Wasn't expecting Donna to take the 5th.

Well, less teams make the playoffs in baseball than in the other 4 sports, and especially for the Blue Jays playing in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox, it was sorta justified. But I agree with the rest of your points, although I wish they DID allow some more personality to the game.

The Capitals had to do this a couple of years ago with a guy who worked in their video editing department for their website. He had played goalie in college, and our normal backup got injured, but the call up from the AHL to be the backup for that night's game had been on a road trip with the...

All true, but on some level, there has to still be some worry about him actually being able to be that guy we saw in the final 10 games long term. Hasn't beaten a team with a winning record yet either. Small sample and all that, but there are reasons to be made for why it wouldn't be smart to...

Definitely seeing this trend a lot more. Probably a bunch of guys hiding concussions that will follow suit over the next few years.

Well. The team has the franchise tag. But that is their only real leverage. That said, I think Gruden and Cousins want to work with each other (we all know that's what Gruden wants). In the end they will use the tag if they have to, but I'm more hopeful a deal gets worked out that is cheaper.

I'm not convinced it's in our best interest to avoid franchising him...unless we can get him signed for $16m a year or less. I wouldn't mind him proving he can do it for another year, we're talking about a guy who was a turnover machine prior to this year, and didn't do much to put that to rest...

That's the real point, the fact that if you can even sniff a guy who COULD be in the top half of the starters in the league you pretty much have to throw money at him to have any real shot.

I have to think the claim that it's not definite they would use the franchise tag on him is a hollow one. Especially since RG3's release is imminent when they figure out no one will trade for him, there really isn't any other option. We don't pick until #21, we're not getting a guy who's ready...

Well if they use the tag it'll definitely be $20 million, at least for a year. I wonder if Cousins asked for something stupidly high, and the team is trying to play hardball. Either way, someone is being stupid.

Why. Redskins and Cousins break off contract negotiations

Doctor Strange?

I was going to say since he plays the android he can just be another android and not the same one from Prometheus, but I like this version better.

I was going to say I expected something better...but you are Astro.

We need a "Astro: What You Are Missing?" video.

Would have been nice if the Caps had played in the 2nd like they did the 3rd. Williams and Kuznetsov both looked pretty bad in the 2nd, but each redeemed themselves a little. Holtby I think needs to get a little more time off, we were a shitshow in the 2nd but good Holtby saves at least 1 or 2...

Yeah I could easily see this, he's still got something left too I think.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Ambiturner again.

Think I'm just at the point where I'm happy that they're finally dealing with it

Interesting, friends went to the game in Indy and actually really enjoyed it over some of the usual suspects for Super Bowls (Jacksonville comes to mind)

Yeah, not like we're 8 points up on them with FIVE games in hand either. I mean, who's on the longest winning streak in the NHL right now? Oh right. Also Ovechkin 20 goals in his last 22 games played. Right around New Year's every year. Feel like he might be the only guy to break 50 again...

Ah sorry I was thinking of re-entry waivers, which were eliminated in 2013.

Perhaps we haven't invented the machine yet that has the sensitivity to observe Furry admitting he was wrong.

Einstein especially probably realized he lived in an era where he probably would never see confirmation of many of his theories.

Random tangent, was watching an old episode of How I Met Your Mother where Jim Nance guest starred (the Barney Perfect Week episode) and he has a line where he says there's 2 things you don't do, and quotes you don't open up an email from Phil Simms in front of your kids. I still hate we had...

At first read I had similar reaction, like man he is tooting his own horn a lot...but really it has to be gratifying to survive long enough for the technology to develop enough to confirm theories and predictions he made so long ago.

If claimed off waivers doesn't the team only owe half his salary? Also he expires at the end of this season, must be serious salary cap concerns league wide, or teams at the 50 contract limit.

Plausibility has nothing to do with Batman's preparedness.

Erhoff (Kings) cleared waivers. I find that very interesting for a guy on a $1.5M deal. For him not to get claimed (seems like he can still play some), something must be going on.

That trailer was pretty damn good. Loved Supes reaction when his punch gets blocked at the end.

Yeah all totally believable until you said Nash postseason goal flurry.

I love that they're kind of playing the bad guys by pulling out whatever dirty tricks they can to get pressure taken off people, but the thing that annoys me the most is every fucking episode someone has to talk to Rachel and try to put it in her head that life is going to be terrible and she...

Lundqvist looks good tonight.

Fuck.

I want to see this movie more now

Eh, I have a couple friends who have gone to quite a few Super Bowls and they really enjoy being there for a good bit of "Super Bowl Week". They (and the media and people involved with the game) all seem to enjoy the different atmosphere of rotating locations. It also brings a pretty nice...

I love the Dave Steckel "assault" reference. Still to this day the only time anyone ever accuses Dave Steckel of being a tough guy or committing "assault" on anything. Peeps still can't let it go it was incidental contact, tall guy and shorter guy. Extremely unfortunate result, but by no...

Moon, Uber is talking about roughing the passer. The way it's written now even minor contact with your arm/hand to the face and it's flagged. Way too often for my tastes for contact that is clearly incidental and not "roughing" in any way, shape, or form...but it does get called. I don't...

I can buy the hand contact to the face, but helmet to helmet when he's completely body wrapping Cam up is silly. I can even buy "by the book" it should get flagged with the hand to the face, but in reality there's no way that play should get flagged. I would disagree with that getting called...

It was also of the level of contact that looks dumb as fuck when they penalize it even in the regular season. I hate how black and white they make it sometimes when often it's involving guys coming off blocks just trying to get a hand on the QB that brush the head/face and get flagged 15 for it.
