sweep the leg

Edited: Picture was bigger than I expected.

That's how I see it. I don't expect him to start, but I want to see him on the field fairly regularly.

Never mind asking Rids, common sense should help everybody come to that conclusion.

I thought the swipe about stats was directed at TBurg, not Iso...

He's not even wearing a tie in this clip... http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/daily-show-911-first-responders_us_56682f89e4b0f290e52137bd

The 2013 draft was a steaming pile of excrement. I will consider a re-grade if Mulumba ever plays here.

Richards and Waggoner might end up Fantuz and O'Shea. Little early to compare though.

I'm with you on this, except I always get my hopes up too high. Wouldn't have it any other way.

The shorts issue is arguably the stupidest head coach related issue of all time. I loved his answer to it. Keep them just to spite the complainers is exactly what I would do.

Trump and Gingrich would be the most unlikable running mates in the history of the US. On the bright side, this may give Gingrich a chance to finally see through his plan to colonize the moon.

I'm willing to place a wager that he won't post those numbers this season no matter who his qb is.

Lol, that was a strong response. It's easy for them to sound smart because they employ fact checkers. There aren't very many instances where they've gotten their facts wrong when skewering a politician.

Apparently Smith kicked ass at his pro day and from what I read could possibly be drafted now.

Who's knows anything about Revenberg? I just learned he existed approx. 2 hrs ago. edit (from TSN): Brandon Revenberg (OL, Grand Valley State): Hailing from the same Lakers program that produced perennial CFL All-Star Josh Bourke, Revenberg is a two-time Great Lakes Conference all-star and a three-year starter. As an NCAA Division 2 player, he hasn't received the attention of some other offensive linemen leading up to the draft but he could easily emerge as one of the sleepers in the Class of 2016.

Whining and complaining.

I saw a John Oliver bit where they had engineers cost out the wall based the length, height, materials, etc. that Trump noted, as well as other required infrastructure, and the cost would come in around $25 billion.

I agree with you that your analogies were terrible. You feel sorry for guys who regret their personal decisions and I don't. Agree to disagree.

The obvious reason is the health risk. It's hard to argue that getting punched in the head isn't a concussion risk. My belief is that these guys know the risk and accept it, but the league has to be concerned about the lawsuits that are starting to come in.

Fighting worked as a deterrent until they took the instigator out. Nowadays, if you dish out a beating for a dirty play you're going to miss almost an entire period. There's a 0% chance they'll ever take the instigator penalty back out of the game. There's an extra penalty now too for beating on a guy who isn't fighting back. Nurse got suspended for it a few weeks ago when he jumped Polak.

So what? That's his problem, not the game's. It's a life lesson to work harder in school so you don't have to take a job getting punched in the head.

Fighting is disappearing without having to legislate it out. NHL player safety isn't perfect by any means, but stiffer penalties for cheap/dirty plays are finally starting to clean up the game. The game is getting faster and the one dimensional fighter can't keep up anymore. I like to watch a good fight. I think planned fights between two guys who can barely skate are nonsense, but fights that happen naturally between two guys in the heat of the moment are entertaining and not a detriment to the game. These are grown men making a conscious decision to fight. If they're fine with it, so am I. They know the risks. I think fighting needs to be taken out of junior hockey though. Any league with players under 18 shouldn't allow it. Fights will probably happen regardless of the rules put in place, but the penalties should be stiffened to make it a less desirable decision to make.

I find it disingenuous for guys who made a good living fighting to complain about it now. If you didn't want to fight, quit. Do something else for a living that is less dangerous. None of them were owed a career in hockey, especially when most of the guys complaining weren't good enough to play if they didn't fight.

Other than possibly his immediate family, there's no bigger fan of Stu than this guy. I just think he's better suited to controlling the game from the blueline.

You don't think Lapo is all that adaptable, so your solution is to make him adapt to players he didn't choose for his offense?

That's crazy to think a coach would want a say in the players he's going to coach.
