well up until this year that may be a valid, albeit douchey, argument....BUT the rule has changed this year! you can no longer play catcher that way, so now you're not only a douche, you're a wrong douche

wow another piece of completely awful commentary from Barry Petchesky, big surprise...this guy is singlehandedly ruining Deadspin

maybe it's just basketball as a whole, but I'm just not impressed

and as a lifelong resident of Wisconsin, I'd like to say "Fuck MongoOnlyPawnInGameOfLife"

you're just the worst kind of "fan"

*Karmanos, but yes, lol, well said

you seem to have just proven the point of this whole damn thing :)

Am I crazy that I would totally bet on Wisconsin if they played Michigan State again?

yes, it Does make Yovani tougher, actually

lol I've always thought Osgood was a douche, thanks for the confirmation

This may be the shittiest article Deadspin has ever published. What a fucking joke. Sounds like the author really just has Defensive-Heat-Fan-Syndrome.

Mr. Bonds:

it certainly does, kinda surprised you didn't preface that with "Sorry if I sound like a douche"

haha came to post that, but you beat me, +1

jeez what's next they tweet picture of themselves stuck on the stairs?

The deal Kovy ended up playing one was similar to those deals, yes, but the initial one they tried (and were punished for) was far more egregious than those deals, so you cannot compare them like that.

"The two teams won't meet again in the regular season, but both are solidly in the playoff hunt."

seriously, wtf is this thing? it makes Arturs Irbe's mask look like Eddie Belfour's..

right? hardly a "tantrum"...another editorialized headline....

Wouldn't call it blowing off, as he was asked to carry the flag in the opening ceremonies for Slovakia, so the team let him leave for the Olympics two games early. It's a huge honor for him and the Bruins respect that.
