My conspiracy theory is that Jerry knew the number weeks ago or even before Zeke held out, but they’re betting that he stays healthier by doing his workouts in Cabo than he would if he were in training camp.

Can you go to meetings if you think you have a problem but aren’t sure?  I’ve wanted to but feel like I’m invading a safe space.

“That’s not like him...” they say.

I get the parent’s grief. But blaming some locker room attendant for running out to score him some drugs and not Skagg’s himself is some next level denial. His death is indeed tragic and I wish he got some help, but it was his decision to make this fatal mistake. Jamming up some underling is bullshit.

This is just sad. I battled with addiction for a number of years and have been sober for 4 years now. I count myself lucky that I cleaned myself up before fentanyl started flooding the market. I have known so many people...good people...that have died as a result of this shit that I sometimes feel desensitized to the…

I’m sorry, it’s too early to talk about curling.

The only thing that matters with this situation is if it somehow fucks up the Leafs. Overpay him and get stuck in salary cap hell? Great! Don’t pay him and watch him walk or play in Europe? Awesome! Even better if he’s a great player for the Isles!

he was right to edit you

First a bunch of managers and now 14% of their corporate staff? If “ABANDON SHIP” isn’t ringing in the head of every Gamestop employee at this point, I don’t even know what to tell them. It’s time to update that resume and find another job QUICKLY.

If Ryan was the one who went down, then the headline would have been “Dan Quinn is a Fucking Idiot”.

I could rag on the AV club for all the things I dislike about what’s hip in music today, but instead I’ll give kudos for highlighting that Lonnie Liston Smith track.
