No DA, ever, anywhere in the US, is going to force a rape accuser to testify. And of course he can't put Kane on the stand.
What if it's a DA who's fed up, knows the guy did it and maybe has a wife or daughter who's been a victim of rape? (And doesn't care about getting re-elected.)
I thought about going here. There's a lot of ways people cope and how they're affected. Travelling the world for a year might be better therapy than "well, they guy is in jail". I think it's up to the individual to make that call, and judging on it is in the same league as judging other people relationships. You can't tell me what should make me happy. That being said, I'd think she could also file a civil suit either way, right?
Tell Kane to shove the money and start a gofundme. I honestly don't know how a rape victim can possibly spend that money and not be tortured by where it came from.

Oh, to be sure. I just always give an eye-roll when I see a nod to the kids.
"Jimmy, sometimes men do bad things with donuts. You'll understand when you're older."

I am struggling to understand how Kane, and not the criminal justice system, is driving this bus. She wants the money? Fine? Charge Kane and haul both their onto the witness stand.
Which side really provides justice for the victim? This turns into a philosophical discussion, but which actually provides more "justice" to the victim? A large settlement that sets her up for life, or the satisfaction of knowing the guy who assaulted her spends time in jail? It's hard to put yourself in that situation, but personally I think I'd take the money.
Yeah that trip to Cozumel will be awesome. While you're stirring your beach drink, you can think about the next woman. Bottoms up.

You can't handle the truth!
Next up after the break — Roby talks about head cheese and the NHL lockerrooms of yesterday.

The balls don't sweat. Or itch. They're tucked away in the man purse. It's the scrote that causes our problems. Yet the balls always get fingered.

Chocolate chips?
No. Just no.

I made and consumed an entire loaf of banana bread in the past 24 hours, from when it was still warm last night until just now. I reckon it was about 3,300 calories. Good thing I gave up butter — Land O Lakes Buttery Spread with Canola Oil is also awesome, however.

Great cover of the Smash Mouth hit!

Buffalo finally de-Shittsburghed?

Funny. I remember the commercial but couldn't have come up w/ it being for Enjoli for anything.
I remember it going "c'est enjoli," but obviously it didn't. I also remember "rich" Corinthian leather, not "soft."
I will no longer tell my young relatives to stop staring at their gizmos. Man, I must have watched a lot of TV back in the day!
P.S. Ancient Chinese !

Hopefully as these guys are humanized, a large segment of the fans, certainly representing a majority of the fans, will stop cheering fights. How likely is that? Not bloody likely. For all the Eichel hoopla, the largest cheer of the prospects scrimmage came when two virtual kids went at it, for no other reason than to make an impression. One did for sure, as his name was chanted during the shootout. Don't think GMs don't notice how this stuff sells. They are not divorced from the marketing side of the game by any means.

This seems like a real whopper from Russ Brandon on sabres.com:
"The fact that we had such a high rate of renewal from our season ticket holders is really a testament to the direction our organization is headed,” Sabres president Russ Brandon said. “There’s a tremendous amount of excitement surrounding our team and we can’t wait to get on the ice.” The Sabres had 96 percent of season ticket holders renew their tickets for the 2015-16 season, marking the 10th consecutive season featuring a renewal rate higher than 90 percent. The team still has more than 2,000 people on the Blue & Gold Club season ticket waiting list.
Has excitement about the direction of the franchise been the driving force behind high renewal rates since 2005? Or has something else been at play? This year, is the Eichel Factor real? Do fans actually want tickets for the hockey? Would renewal rates have finally slumped had the Sabres made one of their heroic runs to ninth place?

I started singing "I love I love I love my calendar cat" in the shower this morning. I wasn't sure where it came from, but Google helped me remember. Back when calendars were sexy... this probably brought condemnation from Phyllis Schlafly. We don't see October, but surely when the KKK did, they burned one of the calendars at a rally in Mississippi. Ahhh, 1978...

Wait. Whoa. Hold on, ho ho ho... Hasn't shrader been 34 for about 7 years? Is it my imagination?
He may also remember my deep rooted hate on for everything even remotely connected to Billy Joel.
And this will be our closing argument... he hates Christie Brinkley!

Man. There'll be no music blaring, and just boring ass pasta and chicken dishes for the Rags players.
Drury seems like an odd fit for player development/coaching. I can't find anything in his resume to indicate he has any experience in this realm (captaining NHL teams is a plus of course). Personality-wise, did we ever see him crack a smile or speak above a whisper?
His skills — the mental focus, the preparation, the being in the right place at the right time — were uncanny. How does he impart that to others? Obviously, he'll immediately command respect from those kids. But not everyone can prepare like a Drury. He was almost robotic. He once said he never got nervous before games. Is that relatable to prospects?
-
That's quite a man advantage.

Sometimes I wonder if people read these links that are brought to our attention. Yes, the writer claims to have some sources that say Buffalo is one of the teams who approached Chicago. That would be the rumor. There's no rumored trade proposal — Reinhart etc. is merely the writer's theory of what it would take to acquire Kane.

2 is reporting that the witness to the alleged Rape has been subpoenaed to appear in front of a Grand Jury on September 8th.
There's a witness to the alleged rape?
To answer my own question, Channel 2 characterizes the witness as "the woman who was with Patrick Kane's alleged rape victim."

Poor guy took the day off to go fishing and no one is biting.
You just nibbled and it felt so good.
:flirt:
Well, it is the one time an owner should meddle. It's his name on the deed/title/whatever. The brand is at stake. If GMTM wants to trade for Pat Kane, Pegula has every right to say no. Hiring the foot fetish dude and allowing gay-bashing bullies and jaw-breakers and folks with criminal records on his football team, that's on Pegula.
-
Sure hope we are keeping our hands of this. Also hard to believe any team would want to trade for that mess.
Right on. Are there really five teams that scummy? Wouldn't be surprised if Pegula wants in on this action, given the dirtbags he's brought to Buffalo, or allowed to be brought to Buffalo, already. (And, yes, keeping scum off my team is one exception to my no-owner meddling rule.)

Happy Birthday Buff! And many more!!!!!

This has been settled, dude. Pegula himself admitted to it.
Therefore...

Oh, OK. Canadian Thanksgiving.

How is all this not conspiracy to cover up a crime? Where does the protection of society play into it? A rich guy can be a serial rapist who just pulls out his checkbook and moves on to the next victim? The criminal justice system is powerless to do anything about it?
