We have three great examples of absolute insanity. But which one is the the most divorced from reality? Which deserves its own entry on www.fstdt.com? Which sums up just how big of an idiot that this clown really is?
Shadow Flyer: So Paul, what are you going to do now that Leighton is healthy? Are you going to carry three goalies or is someone else getting moved out?
Homer: Who the heck knows?
Shadow Flyer: Well, obviously carrying three goalies isn't the ideal situation, so I'm sure you've had discussions on how best to handle the roster moving forward?
Homer: What can you do?
Shadow Flyer: So basically, you don't really have any idea how you are going to manage the roster moving forward. As the GM of the Flyers, do you not find this a bit concerning?
Homer: It is what it is.
I voted for "Who the heck knows?" because, presumably, Homer would be the one who should know.
I went for "who the heck knows", but another one used to answer almost any question good or bad about a player, special teams, winning or losing streak is: "I've said it before, I like our team".

This was my rationale as well. It is what it is and what can you do are two phrases that can accurately sum up a situation. Who the heck knows doesn't quite fit that criteria IMO.
Voted for "Who the hecks knows?" because it's absolutely cluelessness mixed with insanity and a pinch of desperation.
"What can you do?" comes in second because it only has the first 2 elements but lacks the desperation.
"It is what it is." is not in the same league as every coach of every sports team that has ever played has used the phrase at least once (or 10 million times like Bill Belichick; PS: Just realized that his name contains "chick" , never got that before).
I went other. He had this one quote when they were trying to lure Forsberg back over, and it was something like "You would want to bring more guns to the OK corral" or something.
"What can you do?" because the original is always the best. It was also hilarious seeing him say that after the Jones debacle.
*Jones inexplicably gets through waivers and we think we're good...then Homer inexplicably re-calls him and we're stuck with half his cap hit as he's claimed*
, never got that before).
