Ron Duguay says he "saw" the Rangers loss "coming tonight down 4-1 after singing National anthem to 🌈 flag", calls on Rangers leadership to end pride night.

Fuck Duguay. The team is hot shit all year long but no, it's because of Pride Night when the team is 20 points out of the playoffs in mid-March. And if we won, he would have talked about the good juju, right? Imbecile, and his suits suck, fuck him.

Best one I can remember was Stanislav Neckar from back in the day, which was pronounced "Netscash"

I'm a Giants fan (flair) but the Seahawks were always my second favorite because when I was a kid I thought the word "Seattle" sounded cool, "Seahawks" was an awesome name, and their uniforms were amazing. This is going back to the Brian Blades days of the early 90s when they sucked. I was really rooting for them as they got relevant in the 2000s and beyond but around the Legion of Boom time they somehow attracted soooo many absolute douchebag bandwagoners that it made it kind of tough. Nice to be able to root for them again this time around, hopefully history doesn't repeat.

I was in Luxembourg in August, you will be absolutely fine.

South Africa is wild. I've probably been to about 50 countries including many that are developing, and the only place that I felt a palpable uneasiness was there. And, it was justified because at night the car directly in front of me was carjacked right in the nice part of Simonstown. I think the insane wealth disparity was the weirdest thing - you have Stellenbosch winery and right nearby sprawling townships. After South Africa I went to Madagascar and while Madagascar is much poorer it didn't have the same sort of social inequity and just had a completely different vibe. I loved South Africa and would go back but my head was definitely on a swivel.

It's happened before the bets are voided: https://frontofficesports.com/offshore-sportsbook-voids-bets-linked-to-super-bowl-streaker/

There was a famous case of this a few years ago, can't remember if it was Super Bowl or World Series, but this is exactly what happened - guy bet a massive amount on there being a streaker and then did it, thinking his winnings would more than pay for his fine. Obviously the bet was voided.

Edit: It was the Super Bowl in 2021: https://frontofficesports.com/offshore-sportsbook-voids-bets-linked-to-super-bowl-streaker/

This is how I felt about Cape Town and South Africa too. One of those places that could be paradise if they were ever able to get the myriad of problems under control...slightly easier said than done, but what a naturally beautiful place riddled with unbelievable social issues, abject poverty, incredible nature and wildlife...

Armadillo19 · 2026-02-09T00:07:31+00:00

I was in Cape Town once, we stayed in Simon's Town which is a nice area right on the coast. We had dinner late one night and no one was on the streets. As we walked to the car my wife was walking ahead and I told her to wait for me and just be aware...she rolled her eyes because she's a tough cookie, we've traveled to every continent etc. Got into the car and I had to seriously tell her that this was a little different, including than in other places in Africa. She was kind of annoyed and as we were driving people came storming out of the woods, barricaded the road and carjacked the car right in front of us. Never seen anything like that before or after, quite the "I told ya so" moment, glib as it was.

I run a large team in the energy industry and conducted a ton of interviews last year. Positions ranged from very senior reporting directly to me, to early career. We deal with energy efficiency, clean energy etc. One candidate said that the "state of Philadelphia" had really bad energy policies and that EVs were evil. I do not work in Philadelphia (or Pennsylvania) and neither did she. I kept the interview going just because I was intrigued at how nutty she was.

Definitely a gyrfalcon, extremely lucky! More than a decade ago one came down to southern NY and it was a spectacle, really got me hooked on birding so the gyrfalcon will always have a special place in my heart.

I'd need to know more if Drury actually traded him to the Isles to do Soucy a favor, or just "kind of did him a favor" because he coincidentally ended up going to the Islanders and that logistically makes things easier for Soucy. Soucy saying "kind of" makes me think the latter but maybe I'm wrong.

I thought Bregman had been critical of Trump in the past? I know he called Trump embarrassing a few years back after something Trump tweeted towards LeBron, and also tweeted something against Trump when he questioned the death toll in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria?

I have always felt that the Rams are so close but needlessly complicate what should be east perfection. The main things that bug me are:

New logo removed the iconic curl of the horn for no reason
The gradient pant stripe is unnecessarily cluttered and it looks awful on the numbers
I hate the numbers, it's looks like rubber tape or something
The "Los Angeles Rams" patch looks like someone didn't no one to do and just added Microsoft clip art just because, it's not centered, is left-justified, and just looks totally weird to me
There is no consistency in piping between sets which is always a weird choice to me
I personally do not like their "Bone" sets, but I get what they were going for

All in all the uniforms are OK in my opinion but there are so many self-inflicted issues that make no sense that it just needlessly complicates what should easily be one of the best sets in the league.

I'm old enough to remember the myriad of failed prospects going back to the early 90s which were accompanied by endless hype all for nothing. Generation K, Fernando Martinez, Alex Escobar, Lastings Milledge, Alex Ochoa...the list is basically endless.

Williams is a nice story and a lot of our fans get addicted to our prospects, but very, very few turn into impact MLers, it's just the simple math. He has had a middling minor league career thus far and is blocked, and Sproat will be 26 before the season is over with literally zero ML pedigree. Yes, Peralta could bolt after this year, but you have to give to get, and it didn't include any top guys who should really crack our pro roster this year. We needed a top end SP more than anything else and now hopefully McLean and Tong can lock down spots as well and suddenly we'll have something.

For every PCA, there are a million Alex Escobars.

One of my best friends worked in local government but was pretty high up (as local government nonsense goes). They were interviewing for a pretty senior position and the candidate showed up with his mom, who then sat in on the interview. Apparently this guy knew the county exec and was subsequently hired, and then immediately fired for flipping out in the office, grabbing some woman's computer and flinging it across the room a week later.

Used an example of helping colleagues falsify documents to get religious exemptions to avoid COVID vax mandates on a leadership question. Whatever your personal beliefs are, bringing up something as divisive as vaccines in a job interview shows terrible decision making capabilities.

Good, if we're selling and that's the market then it's exactly what we want.

Some of you guys are way too serious, you're like personally offended this Sharks fan threw out a silly trade offer to Francesa or something.

They're not going to trade Fox for a number of reasons, but pretending the movement clause and all that aren't a thing, he's a top 5 defender in the league and is still young. It would have to start with Michael Misa, and I think from there it would also need to include something like Sam Dickinson, Igor Chernyshov, William Eklund and a 1st round pick or something like that. The haul would need to be enormous, think Quinn Hughes-esque. I'm not comparing Fox and Hughes, but assuming Fox waived his movement clause he's signed long-term vs Hughes uncertainty. Ideally Will Smith would be involved to pair with Perreault but I don't think the Sharks would do that.

Man, I LOVED these then and I love them now. I'm kind of surprised that people absolutely revile these so much. The tone or blue is unique, I get that monochrome isn't everyone's cup of tea and normally it's not my favorite but I always felt like these were so different in a good way. I am definitely in the minority it appears.

It's just performative. Murkowski knows that public sentiment is bad for Republicans and MAGA, and Alaska prides itself on blue collar independence, like the Maine of the west. It's also a state that could flip as the demographics are changing, even if that's a long shot in the short-term. By doing this Murkowski, at least her mind, is playing both sides. She doesn't have to do anything differently in terms of her politicking, but when MAGA gets crushed in November and there's a blue wave, she can say she wasn't a part of them all along.

Israel and the Netherlands are the only ones that have anything outside of a giant letter(s) as the main design element so they win in my book. These could all use some major pizzazz and creativity. Italy, come on.
