I had a nice random thought, but I forgot it.

Some jackass driver on the highway threw something at my car Tuesday morning. The guy initially almost ran me off the road by moving from the left lane into the right exactly as I was merging onto the road. I flipped him off, which somehow warrants pulling up along side me and throwing something. I tried to get his plate, but he staying behind me the rest of the way (we don't have front plates in NC). Fortunately I only have a small nick on my roof, but it could have been much worse as he missed my windshield by less than a foot. Dude was driving an escalade, so I really wanted to get that plate number. Even if he was a drug dealer, he had plenty of money for me.

So he will be traded soon...

This reminds me of one of my favorite games back in the days of IM. I would put up a fake away message complaining about something that someone did. The game was to sit back and wait to see who thought it was about them.

Two separate heart attacks on the same day? That's crazy

What you're seeing is gradual. Look at your plot. Granted it's early in the season, but the dropoff this year continues a linear trend that has been going on over the entire course of the years you selected. They had the slight boost in 12-13, but the line before and after that year is essentially parallel. This is not some new thing this year, it has been happening for a while now.

Their line makes perfect sense though and I have no problem with it. Ekblad still has a lot of growing to do though. I do expect big things from him, but it's a crazy league and you never know what's going to happen. The last teenage defenseman to win the Calder comes to mind immediately.

The thing that really gets me about that division is that over the last two years, every single team has made the playoffs. And that includes the impossible to explain Avs division title. Fortunately for you guys, that's at least one team that probably won't sniff the playoffs again anytime soon.

Seems like perfect information for the around the NHL thread. I bet there would be an interesting conversation around that.

Just so you know, the comment about becoming cynical had absolutely nothing to do with you. Buffalo fans are a very rare breed. We've all put up with a lifetime of heartbreaking loses and most tend to expect even more. You'll see it if you are able to stick around long-term.

My wife pointed out one of her coworkers yesterday. The guy has twin daughters that are about a year and a half. One of them wears glasses, which got me wondering. How exactly do they evaluate children that young for glasses? I can see how you can identify there is a problem, but how do you know whether or not the glasses work appropriately when the child can't communicate? "Which is better, #1 or #2... #1... or #2." I don't even want to know how that goes with a toddler.

Ok Paul Harvey. :lol: I'm actually surprised that there are question marks around what happened to Zemgus. Just because the team isn't being up front with the details doesn't make it less obvious where he was hurt.

The tone of that one at least fits. I don't have the slightest clue what they were going for with this slow depressing one in Spectre. I would have thought I walked into some sappy romance movie or something.

I was getting into an elevator and I held the door for a woman. As she got in, she said "thank you", but the other woman already inside said "you're welcome". She was stealing credit. What's up with that?

That door frame picture... what weight room are they in that would have flags of all the NFL teams?

:D It's almost too easy. The thing's a circle already.

I'll be very curious to see our injury report this week. We need everyone we can get. And no matter what complaints we've had about how this season has gone so far, all is forgiven if they can walk away with a win on monday.

So when are you buying him skates?

That story was all over facebook this weekend. I'd love to know how it got bumped back up. It just goes to show you how little attention we pay to that part of the world.

He's the legislature majority leader? I would have figured that it would take far more years of experience to get to that level.

Look at the date on that report... :bag:

Johnson was about to pummel Marchand but the linesman got in between them.

I know they have a set game limit, but in my mind, a teenager like Ekblad, even with that Calder under his belt, is still a prospect.

We had a brief discussion in here about the best Bond theme. Well, after seeing Spectre this weekend, I have a clear answer for what the worst Bond theme was. And I hope I didn't need a spoiler tag for that one.

You make the fatal flaw of assuming someone would even want to watch Titans/Jaguars at all.
