For you. For others it is different. It's not for me either, but I'm not going to call it lame as I feel that just insults those who find value in it. It's a personal thing, not harming me.

Moose was pounding on the glass last night.. They didn't toss him. 🙂

Well that was a fun game to attend! Good thing Woll's first name doesn't begin with an A. Because he was. He looked terrible all night. Marlies are some cheap MoFos too.. glad to see them get swept. Now to get my voice to recover in time for meetings tomorrow.

Hah.. F me.. I bought two tickets earlier today and didn't have time to check the site. Oh well.

Queue up Houston or KC. Can't put a team in Atlanta without disrupting the balance. Finally time to call it a failure in the desert.. perhaps they should have initiated the trade of Matthews to the Coyotes before they put the referendum up? 🙂

Circling back to private owned corps, etc. It really doesn't matter. Terry Pegula answers to the NFL. So, even if Terry Pegula wanted to go his own way, the NFL and respective owners get to chime in as well. Everyone answers to someone else. Everyone.

Have you seen Idiocracy? The world is not trending in the way you'd like. You can see it on here every time there is a controversial topic and anyone suggests "wait and see". That's just one small community. You can want what you want, but in the moment, each business has to do what they have to do to stay alive. I'd much prefer people dial it down and take a more measured and rational approach to things. But I am also seasoned enough to know that it's not going to happen and I can choose to make the most of my limited lifetime on this planet and be as happy as possible or I can put myself into misery and battle everyone who refuses to get off the jump to conclusions mat.

Let me know when you find utopia. Let's say the Buffalo Bills take your course of action. Then what? Is it reasonable to expect that they will face significant business hurdles? Lost sponsorships and endorsements? Let's assume they take a $5M revenue hit for the season. The owner is probably not eating that. How many jobs are then cut because the Bills need to cut payroll? Do those people care about the punter being guilty or not or are they busy trying to find a job, in a bad economy, to pay the bills and feed their families? And for what? the "Punt God" has been proven innocent and can go pursue his career signing an entry level NFL deal that probably pays more salary than the people who lost their jobs. You can isolate an incident and make it sound like the decision is easy. Unfortunately for every action there are usually many, many, many, reactions. As I said, the people to blame for this are the people themselves. Society makes the reality that we all have to live in. Whether we like it or not.

What a great response you had.. telling me No. I'll infer from your unbolded response that you are still willing to gamble others money.. not your own. You'd be out of business in a heartbeat. If that's okay by you, then so be it. Principles don't pay the bills. Rage against the people, the machine is just a construct of theirs.

The draft lottery itself is a joke. Therefore, any show or coverage or "drama" around it is starting a joke level and will only get worse. Just stop with the farce.

This is very easy to say when it's not your reputation as an owner on the line and your money at stake. The blame you are seeking rests at the feet of the lynch mob society we have created. They have to operate their organization in accordance. The news is one piece, but society itself is the real problem. The information age created the age of instant judgment. A news organization that takes it time to report will end up out of business. Why? Because society demands instant information, the accuracy is not relevant. Imagine, this long after the original charges were filed the truth comes out. What news organization was going to wait this long? None. People don't want to hear rational opposition. They don't want to wait to pass judgment because they have to move on to the next thing. We're the reasons these things happen. Not the organizations that make money from being relevant to those people... they are just being business owners.

I think the "build a young team of talented players" works better than whatever Toronto is trying. And for what it's worth, until the Leafs win a Cup they will have a longer cup drought than the Sabres. After awhile, being the 5th bridesmaid gets annoying.

I'm not blown away. It just seems to lack any one note that I can cling to. It's clean, I give it that. At that price point I am expecting more and it just doesn't have it. I'd like to see what I think in a blind tasting.

Last night was the first fire of the season... paired with Macallan 12 Sherry Cask and then some Rabbit Hole Cavehill. A very good time.

Word... a word. That's about right for Sutter's media style. I loved his press conferences. He's past his prime as a coach.

To each their own. I have enough bags to carry in my own life without worrying about lugging that kind of crap around. I don't teach history, so I'm not worried about what happened in it. The past is in the past....

Kind of like.. "Anything you can do, I can do way the F better?" 🙂 The dude is flat out the best player in hockey. I used to want to argue it... but I just can't any longer.

I had value? 🤔

There's a few posters around here whose first few years have not lived up to expectations. Given the prevailing forum standards used on hockey players they should be gone. They are busts.

Minus the tweet game I presume... I don't even follow those kinds of things and I seem to always hear something about Hill's tweets.

No.. because it made you post it here and share with us.. so now we have to deal with your moron co-worker. 🙂 But do they mean he scores the greatest goals or that he scores the most goals? What is greatest? That said, pretty sure the answer to both is no. The greatest scorer in the NHL is Connor McDavid. I'm not sure how anyone debates this point.

I suppose. There are 22 homes on my street of 1.5 miles. Certainly not rural although there are multiple lots that are 40+ acres on my street. It's definitely not densely populated. I also like having an actual gas line, although when the house was originally built in 1987 there were no gas lines on the street. All septic in this area as well. I'm not in the Pittsford area of Mendon. 🙂

Yeah.. i'm not saying that's a given. I'm all too familiar with the opposite direction. I was just saying that I live in a sparsely populated area there there is a lot of pride in the property. Yeah.. very common. Hell, in HFL there's a house right on main street that would be really nice.. except for the front yard parking lot dominated by a truck with what seems like a 4 foot lift kit. 4 cars on the lawn, 0 in the driveway.. all the time.

An HOA is an absolute no on any property I will ever own. I'm not sure I've ever heard a positive story about one. I suppose if its making others keep up their homes that COULD be a positive. Of course, I prefer to live in areas that are sparsely populated and those who do live in the area are likely to have a high pride value in their property such that it will not be in decline. I don't even want someone cutting my lawn... damn.

The real question is how long before a bidet is installed.
