Forget the 8 seed. No NHL team has ever done that before, regardless of their seed.

I'm guessing that having people running around who will burn down a house simply because the owners are black doesn't exactly help neighborhood house values either. So you have to love the arsonist's logic.

For all of these types of shows with these kind of tryouts, I've always had the impression that they do those street interviews after they've been picked. They've always got a ton of on the street footage with people who are picked.

So at what level would do you think the fix is in? Is the kid lying about his background and changed his look just for the show or is the show itself behind the whole thing?

I really wonder if his ego would get in the way of him accepting a work out somewhere. As long as he's financially stable (unlike TO), I don't see him going that route anywhere.

And that movie has exactly what so many people have come to hate about Sandler. He's doing one of those stupid voices.

I'm not sure what to read there, but the immediate question that came to mind for these app killers is whether or not they themselves run in the background and eat up battery life.

But look at how they've signed about 25 WRs this offseason. They clearly want something decent on the outside. They did all of that AND released Johnson? That says a lot.

And yet the still made it to the Superbowl.

Back before my aunt got a computer, she would come over to my parents house, print the internet, then bring it home to read. I bet that's exactly what Al Gore had in mind. It was hilarious. The price of ink had to be a major pain though. And speaking of iPhones, I hear that she has now figured out how to send texts. Now that's a scary thought.

Talent still doesn't guarantee success though. Take a look around at what qualifies as popular these days. People are dumb.

The kid put the gas can in and buckled it up? I can't quite tell, but it also looks like he's wearing a seat belt. That's a whole hell of a lot for a kid that age to do unnoticed. I don't think they would stand a chance even with a good lawyer.

My 70 year old aunt needs to print off anything she reads on the internet. It's hilarious. She'll print off 70 pages or so even if she's only interested in one little paragraph, never actually figured out how to use the print highlighted selection function. bbb, you're about to get a lot better battery life out of your phone now that you've learned that. They still die off pretty quickly depending on your use, but it will be better.

But based on his appearance, I bet Rizo went on to a very successful career in the mafia. I once watched him interview a college player during a game broadcast and he (Eruzione) had a giant black eye. They didn't even try to cover it up even though he was on tv. It was hilarious and really solidified that mafia look he has going in my mind.

That's all well and good but the topic is about teams, not individuals. If you want to spin that all into a case for that era's Yankees, that's fine. I'm already noticing a big difference in the way people are thinking in this thread. Some focus on a single moment or season, while others look at a much larger window then that. Depending on what view you take, that really shapes the conversation quite a bit.

Have you spent your entire life in some obscure central African nation or something? This statement is absolutely mind blowing.

Ask him to autograph your jersey.

Yeah, with that criteria the discussion might as well be over. I can't even imagine a scenario that would recreate what they did.

I'd be tempted to throw an asterisk on the Habs as well since they were essentially handed that pipeline to all the elite talent for so many years, always getting the first pick. I guess most of that was gone by '77, but there were still pieces. And now that I have Ken Dryden on the mind, it's making me think of the 1970 Cornell hockey team. If we want to name a best team relative to their league/competition, they should be mentioned. They're the only college hockey team to go undefeated... and all this AFTER Dryden left.

I have a hard time separating the fact that I know it is connected in Alien in some way though. Does the trailer seem as interesting and mysterious if you don't know that connection. So I was watching Conan last night and Charlize Theron was on. It got me wondering. Does anyone know if anyone has ever had a major role in two movies that will most likely be the #1 seller in back to back weeks? Assuming Prometheus beats out Snow White this week, that will happen. And as for her being on the show, I'll mark this one as a spoiler just in case: She said that in the movie

I have a hard time picking any hockey team ahead of those early 80s Oilers. None of the numbers may match up to what you posted, but it is all pretty close. I can't picture anything that can balance out the pure fire power that those teams had.

You really have to wonder what the casual non-Alien or Ridley Scott fan thinks of those trailers though, someone who doesn't realize the connections to the Alien series. Looking at the trailers, you don't have the slightest clue what threat they're facing. Will they draw that kind of viewer?

Yeah, but they're not really librarians though. I suppose they wouldn't be acting (and I use that term very loosely) as librarians unless the real ones did in fact exist. Maybe I'm just biases since every librarian I ever ran into was an old lady, as opposed to this one who looks like the girl from American Pie.

So you're saying you can't find all that stuff on google?
