Maryland has so very much more to lose from litigating that question than Durkin does. 

Buying him out would cost more than $5 million, which is a lot for a program that’s already stretching dollars to go forward with titanically stupid investments in new football facilities.

Yea, but there’s a few million downside$ to dumping him. 

Good for Loh, I guess, but fuck that entire fucking school.

This could not be more perfectly timed with when I’ve finally started earning enough money to plausibly donate. Fuck these assholes.

Without having read the decision itself, which I don’t see linked either here or in the underlying ESPN story, the issue appears to not be whether the PA can prove that point, but whether it matters to begin with whether that was the Bengals’ motivation for not signing him.

Can’t lose something you’re explicitly trying to get rid of. 

I don’t watch the NBA enough to make an educated statement here other than to add that if they’re worse than NHL officials, that’s quite the accomplishment. 

Resolved: Dylan Larkin is the most overhyped player in the NHL. 

You see that? That’s a ceremonial tattoo of the Susquehannock. They only give these out for taking down enemies in combat.

The expansion draft was the perfect vehicle for emphasizing McPhee’s strengths as a GM. McPhee has a solid track record of scouting guys well enough to drive hard bargains—with a few glaring exceptions named Marty Erat and Tomas Tatar, he’s never really “lost” a transaction. Giving him all the leverage in the world…

Depends on who is footing the bill for these costs. The $125,000 salary is higher than what I understand the average G-League player earns, but if the NBA is eating that cost rather than the teams there’s no reason for anyone to care. 

#KD2DC confirmed.

It’s a little over the line; rule of thumb I always used is (half your age)+7, rounded down, which for him would be 22. 

Casey, don’t listen to Drew. It’s really not that hard to maintain a well-stocked bar, since virtually everything involved is self-preserving. If you have the space, set up a small bar--it goes miles in making you appear way more sophisticated than you are. 

How are you able to reach the control knob while standing someplace you won’t get hit with ice-cold water?

Coming on the heels of the 20-game suspension for Wilson, this is an absolutely pathetic retreat by the NHL. 

Vegas was on the second night of a back-to-back, in which the first game started less than 23 hours before puck drop for the second. This was a loss for them the moment the schedule was released.

Give in and Enjoy the Leafs
