Neimann cheated on chess.com where it’s easy to cheat if you use a chess engine (computer program) to determine the ideal move. The website now says he has cheated 100 times on the site. The real issue is how do you cheat during a live face to face match? In live matches you can’t bring or wear any technology. Did someone in the audience some how give hand signals? Did he stash a laptop in the bathroom? I have seen any reports of either being the case. So if Neimann cheated how did he do it?
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.

The Sabres have a rich history of naming someone captain and within 1 to 3 seasons … that captain is no longer a Sabre. So it’s certainly not out of the ordinary, if they’re named KO captain for one season.
And the Sabres absolutely will not retain half of his salary in order to move him. So that point is moot.
KO will be a leader this season regardless of a letter being slapped on his jersey.
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.-

A couple random thoughts during Fish Fry week.
Lost in all the over-the-top ball-washing of the Miami Dolphins is the fact that in the seven quarters prior to the Ravens defense going inexplicably brain dead during the 4th quarter on Sunday the Fins offense had scored four total touchdowns.
Before the season started there was much trepidation about Dorsey being a first-time play caller. The ability to make adjustments in-game, particularly at halftime, is a critical aspect of the job. 10 points in the first half against the Rams, 21 points after. 17 points against the Titans in the first half, 24 after. Granted one of the TD's Monday was from the defense, but the points came in one quarter prior to the starters being pulled. The Bills offense has scored 38 post-halftime points in 3 quarters of football. Dorsey's done a really nice job so far.

For years our inability to adjust at halftime has driven me absolutely nuts. Love that this, seemingly, has flipped somehow.

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.

I wouldn't know where to find a stat like that, but I would have bet it was somewhere in that area.
I think they don't understand the difference between being right and having absolute proof on video that they are right.
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.

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. -

Mower took a poop and is falling apart. She gave me a good 10 years, unlike ... For 129 bucks I can get a reel mower. Might give it another whirl, sonny.
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.

Oh, check out your local Buy Nothing group. The creators style it as a movement and it kind of is: people will ask for, give, or loan things out to each other. It's FB based, so there's at least some accountability and the moderators are supposed to make sure it's real people on there. We got and gave stuff all the time in PA, most of the time doing porch pickup and mostly free items. We lived in a townhouse though, so it was less risky than having randos over to your property. You can also do a traditional meet.
https://buynothingproject.org/
We don't do it now as there's no group where we live (and we don't want to start one).
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.

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.

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.-

The more I read about the Patriots draft, the more I feel the league has passed Belichek by. They did almost nothing to really improve that defense and their offense isn't particularly fast or threatening. Sure they can run but if you are trying to win games running 65% of the time and grinding clock against a team like the Bills who can just score at will... it isn't going to work.
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.

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. -

It's the NFL, not NHL. Not sure about "lotto tickets."
If the idea is to trade back, I'd rather see them pick up a 2023 first.
And I did like the graphs but I cut them to save room.
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). -

There's not room enough on the roster for all of the draftees as it is, so I think it's more likely that he'd trade up.
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. -
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.

Trading down later in the 1st won't get you a 2nd - there are only 7 picks after the Bills in the 1st, it would probably net you a late 3rd. you could probably get an early 2nd, an early 3rd and maybe a later pick for #25 - a team wanting a QB trading up. In this scenario i draft:
best CB in the early 2nd
Best RB in the late 2nd (WIll Walker III be there)
Best WR in early 3rd
Best Olineman in late 3rd
Now, if a CB or WR falls to 25 that I'm not expecting to - WIlliams/Olave type, all trades off
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. -

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.
