Beta is wearing a “have a nice day” t-shirt

Not at all. That’s really the only negative I have for him. If I’m looking for a whipping boy, I’m not starting with the guy who nets nearly 40 goals, even if it’s in a contract year. Mine would be whoever didn’t realize this season was going off the tracks until it was way too late. For me, this is whole season boils down to one of two possibilities. They either didn’t realize everything was crumbling, or they did but had their eyes set on a year or two down the road. I’m not too crazy about either, but that first one terrifies me.

I hate the way he flops. There’s my negative spin on Skinner.

He already left Tampa. His "team advisor" role is just another way of saying "hey, I'm technically still under contract. But yes, he's pretty clearly going back to Detroit. I've said that from day 1. That would be exactly what I was hinting at when I said it would spare us from another divisional rival starting their rebuild.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I can't remember the last time I've seen such a unified response from almost everyone on this. It seems like everyone short of family and friend is so against this guy. I can't see this working out too well for him and landing new roles. He's poison for at least a few months anyway. I don't know how long that lasts.

You missed 10 somethings.

I know he's not really a free agent, but if they really wanted to throw a boatload of money at someone for the president role, there's a guy by the name of Steve Yzerman who I would gladly give a couple islands in the Pacific. It also would spare us from another divisional rival just starting their rebuilding process.

Does that guy currently exist in higher level hockey coaching world at this point? I don't pay much attention to that side of the game, so I really have no idea who the big names are, whether it's coaches or front office guys.

We bought our couch a little under 4 years ago. In the last week or so, something went wrong in the springs. I figured we were pretty much out of luck, but for the hell of it I called the store yesterday hoping there was a warranty covering it. Without even asking to check it out, they quickly ordered the new springs and have set up a time with a tech to replace them. I went in expecting to be screwed and needing a new couch, but instead we're taken care of. Pleasant surprise. That said, we had some issues with customer support with this company back when we initially bought the couch. We never wound up receiving replacement pillows that they were supposed to send, and I eventually gave up on it because it wasn't worth the hassle to get a couple throw pillows. So I won't believe that these springs will be delivered until they're actually sitting at my door.

He's no Dolph Lundgren.

If we want to talk about the right player to wear the C, that's fine, but we really need to stop throwing the name of any of the kids out there. It's a completely subjective cutoff, but at this point, if I'm handing that out to anyone, it needs to be someone over the age of 25. There needs to be at least some wear on the tires. I don't care how ready anyone may look, it's time to stop throwing these guys to the wolves.

That last one would just be plain odd. I feel like they want to keep developing the dynamic between Negan and Judith, so that would mean Michonne leaves without the kids. If they actually did that, it would vault Michonne up to the ultimate villain status in my mind. The only thing she could do that could possibly be any worse is letting Carol adopt them.

I bet he shows up at wrestlemania.

You just fall right through.

The whole thing would have been an absolute circus if it ever got in front of a jury. The thing played out way too publicly. They'd go through about a thousand potential jurors before filling even 5 of those seats.

He better be careful. Some might try to say he's not a real fan.

I want an extended montage as he's assembling a new Lucile. They need to work in that same "you're the best around" song from Karate Kid.

The Hilltop is kind of screwed. They lose doctors left and right and they've managed to have 4 leaders leave the show this season (yes, I'm counting Gregory). Daryl pretty much has to take over there now since I'm pretty sure there's no main cast left in that community. I can't wait for next week to see how they actually plan on following that up. Last night's show was what they typically do in the finale. And thanks to AMC's annoying practice of forcing you to watch the show taking over the time slot before seeing the next episode's previews, I did not get to see those previews.

Immedeiately called up and sent back down, that’s got emergency recall written all over it. I guess it really doesn’t matter though since they’re not building towards anything at this moment.

Uh oh

It’s going to get ugly very soon

Is there an actual name out there for someone who is making this suggestion? I can't wait until the native americans want in on this one and most of those descendants of the slaves have to leave along with all the white people.

I'll hold out hope that any fan who decides to make the trip can go and thank him for additional cap space that was used for a key addition.

I'm mostly lurking over in these parts, but man, where was this kind of attitude during the long-running issues with The_Dude? John, I'm not sure if you have any idea what I'm talking about, but just to be clear, I don't mean this as any kind of shot at you at all.
