Weave

A buddy of mine has one. He takes it camping with him. Very credible pizzas come out of it. If I don't build a pizza oven I'll buy a Big Green Egg or equivalent. They will get hot enough for good pizza.

My next house WILL have an outdoor wood fired pizza oven. Rakish, I like the fan idea. I hadn't seen a fan in the plans I've seen online. Get that oven up to at least 650 degrees or just call take out. 700-750 is better still. And, what LTS said about cup and char 'roni.

Kid in Kenosha walked right by the cops, rifle on display, as a shooting just occurred, and the cops never stopped him to inquire. Of course the ensuing arrest well after the fact was peaceful. The optics are just awful, regardless. And so many of these have come out on on top of another. All explained away in many circles. At some point the optics of it dominate. You can’t expect this many unarmed people to get shot and not have significant push back.

2nd tier league. Seems about right. I don’t think he’ll have an NHL career of any significance.

I have no recollection of the last 4 days. My traveling ID is missing. I'm oddly relaxed this morning. I have strange memories of alot of time in a vehicle, a fake Russian accent and the hills of Pennsylvania maybe? Or maybe that was just the first week at the new job. Stand down, folks. It's all beginning to come back to me now.

Hooked the trailer up at 0 dark 30 this AM with the intent to get some fishing in since the wind died down to nothing. Did my walkaround before leaving the driveway and found my trailer license plate missing. WTF? Not sure when that might've happened. I do a walkaround every time before I drive off. So, instead of a morning on the water I will be spending the morning in the DMV. It went from awesome to suck in a hurry.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Today I learned something.

It is as long as you aren't collecting a network TV paycheck.

The right word isn’t at my fingertips, but government accepted killings is close enough I guess.

Surely you can acknowledge that government sanctioned killings are quite a different issue than civilian killings, and government may actually listen when there is protests. How does one reach individual citizens with this sort of protest?

*cough* Yuri *cough*

*mumbles something unintelligible *

Boy, you made that happen.

9pm and we have a brown out. Lovely. Nothing like unplugging everything and going to bed....

For starters, it could damage the relationship between the NHL and NBC...

In the same league in terms of severity, no. In the same league in terms of being chauvinistic in subject matter, absolutely.

The overall point was situational awareness. Milbury, in a public facing role, should have had enough of it to understand that what he brings has increased scrutiny now and needs modification.

@JohnCYou disagree that a company should remove a voice that that is likely to cause it’s business harm? Cuz that is my point. It seems obvious on its face that any company would and should protect its name and brand, which is what happened here.

No, it was a genetics comment that did it.

So, if your performance is no longer considered to be up to standards You expect your employer to wait for a renewal period to move you along? That is simply not reasonable or realistic. Yes, he’s been on the air for years as a known quantity. Standards change. He hasn’t. His own lack of foresight is the problem, really. Situational awareness is part of living and working in any corporate environment. Evolve or die. We all deal with it. He just did too. And really, the argument that free flow of ideas is being stifled is ridiculous. 1. What free idea was he expressing? That men can’t focus in the presence women? Such valuable insight that should be protected. And 2. Noone is stopping him from spreading his opinion publicly. They are stopping him from tying his opinion to NBC. And that really is the beginning and end to it. He’s always free to find or create an outlet for his viewpoints. The internet is full of venues for his commentary. Congratulations on your ability to ignore boorish behavior and rationalize its presence. I’m not convinced it is a superior trait here. Edit to add: Milbury just watched a co-worker get let go for commentary that fits the same genre as the commentary he was just let go for airing. Again, it comes down to situational awareness and changing standards. Milbury's advance notice of the new on air standard was Roenick's dismissal. f Mike Milbury couldn't do the mental gymnastics to equate Roenick's firing and the commentary that preceded it, to what he was offering on the air, then he's simply not smart enough to survive.

Your blind spot isn't regarding any cancel culture. It is in regards to an out of date acceptance of borderline misogynistic commentary. You aren't seeing it for what it is, hence he defense of it. And as so well put in the article posted earlier, it isn't about cancel culture anyway, it is about setting a standard for behavior in broadcasting. Milbury no longer performs at that standard.

If I remember correctly, this was your stance with the Roenick comments too. I think you have a blind spot. Having said that, this certainly wasn't one of Milbury's worst comments on the air. Is it deserving of backlash? Probably. Is it worthy of outrage? Probably not. It's one of his typical, juvenile, borderline comments he's made a career out of.

And I can't put a finger on it. It's a little like Sam's first two seasons. He never showed the flashes of what I see when I see a good center. I can't define it, but I didn't see it. And that's why I was so vocal early on that Sam was likely a RW, not a center. However, Sam did show flashes of "he's going to be a good NHL forward". .I don't get that sort of vibe with Casey. It's not an "he's not ready" vibe. It's a "he's not showing flashes that he's figuring it out" vibe.

I can’t speak to Casey’s metrics, but he doesn’t pass the eye test. He doesn’t look like a future NHL player. Did the others? Did they show glimpses of something that said “this guy is gonna make it”? Cuz Casey sure hasn’t.
