It’s pitiful that Adam Rippon is considered a “Star” and invited onto the show... Just because he’s gay. Never accomplished anything. Should celebrate the gold medalists not people who don’t medal (and no the team bronze doesn’t really count for him).

Representing the US in the Olympics isn't accomplishing anything? He's probably a bigger "star" than a cornerback for a bad football team.

Try not to sound like such a dumb bigot.

I guess it comes down to how "star" is defined: accomplishment or recognition by the public.

this is very true

It's easy to forget on a message board where we all have equal footing. If you were to talk to these people in real life, one look at them and hearing their voice it's like, "ohhhh ok this person is actually semi-retarded...carry on".

I don't understand complaining about Rippon.  He was a big story and US face of the recent Olympics.  This is a athletes edition of Dancing with the Stars.  He's an athlete.  

I'm not a fan of Tonya Harding being allowed on the show though.  I'm not against her making a living but she shouldn't be allowed to be in contests featuring Athletes.  She wants to write a book, fine.  Make a movie, fine.  Compete with people who didn't resort to violence off the field is just wrong.  She should never be grouped with fellow athletes for anything again.

      Canes vs Blues 5pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume. The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D. Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year. Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed?  Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal.  If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay. So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able. Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.

      BYE Week poll: Do you think Morgan and Canales are headed in the right direction?

      By countryboi · Posted

      Dan is doing a fine job, however, I'm not sold on Canales. I think he needs to give up play-calling duties, but I also realize that this wasn't an easy fix.
