Press should be the first sub off the bench over Lloyd. She’s the fastest player on the team, has a ton of technical ability, and has widened her game beyond just scoring—she could lead this team in assists. I’d argue she should be starting over Morgan, but I like my sanity.

Made for the following people in their entirety:
You, Me

Left eared and right-handed here, but I’m in no way shape or form a creative person. I think it might be because in the old days I put the receiver to my ear with my left hand and dialed with my right. 

If you think that choice of music was perfect give me a ‘Hell yeah!’

The fact that the team chose that moment to play the Stone Cold Steve Austin theme makes this so much better.

DID NO ONE NOTICE THE STONE COLD MUSIC RIGHT ON QUEUE?!

He’d be fine: there’s no way, even with his stick, that Marchand can reach Chara’s jaw.

See here’s the problem with the last meal scenario.

Personally, I think it’s extremely good and not horrifically scary that our country is run by a grotesque cabal of sundowning racist grandpas.

Every year I tell my students that “Respect is not earned. It is lost.”

Deicide vs Pope...the symbology was too beautiful for this world.

By that standard, Chastity Gooch-Fant should have at least made the final.  Only weakness is the name raises more questions than it answers.

As a Blues fan and child of the 90s, the Wings were the friggin’ boogyman to me. They were like Thanos come playoff time - “Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same.”

I still think my #1 Deicide Huxtable got jobbed, though she probably would have gotten steamrolled by Pope Thrower anyway.

I can’t believe how amazing the Blues played after that hand pass goal loss in OT. Losing that way on home ice would have killed so many teams, particularly an inexperienced playoff team such as St. Louis. Game four was a statement that the Blues were not going away easy. Games five and six were absolute routs.

It is…

St. Louis vs. Boston:

Congratulations to Former Deadspin Commenter Jon Hamm.

Some of the most important sports stories ever are important because of their intersection with politics. How do you tell a politics-free version of the story of Jackie Robinson, or the Munich Olympics?

Not everything does. But sometimes sports and politics (broadly defined) are going to intersect, and locking up when that happens like one of those fainting goats when it is frightened is worthy of derision.
