You and I could do a much better job.

I know we're 100% picking him in the draft, but this whole thing seems a little premature.

Screw Rod. I hope we beat them always and forever.

This is literally all I want from beer.

Yup.

I have been avoiding the Ruby Red Kolsch because I tend to find Genny's smaller batches a little underwhelming, even for Genny. But all of these votes of confidence may entice me to give it a shot.

Laviolette just now when asked how they cover with Mike Fisher out: "We have a lot of centers", rattles off a list, "we'll get it done." Man. That's it, isn't it? Just loads of centers and just play them at wing. Whatever.

I like Karlsson, but no way.

I don't understand the whole "wanting to fight people at work" thing. Gotta think most guys just wanna show up, get their hours, and go home without being hassled too much.

Sure, but what if they're right to do it? I'm not going to say I agree with our esteemed executive leader, but I think he was at least half right with all of his railing against the media. I consume liberal media, because I'm a liberal guy, and let me tell ya: a lot of it is miserable. A lot of it is crap. The liberal media has not risen to the challenge thus far. So I think Kim challenging someone like Harrington is a good thing for the local media. Because either he's going to hit back with a big, really good story some day, or he's going to be rendered obsolete and be replaced by someone from my generation who knows how to exist as a journalist in the late first quarter of this century. Maybe the Pegulas live to regret it? I have my doubts about that...

Hasn't it always been this way? Aren't prominent people always at odds with the media? Let's see if Harrington rises to the challenge. He's being called out as a toothless fraud. The ball is in his court.

I caught the reference, just didn't want to get into a politics thing. But I understand your point. That said, this is what the media is up against now. Access is not guaranteed. Write your think pieces and hope people are reading them. But no one is reading Harrington because he has everyone blocked.

I couldn't even begin to try to extrapolate. But I would venture that PSE in general is not going to be super friendly with the schmucks in our local media. I can't say I blame them either.

Crapping on the media is very popular right now. And given how unpopular Harrington is, this kind of thing definitely hurts him more than anyone. He already has pretty much everyone blocked on Twitter because he's such a dope. Not surprised the Pegulas themselves are completely unafraid of him. That doesn't bode well for the career of someone who is paid to be taken seriously.

Neighborhood Facebook pages are my favorite. Absolutely awash with local morons for our comedic benefit.

Looking forward to San Jose locking him up long term :lol:

This is correct.

Before the playoffs I might have said this. I can't say it now. Vegas looks for real.

I dunno. I think I'd have wanted a little more production from someone I'm going to give up a 1st for when I sign him. They're going to do it. But once again SJ is out.

I feel like it's worth noting that, on the cusp of elimination, Evander Kane has had one point in this series.

:lol: I saw "inflated view of their own knowledge" and assumed this was tongue in cheek. I'm not saying women don't do it, it's just that they tend not to do it on large platforms. Sure there's insufferable stuff like "The View" or whatever, but I think women tend to be more careful with the things they say in order to avoid people (righteous men) jumping down their necks about every little thing. We tend to dominate/take over conversations women are having in public spaces, whether through verbal diarrhea or simply straight volume. Personally, as a very loud man, I have to be careful that I am not dominating conversations with women or talking over them, regardless of my intent. The trend at the moment is to start trying to turn the microscope on the things men talk about, the how, and the why, especially in the public realm. We escape scrutiny for our words far too easily and often. Speech and thought is full of learned patterns, most of them subconscious. Male domination of conversation, whether verbal or written, and the subtle cues in the words and phrases we use, is something that we should be taking greater care to be aware of. It's our responsibility. Every conversation or discussion any one of us has is almost automatically improved when a woman's voice is involved. For me, it's a lot easier to simply change the things in my speech/thought habits that are problematic than to complain about how hard/confusing it is. Crying about being forced to get smarter is not very masculine, at least in my eyes. :blush:

:thumbsup:

:lol:

It's definitely rambly. When people aren't thinking too hard about what they're saying they ramble. It's kind of a symptom of a bigger problem, which is the proliferation of dudes talking mindlessly about anything and everything, regardless of whether or not they know anything about that of which they speak. Radio, tv, podcasts, Twitter, hell...this forum.

Yup. So when I look at what Friedman is saying, as a public figure and in a public forum, I have to roll my eyes because it's just very self-centered. Someone who is worried about, I don't know, losing a female audience, might have taken a more simple and tactful approach. "I've always had good experiences with him, but I cannot speak to any of the sexism claims" is just about perfect. Is that asking too much? I don't think so. Not from someone who's entire career revolves around words and what they mean.
