The last two episodes have been some of the television I have seen in a long long time. Peter Dinklage has been outstanding since Tyrion has hit Mereen. He should get an Emmy. His conversations with Daenerys as well as with the masters were wonderfully done. Well done. I am sad that there will only be 13 more episodes.

Was the Stanford rapist not available?

I can't imagine that the founding fathers would consider this congress a success. This congress can't even achieve a minimal level of "functional", they are a few election cycles away from being anywhere near efficient.

I would think that Congress becoming so dysfunctional and inept under Republican control would be a far greater concern for the founding fathers.

Nothing went wrong, he got as far as he did on talent alone. When it came to a point where he needed to bring more to the rink than just talent, he couldn't or didn't know how.

A couple of important rulings today from the Supreme Court on Abortion and Gun Control. Once Clinton has her court nominee in place we will see some real progress made by this court.

I heard Coller's little tirade at the time, talking about how the last four Stanley Cup Champions have been at or near the top of the possession stats. There are many ways to look at things as we have discussed over the years. Coller believes that the possession stats are telling. I believe that it is more telling that there have only been 4 different Stanley Cup Champions out of the last eight Champions. The Blackhawks, Kings, Penguins and Bruins. I would say odds would indicate that next years Champion will come from that group. I'm sure the Penguins and Blackhawks will top most lists as odds on favorites to hoist the Cup. I guess my question is, do these teams have favorable possession stats by design or do they just happen to have a ton of talent that allows them to control the puck? Do the Sabres chances of getting to the top of the NHL in possession stats fall on a player like Pysyk or does it fall on Eichel, O'Rielly and Reinhart?

George Will is now my favorite ex-republican. ;) http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/06/26/george-will-why-hes-leaving-republican-party-over-donald-trump-fox-news-sunday

Unless I missed something, Cam Fowler is still an option, is he not? One way or another I believe Murray adds another top six forward and a top four defense-man.

When Texas does leave the Union, they must forfeit all major sports championships won to the second place finishers!

This is like it's from a bad movie! https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/a-texas-mom-shot-dead-her-daughters-in-the-street-before-she?utm_term=.woQ1Zw0mn#.lk7OrJ2Dp

Rumors become fact. No one ever said it was fair, guys like Kane, young celebrities/millionaires, just live in a different world with targets on their backs most of the time. He needs to either smarten up or hire himself a babysitter to keep him from certain situations. Just heading out to a bar/club is too much of a risk for the young man.

Don't you think legal fees and lawsuits would drain his money much faster?

As I said, it doesn't matter to me if Kane is at fault or not. These young aesthetes have to realize they are targets. They can afford to shield themselves form the general public if the choose to. Want to go to a club? Rent out a private room with security. Kane is 24 years old and has already been through an incident that he apparently hadn't learned anything from. Any incident going forward is all on Kane no matter what the other person does or what their intentions are.

In Tim Murray I trust. Know nothing about this kid except for what I will be reading after the fact.

Kulikov is far more physical than Pysyk, which I will guess goes with be a lefty as the primary reasons for the Sabres interest.

O'Reilly can afford Uber or some other car service. If O'Reilly ends up in another similar situation you have to wonder how smart the guy is. After the previous incident, you are telling me that Kane can't through a sick party at his home? With his money he should have a bar in his home sicker than any Buffalo area nightclub and he would be able to control who the guests are. It's about being smart. Another incident involving the police is a huge embarrassment for this franchise. I believe last time he stated he was going to be smarter. Apparently not.

A very nice trade. Who was it that was upset when the Sabres passed on Kulikov in the draft?

For the life of me I will never understand why players continue to put themselves at risk. If can was targeted or initiated an altercation doesn't even matter IMO. Putting yourself at risk shows immaturity and a lack of understanding of your status as a professional athlete. If Kane hasn't grown up by now after the previous incidents than maybe he never will and it's time to move on.

We all want a Stanley Cup. The problem is that I am not sure the 50-60 goal Steven Stamkos even exists anymore. $11-12 mil over seven years is a potentially crippling contract.

I saw a story that Texas Conservatives want to secede from the United Sates? Suddenly that wall doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

If Trump is in Scotland, can we put him on some terrorist watch list and prevent his re-entry into the United States?

Who looks for a "top nine" forward? Maybe this should be a reminder that most mega free agent contracts don't work out. Look at all those who can't wait to see the Sabres through $12 mil a year at Stamkos. Those contracts most always end in regret.

Well, that's very "presidential" :doh:

Why is Donald Trump in Scotland? Does he know they don't vote in our elections? I know the United States and United Kingdom can get a bit confusing!
