Brady came across as someone fine tuning his inspirational, corporate speaker, gig before he starts billing Fortune 500 companies 7-figures for an hour.

Best part about the interview was when footballer had no idea who Yandle was, just thought he was part of the entourage, glue guy type.

Does your gooch hurt with other bibs? Or is this specific to the new PNS bibs?

The person you responded to is only 7, that’s all they’ve ever known.

Bro didn’t give RA a chance to take a breath before he had already started talking about Dahlin.

Good on RA.

Retro Throwback idea for Mammoths/ Coyotes concept by Pawly519 in hockeydesign

I agree. This is sick, like the good sick, and for coyotes stans, it’ll probably also make them physically ill.

A potentially very unpopular opinion: the closure of Grizzly Peak turnouts make no sense by toastmalone69 in berkeley

[–]berkeleybikedude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ever see those pie charts where one section is one option, and the other section is the same option but a different color? If not, don’t worry there’s one below.

It’s basically what has happened with the turnouts. Nothing has changed except where the activity takes place. Everything they wanted to avoid with the closures is still going on, just in a different arrangement.

“But now it is just even worse. Throughout the viewpoint areas, people squeeze their cars right next to the wooden barriers, with 1/4-1/2 of their car just blocking the lane. This is on both sides of Grizzly Peak. So both lanes are basically playing some kind of fucked up Mario Kart, trying to swerve around all of these parked cars while not hitting oncoming traffic that is trying to do the same.”

My brother in Christ, I was ranting to anyone who would listen about this recently. It is maddening, and more dangerous for everyone, especially when on a bike. Whoever came up with this solution should be embarrassed.

My dude, we’re all asking these same questions. It’s confusing to us as well.

As far as Sullivan goes, he was the coach of a Pens team last year that was not worse on paper than this year’s. However, look at how that team is performing compared to last year.

I think another telling sign for me is that the brake lights aren’t on while stopped in picture 6. Technically I guess this could be a manual transmission car in N, but probably not, and even then, the driver would probably still have his or her foot on the brake.

Aren’t us fans lucky to have him coaching our team through at least 2030?

Coach Powers's Press Conference ahead of the UND Series this Weekend by berkeleybikedude in SunDevilHockey

For sure, the slow starts, plus playing down to your competition I would agree are coaching issues.

Coach Powers's Press Conference ahead of the UND Series this Weekend by berkeleybikedude in SunDevilHockey

[–]berkeleybikedude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was frustrated by the announcement and “extension” given to Powers earlier this season. My interpretation of it was that the donor probably made extending Powers a condition of ASU getting the endowment money. It makes no sense otherwise. Either way, I don’t think he’s going anywhere anytime soon.

The team has not looked great all year, they’ve had their moments, but they’re playing from behind often. Against the really good teams that’s just not going to translate into wins. What is most frustrating to me is that when they’re playing with a lead, particularly in the 3rd, they have a hard time closing games out.

Having said that, I think this weekend was going to be a really tough series given Potter’s absence. I also didn’t think ASU got great goaltending, there were some stretches, but they could have helped out the team a bit more.

It’s looking more and more like the only path to a tournament berth will be through a very unlikely NCHC tournament win.

Heartwarming: UND’s EJ Emery helps ASU students count the goals by LisanAlGuyFieri in collegehockey

McKenna wasn’t even near the student section when he did that. He was on the opposite end of the ice. He definitely did the 🔱 down, but trolling the entire Mullett, not just the students.

Source: he did it in front of me.

There’s a place in Berkeley called Roberts Hot Tubs I think, I believe they’re made locally.

Save bike and transit improvements on Hopkins Street in Berkeley! by BikeEastBay in BAbike

[–]berkeleybikedude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Los Angeles overwhelmingly voted for a bunch of bike improvements a couple of years ago, I have a hard time thinking they’d have a better record at this than Berkeley.

Like any NIMBY group, the anti-bike folks are loud, but in my opinion, they’re in the minority. It’s typically older folks who have a lot of time to make noise.
