funniest thing in the world is when some guy who played way past his prime retires and then a week or two later one of his former teams will make an announcement that he's interning for their front office but they can't call him an intern because he's 30-something years old and has the hips and ankles of someone in their eighties and probably won a cup or whatever so they call him the "special assistant to the gm" and you just KNOW its because these guys retired and realized that actually they have no marketable skills outside of hockey, their wives DO NOT want them in the house and their little neurotic micromanaged daily schedule is no longer available to them so they're like well i do know hockey!! there's jobs there. and like obviously you cannot let that guy just go in and start making structural or financial changes to your org so you're like well of course buddy! you can help the gm make dinner. and he's over there with his safety knife and his steppy stool and his ten ill-fitting suits in the reserved management box like look mom! i have a career!

Could Have, by Wislawa Szymborska

"We've entered another realm here, one that's far larger, and doesn't operate on the dead currency of winning and losing. Unless you let those limits go, you're an astronaut who brought your wallet." - Jon Bois, The History of the Seattle Mariners

if you are not still willing to believe hard enough to get your heart broken again turn your tv off and find out the score in the morning. you can walk away and know peace. you dont have to be here. you dont have to live like this every year if you cant bear it, its okay. you can make different choices.

if you're ready to be hurt again and hope like hell for a miracle, hold my hand and lets do this stupid thing. once more into the valley of death, motherfuckers

we always want to be a team that has commitment and will and sacrifice and, you know, comes together as a family.
