I went around the league and looked at the other 31 rosters then came up with six trade targets for the Pittsburgh Penguins based on their need of a depth defenseman

The Bills are hiring for a staff photographer that isnt quite full time hours but theres no way you could have another job.

What a huge strength it is for AEW to acknowledge their main competitor when it is appropriate. Danielson saying "WWE" live on tv during tribute gives it proper weight and attention.Tap dancing around reference is always distracting, weak, and feeble

Between the country itself and how they built the roster this US team isn't one I find myself rooting for.
I didn't care when Sweden tied it and I felt nothing when they scored.
Sucks that it is like this, but it is

This is the kind of game Team USA shouldn't be trying to eke their way through, 1-0 in the final part of the third period.
Just bring the goal scorers next time for christ sake

Super disappointed by the Sid injury and ehat it means for rest of Penguins season, but definitely not mad or upset.
Playing for Canada at the Olympics means so much to him and the NHL stole that from him for 12 years.
I would never want him not to go if it was an option for him

I feel like Mike Trout is a guy who has the most to gain from this.
Guy is top 50 in WAR of all-time and nobody cares about or talks about him, like at all.
Put him on the Red Sox 2012-2019 and he is a megastar

“You can go back in time and move one athlete to a different team in their prime. It cannot be to your favourite team. You can use your power for good, or for pettiness (e.g. making Brady spend his best years on the Browns). Who do you move and where?” FUNBAG!

I think if the US women don't close it out on Thursday it will be the most disappointing loss of this run, including the 2014 missed empty net.
Canada just doesn't look like they have the juice

The thing is if you took Leon Draisaitl off the Oilers and put Matthew Tkachuk in his place the Oilers don't even make the Final.
If Draisaitl replaced Tkachuk on the Panthers the result is likely the exact same.

I am ready at the drop of a hat to present to any league's competition committee exactly how gold drafting works, what it improves and what it weakens, how it would have to implemented for a specific sport, with simulations, gorgeous viz, the works. I am dead set.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on tanking: "It's so clear that the incentives are misaligned."
Silver said the believes tanking is worse than we've seen before and said that's what led to the recent fines as an effort to put all teams on notice. Silver emphasized again the league is focused on fixes.
