So basically Ivanka is nothing more than a patronage job holder. Glad we’re clear on that now.

Cool that you think the people who put themselves out there, taking action for days, are wrong.

They recognize that it’s Sanders who offers a vision of equality and fairness that is the necessary next step.

But I’m sure you think that the people who spend the last six months organizing, showing up to townhalls and…

Hamid will turn 27 later this year, yet still hasn’t established himself as the clear successor to Howard and Guzan. By Tim Howard’s 27th birthday, he had a dozen full USA caps and was a Premiership starter. His game was showing the qualities in all aspects of the position that would eventually make him one of the…

Even as we are reading Deadspin this morning, Zack Hample is creeping around a maternity ward.

Nashville (as well as Memphis) voted Clinton over Trump by a 2:1 margin. Sure, you could argue that there are fans from suburban counties that went overwhelmingly for Trump, but you see Preds flags in front of houses and signs on lawns all over the city, and not so much in the suburbs. (On the other hand, the burden…

I’m a Nashville native who married a Buffalonian, who came with a huge extended family and a giant heap of sports grievances, and living in WNY I have heard them all. The MCM was just the AFC wild card game, so regardless of how bent out of shape Buffalonians were about it, the stakes were low, and it’s more…

Nerves, plus a dubiously disallowed 1st period goal.

I didn’t make any assumptions about what sports you personally like. My point is that even sports and teams assumed to be wildly popular are only actually followed by a fraction of the population, and the Predators’ attendance and viewership is actually better than that of many sports/teams in the area.

Sad fact: the corpses of dead climbers are used as landmarks. Look up “Green Boots.”

A blowhard British aristocrat funded an aerial mission to drop a UK flag on the peak of Everest in the 1930s: the Houston Everest Flight of 1933. it’s an amazing story. You can find a good version of it on the Wikipedia entry for “Lucy, Lady Houston” (the posh whackjob who commissioned the flight).

“In 1933, she…

Bieksa had an entertaining meltdown + game misconduct with six seconds left.

Here is the entire post goal chant:

Cute. You realize that Aberg was originally credited with the goal, and it was only annouced that the scorer of that goal was changed after Sissons had scored #3?

If “most” people caring about a sport is your criteria, the United States doesn’t care about the Super Bowl since only about 1/3 of the country watches the game, and people in Tennessee don’t care about Vols football since a substantial majority of people in the state don’t pay attention to their results.

Except the Predators’ defensemen are about 1000 times better at actually playing defense than Sens blueliners. Pat Kane’s simpering aside, the Preds aren’t about the neutral zone trap. It’s much harder to sustain possession against them.

I think that Nashville is likely to get an MLS team in the next few years, so that’ll be a bit of competition for the sports fan dollar. But no matter what rich guy in Nashville gets the expansion soccer team, they need to pay attention to how the Predators have built a following— their fans are a lot like a soccer…

Detroit fans have a long tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice (8 legs correspond to the 8 wins that it used to take to win the Stanley Cup). In the first decade of Nashville’s hockey team, many of its most dedicated fans were what were called “PredWings” - transplanted Michiganders, mostly workers at the nearby…
