Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Ovieskillscomp_display_image

You will not see this tonight at the NHL Skills Competition due to a Shannaban. At least Chara will probably hit 105 MPH in the fastest shot competition again.

So welcome to your NHL Skills Competition Open Thread and whatever other college hoops, Rolex 24 at Daytona or, umm, UFC you got to talk about

Two weeks ago, I got dinner for my family because my dad was tired and didn't feel like cooking

So I offer to buy and I pick up food from a restaurant on the way home for dinner. Mom wants chicken parm sub. They give us an Italian sub. I go back, get another sub for her from another place that won’t fuck it up. Mom then refuses to eat it and yells at me for going out of my way to actually get food, and refuses to eat anything and yells the rest of the night. So I appreciate it if you don’t make me out to be the only fucking asshole here.

One of my engineering professors at Auburn was Chinese and had lived in the US less than 5 years.

She got very offended at being called “ma’am” and a few of us basically had a meeting with her in which we explained that in the South, it is a term of respect. It would be very difficult to expect a bunch of Alabamians who had gotten smacked with the wooden spoon by Mama for not saying ma’am to suddenly turn off a 20-year habit. I never got exactly why it offended her.

I'd assume if she was Chinese and only in the States for 5 years

"Platinum" supposedly.

I’m just saying there are some things about the design that I like. The grey….eh, as a one off one time thing, I guess I am ok with it.

The reflective letters/numbers outlined in blue are awful. But I like the design on the back of the jersey.

In fact, I would be all for these jerseys, except in blue and whites, becoming our new jerseys, with some modifications (ditch the reflective stuff, get rid of those stupid dots, us the UK colors)

They just used colors they already had and changed what was primary for the most part
"Logos are controlled by teams and the NFL," league spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT by email this morning. "That will not change. Teams have to apply to league to make changes to logos and colors.

"We anticipate new uniform technology (i.e., performance-driven, lighter materials). That’s what Nike’s [Charlie] Denson was referring to in his interview in 2010 regarding changes."

I bought a 3L bottle of "just in case" water when there was supposed to be a hurricane coming through.

I thought I was going to use it when the hot water went out last weekend, but since the heat was out, too, it wouldn’t have done any good, because I would have been freezing when I got out anyhow.

Kitajima won 100m and 200m gold at both Athens and Beijing, with a WR in there in Beijing. My “he’s not Phelps” comment is because he doesn’t compete in the variety of events Phelps does, but winning gold in two distances and bronze in some IM’s, with a few world championships thrown in is still pretty dominant.
