NFL fans would die from NHLs injury reporting lol

[Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT @jmthrivept]

I’ve already seen a lot of “I wish SF would be truthful with their injury reporting!” posts.

You guys realize that 0 NFL teams are totally truthful about their reporting, right?

The only requirements:
•Body Part (only have to specify side if it’s QB or K)
•DNP, LP, or FP (a LP can be 1% to 99% of practice reps completed)
•Mandatory for all 3 days of practices

That’s it. Nothing else required.
True severity or specific muscles, tendons, bones involved are not required. And it never will be.

Skattebo takes the handoff

Genndy Tartakovsky has shared a test animation clip from his new film ‘THE BLACK KNIGHT’

• Follows a knight who controls a 20ft tall suit of armor in the 14th century

• Sony Animation is unsure if there is an audience for the film theatrically so they haven’t greenlit it

@cTomski89 D is a good alternative but getting Southern BBQ, Mexican and other Latin American foods and California produce? Sign me up

Going with G and not thinking twice.

[Amy Eileen Hamm @preta_6]

This is an impossible choice ���

[Alex Grandy @AlexGrandy0991]

Oh man this would be the best possible outcome!

I came across a theory about Fallout Season 2 suggesting that Macaulay Culkin is playing the character ‘Fantastic,’ and has somehow bullshitted his way into Caesar’s Legion - right to the top of the faction.

This idea is hilarious to me omg.

@LegendofTyler I’m still in yeah?

@FlexFromJersey Indiana got here by trading their prime age superstar in Sabonis for a young up and comer in Hali and keeping young cheap talent before cashing in assets for Siakim and OKC did by trading their prime age star for another younger player and intentionally tanking and stacking FRPs

[Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie]

The trade is one for none.

Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing absolutely nothing.

Well, nothing work related anyway.

Today’s Free Agent Frenzy is the last working day in a 48-year professional career that included stops at The Sault Star, The Globe and Mail, The Hockey News (twice), The Toronto Star, TSN, ESPN and NBC, amongst others.

It’s been quite a ride.

I’ll be 69 years old in August. I decided a few months ago it’s as nice a time as any to call it a career with the expiry of my current contract. If I had been so inclined to continue doing the World Juniors and draft rankings etc. at TSN, the opportunity was certainly there for me to do so. And I’m so grateful to TSN for that.

Honestly, though, I am looking forward to waking up on Christmas morning this year and NOT flying to Minneapolis-St. Paul for the World Juniors.

I’m also looking forward to doing more travelling with my wife Cindy; having more time to give my sons Mike and Shawn unwanted (and unneeded) advice; playing even more golf than I am now; and having my two wonderful grandchildren Blake and Gunnar running my show on a full-time basis.

After almost 50 years in the business, there are far too many people to thank individually, so I won’t even try to name any lest I leave some out.

Just know that I’ve been blessed to work for, work with and work against so many great people who gave me boundless opportunity, incredible support and intense motivation. The nearly five decades have gone by in the blink of an eye.

I certainly never set out to be the TSN Hockey Insider. It never occurred to me that I would work in television. All I wanted to be when I grew up was a hockey writer, to have a “job” to watch, write and talk about the game. You know, tell a few stories and try to capture the spirit of the thing.

Mission accomplished, I guess.

I couldn’t say goodbye now without a special thanks to everyone at TSN, past and present.

I first started showing up on the network in or around 1986-87. In the 1990s, I was working full-time hours at TSN but still had a full time newspaper job, too. Since 2000, 25 years ago, TSN has been my primary professional home.

It’s been a very special place on so many levels. The best part of TSN has always been the people. The best people doing the best work. What an honour to be one small part of the unsurpassed excellence that is TSN. Every time I’ve walked out of Studio Six at the end of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1, I’ve said to myself: “It doesn’t get any better than that.”

And it doesn’t. That’s especially true on this Canada Day because I’m so very proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦

I’m a very lucky guy. I owe the game of hockey, and all the people within it — the players, coaches, managers, executives, scouts, agents et al — so much; I owe my family and friends even more. 

Finally, thank you to anyone who has ever read, watched or listened to any of my work in any form at any outlet over the last 48 years. It’s been a privilege to share some information with you all, and try to have a few laughs along the way on social media or whatever they’re calling it these days.

I’ve cherished it all.

Fully Completely.

The greatest to ever do it is fully embracing a well deserved retirement. I’m sad to be missing out on his draft rankings and domination in that field but this is well deserved

Today’s additions are all about depth, veteran experience, and physicality for the Mammoth.

Peterka was the big swing.

Stayed tuned.

[Alex Grandy @AlexGrandy0991]

@lessabler4 Great depth signings! Schmidt is the perfect buffer to let Simashev grow into his eventual spot and then play third pairing minutes. And Tanev is a far better physical bottom 6 guy then O’Brien
