  1. Don't forget about all of the obscene rap lyrics heard clear as day even though the listener is wearing headphones. That may be the most common thing at the gym.
  2. I was watching on a treadmill at the gym yesterday. It’s a YMCA, so I felt like I should probably switch away during the sex scene. It’s funny how that’s the line in my mind as opposed to all the violence.
  3. I would have thought that #1 was common knowledge around here, at least among the 40+ year olds.
  4. Lately my movie that I have to watch when it is on is Deadpool. I’ve watched it three days now in a row this week. I own the damn thing but I still sit through the edited with commercials version. Speaking of the editing, they’ve gotten much more loose with that. The f bombs are flying now, at least on FX. It’s funny that MFer is still over the line though.
  5. So once we hit November, we can ask you?
  6. I can't decide which is more random, his inclusion or the Gretzky jersey.
  7. That one's fitting since it's a one time thing. I'm thinking about someone who may have thrown an A on the 50th anniversary jersey and now that guy no longer has an A. I'm not really sure why someone would have done that, maybe a collector or something, but it sucks for that guy. It's not really a big deal, but just a scenario that popped into my mind for no reason whatsoever.
  8. This has me a bit curious. I like to buy jerseys with the C on them. Do they ever put the A on the jerseys they sell?
  9. 75
  10. Ahhh, I misread the situation. Kuemper's new deal hadn't been added to the payroll I was looking at. The deal doesn't kick in until next year, so it really doesn't matter as of today. But next year when they're both making 4+? My guess is that one of them gets moved prior to that.
  11. The money suggests that the starter and backup designations are reversed. Interesting. It'll be worth keeping an eye on that to see if it changes.
  12. Kessel has a hot dog.
  13. Every single time I see a "baby on board" sticker, I immediately respond with "something something, Burt Ward".
  14. Meanwhile Diepetro is still getting $1.5 million a year for 10 more seasons (counting this one). It's no Bobby Bonilla, but it's a nice deal if you can get it.
  15. I can't wait until our neighborhood "I'm a fan of this team now because they're winning" guy chimes in on this one.
  16. Pilut in Rochester makes perfect sense, especially due to the injury. But what I don't understand about it is if both he and Jakiharju have the same exact cap hit, how flipping the two has any impact on the cap figure. If you send down 925K and call up 925K, you still have the same cap figure. So that leads me to believe that they don't actually have the same cap hit, but it's tough to whittle these things down to the actual daily figures, particularly if there's some bonus in there that's tough to find. There is one other little game being played in these moves that may not have been noticed yet. Dea, Ellie, and Smith all have the same cap hit. So why call up Dea? He's the only one of those guys with a one way deal. So even if it's just one single day's pay, they some real money. He makes the same number either way, but calling up either of the other two would give them a bigger paycheck. Of course, that whole thought is out the window if these guys don't actually count as being on the team for one day. Again, figuring out this stuff on a day-to-day basis is a major headache.
  17. Taro has spelled it all out nicely in the lineup thread.
  18. He was sent down a day or two ago. Take a look at that most recent post, it lists Pilut as being recalled.
  19. @Taro T, I see Pilut and Jokiharju with the same exact cap hit. So why the need for the swap of those two? Is there some signing bonus somewhere that I’m not seeing or does the one extra year on Jokiharju’s deal factor in somehow?
  20. Good for them. I’m too lazy to do the math, but I’m assuming the found the perfect combination of contracts to get them exactly to the cap.
  21. Take a look at where his arms are the entire time. That’s he perfect example of the problem the NFL has with these hits. He’s not trying to tackle, he’s trying to hurt.
  22. I mean that as generally as possible. But to clarify it slightly, these kind of things can end relationships, even the strong ones.
  23. None intended. It was probably worded poorly, but the husband's going through it too. If his mind's not in the right place either, things could take a wrong turn.
  24. If it was the other way around and Brady took the hit, the Bills player would probably have been executed by now.
  25. We need to reach a point where it is perfectly acceptable, legal even, to punch someone in the face after they ask that question. That's one thing that has become incredibly clear while reading about this over the course of the day. No matter how badly you feel after something like this, you are never alone. The help is readily available as long as you're willing to seek it. Unfortunately, I'd bet that far too often, the person they look to the most for that help is the one who is probably the worst equipped to provide it, the husband. edit: I’ll modify this thanks to sizzle. What I mean is that they turn to the husband and no one else. It’s that internalizing thing that taro was getting at earlier.
