This was my first thought. Compared to regular season NBA games, regular season NHL games are at March Madness level intensity.

It's whatever I say it is, dammit. lol

You can't take them so literally. It's more about the overall vibe. Lip reading not required.

Guys who start bogus threads to mock others who started threads they deem unworthy.

Beane can’t fire McDermott. They both report directly to Pegula.

Wow, Lehrer-like shootout for UPL

That’s one point. TNT ready to bury one for the second point.

Same for me, along with Aerosmith.

How about old pal Jake McCabe for this year plus two more to pair with Power? $4M cap hit, have Chicago retain half. Get him for a second and Bryson or something similar? Move Joker to 3rd pairing with Lybush.

Prophetic

My reaction to the Vikings debacle was I took a week off and didn't watch the game vs. Cleveland at all. First game I have missed in many years. It was a healthy break and I was able to ease back into it slowly. But now I am preparing to have my soul crushed again (Bills fan since ~1976).

The problem with number 2 is we get back too many umlauts.

Until there is more data, I think it's a somewhat random result on the home vs. road splits. My expectation is regression to the mean over time. The bigger question is 'where is the mean' for this team?

Agree. But he might also just be dumb. There's evidence for both. This sucks. Now you won't see a single royalty check from that post.

Was she one of them? 😉

Lol. Sorry, I reverted back to my grad school Operations Research experience. I had a professor for two classes that was working with another guy to get the bid to do Major League's Baseball schedule using these sorts of tools. Shortly after I graduated, they actually got the business. He frequently used sports scheduling in his class discussion and homework. Ok this made me google it...these guys: http://www.sports-scheduling.com/

I should have been more expansive in my response. It's possible to play 3 in a row on the road or home. The last time it happened to the Bills was 2019. That said, I am sure the NFL's scheduling process, which certainly involves a Linear Program optimizer and/or Heuristic solver, tries to avoid this situation where possible. However, it will fall below 'hard' constraints such as the stadium is not available on a given weekend (like for a Phish concert) and would have to be prioritized vs. things like Network requests for certain games. But you're right, it can happen.

Yeah, one truck stays at Liquid State, the other hits the festivals and so forth and is in Ovid every Wed (I think). I like where this thread has gone on the Ithaca side of things. I was born there!

If you haven't had it yet, when they are back in town in the Spring I highly recommend having some Silo Fried Chicken at the Liquid State Brewing Company location. Best food truck I've ever experienced and run by great people.

It's literally a formula. There is no schedule-maker per se for who plays who and where. The human element comes in on the sequencing but even there it's limited by rules like no more than 2 home or road games in a row, avoiding known stadium conflicts, LA and NY teams need to not be playing at home on the same day, etc.

TNT!

WTF was that stick to the side of UPL’s head?

Do they know it’s 4 on 3?

Good TO
