Hey @DetroitBlue... is this…

Hey @DetroitBlue... is this homophobic for you?

Another quality DoucheBlue…

Another quality DoucheBlue post!

Well done coward!

Not only does this guy…

Not only does this guy regularly bring politics into the board,

Where?

Comb my posting history -- cite the regular politics I bring to the board.  I'll wait.

now he’s making threats…

now he’s making threats. Fuck this

Your lack of self awareness is appalling.

You started with the threat. 

The difference between me and you is I'm not the bully you are.  You count on people not reacting to your consistently horrible behavior here.  Me?  I'm not going to put up with it.

You want to threaten me, I'll meet you anywhere, anytime.  Coward.

Before some of those names,…

Before some of those names, there was the likes of Borje Salming and Petr Stastny... those were the players that put in the work for future EU opportunities.  

Regarding East Bloc talent, there was no doubt they would succeed in the NHL rather they needed to defect first.  

No recommendations for…

No recommendations for undercoating?

When I arrived in Colorado…

When I arrived in Colorado Springs, my Satellite doubled the total amount of car rust in the entire city.

There are rusty cars in Colorado Springs now... Between the mag chloride and Geomelt it's tearing up Front Range cars.

FWIW, I thought it was…

FWIW, I thought it was Tuesday too.  It's been that kind of a week so far.

Use aluminum. [...] and won…

Use aluminum. [...] and won't corrode like steel,

Aluminum absolutely corrodes in the presence of salt.

You might get banned again…

You might get banned again for "misappropriating" 

Ace isn't here anymore.

Is that really the going…

Is that really the going rate for a guy who averages less than half a point per game?

Sure, people are throwing $8MM per at less than 40 goal scorers these days.

Original 6 aside, it's hard…

Original 6 aside, it's hard to root for a team with Brad Marchand on the roster.  Fuck that guy.

Ricky White would like a…

Ricky White would like a word.

The only correct answer in a…

The only correct answer in a ohio v Avs pairing is meteor.  

Their fanbase is a piece of…

Their fanbase is a piece of crap and reporters here have started calling Denver the "real" hockeytown.

There's still plenty of fodder out there to hate the Avs.

GO KRAKEN!


I was with you…

GO KRAKEN!

I was with you until I saw a Seattle fan wearing an octopus hat last night.

 

Safari is the biggest POS…

Safari is the biggest POS out there.  Back in the day when I did development full time before moving into security, if there was a problem with the app, 9 times out of 10, it was because the client side was Safari.  Despite Apple's insistence, Safari is NOT standards compliant.

Not when they didn't address…

Not when they didn't address defensive needs.

Comment count is definitely…

Comment count is definitely a lot lighter.  

Ahhhhhhh.

Given how this board overall…

Given how this board overall cannot have reasoned, cogent, discussions without people getting butthurt when their personal opinion doesn't line up with fact, perhaps there should be a permanent end of OT season.

0-38. 

LOL.

0-38. 

LOL.

Eli Manning [...] will…

Eli Manning [...] will undeservingly end up in HOF.

Right, wrong, or indifferent, the fact of the matter is rings matter for HoF/perception.

Eli has 2x SB wins, 2x SB MVP, and 57,000 career yards passing.  Those creds are legit.

College basketball needs to…

College basketball needs to be fixed so that these guys can get some of the adoration fans want to give them.

For most people and at the most atomic level, the purpose of college is to get a job.

Now if an athlete goes pro even after just one year, hasn't the system fulfilled its purpose?!

Overrated? Devin Garnder …

Overrated? Devin Garnder (this pains me) 

I find it hilarious people dunk on Gardner to this day.

Dude was the #5 rated QB in the COUNTRY.

Then he went through multiple (incompetent) coaching and position changes -- and never complained about it publicly once.  

Gardner almost single-handedly beat ohio and doing so on a broken foot -- for that alone, Gardner should be revered with Carter, Howard, Leach, etc. in Michigan lore.

Your post is bad and you should feel ashamed.

 

Red Wing- Chris Osgood

Should be in the HoF

 which is what someone told…

 which is what someone told me when I thought Tiger Woods was overrated.

Not only overrated but a dick too.  Saw him push a kid out of his way during an event.

underappreciated athlete in…

underappreciated athlete in any sport?

Suzuki Ichiro 

That guy did everything perfect.  

Approached baseball as an art form rather than a sport.  

I'll never forget this strike he threw across the field from right field to 3rd base.

Just start carding the…

Just start carding the divers.  Automatic yellow for diving.

That will clean up the sport overnight.

It's not hard.  If a moderate breeze blows past you and you roll on the ground 5 times over, that's a dive.

Hell, in the last world cup there someone dove, rolled around, and was clutching the opposite ankle of what was hit.

CFL sized fields.

CFL sized fields.

Ryan Field.

Ryan Field.

Uh, that schedule is missing…

Uh, that schedule is missing some early season cupcakes

That's because CU *is* the cupcake.

CBS, which has a deal with…

CBS, which has a deal with the SEC that expires after the 2023 football season, in 2024 will begin airing Big Ten games in the same midafternoon window. 

If people here hate Gus just wait until Gary Danielson calls a Michigan game.

