The in-house Nashville announcer is much, much more annoying than Ryan Mill ever will be, and Ryan Mill is pretty damn annoying.

Has The PensBlog Completely Deteriorated To Utter Crap?

Source of the post I'm not sure Adam is involved. He never posts links to articles or even mentions the site.
Not sure he writes there anymore, but his account still auto-tweets new posts.

So what do you want the Constable to do? Grab the guy with the gun, turn him 90 degrees to the left, then subdue the guy pointing a gun at him?

I don't know how you could ever justify shooting at an innocent 12 year old kid even if your own life is in danger
He didn't shoot at the 12 year old though.

The Ol' 29-er's Fight with Concussions

The NFL didn't bury Concussion. It was released a week after Star Wars, which also happened to be Christmas. Really poor planning on their part.

I will say, this is only the 2nd class that's used plagiarism stuff. We did have to turn in a final 7+ page research paper into Turnitin in a class I took like a year ago, but this class requires everything to be checked which makes me think that it's a new Blackboard feature, and if so, it's a load...

With TurnItIn? That's really high. I know this will shock you, but I'm *REALLY* good a writing a ton without actually saying anything. My reports have always come back with less than 5%.

In my program we had thresholds we couldn't exceed. Ususlly overall originality of > 85%.
I don't know. Our class page has it set up like:

0-15% = probably just coincidence
15-40% = quoted too much, didn't paraphrase, or plagiarized
> 40% = red flag

Plagiarism software.

In case you didn't think the NHL had something to do with his trade, this is pretty much the smoking gun.

I kinda feel bad for Maloney. He sounded like he really had no choice in the matter, and people are lighting him up for trading Scott.

Crosby would be throwing his phone into the river because he likely doesn't want to play the ASG, and at the time of that tweet, Ovechkin's replacement hadn't been named yet.

... so you're only looking at the optics of it, and not the act itself? Fundamentally, the two are not different. In both situations, a player struck a referee. If it's that black and white, both should have received suspensions. Kris Letang did not even receive a warning from the league. It will be...

so if there's any intention of calling the game by the books, then that's an automatic 10 game suspension. it's black and white.

if they don't feel like being so mean, they need to change the rule.
Kris Letang didn't even get a warning when he did it during the Islanders series.

I see it as like a lottery. You don't get a chance to change 3 of your 4 numbers after you get one number right. What you've picked, you're stuck with.
