OK, they get shots on goal at even strength…can they just do the same things on the PP? I mean, just one or two maybe?

The Bills traded away the pick that KC chose Mahomes with. And 9 other teams decided NOT to take Mahomes ahead of that pick. And KC knew it was such a great pick they didn't even play him his rookie year except for one throwaway game at the end. I wish Bills fans didn't self punish themselves over that trade. We have Josh Allen at QB. If you put Mahomes on the Bills with everything else the same, I am not sure they even do as well as they do with Allen.

With the exception of last season, they haven't even been as good as the Jauron Bills.

Can't catch a break with these refs.

I thought the same thing. But it's also possible they needed a shift change and he was basically just getting them an O-zone faceoff.

Outstanding. I actually track some of those categories. I'm a big Bela Fleck fan and he is sometimes in those 'non-primetime' categories as well.

Trying to figure out who your brother is by looking at 4 time winners. For example, I eliminated Marvin Hamlisch and Lisa Lopes because they've both been dead for more than 10 years and Lopes would be a sister. Carol King and Lizzo don't fit. Lenny Kravitz would be cool. David Russell would be a candidate but he's European. No problem if you don't want to share but would be fun to know.

Speaking of injury prone...

Stafford went 0-3 in the playoffs with Detroit, who were never serious contenders, and asked to be traded at age 32 when the team was in full rebuild mode. Allen has gone 5-5 in the playoffs on a team that is a consistent Super Bowl contender and is only 28 on a team expected to continue to contend. I don't think the situations are similar at all. Come back in a few years and revisit it.

I am in Lakewood, Colorado and we have gotten about 10 inches of extremely wet, heavy snow in the past 5 hours. It was rain this morning. Thursday was 59 degrees and sunny. Looks to keep coming down for another hour or two at least. I was planning on going to see the Univ. of Denver hockey game tonight but now, no way am I heading out on these roads.

I'm not sure what got into me.

So after Thompson, Tuch, Dahlin, and Power who else would you suggest Adams unloads next? Trading for Patrick Kane and giving him a contract extension is really brilliant, btw.

I think there is a (c) as well. That is a player not quite athletic enough or aware enough (a form of athleticism) to avoid injuries in the natural course of the sport they play. An example might be Tua Tagovailoa. He actually took martial arts classes and "learned how to fall" this off-season to help avoid injuries (it seemed to help). The opposite end of the scale is Josh Allen. Yes, he's built like a tank but also his innate athleticism and ability to anticipate hits and move his body in such a way as to avoid injury is also part of his incredible streak of no missed games despite all the hits he takes. In hockey I feel like Cale Makar has a bit of the Tua issue not in that he isn't a good enough athlete, but rather he plays with a recklessness at times that doesn't protect his body. Actually, playing with excessive recklessness might be (d) in the list of types of injury prone athletes.

This is a funny question to ask. But the answer is that for the next couple years at least he’s worth one more pick than the best offer anyone would make for him.

Except at the initial puck drop

I was at the Avs-Caps game last night. Two things to pass on: 1) In the pre-game skate, when everyone was leaving, McKinnon stayed on the ice and had someone feed him one timers in the circle. He took about 10 in a row at 3/4 speed, then departed. Two of the three goals he scored in the 2nd period (in less than 7 minutes no less) were from this spot and were one timers from Rantanen. 2) Ovie is now like a large, strong, slow Victor Olofsson. Sad to see.

Maybe, but he certainly has eaten a lot of contracts on the Bills side of the house. Also, the issue isn't the sunk cost, it's the incremental cost of a new coach vs. the value such a coach would bring compared to DG. But I'd fire him today if it were up to me. (Well, I might wait for the next atrocious loss, which is likely Saturday.)
