I couldn't tell it wasn't beef. But goulash (American style) is one of those dishes you could leave the meat out of and not realize it's gone. You are right. The ethical and environmental reasons to use a beef replacement outweigh the health factor. The list of ingredients in Impossible Burger is something to look into.

I'm glad I changed your mind. The people needed to hear from you, especially at this difficult time for our team, nation and world.

Yep.

I got me some of that Impossible meat. Man, it looks and cooks like beef for sure. I didn't even want to touch it. I made goulash with it, so we'll see about the taste.

Says who?

The more I read about it, the more woke I get. People decline the sedation so they can get on with their day, go to work, drive home etc. I'm guessing the skill of the surgeon is key. If you haven't been doing unsedated colonoscopies, you might inflict some pain.

Thorny nailed it. I am now envious of it. How 'bout this: Terry turns over a new leaf and calls Kevyn onto the HMS Carbondale. "Kev... what do you need from me?" You're Kev. What do you say? I know a lot of people will respond with how naive I am, how the owner has every right to drive the relationship wherever he wants it to go, even to direct involvement in decision-making. Because, wait for it, he's a billionaire businessman and HE OWNS THE TEAM. Fine. I'm just envisioning this idealistic scenario. But, really, how pie in the sky is it? You are a fan of a team and buy that team. Don't you want to do what makes the most sense to have success? Please explain why my concept of ownership makes less sense than what we've had. Exactly how does more involvement than that benefit the team? My answer: I need your trust, and I might need some more of your money.

The winner has been notified and asked to make a speech but has humbly declined and asked that his victory not be publicly acknowledged. Pure class. You know who you are.

Me so Thorny.

"It's all about winning." Don reacting to a question about how he sells himself as a head coach in the NHL when he has a reputation as a development coach.

Unprompted, Don credited RaKru for leaving him a solid foundation to build on.

It's a strained analogy because the hockey department isn't a business, and the owner isn't its boss. I'll die on this hill, dreaming, looking into the sky and seeing Rick's suspenders and Spacek in that fur coat in the clouds.

That's a real stretch. The actual quote was that the extent of the rebuild would be determined by the owner. There was going to be a rebuild. Darcy might have agreed with the necessity of doing so. But he was telling us in the spring of 2013 that he wasn't going to make the decision on what kind of rebuild it was going to be, Terry was.

That's what I wanna know.

@LGR4GM lives rent-free in my head. I want paid.

No, but what does it matter? I've said time and again the business analogy doesn't work. You've got a chef here trying to rework the menu of a failing world class restaurant and the owner who doesn't know a spatula from a hole in the ground wants in on food sourcing decisions. I mean, sure, he owns the place. Who cares? Creative people don't want the interference. Go tell Spielberg to not hold the shot too long on Lincoln's tortured face.

Darcy told us that he would be instructed by Terry re: the rebuild. You can call Regier a liar, but don't tell me that's not evidence of meddling. You don't like me and begrudge me a "my bad, you were right." That's all this is. Envy that you didn't think of it first. Here's your chance to stop being lazy. Prove that every owner does what Terry has done. Links, please. You can do it Dudacek-style, franchise by franchise. Too busy? It'll be far less work than I've put into exposing TRPWRTE.

Funny. I just happened onto some clips of docs talking about unsedated colonoscopy. Apparently it should be a pain-free procedure. So what's up with the sedative, pain med and amnesiac?

It's a strained analogy. Would you like to present strategy to an owner who won the lottery and bought your business and has demonstrated for a decade he doesn't know what he is doing and has actually run the business into the ground?

So... based on literally nothing you present a case to make Terry look innocent against charges painstakingly put together over the course of years. Some is direct evidence, some is circumstantial. The conclusion is almost unavoidable. Smoking guns? On Ehrhoff: there's a video of Terry's kids talking about how much Dad liked Ehrhoff. On Leino and Ehrhoff: there's Terry calling into WGR and defending himself against other owners, saying the signings were his decision. On the tank there's Darcy on WGR saying he liked the Wild rebuild and the extent of the rebuild would be Terry's call. On his relationship with GMJB, one of the two said they spoke three times a day. You have Terry in the war room, Terry at the draft table, Terry on a plane to woo Regehr, Terry sitting up top next to Bales, Terry going to the GM side when he and Kim got to the arena offices. Honestly I think sometimes I'm the one being trolled.

I'm not sure I did. You'd also make your managers travel to Florida at a time when clearly they have better ways to spend their time at home.

Coming this summer on SabreSpace, a classic re-airing of The Trial of Terry Pegula*. (Spoiler alert: he's found guilty of meddling this time, too.) *Due to unfortunate circumstances*, the role of Terry Pegula this time will be played by PromoTheRobot. *Woody cannot be located. Watch for it following Ken Burns' 11-part series, Tank.

So you wouldn't trust the people you hire? And you wouldn't be smart enough to know that as the person with the hammer over the heads of your managers, that your jib-jab (I like gritty players! He's a fine young man! That kid can really skate!) wouldn't be a thumb on the scale? Also — you really haven't paid much attention to Pegula as owner, have you? He's not a "keep me in the loop, that sounds fine, go ahead" kind of guy. He coached his son in Olean, not sure if you heard.

Hope you have a good mask.

Correct. First we need to find out what's really wrong with Dad.
