No one is happy with what they are seeing. I will always defend a star player who has to take matters into his own hands because of the way penalties aren’t called.

Yet you want a coach who is .500 in playoff games and can’t finish a series at home.

Yes. Wouldn’t they all complain about penalties not called? Wouldn’t they all rather play with their skills than with their goons?

of course in a perfect world, but i think that the article makes the point that sidney is losing his $h!t over it, and cheapshotting and even Mario isn’t cool with that.

It is 54, cloudy and raining off and on-it poured last night ahead of the cold front...

Jay the Carney is a farceur-
His nervous laugh and grin
At first were almost amusing
But now they are wearing thin

He gets paid to spin things,
And do what he’s been told
But lies have overcome him
And all he does now is scold

Some of the pandering media
Feel foolish to have stayed-
It shows now in the briefings-
They’re pissed at being played...

Un todoterreno es necesidad aqui...

I can’t find my rain gauge, but I put out an old saucepan and it has over 2 inches of water in it...

oh, we should fear for them all....the world wants our Christian children, we need to pray for them. Look what’s happening to those Christian school girls....yes, that’s blatant action, but the powers of evil in this country are much more devious.
