Eleven

Data? Just watch the games.

Are you watching their games? They get away with stuff that no other team does. They get phantom calls that no other team does. I am willing to write it off as "good teams get the calls," but to deny the phenomenon itself?!

In the summer? Why?

BIllshit.

On the first of those, he didn't even get the ball across the line of scrimmage. It is a "good teams get the calls" thing. It happens in the NHL too. This is where we diverge.

You didn't today. Sorry, @nfreeman, but those refs sucked today. They did everything they could to bail out Brady's limp offense that scored 9 points.

Oops. Corrected.

She doesn't matter anymore. And even if she did, she isn't a valid reason for Trump to do what he does. @TrueBlueGED is right; one cannot simultaneously support Trump and also support the country and the Constitution.

Harrington is a good writer. He is was an *****, but he's a good hockey columnist. So much better than the dark days of the Gleason regime. Actually, he's been working on the ***** part, and seems to have mostly overcome it. So a correction is due.

If Simmons thinks a former GTA police officer is going to have pull in Arpaio country, he needs his head examined. OTOH... Mostly. It just isn't going to work with a former Canadian police officer and an incident in Arizona. And I'm not sure about college sports; there are way too many stories, every year, about college athletes. (And the "minor" college athletes, like volleyball players or gymnasts, or whatever, they're not going to get protection unless their name is Brock Turner.)

Matt Ellis is the Matt Ellis of hockey players.

This is a great point. At his age, and in his position, my phone calls would have been dad, lawyer/agent, GM, in that order, unless lawyer/agent wanted to handle the GM call (which is their function).

Umm...are we on the same page? Do we need to alert the SWAT team or anything?

I think we need to focus on the real question of whether a certain type of object will be thrown on the field.

Yes, I think I am. Are they gone? That place was great.

Not there, but there was/is a good shop on Bryant Street, right near Aroma.

I say it every year...first round picks should be exempt from the CHL rule.

I"m referring to numerous comments above, not my own opinion.

Do we really miss Nathan Gerbe that much?

OK. So my feed is at least two minutes behind. And it's preseason. And there's a documentary that I want to finish watching. Goodnight!

On an electric stove, it might take more time to heat up a pan than to heat up a Foreman grill. On a gas stove, no way. Lots of people have electric stoves. I even have had one since 2010, and I hate it.

They’re not getting that far.

You're right. People make mistakes all the time, and people lie all the time. But this appears to be credible and serious enough to warrant an investigation into whether the whistleblower is correct, so on with it.

An undeflateable life jacket, at that.

Actually, you have a point here.
