There's going to have to be some negotiations between the league and the PA over this. The whole thing is uncharted territory for them. I suppose there's potential for some ugliness with any of the leagues, but I'd imagine both sides will want to do whatever they can to get things back up and running once that time comes. Any type of fight after all of this ends would be the ultimate in bad PR.

I spend most of my time trying to stop my wife from going crazy. So it’s just like any other day.

I was wondering how specific they would try to get. So it’s basically just a “we’re serious” message to some of the more stubborn people out there.

Being an outsider I don’t ever get to see this stuff, so I’ll have to take people’s word for it. There’s still plenty of time to correct that one.

It’s on every news broadcast. So that story is legit

Everyone is going to lose money thanks to this. The owners, just like every other person out there, don't want to lose money. Does this sort of reaction from them really surprise anyone?

So are you suggesting that the site at that link didn't provide all of the information? That's how all news sites work, picking and choosing and then slapping an attention grabbing headline on top. I didn't read it, don't have the time right now, but I'd suspect that the actual article linked there does get into that stuff.

No one in this country cared until the NBA shut down. People want their sports, so it's far from just a bunch of rich folks trying to make their money.

It's all from this board. Me personally, I've never run into the issue you mentioned, but I've seen enough stories to believe that the phones are definitely doing that.

Compared to most of the people up there at those press conferences each day, yeah, 54 is a young adult. They may want to consider finding someone younger to throw up there. I typically hate all the celebrity worship, but so many of these kids are so dumb that we may actually need to get a Kardashian up there with them. That's the only thing they listen to these days. Someone please feel free to replace that with a more relevant name. I have no idea what they are watching now.

All I get now are banner ads for surgical masks. I'd much rather deal with the targeted ads right now instead of those.

We've had this same exact response around here to every single college free agent signing since the Darcy days. It gets old. Organizations have to make these kind of signings too. Judging every single move through the same exact lens, it's pointless.

People getting a random sickness during the winter? It's almost certainly a conspiracy!

I'm actually surprised how well people have responded around here as a whole. Usually I can hear traffic sounds off in the distance, but that's completely gone. Yeah, that's a completely unscientific look at it, but that tells me that people as a whole really are staying in. The one thing that must be rough though is that one family just moved into the neighborhood today. So they have the movers, guys who they probably don't know a thing about, unloading the truck and probably sweating all over everything. You have to move when you have to move, but the timing is definitely not ideal for them.

The college free agents are still getting a handle on their exact situations right now, with their season unexpectedly coming to an end. There's been maybe a handful of these signings so far. And this one is what most of those typically are, crap shoot long term projects with no fanfare. Most of them will be just what you described, mediocre. But that doesn't mean the teams shouldn't be making them, especially when they have 6 open roster spots like Buffalo did prior to this signing. Signing a guy like this is not some sign that the GM is clueless. There is absolutely nothing else they can do right now.

They can think that all they want as long they don't think they're now immune and can do whatever the hell they want.

Anyone who recently had the flu is now going to think it was this instead. It's always interesting to see the paths speculation follows during a large scale news story.

The first annual Sabrespace skype call.

You don't need to multiply it.? But yeah, I'd imagine they'll just rank it by points per game.

That’s putting it mildly. That garbage has absolutely no place here. I’m amazed the post is still here.

He looks like a heavier version of a guy I used to play hockey with. The look is damn near identical.

I know how I'm spending my time during the pseudo-quarantine.

Wow, Bruce Willis has really let himself go. Oddly enough, I think I'd actually watch the next Die Hard movie if that guy was in it.

What, no Star Wars paraphrasing? Hurt I am.

And let's face it, we have a good number of people around here who already question the practice of vaccination. Can you imagine their reaction if one gets fast tracked without the normal regulation? I suppose there's always going to be the people who will find conspiracy in anything (just read this thread), so that will just be one more thing that some jump on. Internet memes, where spelling goes to die.
