Wow, an old white male sports writer said some tropey old male white sports writer things 10 years ago. STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!

The comment section of that “ running a solid 30 seconds of misdirection” is the worst thing I have ever seen.

I hope it’s intentional that you picked a player from Buffalo, ass-play capital of the USA.

Remember Peanut Tillman eating Soldier Field’s turf trying to cover Steve Smith in the divisional round? Grossman starting for the Bears after returning from injury and taking over for Kyle Orton, the year before the Bears played in the Super Bowl? It was that year. Bad year.

TECHNICALLY the game happened in 2006.....

Granted, and I’m not pretending that he’s handling this situation appropriately. The best 4 lines for Tampa Bay probably do not include Drouin at the moment, and a more mature 20 year old would probably realize that and work to change that. But if I’m Drouin, seeing other 20 year-olds from that same class making an…

Probably not, but again, he’s 20.

It also may not help my perspective that 90% of hockey GMs seem to have no concept of the value tied to a good, young player juxtaposed with the coach’s “system.” Ask Bruins fans how the Seguin situation is working out for them. Draft and develop good young players. Deal with the growing pains. If you have to trade…

When I say impartial hockey fan, I actually mean Blackhawks fan. So yes, I’ve seen him play, and no, I was not particularly impressed with the overall game. But I also realize that he’s 20 and clearly has a ton of offensive skill that could come in handy on a top 6 line and on the power play. I certainly wouldn’t be…

As an impartial fan, I guess I can see the humor, but he’s a 20 year old kid that could be someone’s top 6 forward right now. If he was such a bad fit for the Lightning’s system to the point they’d prefer to stash him in the AHL, they could have just taken Seth Jones like everyone thought they should in the first…

Antwaan Randle El was fucking awesome to watch. This sucks.

I’m a Blackhawks fan. The team signed John Scott prior to the 2011 season, after the 2010 Cup, after the team lost Byfuglien, Ladd, Versteeg, Niemi and a few other solid depth guys and replaced them with a washed up Marty Turco and absolutely nothing else of significance. At that point, it was unclear whether the team…

Besides, the prospect of everyone being “rich” is a little less exciting when you consider the McDonald’s dollar menu would instantly become the $200 menu.

Yeah, and why was everyone going on about that Odell Beckham TD catch last year? Touchdowns happen all the time in football!

Say, Chris, it seems that you may want to elaborate! Do tell!

Can I get a motion to declare a writ of “Boys will be Boys?”

Orlando ranks 22nd in the league in the 3 point attempts per game. Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 above average 3 point shooters on their roster.

I, too, am getting tired about Deadspin having an opinion about a thing that happened and making a humorous post about the thing. I remember the days where Deadspin used to utilize access, favor AND discretion, but sadly, I feel those days are in the past, and truly, it is the poor baseball fans in St. Louis that…

Fine, but if I find out James Thrash’s fantasy opponent has ODB, I’m calling shenanigans on this appeal.
