Just go back to the uniforms used from the 60s to the 90s or whenever they made the switch to those god awful late 90s unis. Go back to the old logo too.

We had GB1 on VHS so I watched that constantly. I then got super into the cartoon, which lead to me seeing GB2 in theaters. Now that I think about it, my reaction to GB2 in the theater was probably the reason why my mom did not allow me to see Batman in the theater a few weeks later. I was so mad at...

That's great. My first theater memory is GB2 and watching from the aisle near the door because it was so damn scary that I often had to run into the hallway. I must've been 5 years old and Vigo had me shook.

Two hand tap, steady QB, 5 players on each side, defender must count to "3 Mississippi" before rushing.

Yeah there are some wild what ifs out there. Harrison Ford was offered Alan Grant in JP, John Travolta turned down Forrest Gump, Jack Nicholson as Michael Corleon, Robert Redford as Superman, Elf was originally written for Jim Carey, and so on.

Three elements in the hip drop. Grip - usually high, neck/shoulder. Rotation - Usually a twisting motion where the tackler is becoming perpendicular to the runner. Weight drop - Usually right on to the back of the legs of the runner. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1772275118460309886?t=vJ7CmPe...

And John Candy in the Rick Moranis role but he turned it down. As much as I love John Candy, there's only one Louis Tully. It would've been a much different character with Candy.

Ghostbusters 84 is still my favorite movie of all time. It's insanely rewatchable and it's just as entertaining as an adult as it was when I was a kid. It hits different now, obviously. Ray's ghost blowjob dream is a real wtf moment when you're finally old enough to realize what's happening. The og ...

Politics And Current Events

Bombing suspects are a different breed in terms of their catchability. There's usually no outward indication of their involvement (as direct action on their part is often not required by the nature of the thing), they aren't waving a weapon around and shouting slogans and whatnot, they aren't requi...

I'm honestly surprised they got all (?) 4 of them alive and this quickly, especially given that it took us like 4 days to catch the Boston Marathon bombers. Well, Russia claims that they got all 4 of them. They then tortured them until they confessed. Now historically torture isn't the most reliabl...

and I don’t know how many of those are because of his play. I don’t really recall saying “yeah Jars isn’t seeing it tonight.”

Sully doesn’t have many levers to pull. yanking the goalie is one of the few
Oh yeah for sure. It has been much more of a team/defense failure than a goalie failure.

Jarry has been replaced 7 times this year.

Binnington, who has played about the same amount of games, has been replaced 5 times...for comparison.
Is that it? Did they all happen within the last 2 weeks? It feels much more common than that.

I tried really hard to find a stat for number of games each goalie has been pulled this season. I came up empty but it does feel that we’ve had a goalie change in a fair amount of games.

They caught at least one. There’s video of him just after being captured.
