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.

Caps first team in NHL history with 39 wins through first 52 games. Shootout kind of affects that stat though since we have 3, plus the OT changes.

Boston got smoked, good lord. Caps/Preds was fairly sleepy for first 40 min outside of a fuckload of penalties, little more O all around in the 3rd.

Who was it that suggested a reality show of "Billy" Football and Ron Mexico in Vegas? Now that I would watch.

Interested in seeing Trotz back in Nashville, although not his first trip back or anything. But still going to watch the Caps, I'll probably catch the Lucic highlights on On the Fly later.

Snyder isn't GM. Nor is Vinny Cerrato (his right hand man) involved anymore. McCloughan wouldn't touch Manziel. Chances of him ending up as Cousins' backup are basically 0.

Please Jerry. Do it.

Yeah the cap credit thing is very strange. Overall pretty much works out as a 2nd round pick for Phaneuf. The price makes sense giving they're taking on all of the salary. Have to say a win for Toronto especially trying to clear space for a certain free agent this summer.

Pretty much a salary dump. Ottawa didn't have to give much up but I guess taking on all of his salary was the important part of the deal for Toronto.

Hahahaha that's fucking great. Decent deal they signed him to as well. Cap hit is a little high, but 5 years is a lot better than 7 or 8. Also No move for only the first 2 years I believe then a list of teams he can be moved to after. Not a bad deal for the player or the team.

Miss the days of the NFC Beast. Long way to go to get back to that sort of relevance.

Say it again. It's getting to have been so long I almost don't remember it. Plus he's a Cowboys fan.

Ravens divisional opponents definitely hurt the overall strength of offenses they faced. Cincy and Cleveland were bottom 2 in scoring and they accounted for a quarter of their opponents in the regular season. Steelers were also in the bottom half of the league. Jacksonville and Tennessee...

Yeah the idea of checking which offenses each team played has some merit, but Genj also pointed out the flaw in that argument in that teams can't help who they play really. I will note that as dominant as the 2000 Ravens' D was, they had their share of good fortune against Tennessee in the...

When I say age of the passing game, I mean how much better QB's and offenses across the entire league and not just one or two teams are at getting rid of the ball quicker. People generally assume Brady has one of the quickest releases in the game and they were all over him 2 weeks ago, Cam for...

As much as I hate to defend them, but 2000 Ravens have to be in the discussion as well.

Thought we were comparing them to Denver, Denver had 52 sacks this season (led the league). But they had 14 sacks in 3 playoff games (led the playoffs) against Roethlisberger, Brady, and Newton. Pretty impressive, especially in this day and age of the passing game.

Can't wait for the draft.

Denver's D this year maybe not as dominant overall as other great D's like Seattle's a few years ago, Ravens in 2000, Bears in '85...but their pass rush in the playoffs (and especially against Pats/Panthers) was simply unmatched. They made those recent Giants SB teams with their vaunted pass...
