I can read English as mangled as the losing cars in a demolition derby.

Also, since you people seem so obsessed about it vs they when referring to a team, the team is always plural because you are referring to all players, not one. The Vikings vs a Viking. Or in the case of our Wild, its the singular that needs attention. A member of The Wild vs The Wild.

Just my two cents. And i am only tossing them in here because I AM VERY BORED THIS AFTERNOON. For ****s sake I'm gonna watch SOCCER. That should tell you something. I can barely tolerate soccer much more than I tolerate basketball.

Sure it's plurar if you refer it to the players but when you think of it as a unit/organization it's singular. Atleast that's how I see it.

Listen to Calgary radio I know I'm weird for somebody who is supposed to be hockey insider he has not watched the wild play at all lately not his job but still not very good facts. But I do give him credit for knowing about Nino Granlund and coyle. He also said Jason pominville doesn't seem like a scorer.

My brain hurts.

Hey guys, just had a fantasy hockey question. I have Backstrom in my pool and I've noticed Harding has been getting most of the starts, has Harding taken over the number 1 job?

It might be a problem of the Wild's name. It doesn't really have a plural form so it often sounds singular.

Yes, this seems to be the case, at least for the near future.

Aaaand there's when I stopped taking you seriously, good job.

Anyway, Calgary Flames.

It's ok I stopped taking you seriously when you started talking about a sport you've never played or even tried to understand, while simultaneously arguing that a football first down line is more visible than a soccer offsides line because it doesn't move, after saying that they're both not visible.

Meanwhile you completely ignored the half of the post regarding using sight to find something, meaning it's visible.

Sooooo what does this have to do with the Calgary Flames?

I've got the day off and I was bored as all hell so I watched a soccer game, complained about the total lack of offense and the offsides rule and here we are.

Ah so now you're making assumptions? That'll get you somewhere.

It isn't invisible.

I really wish you would address the part where you use sight to locate it.

I never said the line didn't exist and that you couldn't use reasoning to determine where the line is. That's what you have been trying to hammer into my apparently dense brain for the past page and a half, when I've been saying something completely different.

We're not on the same page it seems.

I'm a chick, and played varsity soccer for four years (they even wanted me as an 8th grader to play up but my parents wouldn't allow it LOL, I played right wing/forward) but I am staying out of this conversation. :laugh:

Go Wild!
