Listen, I'm not saying that Edmonton will do anything.  All I am saying is that any incoming player who is a first round pick has significantly more risk with regards to actually matriculating, particularly at an ECAC school where there are less games played, worse competition, and much more of a school first, hockey second philosophy than our bretherin out West.

Seriously. We have to play Harvard twice a year!  

QuoteLook at JD Drew and the Red Sox.  Theo continues to play Drew despite his horrendous play.  Why?  Because he wasted $70MM on him and would be ridiculed to no end were he to pay a guy $14MM a year to sit on the bench.
Right. It's a good thing they are playing Drew; now Theo isn't taking any shit about that signing. That tactic sure fooled everyone.

This is why I abandoned the Bills; they kept starting Johnson instead of Flutie, even though his performance was far worse in every measurable way, because they were paying him far more.  Look, you're spending the money on him whether he's playing or not, so as long as you're out the cash regardless, you might as well be trying to win games by playing your best players.

The alternatives for the Sox are...um...underwhelming.  Wily Mo Pena?  Eric Hinske?  [Or is that Nastassja Kinski?]  No Fluties there.

Umm, the object of the game is to swing and miss, right?

For the Red Sox at least. I fully approve of Willy Mo's flailing.

I'm about 90% sure I saw Riley Nash in the Ithaca area today.

Looks like he's playing this year.

Doug '08

Show's what you know.  He's obviously going to show up for the Red/White scrimage, see what a classless, unprofessional rapist the coach is, realize that Cornell is the last place on earth anyone would want to play and instantly hop a private jet to wisk him away to the OHL.

Wait...how'd I get in DILLIGAF's world?

You'd think a university like Cornell could afford to hire a professional rapist.

Shit, did I just imply that rape is a sport?  ::screwy::

Well, ugarte implied that it's an academic discipline.  Not sure which is more offensive.

Well then, you explain jello shot parties. I rest my case (about being the most offensive.)
