Not a team in the league would want to pay him $16m I would think. I know Skins were seeing if he would restructure that deal in order to trade him for something, but guess nothing materialized for that.

DC doesn't grant dying man's wish to see SvB, man passes away Damn. Not great for PR.

Yeah this was under everyone's "dead lock to happen", so no big thing. I think someone will give him a shot to be a backup at least.

Still think Dark Knight was great even without Ledger's performance (although it certainly pushes it higher), and I think DKR gets a little too much criticism for not being whatever people wanted it to be. I actually really liked Eckhart in DK.

Mike Richards finally gets on the board! Game winner no less.

Well you could have spent money on Mike Green, but frankly he's not good enough defensively to be top pairing. Also health is an issue. I guess we're lucky to have Carlson (and on a pretty friendly deal for 2 more years after this one too), even if honestly his play hasn't been all that this...

Modano got robbed. That save will be on every highlight reel.

Btw Eomer, I was messing with you about that assist for McDavid. Really wish the Oilers were doing better and that he hadn't missed so much time. Kid is fun as hell to watch. Definitely find myself watching them more on Center Ice on off nights for the Caps or as my late game go to.

Oiles pull goalie with like 4 min left down 3-1, get a break with an uncalled hand pass with leads to a Charmin ultra soft 2nd assist for McDavid on a goal to make it 3-2 with over a minute left. Could be a fun finish.

It's definitely a rebuilding year. Their underlying play has gotten better. I think they're looking long term with Babcock. I'll tell you what though, Philly has got a player in Gostisbehere.

Jack has been used very strangely this season. They make him seem semi-loyal by not taking that other job (although by realizing his shot to actually make his mark only happens if he stays), and by giving Jessica whatever dirt Hardman has on him. They toss the idea of him eventually being a...

Would love to get Robinson at #21, but I don't think he's going to be there still.

Also Stoic, I must say the Rangers have put together a good effort going 7-2-1 over their last 10 games. We've only managed to increase our division lead by a point over both of our last 10 games. Impressive bounce back by the Rags.

Go down 3-2 with under 10 left in the 3rd, and I had no doubt we could tie and get to OT. End up potting 2 and winning it in regulation for good measure. Holtby didn't have a great night either. Ovechkin scored again. Fucking Brooks Orpik got his first ever game winning goal (regular...

Ovechkin kinda owns the Isles this year so far.

Eh? The average as I recall is around 3.3 years, but it's a lot higher average for 1st round picks, or guys who go to at least one Pro Bowl in their careers. Think people just forget how many guys are fringe practice team players that might get a shot for a year or two at most.

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.
