About Last Night

What you missed while trying to make sense of a world in which Jan Brady is 50 years old ...
• NBA: All those who had Suns vs. Mavericks in the second round of the playoffs, please put down your pencils and exit the room quietly.
• NHL: All those who had the Avalanche advancing to the ... oh, forget it.
• MLB: David Wright saves the day for Mets' crappy bullpen. NY 5, Pirates 4, 11 innings.

What you missed while realizing in his race for the Presidency of All Sports Media, AJ and Drew have become Will's Rev. Wright.

What you missed as you realized that your team can probably kill off one too many men on the ice penalty, but not two in a row.

Thankfully, Ozzie came up huge late in the game.

What you missed while losing every ounce of respect for Buzz Bissinger...

I know it's been discussed at length in DU!AN and the previous post, but good work, Will. Your response really was the best way out of a no-win situation...

What you missed while anticipating Marty Turco's return to the Joe for playoff hockey.

It'll be tough to root against him, for about 0.3 seconds.

@Al Czerviks Ride: I felt the same way about TJ last night. Sadly, at times, he looked like Colorado's best player. I don't know if that's good for Hensick, or bad for Colorado.

Besides, if Marty gets the urge to go awandering, as he was prone to do, that's not the worst thing in the world for Wings fans. But, first things first, closing out Colorado. Remember the Bloody Sock.

@Yostal: 2:00 for Failure To Count is bad enough, but that was ridiculous.

@Al Czerviks Ride: Agreed, presuming all goes well. It's nice to see him shed what remained of his NHL reputation as a guy who couldn't win in the playoffs. I'm not in as big of a hurry to see him find a way to win at the Joe.

I'm referring to the best Sox game of the year so far.

@Yostal:

It's amazing that at least 3 of the 4 teams that will be in the conference finals are big American markets, including one in the South. Gary Bettman's busy jacking off.

@Hustler of Culture: I feel for you. I live in Norfolk, VA and get both MASN and MASN2, WGN and all. My dad lives in Elizabeth City, NC (about an hour south) and he doesn't get any of those channels.

Maybe somebody is showing the mudcats.

@Afino: All knock wood caveats stated:
The possibilities of Detroit/Dallas and Philly/Pittsburgh or Montreal/Pittsburgh has to make Bettman happy. Even if Montreal isn't an American market, they carry the cachet of old time hockey. Plus, you get Sid the Kid, which can only help as well.

first comment didnt' go through.

Tigers first game at Yankees last night. Is that dude with the spoon and pan there every night? That shit got old really fast.

Michigan trifecta last night. Tigers, Wings and Pistons all win.

@Afino: Which would he rather have? Montreal, for the Canadian, Original 6 team and a possible all O-6 Finals? Or the LETSGONUTSO Philly crowd, for the battle of PA?

I am a big Habs fan, so my viewpoint is a little skewed...

What you missed while being the first Deadspin commenter ever to have their comment appear on HBO.

Seriously, shea guevara had a little more screen time, but mine was the very first that showed up (I told Clare to suck it after the Mets beat the Phillies - how very high-brow of me). I TIVO'ed it, bitches!

I briefly saw the "Suck it Clare", and knew it was mine, but I wasn't sure if I was hallucinating. When I rewound it, I laughed so hard that my dog piddled a little.

@Al Czerviks Ride:

Well I think the ideal SCF for most hockey fans would be Detroit/Montreal. Just for the whole Original Six thing, Habs going for 25 Cups and the entire Canadian (and some American) population pulling for them.

I personally don't want Montreal to win the Cup only because it makes their fanatics that much more insufferable, much like Boston fans. But I think ANY Detroit/
(insert East team here) would be incredibly exciting.

@Al Czerviks Ride: Bettman would rather have the Canadiens move to Vegas, so I'm thinking he wants Pittsburgh-Detroit.

They probably taped that part two weekends ago when the Mets played the Phils. Of course, I was away at my brother's in NJ and was off the internet for 3-4 days.

guess that explains why he won't be on the show anymore. Maybe the producers already knew about his problems.

Whether it was because he was pitted against a blustering fool or because Costas started off with an obvious bias against him, Will still couldn't hold his own.

He had ample opportunity to defend points like whether or not he's here to humiliate athletes or just be funny, and he didn't. He twitched and stammered and hammed it up.

Like it or not, he's now as "mainstream" as a blogger can get, and he didn't represent well why that should mean something.
