FIFA > FA > EPL right?

I think Klinsman is going to play for the win. The difference in the path for the group winner and the group runner up is stark. Neither of these teams wants to land in the bracket with Belgium and Messi. They'll want Algeria/Russia and France.

Apparently entertainers are treated differently. Google backs up 11's assertion.

I could not agree more. Best center available. Get fancy with the second round picks if you must.

Rio Tomatlan had a fire in the bar on 5/19. They're saying 2 months for reconstruction. I may not last that long.

This still gives those team an extra $2M-$3.5M in effective cap space. I suppose it doesn't matter as long as these teams aren't spending to the cap.

So the tax advantage for playing for a team in Texas or Florida is only half, for the home games?

I do not pay income tax in other states when I travel for work. Am I doing it wrong?

She had a nice personality.

I wonder if the league will make an adjustment for this in some way. FLA, TB, and DAL effectively have 5% - 9% higher caps than the other teams.

It's not a " not as bad..." Those numbers say that Stafford is actually pretty good. Where's that beer.

But it makes Drew F'n Stafford a slightly above average second line right wing. I need a beer.

I never would have guessed that the median (#15 in the league by position) top line players are 60-65 point guys. Median 2nd line guys (#45 in the league by position) are 35-40 point guys really emphasizes the impact a top of the draft 75-80 point player can have on a team. Seriously this is mind bending, going to take some time to adjust. This makes Drew Stafford a slightly above average 2nd line right wing.

I think it's highly unlikely that our goaltending will be the same.

Zemgus could get to be a 60 pt player though, which would put him on a level with former Sabres like Derek Roy.

:lol:

was the italian redcard one of those automatic things? it didn't seem that bad.

good point. But that might just balance out the downgrade in goal. One other posibility is Zemgus. That kid has it in him to will a team to 80 points. I don't know if he can do it next year, but he has that thing there isn't a good word for. it.

To finish just behind the islanders, we would have to win 13 additional games. Who can we possibly add or improve that will get us an additional 26 points in the standings? Jesus Gretzky Orr? Bottom 3 is almost inevitable unless we trade our top draft picks for current players.

They can win 33% more games this year and still finish last. They will be better this year, but not 7 wins better, so they'll still finish last.

Pinch-hit, walk-off home runs are awesome: I woke up 2/3rds of my children last night with my excitement.

Oh god! I think we've discovered the root of Drane's deep distrust for society. We're you deprived of kindergarten graduation?

52 years ago, just outside of West Point: ( :P My oldest son's Kindergarten graduation is today)

25 years ago they were celebrating kindergarten graduation in inner city catholic schools run by angry nuns. There were cupcakes.
