Now THIS is what I was expecting from PA.(minus the Netflix amazon stuff cuz he still goes to video stores) :lol:
Never liked Barney Miller. Some of my early favorites were All in the Family (show me better acting than what Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton pulled off), The Odd Couple and of course M*A*S*H. And some of my fondest memories of childhood involve watching The Carol Burnett Show. When Harvey Korman and Tim Conway got going, it was gold.

Physicals should be open to the public. With a ropeline, of course.

I hate Seinfeld with the burning fire of a million suns.
That's how hot it's going to feel for you in Hell.
-
Which one?
The glasses were BOGO.
-
Well Sara Hyland was 19 during that season and is a ripe ol 23 now.
OK, so it's not wrong to ogle someone who's playing a 15-year-old?

Welp, he's back with Darcy as a scout in Arizona.
So the rumors were true.

Every single character on the show is a caricature. That's what makes it tv.
Well said.

Modern Family is solid entertainment, and belongs in that tradition of shows like Cosby, Friends, Cheers, Family Ties, and such. All of those shows are, more or less, about family dynamics (Friends and Cheers put a different spin on it -- but those casts were essentially family units).
M.F. does not belong in that tier of shows that people obsess(ed) over and which receive(d) critical acclaim -- Lost, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, etc. Which maybe is the point being made above about "Oh, Lordy, is M.F. what now passes as great TV."
Perhaps you have a different definition of critical acclaim, but:

Agreed. Three of the hottest women to boot.
I'm only through most of Season Two, so I'm not sure who the third hot woman is. Julie Bowen is hotter than a firecracker, yes.

I just started watching Modern Family. It's awesome. I don't know how I missed it.

Are they going to finish on time?
If this doesn't bring Ghost out of retirement, nothing will.

i don't, but i probably should. i'd be curious to see how much i consume. for example today alone i've had two handfuls of cashews, almost a whole small tub of cottage cheese, a banana, and i'm working on my second 32 oz bottle of water. BUT that constitutes four of my six small meals that i eat a day rather than 3 large ones and a bunch of crap in between. i've eliminated pretty much all processed foods. things like butter, mayo, high-fat dressings, cream-based soups ... all gone.
now ... like i said, i cheat on occasion, and it's the cheating that lets me keep pressing onward and downward. i also love a good stick of butter ... generally over popcorn popped in lemon-infused olive oil, slathered with the cube of butter, and covered in garlic salt and parmesan (yah ... i know. it really is just that good though). i haven't done that in a *long* time, but i may tonight or tomorrow night just cuz.
i don't eat after 8. i drink a minimum of 64 oz of water a day. i take vitamin supplements and natural appetite supressants.
i don't have a drawer full of every flavor of dove and bliss chocolate at my desk anymore. i get up and walk half an hour for lunch instead of driving to BK or wherever. i don't drink soda. ever. and that's probably the hardest part cuz i sit in some pretty boring-a** meetings, and a lot of the times, those coke zeros were all that kept me awake. BUT becuse i'm walking more, losing weight, and generally just feeling better all around, I find that I don't need the coke to stay awake. That's huge.
lots of little things, a few big things ... all add up to less me. :)
Fiber is your friend. I saute a can of chick peas in olive oil and various spices for lunch three or four days a week. It's all I can do to finish it, along with two pieces of whole grain bread. And I'm not hungry the rest of the afternoon. A little high in sodium, but not bad.
And walking is the best. It's as good for your mind as it is for your body.
Keep going. Small changes, over time, that's the secret.

don't ask ... apparently a sh**-ton of junk. and more junk. and probably some junk on the side.
Do you count calories, or keep a log? It's very eye-opening where the calories go. I was a butter junkie, almost a stick a day! That's 800 calories.

I have my answer for this, but I'm interested: would you trade Zadorov for Mantha straight up, right now?
Would anybody else?
Moe way.

@PA - Oh there are times when players just aren't playing hard enough or playing lazy. See Exhibit A - Ovechkin, Alexander
I give in. There is no coming back from this.

