Man, almost like we should have been outraged that a company that was successful profitable and privately owned was forced to sell because of a billionaire's vendetta. and people were literally cheering it because some of the old writers were dicks.

Timby posted:So, Drew didn't spend a month in the hospital because he was drunk. Heard on the deadcast he can't drink anymore because of his bad brain. Probably for the best all things considered, but what a weird freak accident. Given the uncertainty and weird media silence at the time I'm glad everything seems to be okay and he appears to be the same dude. Shame about Marchman. Roth is better on the podcast and an excellent writer for deadspin, but Marchman was a good foil to Magary and seemed well-liked. The Gawker universe is strange in that some people go on to prominent gigs like Jia or Adrian Chen or even Kevin Draper. But a lot seem to flounder. Pareene is immensely talented and only recently landed a gig. Scocca's thing seems like kind of a flop.

I watch like five hockey games a year unless the ducks make a deep playoff run so it's entirely possible that I too am a big dummy but to me calling it when a dude is clearly in the process of exiting the ice and not really impacting the play at all seems pretty ticky tack and not necessarily in keeping with the intention of the rule.

Offsides or illegal formation would depend. Those are both cases where generally the violation would have the potential to actually impact the play, which this doesn't really seem to have done. Trying to catch the defense offsides or draw them off with the snap is also part of the strategy of football whereas this just seems like dumb luck more than anything. There have been plenty of illegal formation calls that I thought were pretty ticky tack and dumb though.

Do we really want to give refs more leniency in maybe falling rules when they feel like it? Like you are considered on the field/ice until you get your rear end off is pretty cut and dried and even Landeskog agrees he hosed up rather than blaming the rule.. All changing the rule would do is shift the argument to “he was close enough!” Vs. “No he wasn’t!” which seems a million times worse.

The only thing I remember about 2nd period line changes is that you always cross the blue line before you exit the ice/rink, and the highest level I ever played at is the sort of rec league where half the time you skated for the opposing team because not enough people showed up. It's a stupid rule and a lovely way for a goal to be called back, but at the end of the day Landeskog is the one that hosed up. Also, I have no idea why Petchesky keeps going on about it being a delayed offside call.

The point of the offsides rule is to stop dudes from cherry picking. Figuring out if a skate is a half-inch above the ice a millisecond before the puck is really lame and dumb

You must remember that these ticky-tack decorum rules that negatively affect the play and audience experience are in place because organized sports are only secondarily about expressions of competitive human athletics and primarily about socializing an acceptance of dehumanizing behaviors that make the populous into better citizens of the military industrial complex. And to give people a reason to bitch at bars.
