Jon's other site:
Screen Jam
TV and more ...
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with

Talk about creating a show about nothing:

February 5: NHL Has a Hunch Union Will Bend
February 8: Union Says NHL Players' Solidarity Intact
February 9: NHL Is Taking a Final Shot

February 11: NHL Season Is Closer to Point of No Return
February 12: Deadline No Help to NHL Stalemate
February 13: Insider Talks Yield Little for NHL
February 14: A Late Bid to Break the Ice
February 15: NHL Talks Appear Frozen
February 16: NHL Season on Brink
February 16: Game Off! NHL Cancels Season
That's a sad story. My condolences to the hockey community. Hooray for Spring Training ... you can't take playing ball for granted these days.
