  1. We'll get there! Because N years ago it was "great O and bend-don't-break D". Things move in swings. Everyone will be trying to load on D now, and then some team with a great O will win a few and it'll swing back.
  2. Any chance they'll throw on that video from the Darien Lake theater where you're on a rollercoaster and rapids and stuff? If so, I'm in for a Sabres game. Except I can't be bothered to actually watch the game, not worth it.
  3. It's just the next edition in a long series of low points for the Sabres. I look forward see what the next low point entails; trading away the few players that show promise? A heroic run to 10th in the EC that'll "give the team some momentum going into 2025-26"? Multiple players players demanding trades? We'll see!
  4. It does. Interestingly, when I search about this a minute ago it appears that teams are struggling with them this year (around 30% compared to 55% last year), but finding a good list of succeeded vs attempted is surprisingly hard so it's hard to tell. In any case, in the longer term even if 2pt makes sense, when it's just a bit over 50% a string of a few misses and you've given away a field goal. Attempting one in the 3rd quarter wasn't a particular good idea, even more so when the Ravens' season record was apparently 1/4.
  5. There were a ton of Ravens fans yelling about this in comments somewhere. Along with Andrews getting money from the NFL, though, so you have to question how well these people perceive reality.
  6. It does happen occasionally. The Rangers, however, are the only team that registered 0 shots in a game, on Oct 12 1958. They lost 3-0 to the Red Wings.
  7. To be fair, I have no idea who is playing in the NFC, but would be able to name Goff as QB of the Lions. And he's not nearly as highlight-worthy as Allen or Jackson.
  8. This is the math I was looking for. 122-point pace? That'll sure happen, lol. Until it doesn't, it'll always take 93-96 points, lol. Sure it doesn't look like it right now, but a couple teams get hot every year and the points end up in the same place in the end.
  9. No, you're our rando on the internet. 💙
  10. The Sabres/NHL aren't even getting YouTube highlights revenue from me this year for 90% of the games.
  11. I was asked about my accent shortly after moving from Buffalo to Binghamton, lol.
  12. Nice @Doohicksie! I did my first metric a few weeks ago. It was... an experience, lol. I'd do it again, although probably on a bit less gravel, and not having done a climby ride the night before.
  13. Come on, you have "Squabbling Sabres" sitting right there!
  14. The guy is making a career out of 1-2 year deals. Definitely good for him, I'm glad to see him moderately successful.
  15. Not really, bicycles, ebikes, and motorcycles are normal road users and can use the entire lane if they need to.
  16. The guy that won was apparently a pro for awhile, but I'm not sure what level.
  17. Cyclocross is freaking hard. Not my video, but somewhere in it you'll see me get lapped. EDIT: ~26:05, I'm in orange and navy kit.
  18. If only they could have put the stadium somewhere that was more convenient to people coming over the border. Heck, find the right place and you could have run a ferry so people didn't have to drive. If only that place existed. Sigh.
  19. I kinda agree. At a cap-hit of like $4.5M, that's something that I bet a lot of teams are carrying around with a bad contract or two. You could even trade him and retain some and I bet there'd be takers.
  20. I can't believe the state of this franchise; they can't even get PTO players to sign here! (Did I do that right?)
  21. Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series is a really good read; sci-fi distant future stuff A Half-built Garden by Ruthanna Emyrs is a good near-future sci-fi book where people work together rather than have corporations dictate tastes NK Jemisin The City We Became and The World We Make is a fun comic-book-ish horror series centered around NYC Currently reading The Ray Nayler The Mountain in the Sea, more near-future but dystopian sci-fi that I'm really digging
  22. Most people recommend to carry a tube just in case you get something that you can't plug. We had this happen on a recent gravel ride; oddly enough, it was a guy on MTB. Unfortunately, he ended up walking for awhile until one of us got back and picked him up with the car. If you get a really bad hole, you can also use a wrapper or dollar inside the tire to cover the hole and it'll hold until you get home. FWIW, my gravel bike didn't like getting set up tubeless, so I'm still running tubes there. Speaking of bikes, I might be in Ft Worth in October; my tradition for work trips is to bring my bike and ride a couple days after the trip is done. Are there some good places to ride out there?
  23. I mean, easy in hindsight but there *were* some big question marks at the time.
