Phil Simms is the worst announcer ever.

Audette was our Marchand. It's true.

I don't think term is the issue, I think it's dollars. Risto's team is targeting Ekblad, Murray targeting Rielly.

Yup. Was it you who mentioned gambling earlier? The wake of Sunday's loss is a classic example of the sort of public overreaction that Vegas feasts on.

We're going to win

On a slightly lighter note, am I the only one who wants to be included in all future Colin Powell email chains? I'm pretty sure he thinks everyone is an idiot :lol:

I don't think saying the votes are complicit in racism is vilification either, but I think your earlier posts about "a vote for Trump is a vote for racism" is. I'm also meaning to get back and reply to a bunch of stuff, but the conversation moved at light speed and I fell hopelessly behind :lol: Edit: Not that I think Trump is likely to follow suit, but it's worth noting Lyndon Johnson was a southern segregationist as a Texas senator, then went on to sign into law the most significant civil rights legislation in this country's history as president.

Qwk, have you ever been in a situation where your very way of life (to say nothing of your family's) was at stake if you weren't bringing home a quality paycheck? I think Trump is every bit as detestable as you do, and I am quite concerned about the consequences of this campaign for the future of politics in this nation. This is even one of those spots where I think those on the right could help move the conversation forward if they'd confront it rather than deny. But it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine people who put other things first. Not everyone has the luxury of worrying about these things, and those people who have real world survival concerns shouldn't, by default, be vilified.

Yea, I agree. Still a fun team at least.

As in blue line, team defense...or both? Look at the top forwards. Do any of them play a lick of defense?

No matter how bad we think it will be, it won't top the Browns game in the snow during the Edwards era.

Ultimately I think the problem with racial discourse in this country is the left is willing to say race is an issue on anything where there's even the smallest possibility, and the right basically always dismisses it because people aren't literally saying "I hate the coloreds". Each of these tendencies feeds into the other, and we get stuck in a negative feedback cycle. The left's loosey goosey racial accusations only reinforces the right's belief that they just label everything racially, and that dismissal from the right only fuels the left's belief that the right is actively trying to deflect from real racist beliefs. And round and round it goes without meaningful dialogue to move things forward. However useless it is, the constant cycle of accusation and denial is self-reinforcing. What we really need is a large group of leaders on the left to say things like "Yea, bad things are likely to happen if you go for a cop's gun and that's not race-based" and a large group of leaders on the right to say "Yea, there are some very real racial biases that need to be addressed, and_____ is an example of it". Neither of those things appears to be on the horizon, unfortunately.

I don't like seeing you grateful and joyous. How can I go about ruining your day? Create a Corsi statistic for politics? Call RJ washed up? :p On presidential health, here's a timely article on the scenarios if something happens to the top of the ticket: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/09/14/what-happens-if-a-u-s-presidential-candidate-withdraws-or-dies-before-the-election-is-over/

You're as coooooold as ice.

I can't believe you included Miller without a WTF wave gif. For shame. I'm sure PA will rectify this...unless Freeman broke his hands this morning.

Risto is gonna have a huge season.

I believe that was Donahoe.

Good to see Pekka Rinne in last season form.

That's precisely how I read it.

There's a joke about the Bills offense to be made here.

Thanks. I can't believe I couldn't remember the lacrosse shoulder pads.

Steve Shields! I was at the Philly playoff game where he fought...someone? Philly has had so many goalies it's hard to remember.

Yes--gotta put ol' Ripper in the will.

Fine, but when you get stuck with Pi's old avatar, you'll have nobody to blame but yourself.

Yup. Marginal effects. I'm old enough to remember Romney promising under $2 gallon gas if he was elected. Then it happened... under Obama with no change in policy to promote it. Business cycle gon' business.
