Weave

Brian Burke, maybe? I know it has happened before. Not sure if Burke is the right name though.

If the word on the street is it’s his dad that is pulling the strings that results in this kid switching teams like that, I may want to interview dad as well. Separately. He’s got enough talent to warrant the scrutiny, but if I get red flags in the interviews I move on.

I’m guessing He is referring to retiring Willie O’Rees number.

Put down the pipe. You've had enough for one day.

No more point in discussing Millers trade value until (if?) he comes off IR. He is unmovable until he gets back on the ice.

He would have to ace a very focused interview for me to consider drafting him.

Will be interesting to see if they come out a bit more engaged this time.

It was at that moment that I started to feel that it was Buffalo’s day. That interception and Belichick’s decision to punt on 4th and 1 told me it was our time.

Donny gonna force feed Tage and Tuch until it works apparently. I thought Cozens and Tuch worked well in the very small sample size they were together. They have a similar game.

Its the wrong thread for this topic, but interest by a PEI is not revenues when they are such a small portion of the value of the team. And those decisions were still not revenue decisions, they were on the other side of the ledger.

I'm not suggesting day-to-day operation of the franchise. I'm talking about influencing business decisions. 100's of millions of dollars are rarely given up without some level of influence on the outcome. Granted, a major professional sports team may be the one singular exception based on historical team values, but I wouldn't expect an organization who's business plan is based solely on return on investment to take a passive stance.

How would we ever know that he failed to bring in a good veteran goalie? For all we know he’s tried multiple times. Ive said before, the biggest detriment to bringing in good veteran players is the GM stated requirement that he’s only considering players that want to be here. Players just don’t want to be here, with outliers obviously (OK Tuch, one outlier).

So, is 7 straight touchdown drives a playoff record?

I think as long as Buffalo is perceived as a place where winning now isn’t likely good veterans won’t sign here

That would most certainly be a negotiating point in any purchase. Minority ownership =/= no influence unless it is negotiated that way. *no idea if there is already a league rule regarding this.

I was thinking more along the lines of my experiences working for companies that were sold to private equity firms. You make a good point.

Holy crap, Ghost. Hoping for the best.

Minimum wage contracts, laying off scouts when they can't scout, and movement of long term commitments are costs decisions, not revenue decisions.

A private equity firm would almost certainly demand some level of control as a condition of sale.

you most definitely do minimize expenses and long term obligations.

Or it’s preparation for a sale/part sale.

Now there is a word I never thought I’d see describing Mitts.

An equity firm would make OSP look like a Karen loose in the shopping district on Black Friday.
