  1. Any particular reason? (if you don't mind a curious friend asking :) )
  2. Ouch. Strome is 30th in games played (18) for his draft year. A year that included: McDavid, Eichel, Marner, Hanifin, Proverov, Werenski, Rantanen, Aho, Boesser, Connor, Barzal. I'm still hoping for good things for him in the desert. But man, they deserved Eichel. Or Matthews if his birthday came a wee bit earlier.
  3. Others can probably be more helpful here- I have borrowed my in-laws GoPro a couple times but only dabbled with quick footage. Main reason: the battery life is horrendous. I don't know if they just got a lemon, or the battery issue is rampant. But I would suggest you invest in backup batteries. Nothing worse than missing your footage because you're already up on the mountain when "low-battery" starts flashing.
  4. My company HQ are in Los Angeles. I uber everywhere when I go out there. For just a couple days it is cheaper and less hassle than renting a car. Also, who wants to drive in LA traffic?? It seems that uber fairs are the same there as they are in Columbus. The cost of living, however, most certainly is not the same as Columbus. I’m assuming uber doesn’t adjust their rates based on location. So that makes me wonder... If Ink exclusively drives during surge pricing just to scrape up some bonus cash, what the hell are these drivers in LA getting out of it? It has to be between jobs to make ends meet, I guess?
  5. LOL, Pecan Subban is my new favorite Rayzor flub
  6. One is a Finn, one is a Swede
  7. No, it’s not. https://www.nhl.com/news/san-jose-sharks-prospect-watch/c-290741928
  8. Casey Mittelstadt has a younger brother, you know
  9. Nick Foles plans to become a pastor after football.....
  10. Food for thought... Browns tried to trade a 2nd and 3rd round pick for McCarron. They only gave up a third to get Tyrod. Contract obviously comes into play in these valuations. But still, interesting how things came full circle. Browns wanted McCarron. Their execs celebrated the agreement like it was their first win in 2 years (oh wait...) and didn't put the call in in time. They later got Tyrod instead. McCarron comes to Buffalo to replace Tyrod... Full circle, people. Full circle around the wagons ;)
  11. Shady and Tyrod are really close. Swapping Tyrod for McCarron could motivate that tweet from Shady. But who knows. I don’t read too much into athlete tweets because it’s all cryptic and emotional. Edit to add: people on Twitter think he’s talking about Bell
  12. Yeah, I thought they’d be a 12. And Arizona is one hell of a 4 seed. Definitely an unfortunate draw.
  13. Vic Carucci‏Verified account @viccarucci 10m10 minutes agoMore I've been told the #Bills' signing of FA DE Trent Murphy does not impact the status of Jerry Hughes whatsoever. Vic Carucci‏Verified account @viccarucci 4m4 minutes agoMore To answer the questions that have followed my tweet about Jerry Hughes staying put with Trent Murphy addition, the same goes for Shaq Lawson. #Bills want as much DE depth as possible.
  14. Joe Thomas announced his retirement today... Probably was afraid that Tyrod would affect his sacks-allowed numbers :P
  15. Didn't see it posted earlier.. McCarron has an offer on the table from New England. Kirk Minihane‏Verified account@kirkminFollowFollow @kirkmin More Patriots have made a contract offer to A.J. McCarron, per source. https://sports.yahoo.com/report-patriots-offered-deal-j-120651782.html
  16. "Last four in" doesn't necessarily mean "worst four to make it." St. Bonaventure got an at-large bid. Lots of other schools get the automatic bid by winning their mid-major conference. But they're worse than St. Bonaventure, Cuse, ASU, UCLA, etc. Which means they are rightfully seeded lower. The Bonnies were one of the last 4 at-large bids. There might be a better way to explain that. But that's what I've got!
  17. Well, it's down to McCarron, Teddy B, and McCown as starter-worthy QBs (in the short term, anyway). And just the Bills and Jets looking for a starter. I hope we get Teddy over them. I really hope so
  18. Dancing 3 of the past 4 years.. Go Bulls! I have no hard feelings for Hurley. Good for him to move on up when he did. But ASU hasn’t made the tourney yet under his watch. They’re a bubble team today. Makes me feel pretty good about Oats.
  19. Lol, imagine the refs rewatching the entire game on their little iPads
  20. Another bottleneck would be the technology gap. My grandma hasn't driven in 15 years and could certainly use a service like this. But she also has never held a smartphone. Her knowledge of the internet doesn't span beyond Facebook, which she calls "Spacebook." She's not summoning a ride on her phone like we are. She would need someone else to do it for her, or have a call-in service.
  21. Agreed, it seems like a big opportunity. Uber would just have to come up with a list of acceptable vehicles. They assuredly already have enough drivers whose vehicles are eligible. It's not even like they need to add any new drivers. The "infrastructure" already exists. They just would need to market it. And probably not even to the elderly that would use it. Market it to their kids that are otherwise transporting them. They already know and trust Uber. Let them convince their parents instead of launching a daytime TV marketing campaign!!
  22. Uber already has all the different ride types: UberX (normal), UberXL (6+ passengers), Uber Select (luxury vehicles), Uber Black (what are you, secret service?) The company has lists of approved vehicles for each category. They could vet vehicles and put together a list of approved, accessible vehicles. UberSenior? UberAccessible? That's actually a really, really cool idea.
  23. Bills wide receiver. He was a rookie last year and really struggled.
  24. He should do the ceremonial puck drop since, ya know, drops are his thing :P I actually really like Zay, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Cool that he's in Buffalo and catching a game!
