  1. The shot he took off lateral side, likely broke his fibula. Hopefully not his heel bone (calcaneus), but puck looked higher up, lateral mallelous of fibula more likely. It is non weight bearing, and can be pinned easily enough. Means he is out for season but recovery usually goes well.

    great call Icehouse, someone who actually knows anatomy with a good comment. A broken fibula/malleolus would be the best possible outcome, far easier to heal than the calcaneus. The critical factors are 1) the fracture pattern (i.e., oblique vs. comminuted) and 2) degree of soft tissue injury

  2. TMGM is exactly right. Unfortunately this was exactly the type of contract (back diving into retirement years) teams had to offer a decent UFA under the old CBA but with the rule change under the new CBA they're punished for those deals if they don't buy the player out now. Buffalo has no choice but to buy him out; otherwise, if they do hit several home runs with their many high draft picks they will be burning cap space with a retired player and may lose young talent they were developing when they pass their entry level deal

  3. I'm pretty confident most people reading the conversation will accept the bold for the complete BS that it is.

     

    Of course we'd have a great time getting a beer. and we should! I don't think you're an evil guardian of the underworld at all. I think you are subconsciously (as I initially noted) affect by racial biases, as almost all American's are. I feel it is constructive to point out those instances.

     

    Seriously, if I'm ever in ATL or you make it to the Finger Lakes, we should do beers.

     

    And Good Luck Tomorrow!

     

    thank you, the interview went great - and I'm glad you're receptive to meeting up for beers. I would like to circle back on your earlier comments upthread when I have a few more minutes.

     

    Oh the irony if a black guy gets hired.

     

    that is uncalled for - is there any need to continue with the race baiting ?

  4. Bull. Then why use it at all. You knew exactly what you were doing and why. The fact that you responded so strongly confirms my belief.

     

    :thumbsup:

     

    I am calling BS on both of you. SwampD, you must be a really crappy tarot card reader, because you think you know my intentions. The fact that you are way overly sensitive about my use of Obama's 3 initials just confirms to me that I hit an unintended nerve. I stated clearly and honestly that I typed BHO out of time saving shorthand. I will be sure to never ever make that cardinal sin here ever again, for fear of offending the PC police.

     

    President Obama - there, do you feel better? or is it OK if I write BO, or would that be offensive because it surely means I have diminished Barack Obama to Body Odor?

     

    Glass Case of Emotion - since when is stating a vast difference in my opinions of Obama & Carson is that akin to "I'm not racist, I have a black friend"??? Again, you don't know me from Adam but you think you do based upon your gross misperception of me. I was making a very candid comparison between a President whom I don't respect and a potential candidate who I do. They both happen to be black. I could care less. I think Carson would make an excellent candidate.

     

    Give it a rest. You are both way over the top on this one. If we met and had a beer you would see I'm not evil and I don't have 3 heads. I am done with this crapfest now, as I have a 9am job interview to get ready for.

  5. It's not minutia, it gets to the core of a very significant subconscious racial bias against this particular man.

     

    Ah, the old canard - the race card. Nice try. My distaste and disapproval for and of Obama has nothing to do with race and everything to do with his judgment, leadership, competence, performance, and ideology, among others. I could care less what color he happens to be, but since I know you don't know me or what I stand for, I don't expect you to believe me. But I will tell you, unequivocally, that you have no right throwing the race card at me based on my prior use of his middle name or initial on this board. I, for one, would love to see Ben Carson as our next President, so may I ask what does that make me by your twisted logic?

     

    I care deeply about this country and would be inspired by a strong leader with character and competence like Dr. Ben Carson.

  6. OK as you're keeping score, I'll leave it as Obama, it makes no difference to me. BHO happens to be the legal shorthand for his name, and frankly it is quicker and easier to write. But since it gets your panties in a wad and supposedly diminishes "every else" I have to say, I could care less. If you don't like the message or my opinion, try to distract by calling attention to a middle initial.....I get it, a surefire way to change the dialogue.

     

    and I "never don't mention it" is factually incorrect and an over exaggeration.

  7. You never don't mention it, and it diminishes every else you have to say.
