Well, it's going better than last time against the Hawks. This still feels like maybe a 4-1 loss for the Pens, unless they find a way to not give the Hawks so many chances on the break.

Yeah, I don't know why Ben keeps going deep-ish to Bryant on the sideline. Bryant's not getting open and hasn't shown he has the ability to make contested catches.

I've been catching up on The Deuce (5 episodes in), and I think it's pretty great. I couldn't get into Treme, and I didn't watch Show Me a Hero, but while it's still early, I think this could be a worthy successor to The Wire.

What in the world was Fox Sports thinking trotting out Bruce Arena on their studio show after the USMNT friendly? The ESPNFC crew skewered both Arena and the decision, quite well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPfPFPJwKZY Yeah, it was super awkward and annoying having Arena in the studio, especial...

I'm disappointed to hear about Franken. I thought he was coming into his own as a thoughtful member of the Senate, who, while definitely progressive, valued bipartisanship and collegiality. Given the current climate, I think he should resign (and this should be made easier politically by the fact th...

"Unlucky to not be up a goal' sort of undersells what a bad goal that was.

Yeah, I'm trying not to be too harsh on the GK, since that was only his 2nd cap, but that was really bad.

I'm glad Denmark is going. That's one of the countries that I have a family connection to, so that makes for a good rooting interest. Also, their fans are great. A young, experimental US team is tied 1-1 with Portugal on the road, and they're unlucky to not be up a goal. Good thing we didn't bring t...

It also lengthens the time to react in case we were attacked. Not exactly something I want, but I also don't want holocaust. I should have added that clarification. They wanted to look into taking away the ability of the POTUS to singlehandedly launch preemptive strikes and leave his ability to dea...

Listening to NPR on the way to work today, they also said that the Senate was going to discuss the possibility of taking away the ability of the POTUS to launch nukes without someone else (Congress, the Cabinet, etc.) approving. Seems like a prudent step, but it's also scary that they think this is ...

This is being reffed like a playoff hockey game--pretty much anything goes in the penalty area. I still think Italy have a goal in them...not sure if they have 2.
If Italy scores what is the extra time situation?

I'm assuming 30 minutes of extra time, then PKs, but I'm not totally sure.

I'm torn between which game is less watchable--Steelers or the 0-0 Northern Ireland/Switzerland World Cup playoff on a mud pit of a field.

This is gonna be a dumb game

I'm half joking, but I wouldn't mind the US hosting an eight team or so NIT version of the World Cup this summer. They could invite something like Chile, Holland, maybe Italy, Ecuador, Ghana, Cameroon, and China (for the viewership).

Obviously, it doesn't mean the 3-peat is definitively back on track, but last night seemed like a step in the right direction. The Malkin line was great; they got multiple 5v5 goals; Schultz helped solidify the defense. On the down side, it still seems like they have 2 4th lines. I'd put the over/un...

coming to the 'Burgh MLK weekend to catch the Rags and Wings games. we'll be staying at the Embassy Suites a few blocks from the arena. we have some friends coming up from Wheeling to join us for that Saturday game but I imagine we'll still have a few meals on our own. suggestions? we eat all kinds...

The triumphant return (here) of naked hot tub man... "Translation from FBI-speak: Cover for Papadopoulos to wear a wire when meeting with Trumpers." https://twitter.com/20committee/status/925045152368025600 Yeah, on NPR on the way home, they talked to one of the attorneys working under Ken Starr in...

I just poured a beer and was getting excited to sit down and begin my Pittsburgh/Sounders sports night. Welp, 1 out of 3 eliminated.

Yeah, it does make the viewing dilemma at 8:30 easier.

GDT #13 Pens @ Jets, 10/29, 7:00 PM EDT I guess it's DeSmith time?

I guess it's DeSmith time?

Turns out it doesn’t matter who starts in the second of a back to back.

Yeah, even with Niemi gone, this looks like every other 2nd game of a back-to-back this year.

If true, this is more evidence of the cloud of turd smell that follows the Clintons everywhere they go. As I said during the campaign, the phrase "wrong, but not illegal" can be applied to far too many of their activities for them to be in any way regarded seriously as decent public servants. At th...

I came across this article from The Hill ( http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/357213-clinton-dnc-connections-to-trump-dossier-funding-could-create-election-law ) that says funding the dossier could have been in violation of campaign finance laws, since it doesn't appear that the Clinton campaign ...

I don't think you'll see any GOP challengers in 2020. Granted, there's a lot of water to sail between now and then, but so far the only people in the party with the moxie to so much as say a sideways word about Trump are those who have no electoral consequence to face for doing so - TV pundits, ret...
