  1. Samson? I was pretty happy with the GWG. No power plays limited him otherwise.
  2. John Bogle (old vanguard) says the stock market may only return 4% a year for the next decade. As opposed to the 7% standard. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/john-bogle-says-you-wont-make-much-money-from-stocks-2015-11-05?dist=beforebell That means for many of you young guys, you need to get out of high fee 401k and 403b management that will often take up to 2% in fees and wraps. And it means you better start saving earlier. In numbers 100,000 at 7.2% over 10 years is 200,000 100,000 at 4% over 10 years is 148,000 But if you are in high fee management and they are taking a 1% wrap and adding 1% in hidden fees you are down to 2% 100,000 at 2% over 10 years is a frighteningly low 121,000 and add inflation, and you've lost.
  3. This game is a great reality check. The Sabres were mostly outplayed by the Islanders and won. (which is a great road win). But Tampa is really a very complete team. Hedman didn't play last time these teams met. Stamkos-Hedman-Bishop that's a pretty good top 3. A win here would go a long way, and with Tampa being 6-6-2 this is a 4 pt. game.
  4. How do you know he's getting the start ?
  5. I'm pretty sure it was of irish gaelic origin first. Lots of Mcdavid's in WNY/NPA
  6. How did the Hebrew name David get to Ireland anyway?
  7. I guess you are intent to try to annoy me or others by announcing you have nothing to say and then posting 10 hr. clips. I don't get it, but I do think it is intentionally being rude to the community wanting to discuss it.
  8. It certainly has its rewards. I don't think I could read many of the details of the whaling chapters again with pleasure, however.
  9. it looks like you are not done. You had at least 2 meaningless posts to contribute.
  10. This is disrespectful to Connor. Games should be cancelled.
  11. In the Sinai there are no good targets.
  12. So it was a bomb that brought down the Russian Airliner. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/11/04/evidence-indicates-bomb-brought-down-russian-airliner-nbc-news-citing-us-official.html This is going to get interesting.
  13. Fingerless and toeless "Stumpy" McDavid is still probably good for 30 goals, 30 assists.
  14. lower body injury. The player gets scratched or just Tape an aspirin to it.
  15. Some of the ugliest human behavior I've seen has often been on the sidelines of soccer games.
  16. we hope he never scores again, we wish him a short career because we don't like his style, we hope he loses every fight he's in. We don't hope he becomes paralyzed, brain addled with unchecked syphillis, financially ruined, with an exit like boogaard. In the end it is the game that makes me happy. The wins are fleeting. Even cups I suspect are fleeting....but I wouldn't know. But I have that sense from those that have won them.
  17. <voice of Vader>. You may take Chris Kelly to Jabba the Hutt once you have delivered to me young McDavid Skywalker.
  18. That looks like a career ender for a 34 year old 3rd/4th liner.
  19. I want to see McDavid succeed. Good for the game, and he's out west.
  20. If you see KARMA on the ice, head for the bench. He's got ham hocks for hands and will throw.
  21. Good questions. I was actually in a cab once that was totaled by an ambulance in an intersection. Me being younger me, simply walked my concussed head into the nearest bar and had some beer.
