It’s also what you get with the Nats no matter who is managing. A match made in heaven from day 1.

Who gives a shit? Harper needs to take a shorter lead knowing the risk of the pickoff.

I’ll carve out 1-2 Sundays each year to bro out with friends watching football and drinking (sipping Flying Dog or somesuch rather than pounding Miller Lites, though).

LOLnope. Islanders are more likely to miss the playoffs than win a round there.

We don’t cry. We just dispassionately gaze into the middle distance while sipping our bourbon.

Minnesota is really not a talented roster—the only reason they made the playoffs last year was because someone had to, and the Avs were coached by a neanderthal. They should improve through coaching alone by adding Boudreau, but not nearly as much as the Avs will by having gotten rid of Roy, and neither team is…

That rematch with the Penguins looks more or less inevitable.

I’ll go with Chris Kreider, just because he actually plays in a conference that features top goaltenders. Quantity over quality, yo.

If you need to take your mind off the baseball, you can always flip over the NBCSN to relive the Caps’ dizzying playoff success from last spring.

Given how putrid the Pacific is, St. Louis only needs to be better than 2 teams in their division to make the dance. I see 3 they are still easily more talented than (COL, MIN, WPG), and lame duck or no, Hitch isn’t going to actively harm them with his coaching.

Washington over St. Louis in the Final.

Your original statement was simply that sleeping with semi-strangers was irresponsible

Calling sex “neutral” is a silly, simplistic overreaction to the legacy of sexual puritanism. Of course consensual sex can still be irresponsible, both as a matter of practical prudence and as a matter of moral valence.

You just don’t outgrow some habits, apparently.

More like .2 (rounding up since I obviously had to do some brief research to double-check).

This wasn’t 1 or 2 cases but over a dozen in one year, which is paternity fraud and should be a federal crime.

He is a rich guy who is preventing the unlikely situation where a gold digger impregnates herself with his scumbag. Seems very adequately responsible.

the second I pass out or become too wasted to know what’s going on, I cannot give consent, and having sex with me is nonconsentual.

And I should be able to walk home from my nearest subway station drunk out of my mind at 3am without having to worry about getting mugged, but that doesn’t make it a responsible thing do.

Having sex with someone you are worried will try to self-inseminate with your sperm or file a false rape accusation is hardly my definition of “responsible.”
