I suggest you go back and read the first portion of that post if you really think that's what I'm saying. Your relevance as a whole and as the main mouthpiece of a sports league are two completely different things.

Legendary? I can't wait for that label to go to his head.?

A broadcast network can air whatever they want. They're the message presenter, not the talent. If Cherry really wants to present these topics, there's a venue for it where it's not done on someone else's dollar, the dollar of someone who doesn't like that message.
-
I just wish that instead of instantly condemning anyone with opposing views, we would instead try to understand why they have them. With Cherry, you have a guy who grew up during world war 2 and it's immediate aftermath. I'm not surprised that someone like that would have the views he has. That's not really the issue here. If we stopped the presses each time an old person had a controversial view, nothing would ever get published. Hmmm, maybe that's why print died. He's got every right to think how he does and I understand why. That doesn't mean he should have a national broadcast to spout those thoughts. His time has passed and it's time to move on.

Now I'm trying to picture handing that role over to a 24 year old. He must have gone gray in about a week.

I'm a bit shocked to see that McClean is only 59. He's looking a bit older than that clip.

Any relation to Kenny?

I think we may both be down a forward tomorrow. -

Getting a live game while I'm working from home is a nice perk. -
@mike555555555555555, if you ever log out, how do you remember how many 5s you have in your name in order to log back in?

You call them swimming goggles, but we all know you wear them to the office daily.

Someone dumped a giant bag of sour patch kids in our office kitchen today. I'm in heaven.

Remember when Ville Leino opened the year with a goal but then it felt like he never scored again?
-
I'm pretty sure the suggestion was that they also are looking to add forward in exchange for D. They've been dressing 7 d-men most nights, so they're in no shape at the moment to move out a forward.
-
Two weeks ago wasn't an Oklahoma thing though. That one looks like a Dallas thing to me. Unfortunately, these are things you just have to get used to as an out of market fan. Fortunately you do have a cheap solution to the problem in these cases. You want another fun one? Take a look at the CBS early map in that link from two weeks ago. Airing the Rams in St. Louis seems like a good slap in the face to most people.
-
It can be fun to pick out these random crazy spots on those maps. The green on Flagg's map is Miami-Indy. I'm too lazy to try to figure out the little cells in New Orleans and Atlanta. Neither town is a division rival. The early Fox game is fun too around the Oklahoma area... Kyler Murray.
-
That's this week's map. So the answer is Baker Mayfield.
-
I suppose they could look to upgrade on Rodrigues. That's a bit of an odd spot to target in trade, the 13th forward, particularly if you aren't moving out a forward or two in any of these deals.

Each time I see a nets highlight I feel like I’m watching a hazy black and white screen.
-
They might be interested because he's the nephew of a guy who played there for 3 years?
-
Yes, but the days themselves are getting shorter. Over the course of November the sunset pushes back 20 minutes. It's an hour+ earlier than what I would have had it set for in the summer. At some point I need it to turn on earlier than before.
-
You know what I hate about this time of year? Having to change the time on those crappy light timers. You know, where you raise and lower all the little tabs so that you can have our light turn on/off somewhat close to the actual time you're aiming for. I have one behind a giant piece of furniture that I have to move each time. Then as I reach to plug it back in, I inevitably push in one of the tabs and then have to start all over again. I finally caved the other day and bought a smart plug to replace that time. I think those are a completely unnecessary piece of technology aimed at lazy people, but I'm so sick of moving that furniture, potentially scratching the wood floor and knocking every picture frame down to the ground. From now on, I'm setting that timer on my phone.

I've never been looking at this from a Sabre-only prospective. Me personally, I have no issue if a team wants to fly over a spare skater when they're already at 23, particularly if one or two of those 23 are banged up a bit, but not necessarily IR-worthy banged up. If the league does have restrictions on that kind of travel (if if if if if), I'd hope they have the ability to be a bit more lenient for these international series. See, I'm not trying to suggest something completely unreasonable, like a busload of reserves.
-
I have no idea how the distance works out, but flying to Sweden would be a different animal because you're losing time as you go that way. You're heading towards a 2PM eastern staring time as opposed to a 10PM starting time on the west coast. I'm mostly thinking here about what what classify as a catastrophic situation. Yeah, you're not going to have 5 guys fall to injury in one game, but I would expect the league to provide a little leeway for these international series to account for it. These are marquee events for the league, so I'd fully expect the league and the PA to work together to make sure the product is maximized. It doesn't even need to be explicitly stated in the CBA, just that the league/PA could agree in case of extraordinary circumstances. I thought there were some restrictions on non-rostered players traveling with the team, but it's been a while and I don't remember the specifics.

Ignore the youngsters, I'm right there with you.
