“Take all the pain Deshaun Watson has, double it, and give it to her” - my girlfriend talking about some woman who kicked us off the tennis court to play pickle ball 2 weeks ago
ALFREDSSON: Legend. Hero. Would’ve died for the team and city. Only left because the madman owner lied to him.
KARLSSON: Almost dragged a mediocre team to a Cup on one leg. Still loves Ottawa.
TKACHUK: Never won shit and quit on the team and city to go play with his brother.
The dumbest pro athlete: yea man alot of people don't know how easy it is to run out of money even on a 100 million dollar contract, the 2 houses, 12 cars and 600,000 dollars worth of clothes I buy every year just ain't enough
People still don’t understand how insane this is from bruno’s perspective, this was his first ever world cup goal and ronaldo was trying so hard to take it from him..
You expect bruno to be loyal and fight for someone like this?? Lol
Mobile Ticketing is one of the worse things to come of the digital age. Have been to tons of memorable games & all I have to show for it are a bunch of shitty digital rectangles next to my Chipotle card in my Apple Wallet. #BringBackPaperTickets

My opinion:
Imagine we were all capable of making this apology without hesitation, on air, live, with class and elegance and no ego. Most aren’t.
Fact:
Ron is a great teammate and better human!
If Taylor Hall wins the Conn Smythe, he’ll be the first player in NHL history to secure a Hart Trophy, a Conn Smythe, and first-overall status, each with a different franchise.
Fox is now “declining to comment” about their alleged “hybrid approach” to the hydration breaks.
So far, we have had 21 hydration breaks and every single one has been a full-screen commercial break.
re: Freddie Andersen
I really hope that we, as a general sports media sphere, can get to a place where leading with empathy is the norm.
Andersen played 12 playoff games. He lost his agent and close friend, Claude Lemieux, to suicide recently. Just leave the guy alone.
