My response was related to the “start from beginning.” While there is no “start from beginning” button, once you e started the game “live” you can scroll back in time to the start of the game.

The entire game is available, when I start watching late I can scroll back to the start.

Maybe they stand pat and take Lamar Jackson at pick 12? Would be very curious to see their QB board from that year.

Was mask wearing in the stands mandated? I recall the requirements being only in the concourses and bathrooms.

I saw it mentioned that he could be a candidate for the Bills practice squad. OR, McKenzie and Hodgins could go to IR and make room for him.

This was disputed by Tim Graham a little bit ago: https://theathletic.com/2761986/2021/08/10/bills-new-stadium-faq-heres-what-were-hearing-and-what-we-know-about-the-project/

Or they know that they'd lose

“After the agreed-upon and prescribed period for conservative rehabilitation lapsed in early June 2021, it was determined by the Sabres medical staff that a surgical procedure was required,” the agents said. https://theathletic.com/2743585/2021/07/31/agents-for-jack-eichel-fire-their-shot-put-pressure-on-sabres-to-make-trade-happen/

The Sabres allegedly have stated that Jack needs surgery to get healthy. I don't know that holding Jack's health and ability to play hostage for contract concessions is going to fly.

I was going to post something along these lines - perhaps less nefarious. Fish is in contact with league GMs and I’m sure he’s keeping tabs on the trade daily. Perhaps teams are frustrated by the asking price, or feel they have met it. There could also be frustration with the Sabres not taking back salary. Leading to Fish requesting - “wrap it up”

Maybe worth noting the Benjamin thing tweeted above wasn't real.

Your owner owes me $50M…and my neck kinda hurts

If I'm him I'm amenable to 1 and 2. #3 is a no. I'll come and play hard and do what I can when I'm healthy. But you've got until 7/1/22 to move me otherwise I pick where.

it wasn't a report. more of a thought. And it was just Dahlin for Marner. https://www.tsn.ca/proposing-a-blockbuster-trade-that-would-help-the-toronto-maple-leafs-and-buffalo-sabres-1.1673100

Thought it might be worth noting: ESPN plus has a price increase coming in August - for those planning to subscribe anyway a yearly subscription would cost less prior to 8/13/21. Also- Rackuten has $10 cash back on a yearly

Late 2nd round pick and Bjork level player throw in

It could grease the wheels toward a deal if Seattle was posturing toward taking a Forward? maybe?

I don't know if it's the best ending, but one I re-watch often is the end of Whiplash

I think they need to add 2 goalies, my preference is for UPL to have an entire year in Rochester.

I don't see this in either of the Eichel threads, on 31 Thoughts podcast from this morning: Friedman: I think the only thing that is suddenly becoming an issue here is, if you don't do this deal soon is the acquiring team going to be comfortable that Eichel is going to have time to recover to be ready for next year. And again, the ask is really high, there is one team that's out there and someone from there just said "you wouldn't believe what the ask is." ...I just think the ask is really high. We'll see, they've tried to keep a lid on it after everything that happened when it first started. There is at least one team that's out there that is saying "if this isn't soon we're out." https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/back-to-florida/id1332150124?i=1000527963179

Gionta, come on gang 😃

If nothing else this has been enlightening, I didn't know either of those things.

Was it @Randall Flagg that had a thread breaking this down a couple years ago?
