  1. I know when people are crying and screaming, I can't hear a thing on my phone. That's why I use gags.
  2. He didn't know the area, and couldn't find anyone. So he called his son. /doh.
  3. That was a nice episode about the Ducks and teaching kids about hockey. I think the Samulei's had a big part of doing this. It has henry's engineering background all over it. Which is a really good thing of mixing hockey with science, and making it fun for kids, but learning something new.
  4. Oh BTW. How is this for lawyer speak. Saw an interview with his lawyer. According to him, he was found a mile+ away from the accident because he was trying to find help.
  5. Just to play devils advocate. But people here are saying that the MLB clubhouse is not a place for him. First, I don't think coke is rampant in the clubhouse, except maybe the managers office in Texas. But maybe his relapse was due to the whatever tv show his wife or him are on? Because well, coke and entertainers never mix. And I'm sorry folks. But for an addict, you suddenly find yourself in a situation where it's available, no matter how much you try to avoid it. Sometimes you just can't.
  6. If it's a first time offender. Then going by what Jim B posted on page 5 and what DiGiovanna tweeted. Then it would be counseling and extra testing. Which would probably mean it's not a suspension, and probably would get paid. Until official, it could really go a number of ways.
  7. Sometimes it's better when someone who has a financial interest in a person pays for it, and not the person themselves. While Hamilton can afford his own accountability partner, it's a different situation when a outside source pays for someone to stay with him on the road, eat dinner with him, manage his money, etc. And since it's from an outside source, while Hamilton can eventually veto him, the consequences of a veto will go back to the outside source. Chances of a veto wouldn't be very common. If Hamilton is paying, then it would be easier to veto the services, then do what they want. Because Hamilton is the boss.
  8. Judging by how the Angels have acted. It sounds like this might be the end of the process. Especially if a suspension is about to come down.
  9. This sounds more correct. Just because it's in the current language, doesn't mean that it carries over. (see Arod) I just hope the dude gets help. It's one thing to be a PED user. Hate those guys, and the penalties are not harsh enough. But he has some serious demons chasing him. The worse thing that MLB can do is turn their backs on him. Because baseball aside, he needs help.
  10. Yes. Players have a right to appeal, and see the evidence against them. It may not always be in New York. But there is a meeting.
  11. Flashback. Josh Hamilton, Angels Slugger, Downsizes Role of Anti-Drug "Accountability Partner"
  12. FYI. $23 million for 2015. $30 million for 2016. $30 million for 2017. Luxury tax hit of $25 million.
  13. California train crash: Wife of driver says he was grieving child's death Sounds like they are already starting to make excuses.
  14. Imagine if instead they made a water line that went east to west. Then maybe food wouldn't be so out of control in price. But I guess Canadian oil is more important. Especially at below $50 a barrel.
  15. Justice Dept. Won’t Charge George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin Killing Any thoughts? Or is everyone becoming jaded like me, and just don't care anymore.
  16. No panic moves. Just a bunch of strategery. I likes.
  17. According to the news conference. Guy in the truck missed the intersection and somehow tried to cross along the tracks and got stuck.
  18. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/habs-acquire-forward-smith-pelly-from-ducks/article23178229/ Really does sound like a win win. Habs had too many left wingers, and needed size. Ducks had too many right wingers, and needed quicker skill. Sekac gets to move back to his usual position of left wing.
  19. But the blackness quotient for the Canadiens is at an all time high.
