Game Center, Center Ice, etc.
A big issue I've had with Directv is losing signal during heavy rain. It doesn't happen too often, but it happened during the Pens game against Florida recently. I lost the HD signal for a few minutes but not very long. during that time I just switched to the SD signal. when I had cable (admittedly...

Cam Newton got what he deserved. dude has been an arrogant ass all year and last night was a major choke job. hopefully he learned that football is a team sport. Didn't play well, but had no help. And arrogant ass isn't really accurate, unless that's just because of celebrations. actually yes, it i...

PNC Field would be awesome. I haven't been to Heinz yet, but PNC has great sightlines and is obviously smaller and thus closer to the playing surface. baseball stadiums are HORRIBLE for outdoor games. in general they're not as steep as football stadiums so if you're in the lower level you pay a lot...

Any cool places to visit in Georgia? Going to the Masters in April and looking to explore Georgia the weekend before. Only thing on my list is Creature Comforts Brewery in Athens. Looking to raise hell, so any fun places? Athens in general is a great town. in the Summer it's pretty dead because mos...

very cool of them to do this. the rinks in my town could never do this since as soon as the local teenagers found out they'd be drinking in the locker rooms and vandalizing stuff just because they can and their rich parents will pay for whatever damage they do.

He's German. It's written into all their contracts that they have to wear Grafs. the T blades are German not the skates. Graf is a Canadian company. as you can see from the picture Seidenberg is wearing Bauer skates. T Blades can be put on any skate. most Graf skates come with the Cobra holder thou...

Somehow I feel like my college playing days are behind me. Way behind me. ;) If Bauer's midrange skate can't hold up to my basic needs then I'm switching brands anyway. Will probably look at Graf's for the arch support that was mentioned. yes, but your beer league career is ahead of you for decades...

I'll take my chances. I have Bauer Vapor x40R inline skates which were $120 and they've exceeded expectations. I'm hoping a few more years of development and going up the ladder a few rungs in the X500 will be adequate. If I actually join a league again and play multiple times a week I'd look at th...

Letang and Malkin all-stars Crosby and Fleury didn't make the cut.
Sid would have declined anyway. Probably. Maybe. You can't decline. You get "barred" from playing the next game otherwise. Crosby and Datsyuk were "barred" 1 game for citing injury that one year. http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/7634798-74/game-star-crosby#axzz3wTMJ0aHx this lends credence to my...

actually since I love a good conspiracy theory, how about the possibility that Sid was sucking on purpose so that he wouldn't be selected for the all star game? uh-huh. all makes sense now, doesn't it?

anything less than $300 on skates (unless you're buying an older new pair off of Ebay) is not going to be a "good" skate. in the end it depends on how often you play and how hard you are on your skates. I have friends who go through a pair every couple of years but I can get 5+ years out of a pair s...

Great comeback, well earned point....I'm not one to complain about officiating, but you've GOT to call the too many men against the Hawks in the OT. Letting interference go, that type of stuff, it's the way this garbage league is and always has been...but the too many men call is standard, textbook...

Incredible game between Russia and Denmark believe it or not...wow... Yeah, a pity that Denmark lost :( What do you think about Finland's two offensive stars - Puljujärvi and Laine?

most things in my city close up around 6:00PM on Xmas Eve. there are exceptions such as ethnic restaurants and of course, Waffle House. every year for Xmas Eve we pick a different ethnic restaurant and meet friends for an early dinner. this year it's Korean BBQ. later we head to a candlelight church...

Gun Control Poll
This string started with a question about "assault weapons", which despite their non-existence are usually associated with rifles. so perhaps my question is better worded as, "what is the reason someone would want/need to own a machine gun?" rather than "assault weapon". if the answer is "because I...

I'm assuming you're saying you see practicality in a hunting rifle but not in an AK47? I don't have a great answer. But I'll say this... A Kia and a Ferrari will both get you from point A to point B. Also I own them because I'm an adult and I can :) pretty much yes about the practicality of a rifle...

I have a question that I'd appreciate a real, non-hysterical answer to but first a bit about my background. I have never fired a gun (other than BB) in my life. my father didn't hunt so we didn't have rifles around and in fact, the only "real" gun I've ever held in my life was my father's unloaded W...
