There's no such thing as a bit far when the risk reward is so absurdly slanted. Best case, a few people come together and form bonds more quickly under shared stress and do not resent their tormentor. Worst case, rape, death. The institution of hazing is indefensible. The liability presented by hazing is too great for any organization.

My frat was also suspended for hazing. While nothing close to the behavior detailed in the Penn State allegations occurred at my frat (wanton acts of homosexuality were reserved for brothers and totally forbidden for pledges) hazing has a tendency to get more extreme and out of control no matter how harmless it may start. Every year some kid dies as a result of hazing gone bad. Every year, crimes like assault and sexual abuse are committed in the name of hazing. Its an unacceptable outcome.

Anyone else think this is cosmic justice for what Ed may have said about Josh Allen to some guys brother? Karma is a B.

Dude, its not the point of contact that makes this a dirty hit. Forget about the point of contact. WTF is a winger doing below the goal line in his defensive zone? Let me answer that for you: hes running a player that is already engaged and making zero attempt to play the puck. Its NOT a hockey play which is why you will find ZERO people defending Tkachuk that actually know something about hockey. Its a cheap shot. I know you'll just write this off since Neal is his teammate but I have hope that you may see the light.

Or in the case of Tkachuk. First forechecker takes the man, second "forechecker" takes his head off. Again, you keep citing a rule book and failing to acknowledge that NHL hockey is not the overly officious NFL. There are many unwritten rules to the game which it appears you only get familiarized with when you have actually played. Anyone who has played the game knows thats a bush league hit. 90% of all hits look nothing like what Tkachuk did which is why a guy just beat the s@## out of him for it while his own teammates stood and watched.

As I already stated, I do not care what article 5 of rule 9 on acceptable body checks says. Thats a bush league hit at any level of the game and if you want to play that way you had better be prepared to answer for it. Its absolutely head hunting in that hes looking for Kassian coming around the net, making no attempt to play the puck on a guy who is already engaged, and running him. In one of those cases literally going after his head. Don't take my word for it. Take anyone who ever played the game's word for it. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/ex-nhl-players-insiders-defend-zack-kassian-and-blast-matt-tkachuks-dangerous-plays

Thats a filthy play. Tkachuk abandons his defensive position to level a guy who is already engaged with another defender in a battle for the puck. Thats the definition of head hunting. I don't care whether he lead with his shoulder, hip, or his own ass, he has no business making that hit. And that was the second or third time Tkachuk went after Kassian like that when he was already engaged.

The Rooney Rule (still) isn’t working?

Off topic, but my favorite "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" story in recent years is the one I keep hearing from old timers regarding millenials "whining" about how they can't afford houses. I never get tired of hearing about how a guy with a highschool education, working an unskilled labor position, at a time when you had minimal competition from women and minorities for jobs, before economic globalization, a few short years after the worlds' manufacturing capability outside the U.S. was reduced to rubble but before the emergence of cheap labor from China, and way before basic necessities like shelter were treated as the preferred safe haven asset class for investors here and abroad, was able to save their salary for three whole months while supporting a family of 7 to buy a house in the burbs. Its that damn avocado toast! -

McDaniels would already be a HC if he hadn't left Indy at the altar in favor of some shady redux of the Belichick-Parcells succession deal. Why would anyone in their right mind bring McD in after he reneged on the Indy position? -

Think of it a little differently, as in a scenario where a GM or Owner has a bias, consciously or subconsciously, and thinks that no African American coach or executive gives them a better chance of winning than their white counter parts. It seems unthinkable, but then again we saw similar attitudes toward black QBs. Less nefariously, people often hire those that they relate to better. Often people who look like themselves and share more similar backgrounds. -

Da fuq are you talking about? -
Thats what makes it all so confusing for conspiracy theorist simpletons like me. Pereira says he gave himself up. The NFL says it happens all the time and the ruling was correct. But the rule book says something different and the NFL has been silent about this discrepancy. Seems like it would be pretty easy to point to the page and section that me and the other idiots are missing but nothing. Just "we got it right. nothing to see here." And that just fuels more conspiracy theories among me and the other nutjobs.
