Did Mark Messier make the list? Or did his Vancouver experience knock him out? He is still the only player to Captain two separate teams to championships in the only North American sports where the captain actually matters.

The tournament bulds in the narrative, the overarching structure that brought about the match, not the psychology, which is the actual story told by the match. Ric/Osprey was lacking in that area. Again, I have to say that I enjoyed the match as an exhibition, but I would give it 3 🌟 rating because that’s what it…

Nothing like starting the day with some sexist asshole spewing misogynist bullshit. Grow up loser.

To be fair to Cena, he has had HIS finish kicked out of, probably more than anyone else in wrestling. To the point that I haven’t ever thought that the first 4 AA’s I see in a match are the “go home”.

Osprey/Ricochet is such a divisive topic still. I enjoyed the athletic display, but absolutely agree with the old timers that it lacked psychology​and story telling. The problem I had with the match is it didn’t make you care who won, and while impressive as an athletic exhibition, when every match looks like that, it…

You got the end of that headline wrong it should have finished “....Sparks staged wrestling contract signing style ‘brawl’ where no actual punches were thrown”.

I wonder if he includes the massive, rampant PED use that went on in Boston in the late 90s and aughts by the likes of him, Manny, Schilling, Millar, Damon, Trot, Varitek etc... and the fact that they were let off the hook because of George Mitchell’s ties to and bias towards the Red Sox? As a general rule I don’t…

Your take is silly. An outlier is exactly what goalies are. The Penguins were massively outplayed by Washington. They gave up way more scoring chances and spent the majority of the series pinned in their end. They were outplayed, got the puck luck, and pulled off a lucky win. Luck is a massive part of hockey.…

Yeah, they might goon it up, but they don’t have the forward depth to handle Nashville. The great thing about this series is seeing the top 2 defense corps in the NHL go at it.

Ummm, he was good but not spectacular in 2009 (a pretty poor .908 save % and 0 shut out) and Malkin was so clearly the best player on the team in 2009 it wasn’t even close. Fluery was great in 2008 and is probably responsible for the continued existence of Michel Therrien as an NHL coach following his mid season…

The funny thing is how few people get that Dodger fans, while hating the Yankees for beating them in so many World Series, didn’t see that as a blood fued. The REAL hatred was Dodgers/Giants. Hell, Duke Snider said he HATED himself for playing for them in 68 or whatever year it was. The Yankees played in the other…

God, as a manager I would both love and hate guys like this. I want pitchers that never want to come out of the game, and want to compete on every at bat. The problem is in big games and big spots they will lie and say they aren’t out of gas when they really are (see Pedro Martinez, 2003 ALCS). I love the Nats though.…

My dad grew up a Dodgers fan in Queens (which was Giants territory for those that don’t know) when they moved, he refused to become a Mets fan, seeing them as successors to the Giants not the Dodgers. When CBS took over the Yankees and ran them into the ground, he started rooting for them because they became awful.…

It always amuses me how when Jordan, who is a dyed-in-the-wool, no doubt about it asshole did stuff like this, he was the greatest and showing his “competitive fire” but when LeBron, a sometimes misguided, but ultimately much more decent human being than the incapable of gratitude Jordan does something of this nature…

Yes.

Well, he took steroids for years....

There is no way Harper is in DC next year. Sorry.

Darren Wilson is back in St. Louis?

With the Bruins out of the playoffs, somebody had to take over the diving mantle. In all seriousness those two teams (Boston and Pittsburgh) are in a world of their own when it comes to embellishment. The Flames are pretty bad too, but nobody is on the level of Marchand and Sid’s respective teams. Sigh, oh well, it’s…

But this is so much fun, you have the Sox catering to their salty, racist, childish, toxic fanbase (the one that thinks Curt Schilling is a hero) by constantly throwing at a guy who executed a normal slide and crushes homers off of them at every opportunity (It is going to be so delicious when Machado is a Yankee.) As…
