I shouldn't be surprised but tell me why one of the supposed Flyers beat writers from NBC Sports doesn't realize that Farabee and O'Brien are not eligible to play in the rookie game?

Development camp offered us the first glimpse of Jay Farabee and Jay O'Brien, the Flyers' two first-round picks this year, on the ice. The rookie game will be the first time we see them in an actual competitive situation.

The Mike Milbury rule applies here.

Any trade Mike Milbury is part of as a GM automatically gets filed under "bad trade for the team that employs Mike Milbury".

But Mike Milbury is a genius. Ask him & he will tell you so.

Having a major issue with it. There is an application process for Podcast Connect but I keep getting stuck in a log-in loop where I can't get to a menu to submit it for review. Not sure how to work around it. I've followed all the help suggestions that are available online.... it's apparently a common problem.

We also have uploaded to Soundcloud and have submitted to TuneIn and Stitcher (both have been approved).

Ah sorry to hear. Hope it all works out for you and SoundCloud works perfectly for me. Thanks!

I'm gonna have to get Sling to watch all these blacked-out games on the Gamecenter app. Oh well. Still $150 cheaper than cable.

Obviously I'd have to accept it either way, but I really hope they can come to a fair agreement and he stays.

Agree with ya!

However, I’ve learned not to be baited by a ding dong. Just ignore the noise.

Was a bad deal, but not close to the Luongo deal.

Actually, that wasn't Homer's worst trade, either.

NBCSN are dropping the "Rivalry" part of the title.

Hopefully, Milbury is the next thing they get rid of.

Versteeg was a bait and switch thing, but he at least came with a proven track record. Homer seemed to have a "Hey, he played well against us one time," kind of affection for players (Eminger, Shelley) that he went after.

brb

Edit:

Okay, the Toto version is good, even though the sound quality on the video I saw sucks, and even though the Weezer version is just good.

They should have covered Weezer's cover of Toto's Africa

Ahh... these two bands need to go on tour with each other and only play sets of each other's songs.


lol

Also:

Weezer "Island In The Sun" > Empty Trash "Island In The Sun"

Yeah, not my favorite song overall. But I was intrigued to listen after hearing Weezer do a decent job of covering Africa. Toto's version, to me, is clearly better, for both songs.
