find much resistance locally.

Joe Thornton vs Phill Kessel for the Stanley Cup

Even if Thornton didn’t own, KPD could still go fuck himself.

Such trickeration is clearly not playing baseball the right way. Goose Gossage would be rolling over in his grave.

Not as convincing as when he deked Mets fans into thinking he was going to catch that ground ball in Game 4.

Blink twice if you are under duress.

I previously wrote “elbow out like grampa at the Y” but that was his jumper. His free throw he had that weird swinging motion IIRC where he would dribble and pick up the dribble waist-high and swing the ball around before beginning his shooting motion.
