The big winner here is the guy who pitched Heidenrich as an unfrozen nazi soldier as that is now no longer the most horribly offensive WTF idea a writer has ever pitched (heck, the crocodile hunter idea may have topped it as well).

Good, about time. Any sane and reasonable person can see why allowing this stuff is a very bad idea.

I have a bad feeling they are going to end up like the Eddies and go bust. I really hope I am wrong on that.

Remembering that Cernak was the guy who hit Rasmus Dahlin with a vicious elbow to the head and left him laying in a pool of his own blood in Stockholm a few years back I think Bunting deserves a nice box of Timbits and a large double-double for good measure.

The fact that he got his ass kicked by Joey Styles is still just about the greatest thing ever.

I have long felt Sid is in some ways just about the most under-rated generational player in the history of the big 4 NA sports leagues. When I see the Pens live one thing that stands out with him is that he is ALWAYS in the correct position. Most of hockey is being in the right place at the right time and he is the best player I have ever seen in that regard. The fact that at close to tail end of his career he is still likely to carry a Mount Trashmore roster with Chad Johnson level goaltending to the playoffs speaks volumes.

A general rule of mine is "Don't attribute something to malice that can just as easily be attributed to stupidity".

In the "This Is Fucked Up" department: Right now the suspended match between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory is being resumed from the point it was abandoned after Victory supporters stormed the pitch and assaulted the City keeper with a flare bucket that left him seriously injured. And to make it even worse is that they allowed Victory supporters in and they are jeering the goalie they assaulted any time he touches the ball. I have no idea how this was not declared a forfeit victory for City. I despise anything to do with any branch of the bloo shit empire but for the only time in my life I am rooting for City to clobber a team.

"WE WANT ASSHOLES!!!"

A public service for everyone who plans on visiting Rob Black's restaurant in Rochester: DO NOT ORDER THE CLEVELAND STEAMER. (Seriously, just trust me on this.)

I want to know how he ended up in the restaurant industry and why any sane person would eat there knowing who owns it? Brings new meaning to the term "Garbage Plate".

Awwww Bama got knocked out... *Seinfeld That's A Shame meme*

There was recently a woman wrestler whose name escapes me who got in trouble for having a gun on her. This is a great example as to why said wrestler was carrying a gun.

Made Chernobyl look like a waste paper basket fire in comparison. That was completely insane.

What is the logic for that rule? If you move up and win your conference you should get the spot your play earned. I would think a team moving up would be at a significant disadvantage so why does that rule exist?

The best part is that they didn't win their conference and got the bid due to the weird rule that a team moving up a level (in this case Merrimack) isn't tourney eligible their first season (which is idiotic and makes no sense).

That's Justin Credible!!!

Enjoy the WBC while you can because the risk of something like this is going make the owners reconsider the whole thing. This stupid tournament ended our season before it even began.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Fuck you Austin FC, Fuck you Andrew Precourt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have some time and want to have some fun go look up The Readers Page in older back issues of the Observer online and see how many names you recognize.

Wonder if Dolfan is here at YS tonight to see Miami FC? Decided to come because it was cheap and there are very few games of any kind that I can go to this month. @Pete I got a ski cap for you if you want it.

Southend United were able to pay off their debt to HMRC before the March 1st deadline and survive (for now).

I think you misspelled "New York State Taxpayers". I still think it's hilarious that everyone rants about how run down The Ralph is when compared to the dilapidated arena downtown it's SoFi Stadium quality and PSE/State don't give a shit. It's probably the worst arena in all of major pro sports.

As a random aside Backlund's book is one I would classify as a must read. Incredibly honest and informative.
