  1. The conditions on the 2021 pick are as follows: the third-round pick in 2021 becomes a second-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round OR Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. The third-round pick in 2021 becomes a first-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round AND Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. If neither condition happens, New Jersey still receives the 2021 third-round pick.

    Can anyone explain why the CBS logo changed to the Star Trek logo every time it wiped off the screen in all of its promos yesterday?

    CBS Streaming service carries Star Trek Discovery and other shows are in development.

    There is a lot wrong with WGR. The sad thing is that WGR is WNY's one true broadcast media outlet. When is Pegula going to get his head out of his A** and realize he could create his own local sports network like the old Empire Sports Network? They already have some content thats on MSG, its not much of a stretch to include UB Football, Little 4 Basketball, Bisons (They are still an entity aren't they?) and High School Sports. I'm sure its probably not much of a financial winner but Its probably not a huge loser either, Im just saying it would be nice to have that back again. 

    The John Murphy Show and Instigators are their content, on WGR and MSG. In my opinion both are un-listenable.

  4. Brian Campbell Veins Veins Veins where he has a huge scab on his face

     

    There was a commercial for BC/BS, at least I think it was them, that consisted of women dancing by themselves. The african american woman in the commercial had a very memorable dance that I would pull out as a reference at weddings etc. 

  5. Was anyone watching who can provide the context of the play?

     

    Seeing the replay of the full thing it was very strange. Only half or so of the players appear to be trying. Some even just standing around. It was a screen play so it may have been somewhat attributed to design, but Garrett was completely untouched on his way to the QB.

    Watching that, I can't get past the notion that there are basically "The View" shows, but for dudes.

    Other than live sports I haven't watched anything on ESPN in years and feel I'm better for it. Their programming is trash in my opinion. 

     

     

  7. Bills players said some stuff after the game about Lewan. 

    Quote

    After the game, Lawson didn’t mince words when talking about Lewan, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.

    “We knew what his weakness was — he gives up inside moves and this was an inside game. He’s a fake tough guy…He was quiet today”

    Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who was the star of the Bills’ defense with three sacks, had this to say about Lewan’s return.

    “I was really happy Lewan came back today. I’m glad he could be a part of that today”

     

    Lewan responded to the comments on Twitter. Bills players, foolishly in my opinion, responded.

    Does anyone have an update on that dude?  He's an idiot for sure but he also has people that care about him. 

    Saw an update on twitter that stated he just has a concussion. Can't remember who it was from otherwise I would share the specific tweet.

  9. Am considering getting rid of Directv this  year and so am shopping for options for Sabres. I am a streaming television novice, how easy is nhl.tv to use? How well does it work? Any issues or considerations I should be aware of before I subscribe?

     

    We have an Apple TV which I checked and it is compatible with NHL.TV.

     

    I'm out of market for Sabres.

    PASS MORE ON FIRST-AND-10

    The most obvious and typical time to involve a running back is on first-and-10. But as I mentioned above, it’s become far more efficient to pass on first-and-10 than it once was.

    If teams called a more optimal game, they would run the ball more on short yardage and inside the red zone and would pass the ball more in all other situations including on first-and-10. Ultimately, this means fewer rushing attempts in general. (I’ve long discussed how to use running backs more efficiently in the early down passing game, and won’t dig into that in this article)

    Looking at success rate, over the last two years, first down passes have been more successful (53%) than first down rushes (45%). Removing two-minute situations and isolating one-score scenarios, passing is 9% more successful and leads to a gain of 3.2 more yards per play on average (7.2 vs 4.0). Yet teams run the ball 54% of the time on these neutral 1st and 10 situations.

    The Pats will probably win, but maybe not.  Sooner or later, every dog has its day.

    And if it's close in the 2nd half, and the Bills sack Brady on 3rd down, or lay a big hit on someone to force a fumble or an interception, or score to tie the game or get within 3 -- at that moment in time, there will be no place on earth as awesome to be as the Ralph.

    The best moment I've ever had at the stadium:

    Jack Johnson is a perfect example.   Wasn't he broke because of his parents few years ago ?

    Quote

    it all started with Johnson handing over power of attorney to his mother, Tina Johnson. Thereafter, Tina and her husband Jack Sr. tried to monetize Johnson’s $30.5 million contract by borrowing money secured against their son’s future earnings.

    According to court documents, Tina Johnson borrowed at least $15 million across about 18 high-interest loans that resulted in multiple defaults. Some of these loans had interest rates as high as 24%. Using their son’s money, the parents also bought a beach house in Manhattan Beach, California. They also "allegedly each bought a car, spent more than $800,000 on upgrades to the Manhattan Beach property and traveled, often to see him play NHL games for the Kings and Blue Jackets.”

    Smart by Miami.  Trading with KC, Packers, Philly or the Cowboys will not yield a top 10 pick, which could very well happen with Pittsburgh.   From the Steeler perspective not sure what they think they can achieve this year.   How many first rounders from Miami next year?  Three, plus the first overall?   Epic Tank.  

    3 including the 1 overall.

    dude looks fast, think he'll grab a spot ? seems pretty crowded at RB.

    Little to no chance, he's behind 5 other guys. He will perhaps make the practice squad. His designation permits them to keep him without it taking a practice squad position.
