This 💯 if he's using Diana to benefit the roster construction of his own team, as I alluded to earlier, it should be a fireable offence.

Not all of them are leaking information about the organization and its plans for roster construction to a reporter that covers the team, while they are sleeping with that reporter.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Pat Caputo today after a battle with cancer. Pat was not always my favorite of sports personalities, but he was one of the first I remember listening to growing up on WDFN and Team 1270. He was iconic here in the Detroit spots media market and was one of the very first all-sports radio shows in the market with his Book on Sports show. RIP Pat Caputo.

Is this a fireable offense for either Russini or Vrabel? For Russini, as a journalist, this clearly compromises her journalistic integrity sleeping with a source. So if she is still with The Athletic, I think it is a fireable offense. For Mike Vrabel, it is unfair and hypocritical to say Diana should be fired and he should not. I think he'll probably survive and not get fired, nor have to resign. But I think this clearly compromises his integrity as a coach and his ability to build a culture in the lockeroom.

Barack Obama once said "you didn't build that" and what he said was taken completely out of context. We had to have an entire election cycle's worth of TV ads bashing President Obama on his out of context statement and weeks worth of stories on Fox News about it. This was back in the 2012 election cycle, so in my libertarian days, I was probably one of the critics, criticizing Obama for it. Shame on me, I was wrong for it if I did it back then. But the amount of things that Donald Trump says on a daily basis, minute by minute, that would have torpedoed Obama's campaign is just insane. On gas prices alone over the last month, he's up to at minimum, half a dozen statements or so, that would have spelled disaster for Obama. It would have meant their campaign would be in damage control for multiple news cycles and we all collectively would have had to suffer through months worth of TV ads, digital ads, mail pieces attacking him on it. It is mind boggling how all in the name of "fairness", "bothsidseisms", and "revenue from ratings" we have to suffer through Trump saying these things while suffering minimal to no consequences as a result of what he said. It's frankly ****ing exhausting having to live through this blatantly obvious double standard.

Cossa had a .233 GAA and a .915 save%. He was to 8 in the AHL in save% and third in wins overall. Let's not act like Cossa is truly a bust. Yzerman just hasn't given him a chance to truly prove himself at the big league level.

So Montreal has a ROOKIE goaltender starting and winning a Game 7 playoff game. Meanwhile, our GM thinks so little of the goalie he drafted 4 years ago that he keeps Talbot on the roster over him. Why even draft Cossa? Just cut him if you think that little of him and admit he's a bust and that Talbot is a supreme being.

Is Orlando shook now as a result of this utter, catastrophic collapse?

Big time 3 ball there too.

WHAT A BLOCK!!! He stuffed him on that one.

We have to win this. Orlando hasn't made a bucket since Anthony Bowie was playing at Guard for them.

Orlando has missed 12 shots in a row and has not had a field goal in 8 minutes and they still have the lead. That's how awful our offense is.

Democrats ran a middle aged, centrist, milquetoast white woman in Sara Gideon against Susan Collins in 2020. Not only did she lose, she lost by nearly 8% points. She lost at a time when Biden won the state and she underperformed Biden. She lost when everyone was predicting she would win. She lost when polling predicted she would win. Graham Platner is problematic in a lot of ways. The Nazi tattoo and the reddit comments about rape are indeed a problem. They will be used as attacks by the Republicans on him. But it isn't like running a middle aged, milquetoast, centrist, white woman worked last time. Sara Gideon lost. She's not the Senator. So I don't know that running a 70+ year old centrist, milquetoast white woman would work either. The polling certainly seems to indicate it won't.

Willie and Waylon's ex-wife Jessie Colter I believe are the only ones left.

RIP to an Outlaw Country music legend. RIP David Allen Coe. I've blasted this tune and sung it many times drunk at a party or in my car driving around on a nice day. He did indeed sing the perfect country and western song.
