Assuming that his family life wasn't already in shambles. But anyway, I'm a bit confused why it matters what the girl looks like when she's hiding under a desk the entire time.

Just a minor clarification on the rule. A player with junior eligibility can be returned to his junior club at any point, even after he has played in 10 NHL games. It'll never happen though because was that player hits 10 games, it counts as a year of service on his contract, essentially starting the clock ticking towards his free agency status (7 years of NHL/AHL hockey). I guess that could happen if a player really went into the tank and the team needed a roster spot badly.

Was the Kazmir for (not that) Zambrano deal his to or was he already gone at that point?

I like to think that people are smart enough to realize these things when this much legal trouble is on the horizon. But then again, he hasn't exactly earned that assumption from me. Still, this guy's level of media whoring, posting on the TMZ website seems below him. He doesn't get any face time that way.

There's no way his lawyer would let him say anything.

I never played much super nintendo, but I did play a Link to the Past on an emulator. I can see how that would get a #1 spot. I still like the original better though. There's so much nostalgia in that game for me. If I was making an NES list, that would be my #1.

I'm about to get back into the job search for the first time in 5 years and not looking forward to that process at all. Luckily I have that experience now, but I still expect it to be a pain. It sounds like I had some of the same issues you're mentioning. One thing that eventually paid off for me was finding sites focused on listing jobs only in the field I was looking for. I don't know what they would be for you, but if you can find them, it will probably help.

Depending on how they're counting, 2nd in 3 weeks would go back to either Miami or New Orleans.

I have no idea how they pulled that off, but yeah, great work there.

Is there any way to see the entire list? I can't find that option anywhere. I really don't feel like clicking through 100 pages. I will say that it's definitely hard to argue with #1. Mario 3 was an absolute beast when it came out.

Yeah, I think the jokes paint a very clear picture of how most people are viewing this situation.

Is it possible you're misinterpreting his comments? His column in today's paper implies that Sanchez isn't ready to take them to the playoffs today. It's not talking about where his career might go in the future.

It was just a slip up by the refs. They had to deal with a potential brawl on the field and slipped on the details when it was finally time to announce the call. Fair catch or not, you have to let the guy catch the ball, so it's still the same penalty either way.

Please tell me the balloon eventually knocks out the power in the stadium.

And that suspension should be multi-game. I can't picture anything more blatant than that hit. His sole intention was to injure and that is incredibly obvious.

All of this reminds me of the "pussification of this country" comments that were going around on here last week. I'm sure we could list 20+ countries that have it far worse than we do.

Heart-shaped homemade cookies?

He'll find a way.

I have no idea what I just read. I think all of 3 people in the world have any clue what that article is talking about.

That right there makes me think there's more to this situation than we're hearing. But anyway, take charge of this situation. They only get a ride somewhere if you offer. Don't cave to any requests. Speak up when you feel you're being wronged. Show these guys that you are not going to let them walk all over you. If they don't like it, too bad.

It's more of a rhetorical question than anything, but could the Sabres have any better timing in doing this?

And I can't believe I've never actually heard a story about a compass stabbing. I think you broke skin just by touching a compass. Well now I feel like I got screwed over. The cheap ones I got stuck using were completely useless. They provided no protection at all. I did get a good laugh at the giant wooden one used on the chalkboard though. The join on the thing was so loose, so I was always watching the teacher screw up and have to erase their attempted circle over and over.

They got rid of those a while ago. I remember being stuck with some crappy alternative and that was 20 years ago. The only place I ever used a good stabbing compass was at home. Man those things were sharp.

How does the free agent list and the potential trade block look?

Sit the kid down and tell him why it is wrong to bring something like that to school. Problem solved. I guess that little sit down takes 2 months at this school.
