MINUS: The Coyotes are playing poorly and have lost six of seven, but it's honestly just a bummer that after years of being a bad team with financial troubles who couldn't compete, their goalie (who was having a Vezina worthy season) gets injured immediately after they acquired Taylor Hall.
MINUS: 16 losses in a row to the Bruins for the Coyotes, dating back to 2010.
PLUS: The band the House Martins (which I believe is some form of bird). They sound exactly like the Smiths, so if you're ever bummed out there's only so many Smiths songs, this is a bonus.
MINUS: With the Twitter and instant analysis becoming a regular part of the games, I find the tendency to blame someone for every single goal really detracts from the hockey experience.
MINUS: There is nothing really more pathetic on this planet than macho posturing, and so for a non-douche to enjoy sports, you've really got to ignore a lot of dumb things.
But the dumbest - by far - is the ridiculous macho idea that injuries have no effect on who wins. Good teams win regardless of injuries and anyone who says different is something the Presidente might grab without permission.
Except for the inconvenient fact that the champion of basically every league every year is whoever is the healthiest among contending teams.
Sports! Chicken Wings! Tank Tops! Goatees! Pick-Up Trucks!
PLUS: Pop Star: Never Stop Stopping.
MINUS: The Boston Red Sox - the richest team in sports - just traded their best player away to save a ton of money.
it's pathetic, and it's way worse than what the Astros did. At least the Astros were trying to win. The Red Sox, whose owner is so rich he could set half his money on fire and not change his lifestyle at all, are a pathetic example of the double standard we set in sports.
Cheating is the worst thing a person can do, but unfettered greed is perfectly acceptable. The MLB is a grotesque joke of league.
PLUS: It's been 20 years and I still think people who watch reality TV are losers.
MINUS: I run a small business and one of the craziest rules I have about hiring employees is this: You must be able to speak at least two coherent sentences in a row. No one in my business has control over nuclear weapons either. Just saying.
PLUS: The best TV show that never got any credit was the Terminator TV Show with the dude from 90210 and the chick from Garbage.
MINUS: Criticizing a guy for failing to spend money on a back-up goalie while the NHL the four or five best goalies in the league this year are completely random guys no one has heard or - Elvis Merzlikens, Tristan Jarry etc.
PLUS: The Kovalchuck Saga - nothing warms my heart like the redemption of a millionaire who plays a game for a living having to make it on just 750K.
