[Anti-Polar Bear]

Polar Bear: Mostly non-affectionate nickname for Ted Thompson. Initiated by Tank (aka Anti-Polar Bear) as a derogatory reference to the man who signed Matt O'Dwyer to a contract instead of Marco Rivera. If comparing those two players directly and reading the insinuation that Thompson preferred O'Dwyer to Rivera as a player makes your mind melt, then you understand what Polar Bear usage is all about. Brave members of the board have tried to take back the name and give it a more positive usage.

lol. Funny but not 100% accurate.

There's nothing derogatory about "Polar Bear." Polar bears are majestic and potent creatures, so to call a "queen" a polar bear, in my humble stoic opinion, is making the ultimate compliment.
