    NHL Offseason Part 2

    No doubt this being an Olympic year influenced his decision. He should be given the chance to go out internationally as captain of Finland in Sochi.

     

    Also... needs 25 goals for 700. Could be tough at 43, but that would be a sweet achievement.

    I haven't the foggiest how that oblong-headed generic stat compiler Matt Schaub inspires confidence in anybody. I mean for as many times as Romo has wet the bed he at least has enough improvisational genius to his game that he could pull wins out of his ass RoboQB androids like Schaub are simply incapable of pulling off.

     

    I literally can't think of any QB in the history of football that better sums up "generic stat compiler who will fuck up the 5 plays in the game that matter" more than Tony Romo.

     

    Calling him an improvisational genius might be the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say about the guy. I mean God bless him he's hardly the only thing wrong with the Cowboys and watching him have to throw 60-70 times a game last year was impossible not to have some sympathy for what he has to put up with, but the idea that I'd want the ball in Romo's hands if I had one throw for my life is something I couldn't be talked into on any day on this earth.

    RateYourMusic seriously needs a feature to block ever having to see certain people's reviews for as long as I live if they actually want me to consider contributing money to their site.

     

    Seriously, johnnykungfu is like everything wrong with the internet. Dude reviews every fucking record ever made with words that he doesn't know what they mean.

    So the Oilers have re-signed Linus Omark because apparently what the team needs is another show pony that can't hit or play defense and isn't good enough to be a top two line player in the NHL.

     

    I seriously can't express how backwards I think this signing is. Worrying signs.

    It won't matter now. You get the feeling the Luongo/Vancouver media feud is permanent. If they lose Luongo will take more heat if they win someone will write about how the team "overcame the distraction". Though he seems pretty comfortable with that when he's retweeting headlines calling him a princess.

    I have watched baseball for most of my life and I still don't really understand the balk rule. See: Mariners/Rangers tonight.

    The pitcher lifted his body - very slightly but still there - as he shook off the catcher.  Any lifting/moving of the body that doesn't then continue into throwing a pitch is considered a balk.  Essentially, they ruled that he started his pitching motion and then stopped it - which is a balk.  I don't think this was a good call but it's technically correct.

     

     

     

     

    I dunno. Watching the game it sure looked like "a dude standing still" to me but that's how it went. It was an awfully slight one to award the winning run in the 10th inning on if you ask me.

     

    Then again I am convinced there are some pitchers who balk almost every single ball, so this is never a rule I've had my head around.
