If not then why was that untalented wailer howling a funeral dirge when she butchered the US anthem at Gulfstream Park on Pegasus Day.

Phil has a question:
When will CDI realize that their pissing contest with Baffert is hurting their own crown jewel and the thoroughbred industry as a whole.
Do you think that any of the cheese sandwich eating corporate bottom line bean counters at CDI give the slightest piece of shit about thoroughbred racing.
Happy endings are bullshit. There are only happy pauses.

Whatever happened to the harassment allegations that Erik Karlsson’s wife laid against Mike Hoffman’s girlfriend when both players were with the Senators.
Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.

ESPN – Evander Kane scores in debut, helps Edmonton Oilers ‘keep our foot on the gas’ in 7-2 victory
Phil has a question:
How many of the Kane bashing fans and media are secretly hoping for an Oilers – Sharks playoff match-up this year.
How many of the NHL marketing gurus are secretly hoping for an Oilers – Sharks playoff match-up this year.
Is Gary Bettman secretly hoping for an Oilers – Sharks playoff match-up this year or does he still have his head buried to his ass in the Arizona desert sand.
How can a fucking incompetent like Gary Bettman still keep his position when the NFL, NBA, MLB and even MLS are out marketing hockey in North America.
They say some of my stars drink whiskey. But I have found that the ones who drink milkshakes don’t win many ball games.

Remember what Charles Barkley said:
These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me…they definitely won’t make you handsome like me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it.
Just because you watch Grey’s Anatomy doesn’t mean you can do the operation.
See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It’s not church. It’s not serious.

ESPN – Gomez – ‘He’s my Michael Jordan’ — How Tom Brady became the NFL’s first true global icon
What made him the GOAT was a trait that is just as unattainable as Patrick Mahomes’s arm or Josh Allen’s size: His ability to process time and space in an instant and react accordingly. That may sound like a skill anyone can develop through hard work and practice, but it isn’t. You could spend the next decade of your life working on your jump shot and you’d never become Steph Curry. And you’ll never become Wayne Gretzky no matter how much time you spend—ummm … I don’t really know how hockey works, to be honest with you.
…
An earlier version of this piece misspelled Wayne Gretzky’s last name.