:facepalm:

Yes.

Calendar doesn't…

Im always curious if people still hate the Aves or not.

Yes.

Calendar doesn't matter.

Not hating the Avs is like rooting for ohio state.

Penguins fans jump to the…

Penguins fans jump to the top of the list!

Yep.

1.  Cindy is a diver...  and JR is right about him.

2.  Never forget 2009 when Malkin should have been suspended for a game by rule, Bettman waved it, and the Pens went on to skate the Cup.

IKR who gets married in the…

IKR who gets married in the fall on a big game day?

I said this same thing a couple of years ago when we went to a friend's wedding in Tuscaloosa, who was a Bama grad, in October.

Like I love you and all but what the fuck were you thinking.

Her wedding was dirt cheap as a result of doing it on a football Saturday in the SEC.

First off.  Congrats!


For…

First off.  Congrats!

For you married folks, what did you do for your wedding


Small ceremony -- immediate family and close friends.  About 50 people.  September, outdoors, Colorado.


and/or honeymoon?

Backpacked the Inca trail.  Didn't shower for a week.  Love is (nose) blind.

 

What are your best tips for a long and fruitful marriage?

1.  Hopefully she's your best friend.

2.  Let stupid shit go.  Life is short.

3.  Marriage is a checking account.  You need to put more into it than you take out.   

Agreed.

I have the game…

Agreed.

I have the game casually on in the background while working on a flooring project.

Is it the highest level of football?  Certainly not.

But for people to shit on these leagues they way they do I will never comprehend.  What do they want to watch instead, the professional cornhole league?

When the roof is closed in…

When the roof is closed in Toronto, it's horrible there too.

... and the field looks like something only slightly evolved from the first iteration of AstroTurf.

Baseball indoors is a fucking disgrace.  If places like SoFi can exist, Tampa especially could move out of that dump.

Do you have any objective…

Do you have any objective data on this or are you just talking out of your ass?

FACT:  SpaceX can launch 13 Falcon Heavy missions for the same cost of 1 SLS launch.

Or are you implying because Musk has revenue from the federal government as client, that he should launch those missions for free?  How progressive of you!

The mental gymnastics you all go through to justify shitting on the guy rather than admitting what SpaceX does is brilliant -- AND saves the taxpayer a considerable amount of money vis-a-vis the defense industrial complex, must be exhausting for you all!

 

Overhead costs of "charities…

Overhead costs of "charities" is what should be scrutinized.

It is.  Charity Watch, Forbes, Charity Navigator, Charities dot org, etc.

It's not hard to find that data.

It's the people who chose not to look and donate to crooks anyway.

It goes back to Thomas Jefferson's notion that the Republic only works with an informed electorate.  Which the US is not.  Even the holier than thou people on this board who think they are smarter than everyone else.

You should probably check…

You should probably check out the https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/3197152b-en.pdf and see the discrepancy in this country regarding spending on public education versus return on investment.

The people of the United States are being robbed blind in this regard.

This country does treat teachers poorly.  Most likely not in the way you think though.

I want to know they're…

I want to know they're paying their taxes

Then have an apples to apples discussion about it.  Which, more often than not, this board is not capable of doing.

The wealthy often doesn't pay payroll taxes -- they make their money from making money.  So they pay capital gains taxes rather than withholding.  Which for folks like us is at least a 7% difference.  

Given the depth and breadth…

Given the depth and breadth of what the Chinese have stolen from the US going back to Long March development, do not put it past them to do so.  Not to mention the current CCP's goal is to return China to the forefront as the world's dominate power as it was from the Han dynasty and on.  Establishing a foothold on the moon would be quite the feather in their cap.

The CCP have had a sophisticated rover on the moon (copied from Spirit and Opportunity).

The CCP independently operates their own manned space station.

The CCP possesses a offensive space capability to rival the US... and have used it regardless of the outcomes for other space faring nations.

Plus the CCP's program is funded by people in the West with an insatiable appetite for cheap shit from Prime and Walmart.

Trying to reason with these…

Trying to reason with these people is like:

You may as well start a good COVID post.

I've been out of town all…

I've been out of town all week for work meetings.

Must have heard "irregardless" a dozen times.  

FFS and :facepalm:

Adam Fantilli return


There…

Adam Fantilli return

There's zero reason for him to return.  

He's one of the most NHL ready players that hasn't signed yet.

Pushing Casey to the front…

Pushing Casey to the front office

I was wondering about that.

I don't follow the Pistons much anymore -- mostly Tigers and Wings, but after reading an article about the .300 winning percentage coach moving upwards, I was wondering how exactly does that happen?

The corporate equivalent is banging the CEO's wife, him finding out, and him making you a VP.  That does not compute.

The only Pistons game I have…

The only Pistons game I have ever seen live was Silverdome and it was toga night.  Otis Day played a concert after the game.

Lemme guess... you're the…

Lemme guess... you're the same person that preaches tolerance and respect when fussing about how divided this country is.

This is such a Michigan…

This is such a Michigan thing.

Michigan shits the bed, again, regardless of sport, in a national semifinal, and the fanbase focuses on the age and eligibility of the team that took advantage of Michigan shitting the bed.
