Bill Simmons is a hack. Why does his opinion matter?

Does the drunk guy who threatened to take me out the the nonexistant parking lot at last night's Sabres game count as proof?

The first one that comes to mind is the episode where Timmy and Jimmy joined the crips. The big 4 only showed up a couple times to say that they weren't touching this one with a 40 ft pole.

Just like the Bills, New England can't stop the run. I don't see why Willis can't do the same thing there that he did this past week.

It was more of a general statement about all young QB's, not just JP. Because of the Pittsburgh situation, all rookies are going to get ripped apart if they don't win immediately. Replace the word "rookie" with "young" and my point still stands. As for your Favre comparison, did he miss a lot of reps due to a broken leg? Just because one player who became a star after sitting out his first season and then put up decent numbers in his second season doesn't mean that the same applies to every single QB out there. There are different factors in play from team to team, player to player.

I'd like to see a good old fashioned ass kicking at some point so he could at least get some mop up duty. Yeah, I know we're not likely to be on the good side of that kind of result with our offense, but it's still possible.

Don't you people understand? All rookies are supposed to have seasons like Roethlesberger (still have no clue how to spell that) immediately.

Next step: ban this crap worldwide. I can dream, can't I?

I bought season 6 yesterday as a warmup for tonight's season debut. Can't wait!

Which one was the top Cartman episode? My money was on Scott Tenorman Must Die.

Was he visiting his former teammates last week?

You're not going to see a wave of numbers retired. This is a publicity move to get some fans back. After Hasek (maybe in the next 10 years), you won't see another one for a while, unless we develop a superstar. edit: As for Horton, talk to guys like Mike Robitaille and you'll understand why he's up there.

Griffith worked out with for the Pats last week and they passed on him.

We also got part of Gilmour's salary in that deal. Chicago also got a draft pick, but I have no clue who that turned out to be.

An analyst making a positive comment about the market that he's speaking to? How dare he!

I knew he was gone, but I was having trouble finding where he went. Thank god for tsn. As for Kasper's comments about Connolly, he has looked pretty good so far. He's playing well but hasn't scored (last time I checked, Vanek hasn't either). You can fault him for the powerplay all you want, but he's not the only point man who won't shoot the puck. It's been an ongoing trend for years with this team now. They are always trying to setup that back door pass, but aren't able to improvise when it's not there. I also noticed that Connolly was on the ice for one of the penalty kills last night (2nd period, if I remember correctly). I think that says it all about what Ruff thinks of him.

Askey isn't in the system anymore. He's playing in Finland. http://tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=431&hubname=nhl

Half of my 8th grade class got a few days detention for picking on the teacher's car. I don't even remember what we called it, but this guy hated us so much. He'd go after us for anything.

If they were going to trade Biron, he'd be the one in the press box each game instead of Mika. If you're going to keep a guy, you don't completely piss him off like they've done with Noronen.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. If a player is still in the penalty box at the end of overtime, does that keep him out of the shootout? It really didn't matter in this game, but what if St Louis took his penalty with less than 2 minutes left?

I can't tell you how many times I've tried. I just always end up meeting the stubborn girls that refuse to go. I follow that up by immediately kicking them to the curb. It's the only way to go.

And she likes hockey. The world needs more girls like that.

Not to mention the fact that Leighton's stats last year in the AHL are very impressive. We may have picked up a very solid goalie here. He'll be backing up Miller next year.

So what are those black jerseys they're wearing?

TNA is run by Jeff Jarrett and his father. Vince absolutely hates Jarrett.
