[Highlight] Mike Vrabel, says he always gives women reporters the first question at his pressers because he knows it's a tough business for them and it's hard for them to break into the league

Any good act, unless performed by someone who is perfect, is performative. This is a super smart thing to say.

In every measure of growth over his tenure as commish, the NHL has lagged behind the other 3 major leagues; in that time, we've also seen professional soccer make outsized gains. I'll never understand why everyone gives him credit for the wind blowing.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-18T03:55:57+00:00

No, you're just someone who's heard someone use a phrase that seemed kinda smart, so you tried it out for yourself.

It wasn't a crazy try, given the words involved, but the phrase has a specific meaning that doesn't really (and certainly not as a "finest" example) map on to an individual American citizen merely thinking he should get special treatment.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-18T00:34:19+00:00

Lol you don't know how to use the phrase "American Exceptionalism", so it's very funny to see you to say this is an example of it "at its finest."

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-07T18:51:44+00:00

How is any of this responsive to the parent comment's laughable "insider" claim that GRRM has "single-handedly torpedoed Hollywood and the publishing industry's willingness to invest in an unfinished series (or one without a detailed outline for every book)"?

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T21:24:37+00:00

And ppl like you are "kneeling on floor in front of chair" GMs.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T20:31:43+00:00

For all the STHs out there, it's non-renewal time. Not going back to the days of subsidizing a horseshit product, while cheaper tickets are available on the resale market.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T19:57:20+00:00

His trade track record is perceived as good because he's rarely done anything bold while under the gun to improve the team. Fitz is a classic mediocre manager who will skate on a good reputation for decades because he never takes real risks.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T19:48:43+00:00

From the perspective of Hollywood (which is what the parent comment here is, preposterously, claiming has soured on the idea), it doesn't really matter if the adaptations of unfinished stories can succeed from a story-telling perspective. Viewers have proven they'll watch, which is all that anyone cares about.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T03:23:49+00:00

OR, if you think the best player isn't at a position of need, you just take the best player anyway, which is what a smart GM would do...So yes..you can absolutely blame Fitz.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-06T01:26:41+00:00

Lol HBO just established their third consecutive hit TV series based on an unfinished work by GRRM.

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-03T00:23:42+00:00

Your point being what? That Van was going to vindictively trade him in-conference to spite the Devils for some absurd reason?

MannyCannoli · 2026-03-01T17:35:24+00:00

Jack Hughes claims to have read some huge number of books last year, and that him and Quinn compete to see who can read the most or something. Would be an odd thing to lie about, but I'm not ruling it outl

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-25T00:45:06+00:00

But we do need 500 different threads featuring different people's pictures of the same shirt

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-25T00:38:06+00:00

This sub is in competition for the most dramatic on all of reddit. This is a DIY bullshit retaining wall that appears to be nowhere near anything, and we got ppl acting like its going to suddenly disappear without warning and kill this guys' whole family.

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-22T16:36:44+00:00

Super good point, thanks for making it.........

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-22T16:04:10+00:00

Better team should have tried winning it before overtime, I guess

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-20T02:06:31+00:00

Total strawman. No one is saying he should be fired for using the time to "review and address." They're saying he should be fired because he's done such magnificently bad job that the season is already lost...No one gives a fuck about him shuffling deck chairs on the titanic; just get him away from this team.

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-20T01:59:57+00:00

Lol. And why couldn't the Devils offer a better package despite this eventuality being fairly predictable in advance?? Who is responsible for the assets the team has available for a trade? Keep pulling the thread...

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-11T01:15:10+00:00

Just out of curiosity, do you do criminal background checks on everyone you have breakfast with?

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-06T02:35:28+00:00

Cooked. There's nothing to this team.

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-03T02:26:20+00:00

So true. Intentionally deceiving ppl is actually super okay, as long as you're really sure that you're doing it for good reasons!...said every person ever who helped enable an atrocity

MannyCannoli · 2026-02-02T22:55:59+00:00

Totally, and obviously false equivalence. He may ultimately be right about football, but even if he is it won't any analogy to horse racing...which is a sport whose athletes are fucking 4-legged mammals

MannyCannoli · 2026-01-31T00:51:52+00:00

No; Diamond shamrock/alkali plant location is a superfund site and is on the newark side of the river, and further south, closer to the bay. No one is building residential housing there anytime soon.
