On this hour of NPR we discuss with historian BlueAdams alternative ways to pronounce the name of the country Niger

Biz is also doubling down on his statements. Saying he's heard this from "tons of players" lol specifically he said he heard it from Mike Commodore, Matt Commodore, Mike Pommodoro, Michael Commodore, Mike Commodore in a wig, Mike Commodore with a mustache, and others.

Can't wait for the @The 91 of Ryans and @kipwinger offseason drunk posting to end.

Ever heard of gamer gate? First it was the blacks Then the jews Now its gamers

he is probably bandwagoning the queefs, hence the salt

Ha, I knew you were a Coltsfaq

Holland wasnt a bad drafter. He was always pulling Franzens, Hudlers, Nyquists, Tatars, Fils, Jarnkroks, Berggrens, and so on. But his record with high firsts and 2nds is atrocious. Hes terrible at bringing a team up, but good at maintaining one. The brain drain is also worth mentioning again. Holland was a great "Manager". When his team was great he was great. When his staff became mediocre so did he. A manager is the sum of his parts. Yzerman seems to defy this notion. Because Yzerman seems to be a man with true vision. Hes not reacting to 50 opinions. Hes directing 50 opinions. We are truly beyond lucky to have this man. When he steps aside and gets promoted to president of illitch sports its going to be an interesting new challenge to see who takes over. Horcoff? Draper? Lidstrom? Kronwall? I lowkey think Horcoff or Kronwall are the best choices. Draper has always been kinda a dumb f*** IMO. Lidstrom is super aloof. Horcoff on the other hand seems to be a verbeek clone. And kronner is supposedly an insane workaholic. All of Seider, Eddog, Wallinder, Johansson, and so on are going to write in their bios one day that Kronwall made them the players they are.

We all (I'm guilty) should realize that good GM's and scouts know more than us. Holland is not a good drafting GM. Zadina fell for a reason. He was ranked 3rd, each player 3-5 taken has been better, these teams knew not to take him as he fell. Holland just thought he was getting a gift handed to him, knowing damn well the team needed a D at that spot. Players fall for a reason. Patrick, Wright and even Seth Jones to a certain extent for example. In their draft year they were all talked about being the concensus choice at #1. Holland just isn't that smart. His drafting, trades, and UFA signings set this team back a decade.
