Do you know something we don't know.

No. Just posted it as a hypothetical idea because I think it makes for an interesting debate on both sides. But I would be very surprised if it even gets discussed between Holmgren and Lombardi, much less happens.

Of course I do. I'm an editor.

How about resign when they mean re-sign? And all the homophones (There, they're, their...here, hear). It's a good thing my eyes are attached or they'd roll right out of my head!

I stink at grammar.

I don't think I have an issue with this.

Can't speak for LA though....

it would make sense, i'd say jv and db are comparable players as far as value. i'd like the flyers' lines too

Leaving out a letter here or there is one thing. Transposing words is another.

My first experience with on-line forums was one where THAT would get you banned. Very high-brow place.

I've actually become pretty inured to a lot of the stuff. But when you use a completely different word that only vaguely resembles the one that would make sense? I just couldn't help myself.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but here is a exerpt from Frank's article this AM.


Now, Carter and Richards are reunited on the West Coast - a full 2,500 miles from Philadelphia - in a laid-back hockey environment that will support their well-chronicled off-ice adventures near the beach. The "Old City gang" has now become the "Manhattan Beach brew crew."

I know we all like to make a crack about Frick and Frack but to write this in the paper??? Really?

There's an advertising sign at one of the rinks I play at that is missing an apostrophe required to signify the possessive.

Bugs me every time I skate toward that net.

I will use WORD when I am not sure about something.

All I can say is thank God for the wife! She is the brains in this operation!

COC Bo! No correcting others grammar and or use of vocabulary. It is trollish.

In all seriousness considering your profession, it must take a great deal of restraint not to get your "red pen" out and just go nuts.

Any news on a potential Hartsy hearing with Shanny? I don't think he should get one. In the replay I saw it didn't look like he was intentionally trying to take out the guys knee.

It's silly. But I will admit to enjoying the Twitter chatter about the deal last night. I was laughing out loud about Richie having the rose petals and champagne ready.

It does stink that Carter was pulled out of a fan event to be told he was traded. A chapter of his life he'll try to forget.

It was sold by the originators to Bravo, so isn't as hard core now. But it's Television without Pity. Amazing how intelligently people could discuss television in all its genres. Now there seem to be fewer and younger posters. And the recappers aren't nearly as effective.

IMO it should never have been in question. his legs were together, not like he stuck one out. had a leg gone out to initiate the contact i'd say 2 games, but he just skated hard at another player and the knee on knee was incidental contact.

Dreger Twitter on Dustin Brown:

A quality young d-man and solid secondary scorer part of what might land Brown. He's worth it. #TradeCentre

Too rich for my blood
