It is not a surprise that Rashard Lewis has already been amnestied. He look good last season or at least go enough be better than any other small foward on their roster, so he wasn't anmestied before the season. He won't he won't be anmestied now because even if he is not trade, he will be bought out. He only has a partially guaranteed contract, so it makes financial to just cut him if he can't be traded.
So your favorite teams are the Lakers, Red Sox, Cowboys, Penguins, and USC... Not mainstream teams at all..
Hey great article on the Kings bud! Really good stuff.
how can i contact you?
Crosby just got dominated by Claude Giroux, who this year is arguably the best player in the league. In an article about the top 100 players in the league "right now" you have Giroux at #18, slightly above Chris Pronger. The same Chris Pronger who hasn't played but a few games this year and will never play again, due to the severity of his concussions. Crosby, meanwhile, proved through the first round of the playoffs that he's not as good as Malkin and actually hurts the chemistry of the team when on the ice. You would think that someone as involved in math could add up 1+1, it equals two. 1 is that you don't seem to know hockey and the other 1 is that you seem to have read last years player ratings. That would add up to the number 2, in this case it represents the reasons you should never write about hockey, again.
Hey Andre. Just checked on your latest and saw that you had received an edit.
Really, Crysby is your favorite player?? I couldn't tell based on how you picked him as the top 100 in the league when he sucked massive .... Have you even ever laced up a pair of skates? I bet if you did they had a toe pick on them. You need to stop writing for the bleacher report because you give them less and less credibility by the day. You need to stick to Mathematical Economics because you wouldn't know statistics if they bit you in the ass. Seriously?!?!? Corey Perry in your top 15 after dropping 61 points from last year??? No wonder Ron Artest is your favorite player, you have no class. (and no, I will not call him by his fake Ochocinco name)
Did you take any journalism classes at USC?! If so, it is not apparent, based off your top 100 list. What happened to being an unbiased, impartial journalist? I know that article is clearly supposed to be opinionated, but your opinions are still supposed to be impartial, and impartiality was thrown out of the window with that article. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Oh gosh I know...Giroux is a good player, but I was laughing when he was being called the best in the world. Where is his Cup, gold medal and MVP trophy then?
I am glad Washington is still alive. Normally I would not be such a traitor and root for them. However, the AHL Penguins are playing Hershey in the playoffs, and Hershey is Washington's AHL team. Some of the players on the Caps, including Braden Holtby, are Hershey players. So the longer they stay, the more it benefits the Baby Penguins, who are leading Hershey 2-0 in the series right now. That said, I can't see myself cheering for anyone in the East now. I'd love to see the Preds go far, though.
Ahhh, the NBA. I can't stand basketball. I'll watch the Yankees haha (sorry, I'm not suffering through the Pirates).
So Andrew...what stage of grief are you at with the Pens' elimination today? I think I only went through denial and acceptance...haha.
