Yeah, but ignorance isn't an excuse, especially when he was called out on it. He could have done one of those fact checks that he seemed so enamoured by and changed his posts based upon what he learned....

So much (frank)ery going on in road cycling..

Dudes holding onto a car going up a hill, i dont think thats allowed

That'd be cool if it was, or if contact was allowed. Why not, cycling is as corrupt as boxing and baseball.

They should have skateboarding in the olympics, half-pipe, street, and downhill longboarding. What a (frank)ing joke.

All I care about it is the Dutch Women's Field Hockey Team, they're my favourite hockey team.

cycling is one of the toughest sports around though...
without doping it' def not healthy to have the intensity levels needed (a regular stage 150-280kms a day is jut too much)

Man the rowing course is brutal. It's white capping...one of the boats already capsized. I've seen several boats go sideways as well.

Oh I know, I'm into cycling myself, I love it. Bill Burr said it best when he said people complained about Armstrong, but the next twenty guys all test positive too...all the competitive sports are (frank)ed. Remote control model car racing and robots fighting is the only thing with any integrity.

Seriously, those races between high powered remote control cars are absolutely thrilling and mesmerizing.

Skateboarding is in the 2020 olympics..

Cycling is very shady... You just know half of those guys are juiced.

What!!

(frank) i missed it waiting for a cycling crash!

If you capsize you dont only lose, you also get to take home a multitude of diseases!

I've seen them a few times. Crazy how fast they can get them and how good those guys controlling it are.

I've only seen clips, but the new drone racing think is pretty ridiculous. Flying through hoops and stuffs. Wacky stuff.

It actually looks like a ton of fun.

Oh yeah, skating is in? Amazing.

Yeah they can control those cars almost perfectly, the margin is so thin. If I tried that it would look like the car was wasted, I'd drive off the course and do a nineteen point turn trying to get back, then probably just flip over

I haven't seen drone racing, I bet that's fun. That'd be fun to do.

- AdamFrench

That's the spirit of the olympics right there.

The ping pong blows my mind away. I play ping pong semi-regularly, and I suck. Like, David Steckel playing hockey suck. Bernier level suckage. I watch those guys play and it bears no resemblance at all to what I'm doing.

Foosball is where it's at.

Sosh, Hyman and Brown will not get spots before Marner.

The Leafs' future is Marner.

They aren't going to retard his development just so that a guy like Hyman can get 14 goals in the NHL this year.

Good morning, my Leafy friends.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yes. The Leafs future is Marner.

The Leafs future isn't now. Steps need to be taken. They always mention the process. All this nonsense that Marner HAS to be in the NHL this year to fulfill his potential just doesn't ring true to me.

I know you know hockey so I'm sure you realize there's a poop ton more than scoring goals needed to be a successful team. If we're only playing guys who'll score more than 14 goals a year, we'll have no D and about 5 forwards. Yay

- AdamFrench

Yeah that's fun, I suck at that too. That should be in the olympics. They should have bar room games olympics. Foosball, air hockey, shuffleboard.

I'd rather have Marner in the pressbox every night with the Leafs than go back to junior.

I'm headed your way tomorrow!

Marner isn't a defensively liability at all so he's not all about scoring goals either.

- Atomic Wedgie

Oh nice. Where abouts you headed? Plans to visit anywhere?

I've yet to see a single plausable explanation of how this can happen.

He won't go to Robidas Island.

Too late to buy him out.

He won't agree to termination of contract.

He won't be claimed on waivers.

It would cost too much to trade him.

Sending him to the AHL is a bad cap move.

What else is there?

Play him until he gets injured. It won't take long.
- Atomic Wedgie

Robidas Island in this case may be Lou tellling him to enjoy the ECHL. You really think Lupul would report there? Granted, this only works if they have the cap space.

They won't do that. That's not professional and sets a precedence for other players who might sign there in the future
