I used to like Costas years ago but in the last few years he has turned into the Rosie O'Donnell of sports announcers. He needs to realize he is there for entertainment purposes only and that nobody gives a fug about his crybaby view on anything but sports.

Sad part is; McDonald's fiance had visible wounds per the San Jose Police report.

 

Hardy's victim did not, unless I'm mistaken.

 

Nonetheless, there was a drum beat against Hardy and the Panthers, and none with McDonald and San Francisco. The media just took San Fran's word.

 

And to add, Hardy was convicted on a misdemeanor (yes we know he has an appeal pending). McDonald is awaiting a felony (no doubt due to his fiances visible injuries). However, you rarely heard the terms "Felony" or "Misdemeanor" mentioned in the coverage. Of course none of all this seemed to matter, or make it into all the media pontificating.

 

Why the double standard/how could this be missed (we know why)!?

I actually met him in 1986 at a Cardinals Spring Training game in St. Petersburg.  Back then, the stadiums were set up where the media folk had to walk through the stands to get to the press box (that's how I got to meet Ernie, Sr., Skip, and Pete with the Braves crew in the same timeframe).  He was actually very humble and welcoming, even though he was barely 5'4".  Who knows what the fug happened to his ego.

The NFL is in a tough spot and I suspect you will see some new rules soon regarding whether to allow a trial to play out or not before making their own decision.

Most employers would fire an employee for being arrested for domestic violence, much less proven guilty. I refuse to defend or feel sorry for any player like Hardy, even if on appeal he's found innocent.

Really? Most employers would fire an employee for a DV arrest? Based on what data?

      Porter Martone is going to be a great player.  Hard to believe how little NHL experience he had going into the playoffs.

      A sweep is a sweep but I can’t say the Flyers are a team to hang your hat on sweeping. The fact two of the games went to OT means this series could easily be 2-2 right now with wildly different vibes. I think given how many ECF losses they have, Brindamour needs to go HAM on this team with the long layoff until the next game.

      A side note I liked watching this Flyers team. A few years ago I remember people saying the Devils were the up and coming team in the east when the Canes swept them. I didn’t see it. I didn’t see hard play, high effort, doing the dirty work. This Flyers team had all that. The Canes are just way more experienced and talented. And the Flyers hung with them taking it to OT twice for a series the Flyers had no business being in. I can see them becoming a perennial contender as their young core grows. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a rematch next year.