Wives'. You had it right.
An argument could be made for wives.
And here I thought this thread was going to be funny dog stories.
I thought it was going to be about prison and lesbians and chafing and stuff.

Down 30 pounds in just over 5 weeks doing nothing more than changing up diet and portions. Haven't even started exercising yet. That changes tonight when I take the bike for a spin. Probably a very short spin, but it's a start. I figure if I ride for half an hour to an hour a night, I'll be down to my target weight by the end of October. For the first time in forever, people are actually commenting on the changes, too. I've fluctuated weight, but only a small percentage--barely noticeable. 30 pounds is a significant decrease, even for a guy my size.
That is truly awesome!

Zadorov got benched, cassidy didn't like his effort level.
"Didn't like the effort" is a comment that has never made any sense to me at this level of hockey. Why wouldn't Zadorov be trying hard enough? I've always attributed that quote to ignorance — a media member who doesn't understand the more plausible explanation for why a player or team is struggling. Coming from a coach, it's harder to reconcile. I still don't get it. If Zadorov really wasn't trying hard enough, well, there's a huge problem here.

Shout.

In a world where "required" means "optional" and Ted Black is simply lying about a "mandate," and players unions create oversight committees that do nothing of importance to insure their revenues, you are right.
I rest too.
This isn't about semantics. You praised someone who had it totally wrong. Own it.

I'm not even remotely concerned about exhibition prospect games.
And you're posting in this thread because...
Happy Birthday Jo!

Yes. half the time I thought the Sabres scored.
The balance he showed in the couple of real games he called was something I respected. I still say Paul is/was heads and shoulders above Dan Dunleavy. It's not hard to imagine why Paul wasn't an attractive choice to be the PR face of the team. He's said some pretty caustic things over the years, and he doesn't seem like a guy who's going to be bought.

This didn't take long.
Considering all the first and second round picks the Sabres threw at Carolina on Friday, it’s rather shocking they lost 6-1 in game one of the Traverse City Prospects tournament. -
According to section 49.3(d) of the CBA, teams that have gate receipts less than 75% of the league average are eligible for revenue sharing, as subject by the Revenue Sharing Oversight Comittee. Clubs that are eligible must submit a business plan to the RSOC, and funds are subject to plan approval and successful execution of the plans.
According to Forbes, Sabres are 20th in revenue. The total gate receipts for the NHL are $906M, averaging $30.2M. Sabres gate receipts are $22M, 72.8% of the league average. That makes us eligible for revenue sharing, but those funds are subject to providing RSOC with a plan ans successfully executing that plan. Hence the Sabres' ticket price increase. Note that gate receipt increases trail ticket price increases by about 1%, so the Sabres effectively have planned to increase ticket prices 4%, expecting a gate receipt increase of 3%. This plan, added to the 72.8%, safely meets the required 75%.
Within 1%, they're executing the plan that RSOC required of them to be eligible for revenue sharing. I couldn't find the revenue sharing amounts, but it's definitely more than the planned ($22M x 3%) $0.66M increase of the gate receipts.
And the season ticket holders, who pay for much of the increase in ticket prices, are getting rebates in SabreBucks to the tune of 6.5%, which by my math is probably between $1M and $1.5M, more than the actual increase in gate receipts.
I think it's a good circumvention of the CBA: increase the gate receipts to appease the league and remain eligible for revenue sharing and give the money back in rebates to season ticket holders. The only downsides are that only STH's are benefitted and rebate are only in SabreBucks.
Thanks iknowphysics,
Great summary.
Great summary, except totally wrong.
I rest my case.

I'll channel Brian Koziol here and say that the NHL thinks too hard of ways to kill offense. Why shouldn't you be able to do a spinorama on a penalty shot or in a shootout?

Allspice, not cloves. You are the last person I figured would make that mistake.
But thank you. Tell anyone who says they like pumpkin to eat a scoop out of the can. That'll cure 'em.
