    2026 Pirates Thread

    Might be time to start looking at the coaching staff. Where's Jim Leyland when you need him?

    McKenna goes #1 in NHL Draft

    Of course. 'Top line production' would include the second line. McKenna will start out on the third line and be on the second by January, IMHO. Toronto is working to become relevant right now. I like what they're doing on defense too.

    McKenna goes #1 in NHL Draft

    Kindel held his own for the most part. He did get laid out a few times, but that's part and parcel to being a rookie NHL forward. The difference is Kindel was drafted #11 and was on the Pen's third line. Toronto needs top line production and doesn't have a Crosby or Malkin to take up a lot of...

    McKenna goes #1 in NHL Draft

    The boy will need some sand in his shorts to be NHL ready. Imagine what someone like Wilson, Trenin, or Clutterbuck would do with McKenna. He'll be in the cross hairs for sure.

    Strange goings-on at McKeesport High School (Kemon Spell's school)

    Perhaps I should refine my thoughts a bit. When I spoke of Short's reaction being 'logical' I stated that his reaction was "logical to me." Of course it is a desire based on strong emotions. That's the 'logical' part, to me. Strong emotions ofttimes lead one to make bad choices. That's a...

    Strange goings-on at McKeesport High School (Kemon Spell's school)

    That's a fair question, I suppose. But I must ask, why do you care how often Mr. Short appears in McKeesport? Your antipathy toward Mr. Short does not make sense unless there is something else at play. His daughter was killed by someone. He and his family are crime victims. His desire to...

    Excited to have Rocco Becht leading us

    Hope he's more like the OP vid and less like this one.

    OT: HFD

    36 years since I lost my dad to cancer. Now I'm the one with cancer. My son is acutely aware of the gravity of the situation. Fathers and sons know things about each other. Remind everyone always: 'father' is a verb. It is something that you do, not something that you just are. My dad was...

    OT: Your favorite retro pinball or video arcade games?

    The wife and I spent untold hours at Zeno's playing Radar Scope back in 1980 or so. Loved that game.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    I don't think so. I really think that the rich will get very much richer, and the poor will become very much poorer. There will still be 100+ football programs that offer free education, room, board, training, etc. as has been the case. But players who develop while in those programs will be...

    Awful awful story involving former Penn State Football player and his wife

    Too gentile for circumstances like this. Pulled apart by horses perhaps.
