It's definitely rambly. When people aren't thinking too hard about what they're saying they ramble. It's kind of a symptom of a bigger problem, which is the proliferation of dudes talking mindlessly about anything and everything, regardless of whether or not they know anything about that of which they speak. Radio, tv, podcasts, Twitter, hell...this forum.

Yup. So when I look at what Friedman is saying, as a public figure and in a public forum, I have to roll my eyes because it's just very self-centered. Someone who is worried about, I don't know, losing a female audience, might have taken a more simple and tactful approach. "I've always had good experiences with him, but I cannot speak to any of the sexism claims" is just about perfect. Is that asking too much? I don't think so. Not from someone who's entire career revolves around words and what they mean.

I read it the same way you did. You provided a very specific example of the phenomenon, but the general point remains: personal experience with someone doesn't always count for anything. We see this all the time after some horrific murder happens or whatever. They interview the neighbor and it's always "oh, well he seemed like a nice young man." Sure. To you.

Also, water is wet.

:thumbsup: I've noticed that companies around here, on Glassdoor, often have issues on the "business side". I could speculate as to why that is...

Someone is screwing with us. Is this a throwback?

I know. I know. He's an owner and can do whatever he damn well pleases. Beyond that bit of wisdom, how do we figure this out? The News mentions today that the Sabres will not be commenting further on Norty's role. I think it's a mistake, because now we have this thread and there will be many different takes. If he's going to be an overarching president of both hockey and business operations, say it. If he's just the next Seymour, say it. I think we deserve to know if Scotty is now reporting to a hockey president.

Actually, we skipped spring here. Went straight from winter on April 30th to Summer on May 1st.

Maybe it's because nobody cares?

Probably not whatever it was that Russ was doing.

Hell yeah. Do it.

You'll get that raise real fast if you put in your two weeks notice.

Health insurance went up and completely washed out my Trump Tax Cut :rolleyes:

, they'll reprimand him for trying to fix that.

:unsure:

He cost us a Stanley Cup because he couldn't keep up with some hygiene. I can never forgive him for that.

This series is kinda boring. Tampa is boring.

Interesting thread. I think I have to pick Marty Biron. High character guy who was a part of that 05-06 run that was so much fun. He didn't leave the team angry or controversially. He's a huge Buffalo booster and very involved in the community. So many guys have blemishes for me that are hard to overlook. Marty stands out in my mind.

I'm just amazed. 3 playoff games is like a dozen regular season games.

I would like to do this again.

That is surprisingly significant

I agree

Interesting. Russ messing with McDermott's guys? Maybe that's what the Richie thing a few weeks ago was all about?
