Is there somewhere better to go?

Lol, no. I mostly just rove Twitter, though I don’t tweet nearly as much as I used to.

That’s an L for Columbus just based on that swap alone, unless Couturier is an accompanying piece or something.

Excuse me, what the fuck.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oof.

Good.

I'm going to say that I still don't think there was even any discussion. And of course we've seen/heard zero evidence that there was at this point.

I actually think that if this story wasn't completely invented the trade would have actually happened, similar to something that I remember reading regarding when companies are purchased. It talked about how most of the time by the time the research and legwork has been done to figure out that buying the company is a bad idea they are already so comfortable with the idea of buying the company that they just go ahead with it anyway (does this ring a bell? I can't remember where I read it).
