Yeah, it's embarrassing, but Alan Eagleson, decades ago, raised the bar of NHLPA misconduct so high that Saskin's follies hardly rank...

I also expected this to be an opera thread, even though "Lulu" on PBS strikes one as improbable...

Al Cohn Quintet (originally on Coral), with Bob Brookmeyer.

Another cold snap (maybe the last?...). Barely over zero right now, probably -15 or more tonight, no warmup until Friday. There are Weather Service "wind chill" and "blowing snow" advisories.

Wow....I wonder how/if this will affect his current status. He could have possibly been one of the highest paid free agents out there, but this could change things for him. I dunno, it probably wouldn't faze the Bengals, to name just one club...

Include me in the "uninspired choice" camp. Not only has Norv never worked out in the past, he hasn't shown any particular leadership. Best suited for a coordinator/asst coach position IMO. That said, I haven't kept in touch enough to suggest a specific alternative. The Chargers probably should have axed Marty earlier, and promoted one of his (since departed) coordinators.

What Larry said. I haven't been reading r.m.c.r. for quite some time (oddly, I thought the ng rapidly went downhill as soon as Deacon appeared on the scene, though the "Studer troll" and other weirdos deserve credit), but I'm sure that TD (no relation, I assure you ) has been hoisted by innumerable of his own petards.
