Hadn't seen that before, but I am pulling for MDZ even more now. I agree..Hockey players are the best.

Yeah, I did the same thing while toggling the Bears game. I just settled in finally to watch the Bears D continue to fall apart.

is it chip or the players just aren't good?

No idea. I'm a casual fan of the Eagles and football in general. I follow the Bears but couldn't name 10 players on the team off the top of my head.

Never take Forte in a fantasy league. That's my fantasy advice for the day.

same here, more or less. my wife is a Bears fan and so I watch them and hope they win (unless they play the Eagles and then I secretly root for the Eagles). Couldn't care less either way really though.

Interesting take on risks of summer conditioning and a bit about Kimmo's future at the end.

I found the piece on Andy Andreoff intriguing. Reminds me of someone.

Under-the-radar name to keep an eye on: Kings forward Andy Andreoff. He is no longer waiver-exempt, so if Los Angeles tries to send him down, he’d have to clear through every other team. Very unlikely that happens, as a few of them like his AHL-polished game. So, does he stay? Or does L.A. make another move to keep him?

I get a ton of anxiety over watching both teams and I've been a Bears fan almost as long as I've been a Flyers fan. I was more into it as a teenager when I played. Now it's mostly just Hockey. Between the Flyers and the kid playing and all the rest of the teams and leagues there's not much time to sneak in football. I try to catch one game a week (or maybe just a half).

I have him in 2 leagues as well. The Bears have had some tough matchups.

I'm not panicking.

Yet.

Neither am I. Their schedule has been tough with run defenses. Forte still gets receiving yards though

I can't believe Flyers fans made such a big deal over the loss of the ice girls.

They were a joke. It was a stupid gimmick.

Also, that new girl next to Shawny Hill was horrible. I felt so bad for her. She's also clueless about hockey.

Eh, I get it. There used to be pretty girls to look at on the ice. Now, they're gone.

These sorts of things will get noticed when you pay a ton of money to go to a meaningless preseason game.

People will be over it by Christmas.

Streit said he wasn't that happy with how he played in the post game interview with Bundy, but he had 4 points.

- Feanor


Maybe Streit was unhappy because his +/- was zero.
