  1. I barely even read the Cubs Discussion board at all anymore. It's nothing but Kyle, jersey and David having the same circular argument in every [expletive] thread, all of which make me want to inject heroin into my forehead. I watched all of three games last season and I might bet the under on that this year
  2. because they're scoring over and over but in the NHL, you cycle through new guys. If it goes 7 or 8 "innings", you're 3rd SO skater doesn't do innings 3-8
  3. why are the same two guys shooting over and over?
  4. Kane vs. Bobrovsky.....that's a fun matchup. Tried going 5-hole and got stonewalled
  5. I think interference getting called more consistently also helps the pace. I think that is something the NHL could easily do and have at times tried, but do not carry through. I just love that it makes forechecking/line clogging a bigger risk, because if you whiff, you get burned. It speeds up the action and keeps it from just being dump and chase/tie-up on the wall hockey
  6. So any chance the NHL moves to the bigger ice? I guess some arenas might not be able to accommodate it, but it's such a beautiful thing to watch
  7. We've got a chain called Donato's that makes amazing pepperoni pizza. They put a million slices on, and the pepperoni is really crispy, which is amazing
  8. He was fantastic on "That's Incredible!"
  9. Confetti/balloons! You're the 1,000,000th person to make this joke today
  10. Penn State can't beat anyone, but they win @OSU and @IU? Lol, ok
  11. In non-beer news, apparently the NCAA is considering a rule that would make it illegal to snap the ball for 10 seconds after it's spotted and the play clock starts. This is to make it "fair" for defenses to have time to substitute players. In other words, Nick Saban bitches loudly about no-huddle offenses and the NCAA bows down to it
  12. Ohio State is one of the worst 19 win teams in the country
  13. I'm all for the trolling, but someone explain to me the point of a baseball mock draft?
  14. The biggest positive of this story is that Orr is now a nationally known jackass who is being called an idiot by every talking head in radio and TV
  15. Draft websites have him anywhere from 85ish to 115ish overall, and between the 9th to 12th best DE
  16. Relevant http://www.theonion.com/video/russia-applauds-americas-efforts-to-exclude-gay-at,35181/
  17. seems silly to project this team 8 years out
  18. Congrats, you're now tied with the pooptacular Nittany Lions
  19. That's even cooler than I imagined
  20. I like that Clark still has Soriano's hands
  21. I've only watched the last 15 minutes or so.....has it all been this bad? Because this is really bad
  22. Ducks were "unstoppable" at home, but have now dropped 2 straight (CBJ and CHI)
  23. ends up being $135 million. largest contract in Braves history
  24. I was partial to Eduardo's when I lived there
  25. you act like you're surprised every single game. it's always awful, so the good teams gameplan for it. if the refs are going to let you flop, flop like crazy good games "game plan" for bad officiating? and flopping? how's that work, john wooden jr.? I'm saying that at some point, one has to make the bad officiating work for you instead of bitching about it. Sadly, it's now just an expected part of the game. So yes, if the refs are going to reward flopping, why wouldn't you flop in a close game? How is that any different than holding the [expletive] out of people in football if the refs are going to allow it?
