I mean, if the trained swordsman is in the process of bleeding out from a high-caliber bullet wound, I can see it.

Are younglings and padawans not Jedi? They’re not Masters or even Knights, sure, but I don’t think there was ever a suggestion they are not members of the order while still in training.

He’s only, what, a solid decade or so behind the rest of the liberal chatterati?

Agreed, but would a non-white actor have been given the chance with even the meager budget Fox was willing to give him?

Does Ryan Reynolds even fit those criteria? I mean, sure, he got the Deadpool part, but did anyone involved in greenlighting the film think it would be career-defining or spark a career comeback for Reynolds?

This seems like a bit of an overstatement of Ryan Reynolds’ career. Before Deadpool, Green Lantern was the only high-budget action film where he was top-billed: each of his other appearances in that genre saw a more bankable star above him on the playbill (Jeff Bridges in RIPD, Denzel Washington in Safe House, Wesley…

Not sure STL has the cap room to make that work (Fleury’s hit is ~$1.5M higher than Shatty’s), and adding Fleury would totally bone their cap for next season when Allen’s extension kicks in.

If he changes his retirement plans over this, one has to wonder if this sets the dominos in motion for a coaching carousel. Bruins pull the trigger on Julien to beat the Islanders to the punch on Hitch, freeing Julien up to escape the shitshow in Boston’s front office for Brooklyn or Florida.

at one point an MVP in each of the major sports was endorsed by Under Armour.

Escalators can never break. They can only become stairs.

The Islanders are 28th in the League in attendance, so obviously they would like to have a higher ceiling than their current average draw.

The asinine decision came when Charles Wang declined to go in on Barclay’s in favor of doubling down on the doomed Lighthouse project. Accommodations for ice hockey degrade the suitability of an arena for other purposes, so the developers quite reasonably decided to prioritize basketball and concert sightlines once…

Fans do not drive to MSG, and the train options to Barclays are similar.

This is all Charles Wang’s fault for not going in on the Barclay’s project from day one. The Islanders could be a 50/50 partner in the arena, which would have been designed to actually accommodate hockey, but instead Wang decided to double down on the doomed Lighthouse project in Nassau.

Looks like the piece has been edited to reflect this week’s rankings. Purdue is at 23 in the AP poll.

People are often members of a union and don’t feel a real connection to the union, and don’t feel that they made a choice to become part of the union

He’s not wrong.

Did audiences give a shit the first four Batman films lacked coherent continuity? Do comic readers struggle to keep up with stories set outside established continuity?
