  1. Matthew Anoa'i died last night at age 47 due to heart failure. He worked as Rosey, a member of Three Minute Warning and the brother of Roman Reigns.
  2. I think Holtby gets the blame. Which is tough to lay at his feet.
  3. To be honest, I cant even remember if she turned face or not. WWE does really bad face turns. Heel turns, much better. Face turns, almost non existent. They have a weird belief system about certain things. Like selling. In WWE, they dont believe in selling.
  4. Ovechkin seems pretty tight with the Caps' owner. But at what point does he want to win a Championship? Being a piece of a really good team rather then THE piece of a team that cant get it done...? Maybe one season in Pittsburgh? ;-)
  5. But she's rocks cousin so she gets pushed. Balor cleared this afternoon but they kept his match short. Another great angle with Stroman. Very well booked match with Show.
  6. Wow Blackhawks. What do they do this off season? Barring a comeback of course
  7. You can never know for sure but it's hard not to imagine Fleury coming here on December doesn't get the Jets in the playoffs. And then anything can happen. If you protect Fleury does Vegas take Helle over a forward? Would they take a pick to leave him? It's all speculation unless you're lucky enough to know Fleury personally and know the details....
  8. They were acting under the direction of the airline. Certainly the police are likely to be sued as well. But United is the bigger fish. The police really acted inappropriately as well and that is shown by the fact two of them were suspended. I asked that question early on...why does a gate agent have the authority to direct the actions of the police? Really they don't but its a matter of usual protocol probably. Agent says they have exercised their right to remove an "unruly" passenger and at that point, the police see him as breaking the law. One can make the argument that the passenger was wrong as soon as he refused the order to leave. But thats a "wrong" stemming from several wrongs committed by the airline.
  9. It's not random even though that's what they claimed. They have a list of things they consider first. Like how inconvenienced someone would be. Whether they are in a group travelling etc. Unaccompanied minors. So after eliminating all their other considerations they chose four people. Three left. This guy didn't. Also as far as inconveniencing an entire flight if this crew weren't able to board, I don't buy it. If there was a flight in another city leaving soon why was their flight crew in Chicago? Plus because of this the flight was delayed as long as it would have taken for that crew to rent a car and drive. I think it was arrogance that the employees should get dibs. Keep in mind United also broke federal policy in that they did not provide the passengers with a written explanation of their rights and how much compensation they were entitled too. They stopped the money offer at $800. But by federal law those passengers affected were entitled to up to $1300. Other passengers had offered to leave for $1600 and were allegedly laughed at. Knowing you are legally committed to paying up to $1300 why would you laugh off $1600? Because United was trying to pay less than they were legally obligated to. United completely to blame.
  10. Well that's the argument. But if (big if) Pens were willing to trade him for a 2nd round pick and Fleury was willing to come here (as he said he would when asked) AND you lose him in expansion you basically look at it as making the payoffs for a 2nd pick (taking into account making playoffs is no guarantee ) so even we did lose him it was still worth it. But you've still got the asset. So you can either trade him or Helle and if you get anything equal to a 2nd round pick you've broken even. You can also make a deal with Vegas. Either way he's still an asset to do something with.
  11. One game suspension for Calvert is ridiculous.
  12. CNN had an interesting article about North Korea. Apparently the issue isn't their military technology because it's mostly old. But they have a massive stockpile of weapons. So if they wanted to go nuts it would be devastating to someone probably South Korea and Japan. Or whomever. If the US strikes they'd really have to strike fully and completely and knock out their ability to respond.
  13. Old kook. Sorry. Missed you're appearance on tsn. Are you in high demand? You always insult people rather then express a reasonable opinion. Are you so insecure you can't just discuss? You have to try and tear down? Really it's getting old man. You have no idea the reality of any Pens/Jets talk. Mane my originally point was obviously some sarcasm about Fleury playing well. And extrapolating that had the jets got goaltending help on December they might be in the playoffs now. But being condescending is easier than having a mature discussion.
  14. What else did Fleury tell you? You've obviously spoken to it grow up lol
  15. Good thing we didn't bring in a Fleury for a 2nd round draft pick. He sucks.
  16. Kathleen Kennedy said they regrouped in the wake of Fisher's death and she will NOT be in Episode 9. She said her brother was probably confused when he said Lucas film asked for permission to use archival footage in wondering if both are true. Force ghost Carrie at the end of 9.
