This is one of the best things anyone has ever said, ever.

It might be completely original, but ask Kungfoodude if he’s ever read Douglas Adam’s Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Adams has a joke about building spaceships powered by bad news because it’s the only thing that travels faster than the speed of light.

Not to cast aspersions because I might have mined Adams work for a few joke concepts myself.

I have read it but YEARS ago. It was just a stream of consciousness thought. Perhaps it rattled loose from some dusty, cobweb filled corner that remembered that book, however. I don't know.

Honestly, what else can he do right now? Is there a GM on the street who can magically draft guys in November or find Kurt Warner bagging groceries? It’s mid season so unless there’s a coaching candidate sitting on his ass, there’s not much to do right now except play the last 7 games and evaluate.

The non-football stuff he can control and work on so why is it so bad that he is doing that? People complain about Spartanburg (not me, have a feeling the fan interactions go away) and practicing in a ball room and he’s fixing that quickly.

Just wanna add to this that Tepper is a highly successful hedge fund manager. The skill set required to do that well includes the ability to juggle all kinds of tasks and information simultaneously. Doing the comparatively passive job in season of owning an NFL team while also working on development projects is not something that will tax his capacity  in the slightest.If anything I’d put money it’s comparatively simple. We do not have Joe Mouth Breather as an owner.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
