I honestly found a repeatable difference in the after-effects of even moderate doses Genny Cream vs the other beers I was drinking at the time. I was drinking craft beer, however, so it's possible that other beer that comes in 30-packs would have the same effect, but I didn't really drink those regularly. I seem to remember it giving an out-sized headache compared to other beers too, but Yuenling and Sam Adams Boston Lager do the same thing to me. 2-3 of those and I'd be hurting the next morning, where other beers I could drink more and be fine. This is the end of my Ted talk.

7-4 is only like 0.8 points above safe playoff pace, so I'm not surprised they didn't gain any ground. Now, if they'd have gone 11-0, we'd be talking. Or 9-2 and then 7-2 over 20 games. The Sabres are very much in "need to be one of the the best teams in hockey for the rest of the season" territory with the start they got. Until the end of the season, watching the other teams doesn't really matter much. There are plenty of teams hovering around the same place, just take care of your own games and the standings will come. The Sabres are not taking care of their games.

I get you, I really do, but the Bills and Chiefs aren't nearly as far apart as the Lost-in-the-woods Bills and probably the best NFL team in recent history. Even then, the Bills won 3 games against Brady. Even as it is, the Bills have been down to a play either way with the Chiefs in two of the three recent playoff games. That's strongly into a lucky bounce changes everything territory.

Come now, the Bills would go at least 3 for 10 just on luck.

This occurred to me too. "Look how good they finished the season!" "If not for those injuries on D!" "The kicker had a bad day!". All true, but all cover up that I don't think any of us are confident that in a close game, McDermot is going to out-coach the opposition, or even be an average coach.

I'm confused, doesn't Lou always take over coaching in this scenario?

Huh, currently both QBs in the Texans/Ravens are leading their teams in teams in rushing too. Not big numbers, but just weird to see.

(My first LAN parties were before we had cat5, 10base-2 was a nightmare)

No one is arguing it didn't happen. The only argument is whether it's a nefarious plot against the Lord and Savior, or a couple of editing peons saying, "let's cut this 8 seconds of not answering the question". The viewer's preconceptions of the world will determine which option rings true to them (and how much it matters).

Travel issues? Any creepers know where these guys live?

JJ, JJ Peterka; coincidence? I think not.

That's dynamite.

All the winners get hours of coverage over the next week. Let the losing fans sulk for a day and then hear nothing until August.

Yeah, I'd really rather we drafted a QB that's at least 504 feet, that extra inch or two means a lot at QB.

Oh! I didn't look at that, just Cowboys playoff games. Good catch!

I so want this to be true, but I don't think it is. I looks like the Cowboys won there in 2010 (Eagles), 2015 (Lions), and 2019 (Seahawks), and the Packers won in 2017 and 2024. The Cowboys did lose to the Packers in 2015, but it was in GB.

Yep, unless they had a travel ban in place for heat.

In some areas, running a car unattended is a fine... just saying. https://law.justia.com/codes/new-york/2022/vat/title-7/article-33/1210/ Also, car is almost surely not within the legal noise limit. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-signs-legislation-cracking-down-noisy-illegal-mufflers-and-exhaust-systems Man, 26CornerBlitz (I think) used to write some novels for GDTs back in the day.

Not a meme, per se, but I had this laying around from earlier in the "wandering in the desert" Sabres generation. Hand-modified by yours truly, although doesn't appear that it needs to be retired yet.

Enigmatic. Mercurial.

Neither, I got things to do; but this isn't different than normal.

The full Steve Bernier in effect.

To be fair, waiving a guy at the beginning of the season vs. 1/3 of the way through where he only made the line-up for 3 games on a bad team is different.
