Ashlyn Sullivan says the Flyers are stuck in the worst place a sports franchise can be: the middle.
"They're not going to have a high enough draft pick to land a player like Leo Carlsson at No. 2 overall. Your only option is an offer sheet, and we just saw that didn't work. Or you overpay in free agency for a veteran who might put a Band-Aid on the problem for a couple of seasons, and then you're right back in the same spot."
Just in: Free agent guard Anfernee Simons has agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, with a player option in second season, sources tell ESPN. Simons chose the 76ers over other suitors believing his fit is perfect with the revamped 76ers roster.
I’m not afraid to criticize the Philadelphia #Flyers, but if they convinced Claude Giroux to sign here…that would legitimately help the hockey team (special teams, faceoffs, versatility in the lineup, skill in bottom six).
Would this not be way better than…*checks notes*…Luke Glendening?
Will be very polarizing on here for sure.
If I were the Flyers, I’d try to pry Pinto or Cozens from Ottawa in a package that includes picks and Risto. I’d then call Dallas and work out a deal for Robertson or threaten a 15M+ offer sheet. Adding a 40+ goal scorer rounds out some awesome wings with decent enough centers.
So apparently I’m the bad guy for saying this, but here we go…
My neighbor was outside mowing his lawn completely shirtless in the middle of the afternoon, right in a residential neighborhood where families, kids, and neighbors are constantly walking by.
And before everyone jumps in with “it’s his property” or “it’s hot outside,” I get it. But when did basic standards and common decency become such a controversial topic?
This isn’t the beach. It isn’t a pool. It isn’t a gym. It’s a neighborhood.
Is throwing on a T-shirt really asking too much?
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I was raised to believe that when you live around other people, you show at least a little awareness of the community around you. Nobody is saying he needs to wear a suit to mow the grass, but come on.
Some neighbors laughed and said I was overreacting. Others agreed that certain things just don’t really belong in a family neighborhood.
So I’m genuinely curious — am I being unreasonable here?
Or have we just completely lowered the bar for what people consider appropriate in public now? See less
