There’s no need to. I didn’t know it until I googled it like a year ago. Where do any words come from? Who cares. We know what they mean. Sometimes we don’t but then we learn.

Agreed, to an extent. It was a horrible day. We’ve committed several atrocities worse than what happened that day, both before and since. I believe there are stories worth telling and worth consuming from that time, and I believe those still working with some form of grief or stress should consider seeking platforms to do so.

Dragon Fly?

I know you’re main gripe seems to be with the removal of “up” from washed up but the term originated over 100 years ago and refers to someone in theatre who has left the stage and washed off their makeup, thus no longer being able to perform. Language is fluid and the ability to quickly learn new or modified terms is a talent of note for a country where most only know one language.

Agreed completely.

Aaron Rodgers completely ***** himself against the Bucs when he had a chance to win the game late. Missed two easy passes to Adams that would’ve won the game.

My lord dude. You really could have just … not decided to pick a fight.

Portland Winterhawks of the WHL dropped the Native American imagery from their logo and jerseys. Here is the first look at their new jerseys. A closer look at their logo shows an awesome detail: the grey neck feathers are actually showcasing Mount Hood in Oregon.

9/11. A day everyone here that's old enough remembers. It's officially been twenty years since a moment that changed the country forever. A lot of people remember a nation that united together afterwards. Some united in pride. Some united in fear. Others united to aim hate at those who deserved nothing but their love. Share your thoughts.

Not a great time for Robbie Ray to get smacked if he’s trying to win the Cy Young. Gave up 8 hits and 3 runs to a bad Orioles team. Going to be an interesting finish to that race. Feels like Gerrit Cole probably still leads because he’s a Yankee and that carries wait for some stupid reason. Lance Lynn could also take it - he just returned from the IL.

Beautiful

Considering both cost them about $2M total I doubt this is accurate at all but

Yes.

First Take is the worst sports show on television. The entire purpose of it is to piss off viewers enough to engage with it.

He's a huge car guy and has had cars on his masks in the past so methinks it's a nod to that.

This is pretty

Ooh, that seems to be some big news. Hopefully the dam breaks.

Nathan Gerbe had hip surgery and is out 4-6 months.

Russell Salvatore did it in 2010 and 2012.

Yes. They can worry about more than one thing at once. I know from experience. I worry about hundreds of things simultaneously.

I don’t think GMs are sitting there texting each other “oh my god, Adams didn’t accept when I offered X, X and X” but I believe GMs around the league can be frustrated by the bad press this situation has brought to the team and, more importantly, the league. I also think they can view it as a sore mishandling by the Sabres. I know the general vibe on this board has been that Adams is playing this masterfully and that what has transpired over the last year or so is not his fault but I think he’s being let off the hook purely because of how green he is. Until this deal is done and until the team moves forward successfully I will continue to believe the team is failing harshly here and I believe many executives in the league have a similar thought.

This is possible, but I also think there is a greater than zero chance of this whole ordeal reflecting poorly on Adams across the league.

I think college had a lot to do with it. Way more fun enjoying a drunk Sunday than trying to catch games on random weeknights when the team was garbage and I had work to do.

He's got six years left, not two.

There’s no buying low on a guy with that contract. You’re paying a premium one way or the other. Teams aren’t paying $6.4M for a 1B. It should also be noted that Gibson has a modified no trade clause.
