The Finns always have the most fun names to pronounce, even if not all of them are great players: Jyrki Jokipakka, Teemu Riihijarvi, Kyosti Karjalainen. Just don’t ask Bob Miller to call a game featuring Esa Pirnes:

Chuck Knoblauch would have caught the bat and then thrown it into the stands while trying to return it to the field.

To be fair, he wasn’t the first to try putting an NHL team in Atlanta.

Yeah, seriously? It’s barely mentioned in this piece, but it’s the headline. Why isn’t this story about the kinds of threats they’re getting and what’s being done to find whoever cares that much about these awards to jeopardize the safety of these people for making a mistake that was corrected moments after it was…

It’s been a few years since I played it after it became free on Playstation Plus, but I’m fairly certain that “Spewing Poop and Lies” was a quest in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

I am citing this next time I go into court to argue the meaning of a statute. (See also, Schilling v. O’Donnell, Pink Floyd Mayweather III comment, March 2, 2017 at 12:33 pm)

Keep trying to understand it. Also, understand there are plenty of people who mock Caitlyn Jenner, too. I, for one, mock her because she believed that Donald Trump would be interested in promoting equality for transgender people. However, I do not mock her for identifiying as a woman.

Reminds me of college in the late 90s, when we would mute CNN’s Crossfire and watch it with the Beastie Boys playing instead. I had no idea Tucker Carlson knew all the lyrics to “Paul Revere.” 

Seriously. It’s as if Chris Rock’s bit on people wanting credit for things they are supposed to be doing has come to life. The pundit class almost universally has adopted this attitude of, “Well, he didn’t set the rostrum on fire. How presidential! Let’s give him a cookie!”

“Have fun in prison, assholes.” - BusPassTrollop curls up and dies.

Or, in this case, “Video and it still didn’t happen.”

You don’t even have to wait more than an hour or two for something more offensive to come out, but yeah, this is a pretty goddamn awful and ignorant thing for the so-called Secretary of Education to say.

As a Kings fan, this checks out.

I had a 2003 Sonata for almost 13 years, and I rarely had major trouble, even over 160K miles. The most significant repair I had on it was to replace the catalytic converter after about 11 years, because otherwise it would not pass a smog check. It may not have been the best car, but it got me through grad school and…

Yeah, and I agree with you that’s the cost he’s paying for choosing comfort. You’re right, it takes significant blinders to look at that franchise’s history (both in AZ and Winnipeg) and not realize that no one has ever had a clue how to get this team to win. I just think that massive overacheivement in 2012 convinced…

Why did Adam Lind have his eyebrows transplanted on his chin?

<GandalfoftheGreys goes to make joke about the fact he was born in 1976; realizes Doan is a week younger than him>

Except this draft is not expected to produce a memorable class. Not saying there won’t be a few who go on to have good careers, but it’s not going to be the 2003 draft all over again.

I agree that there’s a cost to staying, but I don’t know I can blame a guy for wanting to stay loyal to a franchise. It was only five years ago that the Coyotes were in the Western Conference Final, and while they probably massively overachieved to get there, he probably geninunely continued to believe that the team…

Understandable. To be honest, I was never a fan of either the U.K. or U.S. version of the show.
