Though I completely agree that this was stupid on the part of ESPN... I find it pretty hard to believe that if they left this alone and the topic of who was calling the game started trending, we wouldn’t have seen a Deadspin article about how stupid ESPN was to not recognize this ahead of time and let it happen.

I can’t believe I’m about to write this... but I kind of like the fact that Danny Kanell said what he really felt.

No, YOU’RE crying

I don’t think it’s the have full bench argument. Marner usually serves penalties because he doesn’t do PK. With the five minute major though you don’t want to lose him the whole time.

The logic is sound though... Marner usually serves penalties...but he is also incredible 4 on 4. If Columbus gets a minor while the Major is going on you get essentially 2 minutes of 4 on 4 guaranteed.

I know we all hate Chris Berman... But Dante “son of a” Bichette is still one of the best nicknames in baseball. Up there with Albert “Winnie the” Pujols and Octavio “don’t ask’ Dotel

One might say that Steph didn’t curry any favors with the Sager family after that performance

Well the Rams beat Seattle, and Seattle beat New England... So Chip Kelly is basically two times the coach Bill Belichick will ever be

The cops just left. I assume to get a hot dog or cheese curds

Well he didn’t punch the parking attendant... Pay attention, he’s matured

I’m a big fan of Mike Babcock and of the Leafs and of the Oilers and of Connor so this pains me (just as much as the last decade of watching hockey)... but isn’t there always going to be one guy in the league that is faster than everyone else? I mean Mike Gartner was seconds ahead of everyone else and Babs was around…

Is it weird that this brought up some emotions and feelings when the camera panned to that last Santa. Almost looking exasperated knowing that there was no way he was going to defeat the penguins

Then the camera panned to the penguins coming around the corner and you knew that Santa was going to die... but as they…

Probertly a good idea... or else we’ll all be going to Hull

All this proves is that a Harvard education means nothing, since Ryan Fitzpatrick has willingly entered this game

You’re right

Talk about Celtic manners...

Add neckbraces to the list of things that Russians don’t have.

She has really put on weight since Evita

That was an ice cold finish

And the Jays own his son now
