I raised an eyebrow at this, but upon further thought — I wouldn't argue the claim. It encompassed so much of his greatness — the anticipation, the goal call itself, the delirious delight, here somewhat understated and better for it, IMHO.

It's referenced, albeit in a way that pays homage to Rick and not John. This was no accident or incompetence though.

Do you really think he's doing himself any favors?

They won't do it, but if you really want to play a clip of the Best of Jeanneret, find about three or four minutes of continuous action of a Sabres-Bruins playoff game in the 80s. If it ends with a Sabres goal, all the better. That was the genius of Rick on the radio. He delivered the game straight from his mouth, straight into our brains.

Who are the snowflakes again?

But we did see Rick's reaction to that last-second overtime goal by John.

RJ is back! One more season with RJ. One last run. Who says a run is a year?

I concocted a likely version of Rick's sendoff, but it wasn't amazing. It was actually too dark even for me. No one should have any confidence that the Sabres will be able to do anything amazing for him. I mean, just get the guy to center ice and the fans will provide the amazing. Maybe it's me — sure it is — but I'd rewrite the thread title: Sabres announce this is Jeanneret's last season; RJ calls it 'one last run' I see a sliver of light there, but it's only because I want to.

Well one can only imagine which one Brian Duff is rooting for. Can you imagine how he could weave that into every highlight?

I hate to pile on the Pegulas. But putting everything awful they've done to the side, we're still left with this crime against fan-anity. They are so out of touch with the fans, while claiming to be two of us. I call BS.

OK it's being reported more explicitly on sabres.com, which seems to put a pin in it.

There's wiggle room in that wording. I'll believe it when I see it.

Grumpy Gene Shalit.

Seriously. Who's going to pay that much to the Sabres?

Not getting a vaccine because someone you know had a reaction is the definition of irrational. And... it wasn't even the Covid vaccine.

How about setting it lower, or not setting it all, and see what happens? For our collective mental health. Is Television also acting in a certain way? Books? The Telephone? The Newspaper? I don't get the generalization.

How can it be rational if it's not based on facts? Your superiority complex is laughable.

It has been decided that all U.S. nursing home staff must be vaccinated or those homes will lose their federal funding. Passive voice — I can't say who decided that.

The chicken wing thread got me to thinking — maybe the Sabres could do something really creative and in the process take the edge off an idea that is so distasteful to many. Slap a chicken wing on the sweater. It might even look like it belongs. Then, just like that time we had a new captain every month, have a new chicken wing establishment sponsor every month. National joints like Buffalo Wild Wings would be a no-brainer. Throw in the locals. Maybe even the National Chicken Wing Festival. You artistically celebrate a little piece of Buffalo history at the same time you're selling an ad. The catch is that, in my mind, you get a standard bold font under the chicken wing with your name, not your own logo, which would really clutter up the patch. Is this idea mild, medium, hot or so stupid it's suicidal?

Could be. Probably. But it also might be that you want to eat like you did when you were 20, but the way you feel afterwards cures you of the desire.

I saw him playing Putt Putt with his uncle, George Seifert.

Agreed. I've been a victim of comments like this.

And if that person enacted policies that endandered millions while (likely) thinking his power, privilege, money and status would protect him?

That has to be challenging at a urinal.
