NHL Third Jerseys for 2018-19: Several teams unveiled new third jerseys for the upcoming NHL season. The Avs tip a cap to the old time Rockies, Flyers go two-tone (no word on the return of the Cooperall pants), the Devils bring back the Green and Red, and at the risk of offering an opinion on a FPP, the 'Canes win.

So...About that Serena Cartoon: It sure feels like this is something that would have been discussed at length a few years back on SpoFi. What does the hive mind here think? Is it racist as hell, a cultural phenomenon, or a bit of both?

That Benn hit was a disgrace
It was, but the gaslighting explanation of "I fell and caught myself on my stick, which happened to be on Stone's jaw" was even more disgraceful. It's bad enough that you attempted to injure an opponent, cost your team a 5-minute major and multiple goals, and ultimately the game, but then you look right at a camera and tell everyone who watched the play that they didn't see what they plainly saw. "Hey hockey fans, you're a bunch of dumbasses." That guy can eat shit.

There is zero evidence he was involved, let alone guilty of any wrongdoing.
I think that's overstating it a bit, since she was underage and drunk, and he did admittedly have sex with her, albeit not in the group setting that ultimately led her to report this as a crime. Sure, he might have believed she was of age (18), but she was still being served copious amounts of booze and apparently visibly intoxicated. That said, I'm guessing he was intoxicated, as well, and drunk 21-year old men aren't exactly paragons of sound judgment.
Like I said before, it's a hornet's nest. I'm not ready to crucify the guy, but I'm not ready to declare him guilt-free, either.

Jesus, what a hornets nest. I have zero opinion on whether Araiza is guilty or innocent of a crime, and zero opinion on whether he should allowed to play in the NFL. I just came to note how insanely difficult that prosecutor's job is. She has to be able to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and from the facts presented here, I don't think there is any way she can do that.

shove them in a mall in Connecticut!
I 100% approve of this message.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to dust off my old Kevin Dineen jersey and dance around the room listening to Brass Bonanza on repeat.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit here and get lectured about technical jargon and impenetrable language from a lawyer
Hey, I worked long and hard to get my degree in obscuring simple matters with complex verbiage.

The team needs to change its name again when it moves so we don't have another Utah Jazz or Memphis Grizzlies situation.
Although there are plenty of coyotes around Salt Lake City and Sacramento. Just ask owners of outdoor cats.

All those years of the noncompetitive Lions hosting Turkey Day games, ugh.
Counterpoint: my family would travel to Detroit almost every year to spend Thanksgiving with friends. We could always get good seats for cheap at the Silverdome.

I'm with you on that one Beaver. The current structure of MLB might suit some people - 6 or 7 behemoths who are perennial contenders, and several "small market" clubs trying to catch lightning in a bottle for a magical 1 or 2 season run - but it really has alienated me from the game. So part (the overwhelming majority?) of my "hatred" for the Cardinals is their ability to remain relevant and competitive in a relatively small market. They're historically well managed and seem to be a step ahead of many in the draft. Success breeds resentment, especially among one's rivals who can't seem to stop tripping over our dicks. But where we gonna go, right Phil?

Well, as a fan of small market catastrophe and erstwhile rival of the Cardinals Cincinnati, I feel compelled to point out that hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah (ad nauseum).

All your science nerd stuff aside (as a lawyer, y'all are well above my comprehension) (also: senior biostastician--you can't just make up words, you know) I just focus on the conclusions.
And those conclusions make me uncomfortable. I've always advocated that there is a place, even a need, in hockey for fighting. In a nutshell, referees can't see everything, and there has to be some way for the game to police itself to ultimately stay safer for the smaller, more skilled players. With a few enforcers out there, we actually get better hockey because the skill guys can work without too much fear. But my belief in the necessity of fighting came independent of any analysis of the cost. If the cost of a more entertaining game is literally 10 years of another human being's life, then my entertainment can take a fucking back seat.

Yeah, this is nothing but a slip of the tongue. Obviously, I don't know Kuiper personally, but the dude has been in the business a loooonnnggg time without incident. And let's be realistic, if he was a man prone to using that word on a regular basis, it would likely have become known somewhere along the way.
