This one looks to be a great example of why people need to be a little more descriptive when they label these situations as opposed to just saying victimized. Maybe I'm off on this one, but I get a completely different read from what Marions posted to where this isn't a bullying situation. If I'm wrong, good, because my read is something far worse. Broad terms used to cover just about all bases (and your own ass, at least when it comes to news reports) lead to more confusion.

Shouldn't their rebuild be ahead of ours seeing as how it started some amount of years earlier? This would be, what, their 4th or 5th attempt at it while we're currently on our 2nd/3rd?

I don’t mind the thought of moving him one bit. I don’t think the numbers so far this year will adversely effect any deal. If anything, the incredibly limited usage should actually have him in better shape for a new team thanks to less wear and tear.

If you say the new name really fast, I could see it morphing into Sally Field.

I’ll admit to not watching, but I have a hard time pinning much blame on a featured back who up until this week was averaging 7 carries a game. It seems like the “trash” label needs to be focused somewhere else.

Do you keep him for a week, give Anderson some time to learn the system, then cut Peterman after that?

I'm cool with shooting anyone who makes these comments out of a cannon. All that matters is that I'm still allowed to make one nut jokes anytime Phil Kessel is in town.

So you're saying they passed on Mahomes because they believed Peterman was the next big thing. With that belief, they then took the risk of waiting until their second pick in the 5th round to draft him. It sounds like some fun time travel hijinks are in motion. Clearly at some point McDermott will sent Peterman back in time to do the nasty with Mrs. McDermott, allowing Sean to be conceived.

Wasn't that Lex Luthor's plan in the first Superman movie?

I heard random quotes this morning from the UFC higher ups saying how bad this whole thing was. If you listen to those clips really closely, you can actually hear the shuffling sound of money being counted.

Boston has done it for years, so I bet Jacobs pitched the idea to Terry at some point. I'd be curious to see* how much of a spike they might get at the gate from it. The parents still need to be off too. *Not that I'll actually see it, seeing as how I have to work.

The EJ mention is the one that scares me simply because they both wound up starting way too early. Tyrod was pretty much what he was by the time he got here and won the job. Both EJ and Allen were thrown to the wolves way too soon. Hopefully this one doesn't have the same ending.

It's probably the worst possible time in the season to do it too. You're trying to hook your audience at this point. That's pretty tough to do when the team is already questionable, but then you add in a game that many won't be able to watch.

That was pretty filthy from Jack.

It read to me as a “haha your kids a drug addict”. I’m glad I threw it out here, because I was really hoping there was a different angle to it. Any time I see a twist on the “honor student” bumper sticker, I immediately assume it’s mockery because, let’s face it, it usually is.

I just saw a bumper sticker that did “I narcanned your honor student”. I don’t know if it’s just me, but that sticker is vile.

Except now that you celebrated, you’re about to get a baseball to the head. What exactly did you solve?

He’s evolved over time though. They initially won on defense. We’ll see if Marrone is ever around long enough to see some change. My money’s on no since no one ever does anymore.

I don't think it's interesting at all. Tennyson is only here because any other option is someone who needs to be playing as opposed to sitting in the press box. If there's a single injury, he will be bypassed by the player that is recalled.

If you were a Bruins fan, you'd have no idea what happened because you only pay attention to a team when they win.

I haven't watched these clips at all, so I'm not going to weigh in on the specifics here. All too often though, people think of responsibility always as a simple yes/no, one party is completely responsible and the other is not. That's just not how things work. It lies on a continuous scale. Yes, there can be cases where it does all fall on one person, but the vast majority of the time there's some sort of split. Does taunting someone make a punch to the face required? Of course not, but you should probably be aware of the possibility. Now this is where PC principal chimes in with the victim blaming comment, because we like to take very generic statements and re-frame them as something far more specific than they ever were. People do need to be aware of the fact that their actions can lead to unfortunate results. All I know is that if you asked both parties today about this fight, I'm guessing Eller's not all that angry about it.

Cut 42 games-worth of revenue off the schedule? It doesn't matter whether or not it should happen, it's about as likely as Babe Ruth returning to the mound for the Red Sox in game one of the ALDS.

The only way suspension should have been on the table for Marchand was if the instigator penalty was within that window where it is mandated. Apparently that's not the case since there's chatter as to whether or not a hearing was scheduled. But even then, they would have rescinded it because only in the NHL can you have something mandatory that isn't mandatory.

I want to say Beaulieu, just to go with arguably the least popular guy on the team. My second pick would be Hutton, but sadly he's not an option.

Ahhh crap, I had a feeling it could be something like that. The colors are so evenly spread and not a single shirt has fallen or shifted, so I was kind of hoping that was the seats themselves. I'd do that in a future building renovation. It's a cool look.
