Since I have never, and will never, choke a woman and try to abduct her, I can safely throw stones from my high horse.

Basically. It's common for those who give a pass to the low brow to criticize good moral and team standards as high horse-ry sorcery.

And actually, I find it rather trite these days. The post modern cynic is common. It is being replaced by new movements, like performatism, but liberal arts cultural lag being what it is -- meh. It isn't even interesting -- like newer nihilism.

I've had to sit through some awful conversations in academia that actually started with an unsupported conjecture from a text, and then "We're post modern enough to look at this claim critically... was he really happy? Or is this an insanity ruse? Or was this X, Y, and Z (concepts that weren't even part of that cultural mind of the time)" (paraphrasing) -- ignoring the last ironclad statements near the end that explicitly go on about the mindset of the person being discussed. I actually had to ask the person if they read the work.

It is skepticism that ends without any real meat to it. A bit of a pet peeve of mine.

Kane wore his welcome out with one club & is about to do it again with another club only a year in. Fair or not he's bad for business at this point. He's a liability that isn't worth taking on for other teams.

So Kane was just arrested in Buffalo for trepassing in a bar or something.

The guys is just not worth it.

This is related to the same incident we were discussing last month where he choked and harassed multiple women.

Even if the guy is an off the ice nightmare, at that price it's worth the gamble. Heck, I'd even throw in VdV and the RFA rights to Manning to sweeten the offer.:sarcasm::naughty:

I'd rather have Mac play 30 mins a night then watch Kane on the Flyers. He would be an absolutely disgrace to that crest. Ed Snider would roll over in his grave.

Must not have been any evidence to support the choking allegation or the charges would be a lot different.

Wow...you guys are real heroes here. No pictures, she must be lying. Except for the fact that this ******* is in some **** every year. If it was so easy to frame, why doesn't every player in the NHL get framed every offseason? It's because he's a POS that is doing something. Just slimy enough to get away with it. And people wonder why women are afraid of coming forward.

But hey Kane's scores goals. Sports team has to go #1 over being a decent human being.

You forget Billy Tippets? Or Keven Stevens? Or even Steve Downie? Snider was alive for all of those, so.... Yeah, we have taken on our share of troubled players.

:laugh: with as many troubled flyers as we have had over the years? Kane would be the one to disgrace the crest? I think we wouldn't think to much of it when he puts up 25-35 goals a year on giroux's wing

I'd rather see Kane play for the Pens and win a back-to-back Stanley Cup before he wears the O&B.

You are crazy, that is all. Innocent until proven guilty. And I'm assuming since he isn't in jail, he is innocent? Or did I miss the court appearence? Anyway, if the judges and such didn't deem him guilty, then that's good enough for me, in this instance.

So, you have the same feelings towards Cousins then?

It doesn't matter if he already plays for the Flyers or not if this is your point.

I am no judge by any means but I love this sport too much to see it represented by guys with suspect behaviour off the ice.

The game is fast, mean and rough but also honest.

We will probably never know. If Cousins did it, yes I do.

But in Kanes case it has become a regularity. At some point you gotta ask yourself where the role model function is already?

You're not making much sense, so because his name has popped up multiple times and never found guilty you wouldn't want him? You mean to tell me you wouldn't want patrick Kane in this team either? His name has been up just as many times as Evander if not more
