When to stand during a sporting event?

Hockey Q: Seven game series - Canada vs the rest of the World. Who ya got, in how many games? No World Cup style restrictions - Canada gets McDavid, for example.

Sure, this post is tongue in cheek, but I just want to take the time to say that Claudia Rankine RUUUUUUUUUUUULES

On one hand, I’d probably be mad too if I saw a former/potential teammate make a snarky tweet right after I’d lost a huge game (losing sucks), but on the other hand, it’s pretty clearly a shot at USA’s management and roster selection. I feel like the guys have to know that, but it’s not like they’re going to say so to…

Aren’t sunflower seeds also big for people quitting cigarettes? I thought that was a big part of their appeal, something for people to do with their mouths instead of having a cigarette.

I’m having a lot of fun imagining Russell Wilson - the most bland, robotic, trying to be brand friendly football player out there- fretting about joining in on this protest while also trying to seem into it to keep the support of his teammates.

Gasol was better than Boozer. Same frustrating style though.

After his past two years on the Bulls, I can confidently say that while Pau Gasol is a good basketball player, having him on your favorite team is incredibly frustrating. He whines to the refs at every no-call, loafs on defense, takes way too many midrange shots, and chases stats. Good twitter account though.

I’m not even a Pens fan, but I would reverse them taking Jordan Staal over Jonathan Toews in ‘06. At least for a couple years you’d be able to watch one of the greatest hockey teams ever (Crosby / Malkin / Toews at C) and the Blackhawks dynasty ceases to exist.

You gotta love Colin “Please don’t dougie, John Wall” Cowherd declaring his love for swagger and celebrations

Kind of bland, not horrible. I get that the owner has military ties but I wish sports teams would stop comparing and aligning themselves to the armed services - it weirds me out.

uh, yeah, gonna go with Scott Norwood makes the kick and the Bills win the Super Bowl. Even if they lose the next three, they would at least have that one.

This was the only highlight of that Cubs season. Sox were coming off winning a World Series and the 06 Cubs were just the sad remnants of the 2003 nearly there squad. It was so cool that 13 year old me bought a T shirt outside Wrigley with that picture of AJ getting punched on it and the lame-ass fake headline “WHO…

Fuck crows. They scavenge for food from our garbage and have the most annoying call. Herons, on the other hand, are cool.

I’m just imagining Whitlock feebly attempting to do a sit up and asking Cowherd to wait up a sec for ol’ Big Sexy.

I’ve noticed that if you slice the onion without removing the root, it keeps you from crying. (I picked that up from a Gordon Ramsay video).

Sorry, nothing is funnier than “Dialectic” being on there, with maybe a vote next to it? Because when I think sports and pop culture writing, academic jargon comes up first.

As a USA fan, it dismays me to say this, but I think the U23 team will be as good or better than the US team. Partially because the US has Tortorella behind the bench and US hockey still seems to value grit/toughness over scoring, but also because the U23 team will be fast as all hell and might be deeper down the…

Gonna co-sign on this. There is so much shady shit around the JFK assassination.

I lived in Montreal for a while, and the only uncool part of this cleanup is when someone doesn’t move their car from the street they’re going to plow that night. They run a truck up and down the block blaring a siren until the car is either moved or towed. It’s, uh, jarring, to say the least.
