I <3 Gary Fisher. I follow him on Instagram and nearly fell off my chair when I got the notification that he’s following me back. Like why is Carrie Fisher’s dog following me? As a huge Star Wars fan, I was(am) irrationally excited about it.

God, I could watch that motorcycle clip all day....

I agree. The breakdown is about $6.35m p/year, but the no move clauses were probably the most surprising factor. And yes, it could definitely hurt the Panthers in the long run. But if they want to make a go for it now/in the next 2-3 years, I guess they think it’s worth it.

Probably, but can’t fault him for going for the $$, especially after152 points (133 of them assists) in past 3 seasons.

I nearly did a spittake reading about the team - it’s huge, not only in terms of money, but no trade for 6 years and a limited no trade in the 7th year....damn Yandle - you get yours...

When the rant started, my husband (a Giants fan) and me (a Jets fan) were like ok, this is a little bizarre and weird...by the end, we were both like Affleck, FUCK OFF!!! As someone mentioned below, it was watching the worst kind of homer fan....

It’s ok. Some of the writers are really obnoxious (like on Grantland), some are fun. My fav is still Jason Concepcion’s “Ask the Maester” column (for Game of Thrones), although these past 2 weeks, readers have been submitting really dumb questions.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, if that’s what you’re in to. Personally, I like some Steely Dan songs, but not sure if it’s enough to see them in concert, free or not.

And Florida. I saw a ton of Florida shows on there.

It took forever going through the list before I found a NY/tristate area show (and it was Steely Dan at that...) Depending on your musical tastes, there are some selections for PNC and Camden in NJ...

Depending on your musical tastes, Slipknot is one of the free shows (at least in the NY-NJ area; they’re always a lot of fun); Heart & Cheap Trick tour is also on the list.

I <3 Zoobilee Zoo.

Same boat re: my team and the Caps & the loathing, but was rooting for the Preds (soft spot in my heart as Rinne, Weber and Forsberg helped me to fantasy hockey victory last season). With them out, I’ll be rooting for the Sharks over the Blues (whose goalie situation basically cost me in fantasy hockey this year!) But…

+1 for the meme and the sentiment. I am in the same boat.

I hope so! I like the Preds a lot (soft spot in my heart since Rinne, Forsberg and Weber helped me to victory in my hockey fantasy league last year) — I hope the Round 2 series is a fun one to watch.

I picked the Preds to upset the Ducks in Round 1 on the Western Conference side of my brackets; it’s about the only thing I got right on that side of my brackets...

Just commenting re: rugby — it’s pretty fun the few times I’ve watched it. I didn’t know much about it before I went on my honeymoon to London, and it happened to be the Rugby World Cup. Our last night there, it was England v. Wales and it was just a fun atmosphere to watch and be part of. That’s also on the world…

I haven’t been to the Prudential Center in awhile for games (used to get corporate tickets through work), so I don’t know how attendance has been in the Devils arena. One of them will probably go, which is sad because I like the team rivalries....

I’m not surprised. It isn’t an arena built for hockey; watching a game there is awful. (Hell, even watching a concert there is a crapshoot). Add on that it’s not really getting the corporate draw for boxes/suites like MSG and other arenas, it’s no wonder both sides are trying to get out.

Bobby Canavale and Ray Romano were the only watchable ones in the premiere. I fell asleep 1.5 hours into it; according to the hubby, I didn’t miss much after that.
