  1. Based on the portions of the game I saw, I liked what he was doing. Such a smart, smart player. He made probably half a dozen plays that I really liked, but none of them went anywhere because his line mates didn't continue to carry the play.
  2. Smallish player from a relatively obscure hockey country (the Russian affiliation notwithstanding) -- a lot to cheer for with that guy.
  3. The rookie CB, Tre White, was named the NFL's defensive rookie of the month. It remains to be seen how much regret will be felt, if any, for the team's passing on the QBs that were selected in round 1. But credit to the franchise for getting a good one late in round 1.
  4. He just has not struck me as a regular NHLer on a good team. Not yet anyway.
  5. There's tons of good, often great, content out there on Twitter from all sorts of everyday people. And there's tons of terrible, even soul-crushing, content out there on Twitter from several types of everyday people. It's a bit of a trick sifting the wheat from the chaff (sp?).
  6. No doubt: Falcons are a huge test. And I gotta say: I’m cautiously optimistic.
  7. There’s the D Lo we know and ... know.
  8. I have come to believe quite firmly that engaging with POTUS on these matters only serves to feed into what POTUS is trying to accomplish.
  9. I can understand having an issue with signing a guy who's arguably a total plug. Defending D-Lo, though? That is madness. Holy moly - that is exactly it. Exactly.
  10. Per CBS: Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino was placed on unpaid leave by the university on Wednesday in a move that means the Hall-of-Fame coach has been "effectively fired" his attorney told the Louisville Courier-Journal. .... A source told CBS Sports' Gary Parrish that Louisville has no intention of ever allowing Pitino to coach the Cardinals again.
  11. I haven't seen much preseason action, but I've followed along on Twitter with people like Kris Baker and similar pundit types. On two occasions, maybe even in different games, I can recall a Tweet and subsequent replies about how D-Lo's play was a mystery right now. Basically, Baker's content indicated that D-Lo was exhibiting neither the energy nor physicality that he needed to show in order to be useful to an NHL team.
  12. That might be "damning with faint praise" on a whole new level. If rostered, D-Lo would arguably be the worst skater in the NHL.
  13. Return of the pedantic semantic? If it's leave as of now, then I'd guess it's an involuntary unpaid leave in contemplation of terminating him. There's probably a contractual provision that makes it more cost-effective for the school to place him on leave and then s-can him after a certain period of time elapses.
  14. Rick Pitino's been fired as a result of the investigation, allegations.
  15. I should like to hear reports of the team looking lively and entertaining. We should ... like that. /bad Queen of England impersonation voice.
  16. More of the same from GM TM - the guy loves the LAK organization and its talent pool. .... Oh. Right.
  17. Do recall that, of course. Wasn’t sure what the connection was to cheese.
  18. Hahaha. ... What?
  19. This is all more than fair. Fair, and agreed. The way in which he chose to respond to such a difficult chapter in his family's life is quite admirable. So, Komen's a scam, or close to it?
