The point being made is that star players all get preferential treatment, and only get called if it's horribly obvious. The point that you seem intent to make, that Crosby is a diver beyond any other star player, is what is patently false. Fucking jackass.

Hey moron, let me spell it out, since you aren't getting it: No star player gets called for diving, ever...with the exception being that Giroux was called, because it was blatant. So again, if you want to compare the facts, only one has ever been officially guilty of it.

No star player gets called for it! Oh wait...

No, I hate the use of gay slurs, and people who don't know what their talking about. Namely people like you.

My point was merely that it's hypocritical. I don't recall saying that Giroux is gay though. I said that I had issue with the use of gay slurs, and pointed out the amusing fact that their star player was involved in some grab-ass. You also assume I hate the Flyers, (not true! I live in Philly, and enjoy watching them,…

First, if you want to talk about diving or embellishment, again, only one of Crosby and Giroux has ever been called for it, and it wasn't Crosby.

So...is there any chance that Flyers fans will no longer spout gay slurs at Sidney Crosby? I mean...one captain has now been arrested for inappropriately grabbing guys, and one hasn't.

You must hate the Olympics.

You pretty much proved my point. Just sticking around doesn't make you good. The people that love Pearl Jam think they're the best thing ever, and that's where I'm confused, because at their best, they don't compare to the best of the other three I mentioned.

If the Steelers had a wide receiver worthy of double coverage, I would agree, haha

He actually changes it live, depending on the city. Every time I've seen him in Pittsburgh it's a football. Why you would want to throw a football past someone is beyond me. The Boss isn't much a sports fan...which I find hilarious that all these sportswriters love him. Kinda fits though...Most of them have any idea…

Ugh, I will never understand the reverence for Pearl Jam. They've been around forever, but they don't hold a candle to Nirvana, Alice in Chains, or Soundgarden. And that's just their competition from Seattle.

I think the bigger issue is East vs. West. In the East, LeBron knows that just about any team he's on is the favourite to win the conference. In the West, even with him, he'd still have either the Spurs or Thunder or both to deal with. If he wants rings, he should stay in the East...He'd only have to beat one great…

I think there's something to this, and an easy way to implement it would be to make it optional, or difficulty level based. It could be a special separate playthrough type altogether, a la Ranger Mode in the Metro series.

The timing is definitely a big part of it. There is nothing going on sports-wise right now in the US, save for baseball, and lets be honest, when there are 162 four hour games, you can stand to miss a few. The World Cup is an EVENT. I'd be stunned if the Winter Classics didn't do better than Euro Cup championship…

If you're going to compare USMNT games, specifically the World Cup, to hockey, you should compare it to the Olympic Hockey numbers. At least then you get the same level of idiot nationalism where you need to root for USA to be best at everything cancelling each other out. Comparing NHL to La Liga and Premier League…

I totally agree with Batman and Batman Returns. Taken in a vacuum, they are a damned good pair of movies, and while Batman Forever and Batman & Robin were technically part of that same continuity, they never felt that way. I'd definitely put these two near the top.

Well, this is disappointing. The Taco Bell quesadillas are actually a favourite fast food of mine, because of that sauce they use with the cheese. If you're telling me they left the best part of the quesadilla out of the unholy amalgamation of a quesadilla and burrito...for shame.

This guy should get some kind of prize.

Thanks for the clarification.
