Yes, it is only within that entry, but theoretically, that could be five minutes. But more realistically, if it’s 30 seconds, it’s absurd to go back and negate a goal over it. They don’t review icings. which might also be consequential, but don’t have the precision of a puck crossing a line. And as we see, they don’t…

The offsides review would be a lot more palatable if there were some kind of time limit--5 or 10 seconds--prior to the goal that could be subject to review. 

That is a good point that the hand pass just happened to be a few seconds before the goal. If it had been missed 30 seconds and five passes before, it might have gone almost unmentioned, or at least not described as totally critical. On the other hand, they absurdly have no time limit on how long previous to a goal a…

If you’re going to write a rah-rah piece like this, at least show some awareness that in general, it is known whether crossing a finish line or reaching first base, diving slows you down. Baseball players are pretty damn dumb and also earn praise for “hustle” when they dive into first, but I would think track…

And in ‘67, were there not just two divisions (East and West)?

Didn’t Deadspin or SI run a photo of them together in one game shot?

Not directly, no. Employers pay unemployment insurance, and their premiums can be adjusted based on claims from their employees. But it is basically an insurance program, not a welfare scheme. 

written about it?

If you are going to say that it is a confirmable truth that the incident is not a matter of importance, maybe you should show your work? Other than the reflex to take the side that isn’t that of the Chicago PD, can you explain how it isn’t important that this staged hate crime might negatively affect public perception…

How can corn be much better than bread? Apart from the roughage, it’s mostly starch and sugar, with negligible nutrients.

I don’t get cranking up the crowd and ambient noise so you can’t hear the announcers. 

Just barely offsides? As missed offsides go, he was quite a bit offsides. Linesmen don’t usually miss these.

Of course the ice was trash in the Coliseum last night too.

My experience in going to games is that guys are worse chatterboxes than women. It seems like every game I go to, there are two dudes behind me who jabber like the proverbial schoolgirls they are not about everything but the game.

Good there were no fractures, but knee dislocation can be the more serious injury, tearing up ligaments and possibly injuring the popliteal artery, which can have life-threatening consequences.

What I find odd about comp picks is that they are often viewed as a free bonus for the teams getting them. They are that, but they also are like a government printing more money; they don’t come out of thin air and they affect the value of picks teams already hold. Every comp pick devalues all the picks coming after…

Veep was much funnier when it had something resembling actual Washington as a boundary. When everyone’s a clown, no one is funny.

Didn’t a Duke shooter accidentally make a second free throw (banged front of the rim, went straight up, straight down and in) after missing the first one not accidentally?

Hank is a funny character, but they risk lowering the stakes too much if he is too much of a clown and his operation resembles something like the Penguin ran in the Batman TV series.

If you have lower back problems, reclining ain’t gonna make much difference. It’s not like they are Lazy Boys. Airline seats recline just enough to make the person behind you miserable.
