  1. I know there have been some questions about the cap next year and I thought this article does the best job speculating. http://spectorshockey.net/wordpress/2012/02/23/the-upcoming-rise-and-fall-of-the-nhl-salary-cap/
  2. I'd say its a pretty good assessment as per usual. I will say I expect Adam to be a trading chip as well as I see him as one of those tweeners, not good enough for a top 2 line position and not a good fit on the third and fourth lines. It also shows how close this league as become. Put a true #1 center on that roster abd factor in above average goaltending and they can be as good as any team.
  3. And that's such am impressive list who did so much to help Vancouver handle the physical onslaught that keeps getting them knocked out of hte playoffs.
  4. You can thank me later for that one point I gave you by outhinking myself. Hate when that happens.
  5. Must have been a great week for goaltending. My opponent had 2 shutouts in three starts, I had 1 and we both had save% over .935. Anyway, looks like I'll miss the playoffs for the first time in three years. Just couldn't overcome the early injuries, not that that is an excuse, I mean its fact or wait the pressure just got to me..or ??? Anyway, its been another fun year and I still hope to play spoiler to the two division leaders I face the next two weeks.
  6. Remember that on January 2nd, I am 14th out of 15th. I still plan on making the playoffs for the third year in a row.
  7. And have you analyzed the other 27 players that scored 31 or more goals last year? I think you will find that most players a "streaky" scorers. I still don't like Stafford, but he had a great season last year.
  8. Still haven't figured out how they fit 500,000 people in there that day.
  9. I'm pretty sure when they officially hired him they said he was working as an unpaid consultant. I know TP called him the point man and only person that took him serious when he first said he wanted to own a hockey team.
  10. All I got to say is that its good that I'm good at what I do for a living cause I suck when it comes to figuring out my favorite football team. Seriously, I still have faith in Fitzpatrick and while WJAG doesn't understand how NFL contracts work(If I'm wrong about Fitzpatrick they can cut him after next year without much harm) its hard to beat the drun for him after the last three outings.
  11. What it just emphasizes is how important matchups and scheduling is.
  12. So evidence that contradicted Cey and Schultz testimony and further validated McQueary's was not relevant to the case? Keep clinging to that hope. I'm sure the spin doctors are trying hard to save St. Joe Pa.
  13. Uh-oh. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/7248184/syracuse-police-investigating-bernie-fine-molesting-boy-1980s
  14. Given what we know now, I don't think its necessary to shut the whole program down as long as self imposed probation and a complete housecleaning is done. Given news of Paterno shifting assets into his wife's name along with other allegations I think it would be prudent to remove his statue and any other items honoring his tenure. He is clearly "dirty" in this whole thing. I would be surprised to see Benson survive this mess as I see no way he could not have known what was going on and can't imagine how it is possible that TP would have made his donation if he knew what was going on. We all should be well passed the age of innocence where anything surprises us anymore and corporations have been brought down by less "circumstantial" evidence. Hopefully TP and others have the wherewithal to steer the University through this mess.
  15. That's the thing about today's NFL. While I wouldn't bet on the above scenario playing out, I wouldn't bet anything of real value against it either.
  16. 5 more in a row and he will equal Romo's run before yesterday or Sanchez's run not counting Bills game.
  17. Gee thanks for pointing that out. After two fairly successful regular seasons followed by playoff failure I'm hoping this team has the mental toughness to pull it together and peak at the right time. God I'm losing it....
  18. That's bs. You already had zero expectations. Your preconceived notions about the Bills were confirmed. What a shock. Football, like most team sports is about match ups. Some teams just don't match up well against another. If all teams could play defense like the Jets, then there would be reason to worry. The Jets and Giants show people how to make Tom Brady look bad, can the rest of the league follow suit?
  19. Which is perfect since that is about were his pay scale is.
  20. I don't know what the deal is but since the above quote is attributed to Joe B., I think in fairness we should post what he said on wgr55.com. http://wgr550.com/BUSCAGLIA--Ok-Fitz--Bills-are-all-in--Now--it-s-on/11326291
  21. One last thing, that throw that Fitzpatrick made to a streking TO last year, was that a part of ever?
  22. Montana threw an occasional deep ball because no one was expecting it. Fitzpatrick has made that throw. Is it his forte? Of course not. Is he Montana? Not even close. The point is as history has proven, there are no perfect formulas to success. The Bills, with little help from their defense and a patch work offensive line at best and a bunch of undrafted or low drafted receivers are 8 and 6 in their last 14 games and playing some exciting football. You and no one else knows if it is just developing or already at its peak. Just enjoy the ride.
  23. I remember this weak armed quarterback drafted in the third round by the Niners a few years back. Made quite a living throwing to a couple of too slow receivers, one simply knowned for the "Catch" and one known as the greatest reciever of all time.
  24. Just hoping no to fall too far behind. Still confident that Malkin and Crosby will be worth the wait.
  25. Man my team is getting beat up. I may drop Gerbe just so he doesn't get hurt.
