  1. Is there news somewhere? I don't see anything about him.
  2. From what I read, one of the ways is to have either a computer or an accomplice feeding to a buzzer attached to the body somewhere(leg, shoe, um....other places). It can't really tell them exactly what move to play, but it can inform them "hey, look at the board, there's a good play here you might not be thinking of" or something like that. So you still need to be a very good player to even hang with the best of the best, but it could certainly give you an edge.
  3. Last 6 Captains: Craig Rivet: Oct. 2008 - Feb. 2011 (Waived) Jason Pominville: 2011-12 - April 2013 (Traded) Thomas Vanek: Oct. 2013 (Traded) Steve Ott: Oct. 2013 - Feb. 2014 (Traded) Brian Gionta: 2014-15 - 2016-17 (Left in Free Agency) Jack Eichel: 2018-19 - 2020-21 (Traded) Yeah...as a franchise they don't mind moving guys just because they're the Captain. 4 of the last 6 were traded or waived mid-season while captain.
  4. For years our inability to adjust at halftime has driven me absolutely nuts. Love that this, seemingly, has flipped somehow.
  5. Somehow, Dane Jackson is mostly ok. "Avoided major injury" and "is home...walked out of the hospital". I truly don't understand how, but super glad he's ok.
  6. It just popped up on twitter, thats the only way I know. Yeah, they need to hire someone just to tell him when and when not to challenge.
  7. Its incredible how bad they are at it. Those challenges are his call in the end, but they have a guy calling in to him, too. He's 6 for 25 in his career.
  8. Had/have a reel mower, used it for quite a while on my small lot in the city before I got lazy and bought a cheapo gas guy on clearance. My biggest tip is to cut regularly. If you let the grass get long, well, good luck getting through it.
  9. Was just going to suggest this. My wife and I have been doing a lot of this after our move. Giving stuff away and getting a few things we need. People will take ANYthing, its amazing.
  10. That feels fast, dont these things usually drag out for another month or so? Maybe I'm still just used to the earlier draft dates.
  11. This is a FAN FORUM. No one here knows anything. We're here for wild speculation and discussion and having fun following our team, which has been tough enough over these last 10 years without people calling us out about being wrong about stuff from half a decade ago. JW showing up to drag a FAN for making a wrong prediction FIVE YEARS AGO is unprofessional at best. He should be held to a higher standard because its his freaking job. Lets all search Warrows posts and find every time he was wrong on here. Christ.
  12. Yep, I think it happened a few years ago but Brady was enough to prop them up. BB is still a great coach, enough to drag them to some wins and maybe the playoffs, but his roster building hasn't been good in a while, and they don't get the cheap FA pickups without the TB12. I've generally resolved to not worry about a team unless I'm worried about their QB. Miami can add WRs all day and I don't care if they don't have someone to throw it. Zach Wilson and Mac Jones MIGHT work out and become great, but so so SO many QBs just don't make it to that next level that until it happens I'm not going to sweat it.
  13. Deadspin isn't even real Deadspin any more. All the original writers and editors left. Most are at Defector now. New Deadspin is like a funhouse mirror reflection of Old Deadspin. Not going to knock anyone's enjoyment of schadenfreude Eichel reading, though; its all gravy.
  14. I'll disagree slightly, but I see what you're saying. Really what you're getting with the NFL is hopefully top tier talent at an absolute steal of a contract, thats the real value. If you get a guy who can consistently start for you in the 4th round or later you've won because you're going to pay that guy peanuts for 4 or 5 years. But the swings aren't as big as the NHL for sure. I don't think you're getting a next year for the 25th pick first unless you give up a lot more, or they like, top 10 protect the pick (which IDK if you can do in the NFL).
  15. You could do both. Trade back from the first, pick up a 2nd a 3rd and a 5th, then trade your 4th and 2 5ths for another third, move your remaining 6ths and a 7th for a 5th. Now you've got 6 picks total: two 2nd, three 3rds, and a 5th. Or maybe you package a player and a pick for someone/something. All this depends of course, if you've got a guy you love in the first you just take him and ***** the rest. But draft picks are lotto tickets. Related but seperate thoughts, this set of graphs is interesting when it comes to pick value by position: Interior DL and QB? Huge dropoffs. DBs and WRs? Not so much.
  16. I've come to like them in a nostalgic way, but I hated the color change. Such a 90's decision, where the only colors were black, red and teal.
  17. This is about right based on this: Draft Value Chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp Bills pick is worth 720. Purely on those numbers Seattle is a good partner, where they'd get picks 40 or 41 ( Round 2 picks 8 and 9, worth 500 and 490 respectively) and pick 72 (Round 3 pick 8, worth 230). Seattle has a pick at 9 though, so they probably don't do it. Indy might be an option though; they don't have a first rounder, and they have picks 43 and 72, then throw in maybe their mid-round fifth and you get 731 points So now Bills first three rounds they'd have picks 43, 57, 73, and 89. I love those 2nd and 3rd rounders for WR's and CB's; I could definitely see them doing it, but Beane seems to like trading up more than trading down.
  18. I've been doing home reno for the last year, and I've yet to make one trip to the store and get everything I need in one shot. Its impossible.
  19. I'll take that US Draw. Stealing a point against England would be huge, but they SHOULD beat Iran and whoever comes out of that Euro playoff.
