How am I trashing the dude?

You make it a point to quote "mentor" and "coach" repeatedly to deride the guy. Maybe I have a lower bar than you for "trashing" somebody, but that pretty much clears it to me. Now, whether or not he should be able to ignore it or not is another topic, but the trashing is pretty cut and dry imo.

I don't know. I think one would be that as far as he can tell, play is still going on. If he stops and his replacement is already coming on you have too many guys on the ice. Or the fact that he looks pretty damn confused as he's sitting on the bench there. This one in particular is a tough spot though since he didn't go through concussion protocol and played the rest of the game. If he cops to having concussion-like symptoms then that opens up a whole different set of issues for the team.

On the contrary, the last second jerk looked more like an "oh shite" reaction to me. And grabbing the stick with his off hand is probably second nature when coming off the ice to lift it over the boards when he goes in the door.

:lol: Yeah thinking a guy that just took a head shot on the boards might have been a little disoriented is pretty fricking dumb. No way he could have had his eyes closed or anything. Thinking a 12 year vet with no real history of being a thug wouldn't be dumb enough to intentionally level an official in clear view of both benches is the dumbest thing you read in a while? Cool

Habanero Sculpin was definitely not my jam. Free sample at a place, but there's no way I could have finished a whole one.

Yeah I guess I should take a more rational approach like most people in this thread and go with something along the lines of "Absolutely no excuse. That guy should immediately be kicked out of the league forever."

Meh. He gets right up on him and the legs turn sideways the instant before impact like he saw him RIGHT before the hit and it was too late to avoid. He was clearly woozy after the hit he just took on the boards. I just don't think it was entirely malicious on his part - careless for sure, but I don't think that's rest-of-the-season suspension worthy.

It's really not quite as bad as it seems in full context.

Think he is in Dallas. There was a $1M ticket sold here, but definitely not a jackpot winning ticket.

According to Phil Steele about 10 minutes ago...
So it looks like it's already moved through the key number

You are correct. Here is the gallery of SI covers. All dated so you can see which weeks have multiple (regional) covers. LF is the only one this week.

I've been experimenting with the fivethirtyeight bracket predictor thingy, and they have Oklahoma State at 59% likely to win outright, so I tossed a few bones on that.
FWIW they also had UAB and Ga. State more likely to win than the prices on them, so I had both of those MLs yesterday small. Gave some back with Ole Miss and LSU :angry:

It would just water the talent down.
To some, that's a key component of the argument. Pitching staffs are loaded from top to bottom with 95+ mph arms. Expand, and watch a natural infusion of offense come back to the game. It's worked every other time in the history of MLB.

Honestly, I think there should be contraction of two teams
With US population growth, and the growth of the overall world talent pool, there is some good evidence that MLB should actually expand if they want to improve the overall product on the field.
