For all the hemming and hawing about this, people seem to forget that it’s pretty simple: Bettman isn’t gonna put a team in a city that’s smaller than the current smallest market, and he sure as shit isn’t gonna do it in a place that’s -30 degrees for half the season and where there’s basically no TV money to be made…

Oh also props for giving props to Bob Cole. He is the definition of the word legend and I’m super bummed he’s not doing the playoffs.

“we’d take Calgary or even Toronto”

Jesus who pissed in your Cheerios bud? Who’s saying any of those things?

Let’s address the problem where it begins: people. It’s not that people are doing unnecessary things (though that’s also true)...it’s that the people themselves are unnecessary. There are way too fucking many of us.

I believe the beating average in Baltimore belongs to Ray Rice.

No women dogs allowed either, gotta keep it consistent

Is this your first day? To quote the great and dearly missed Christopher Hitchens, you seem like a person who’s never once heard the arguments against your position.

Thank you for this.

Fortunately for us we’ve got dipshit folks from the South who love nothing more than to constantly re-live a war that they lost. I think there’s some kind of invisible barrier that removes irony from people when they cross the Mason-Dixon.

I agree except for the AIDS thing. AIDS isn’t airborne.

Yeah he was...the book somewhat focuses on the problem of private prisons, but definitely many, many of the issues he brings up are applicable to state and federal prisons as well. I forget the precise number but I believe it’s something along the lines of 10% of prisons (most of them state rather than federal if I’m…

I feel like the delay was actually caused when he looked down and realized he was wearing 2 different sets of old women’s curtains from the 1950s as pants and then when he attempted to change, just got caught up in his 1950s letterman jacket and couldn’t figure any of it out. The delay was further exacerbated by the…

So they tested less than 100 examples, in one city, in Spain? (Not shall we say, a hotbed of cannabis-related activity.) Yeah definitely jump right to “all weed has shit in it.” You should probably smoke some weed (not from Madrid) before you write your next article, it might be better. This is clickbait of the most…

A full million out of 80 on a Hornet is one of the seats? Jesus

Yeah but most of them aren’t being paid to NOT play which I believe was what Rhayader was getting at.

Are you saying we should all...conspire...To purchase it?

I imagine some of you have already heard of it, but if you haven’t, and you’re somehow not completely disgusted with the prison system yet, I suggest reading “American Prison” by Shane Bauer. Not only a pretty intense expose of the private prison nightmare, but also a very informative history of the penal system at…

That is actually not the worst plan...though I can’t see the O’s being OK with paying even MORE money than they already are, even if they got to do it over time. I think a Bonilla situation only happens once and now that everyone’s seen how it breaks down, that window may be closed forever.
