Yea, fuck that guy for being too talented to make Torts’ “everyone just pile up in front of the net and get hit with pucks” strategy a worthwhile endeavor.
The raccoons would probably injure your star players less than all the shot-blocking.
Free agency status in the NHL is a function of games played, with the precise amount depending on a player’s age when he enters the League—I don’t closely follow how it works in other leagues, but my understanding is that the NHL’s system causes players to hit unrestricted free agency later than in other sports (most…
So Columbus just very publicly chose John Tortorella over their franchise center?
Double post
They still lead the West, but some potential trouble spots are emerging: their road record isn’t great, the goaltending has looked beatable, and Benn and Seguin have showed they’re capable of being shut down.
The above post correctly notes why two unrelated complaints can look similar, but the two firms could also have collaborated—the fact that they filed in the same court suggests to me that they’re very aware the cases are going to be consolidated.
Peyton has probably done the cost-benefit analysis and determined that the risk of some skeleton in his closet coming to light in discovery isn’t worth the small chance he gets to vindictively bankrupt Al-Jazeera America.

In order to sue for defamation, you have to prove that there is material damage (lost contracts, etc).

Butthurt Pats fan is butthurt.
It’s hardly prevalent in sports with guaranteed contracts, though—can’t remember the last time I saw a hockey player say “fuck this, not worth my health.”
Honestly, pretty surprised we don’t see this more often.
Suing for defamation would be a losing proposition for Manning; he undoubtedly qualifies as a “public figure” who would face a heightened burden of proof to even be able to prove liability, and if he has any skeletons in his closet even tangentially related to PED use they would come out in discovery. Unless he is…
Debating between sharing this article with the guests for the party I’m having tomorrow as a guide on what not to bring and trying to avoid poisoning the world with these silly ideas.
