Re: Boston - 18 years ago
krosenyc94Not to start a political flamefest but anyone else think it odd that one of the bluest of the blue states spent $17 billion on a highway? it's very blue state-ish to spend other peoples' money, given how much easier it is than spending one's own. Yeah. 'cause the red states certainly refuse billions in federal farm subsidies every year. oh wait... The 15 states that benefit the moby jeh25 - Hockey

I really don't want to beat this horse anymore, but for those of you that are convinced that you are unbiased in your ability to assess the skill of officials during a game in which you are emotionally invested, I offer the following: Ehrlinger, J., Gilovich, T., & Ross, L.

Re: Hansen Article - 18 years ago
jmh30 I have no problem with him doing an important Cornell game. Honestly, when I heard how bad a job "Hansen" was doing this weekend, I was a bit confused... The fact that it was a different Hansen clears a lot up. Sounds like this Dave Hansen fellow was pretty f'ing awful. Assuming we're talking about the same Dave Hansen, he's Scott's older brother. Given that Dave is the nby jeh25 - Hockey

II. Phil started to suck just as his wife left him, which (perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not) corresponds to when his solo career started -- call him Peter Townsend without the part about sex with Mick Jagger*. a) wasn't Bowie and Jaggar? b) solo Townshend most certainly does not suck. c) you mispelled Pete's name - see b III(b).

Hillel Hoffmann Wrote: John, I think what Fred was referring to was the atmosphere surrounding the event as it was unfolding -- that awful feeling among people who listened to the game or attended the game (as Fred did during the Boairdi tragedy) that something very, very, very bad was happening, but one didn't know the details. The sense of foreboding in both cases was compounded by incompleby jeh25 - Hockey
