Who gives a crap. In the famous words of happy Gilmore.

Gold Jacket, Green Jacket who gives a poop.

Don't like don't watch. Like it, watch it. Topic over move on

Not sure I can agree with your blanket statement, I think the music is trash regardless of what colour the performers are.

Guess I should tell my Goan daughter in law and my two mixed racial grandchildren that I’m a fragile old white guy because I think the music sucks.

Well that is what is being discussed. I have not watched a Super Bowl since 2007. Probably won’t ever again. Because it’s just garbage these days.

I don't like Taylor Swift nor Lamar. I do love Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and almost anything from Dap Tone records. Gary Clark Jr. can shred, too.

They miss you. I'm amazed it's still being played without you. Have a great day all!

Anytime you wanna compare 'diverse' music catalogs there champ you just let me know...

Whats everyones take on re-signing Lankinen? Whats a fair $$/term?

He's making 875K - the value he's giving this team in insane.

Significantly cap increase in the next 2-3 years means more $$ to allocate to goalie tandem. Demko is signed for one more year, but everyones gotta be weary of the injury history - move on?

I think Lank has earned a decent contract offer and could pivot to him being the #1G?

Demko can be resigned or shopped at some point, he could land a decent return - lot of teams are willing to make bad decisions to acquire a #1G despite his injury history.

Similar to what Thompson just got is what he’ll ask for.

It's impossible to please everyone and find that ONE artist who appeals to multiple demographics.

BUT here are some potentials: Metallica, Foo Fighters, Queen, Pearl jam, Green Day, Blink, ROCK. Dua Lipa, Taylor, Pink, Bad Bunny (no thanks) POP. Eminem, Jay-Z, RAP. Post Malone (2027 Dallas?), Chris Stapleton, Zac Brown Band???????

Good comparison - 5.850milX6yrs

That's a year too long and 850K too much IMO but overall - fair.

I'd like to see 4.5X4 or 5X5 - not sure I wanna go much higher than that.

Its Lanks 5th pro season BUT he's never had this pace of workload. Zero Injury history. Is about to turn 30 in April. Has Consistently put up good numbers, despite being on terrible teams.

No longer than 4 years. 4 to 5. I'm sure if you offer him 18 mill he won't say no at 30 years old

Offer him $4milX3 years, happy to go higher in AAV but 3 years maximum term

Take the race garbage elsewhere. We get it, you're one of the enlightened few. Congrats.

As I mentioned, understanding his political messages and statements will require some time. You could practically write a book about last night's performance. Indeed, last night wasn't tailored for a specific audience, but as a BIPOC individual, the message was loud and clear.
- Bakwas

I was at a party. I've never really listened to Lamar, didn't really get a chance to last night either.

The messages he sent last night didn't reach me, although I've read about them since. The music itself didn't lend itself to reaching the broader audience IMO. I'll probably re-watch the SB at some point in the near future like I usually do when I watch it at a party.

I'll probably have a more properly formed opinion about it then.

My daughter's, who are mixed racially, think that some in here are way to sensitive, when it comes to these types of issues. If someone thinks something sucks, then by all means, have your say.
I will say, my daughter's get a good laugh at some of the comments in regards to these issues.

Bonus of JTM traded abs Hughes not playing at the 4 nations tournament is that I don’t have to cheer for the USA at all.

Absolutely agree, have your say, Bakwas can have his say, and he did when he posted last night with a detailed interpretation of Lamar’s lyrics. When he posts about white fragility because people express they don’t like rap, then he is accusing of racial prejudice which isn’t true and now others get to have their say.

If EP can play like he did vs Toronto 80%+ of a season, he'll be worth every penny. If he can't this will be a big mistake.

You have 51 posts already just this thread. There are (prior to this) 177 posts in the thread. You've posted basically 29% of all posts so far. Don't you find that a bit much?

People aren't asking you to leave, just to tone it down man.
- NewYorkNuck

29 % is nothing for NH. I have seen him over 50%. Just like his favorite player EP40 his numbers are down by half also.

It was his best game in sometime.
