As long as the Bills clean out the Fish Tank every year, I'm good with that.

You'd be amazed at how much space a Chihuahua will take up.

It would have been great for Buffalo sports to go 2-0 this weekend. Can't win 'em all.

Finish a book that I started reading...several years ago.

And it doesn't matter how big they are, either. We have a Yorkie that was rescued from a puppy mill, and a toy Chihuahua.

The problem I have with getting rid of Brian Daboll is the past success he had with the Patriots and the Crimson Tide. I understand that some of you are way more inside football than I am. It just seems to me that he should either work with what he has, or we need to get a better WR (which I totally agree with). Having said all that, it was fun to see that the Titans beat the Patriots. To me, Derrick Henry is a very underrated RB. I saw him play in the Iron Bowl a few years ago at Jordan-Hare. He turned Auburn's D into swiss cheese, and he wound up winning the Heisman trophy for that season. As for Houston, there's no way they're going to win next week. It's just not going to happen.

You might not remember me since I was handed down a temporary suspension late in 2012 (which, at the time, I refused to accept because I thought back then that it was purely arbitrary). But, as I said earlier, a lot has happened since then. Everyone who has read this thread now understands what happened.

Well, admittedly, I didn't. Then again, I spent a considerable amount of time away from here. Now I need to get caught up back to speed.

It's definitely not his style. He HATES to lose, regardless of the circumstances.

I forget who the Nationals manager is. I think the umpire tossed him in Game 6 of the 2019 WS. He clearly turned the other cheek after the game and refused to criticize the officiating. The rest is history.

What is Frolik's +/- this season?

IIRC, isn't Deslauriers an enforcer with the Ducks now?

I thought the change in schedule made perfect sense.

Oh, and BTW: I deeply appreciate everyone's support on here with regard to welcoming me back and with my issues. You don't know how much this means to me. Regardless of how we all think, we are all #SabresMafia.

I don't remember exactly what I said all those years ago that caused you to put me on Ignore, but I'm sure it was justified. You're probably not alone in that department. Having said that, I haven't seen Scott (SDS) on here. My deepest apologies to him as well. He politely warned me several times to not go into non-hockey related stuff that was sure to cause agitation and aggravation. In the meantime, I need to ask for a small favor. I want to change my username back to Crosschecking, since that's what most of you knew me by in the past. Plus, I need to change out my avatar as well.

I'm going to say this not from a position of authority, but from a position of experience. If any of you know someone close to you who is suffering from mental issues/illnesses, don't be afraid to help them. At the very least, give them some friendly counsel or advice. If it wasn't for my wife going to my pastor (at the time), nothing would have improved. He did not claim to be a mental health professional, but he guessed what it might have been and advised me to get the ball rolling. Having said that, when they go to seek professional help, help them choose wisely - and that goes for both the psychiatrist AND the licensed counselor. My preliminary doctor and counselor helped me to get going in the right direction, but the ones I'm seeing now are a perfect fit for me.

Is DeLuca67 still on here?

Yes, sir.

I'm on the mend. I have a much greater degree of empathy with people who struggle with mental health issues. Before that, my empathy was nonexistent because I was living in denial.

Must be someone else you guys are referring to whom I have no recollection of.

Thanks. I took my lumps and had several helpings of humble pie away from the Aud Club.

We'll take the extra point TYVM.

Ugh! I hate OT...

Well, if it seems like I'm being a bit hard on myself, so be it. I can be very introspective. It's a long story, and I don't want to divulge much of it. But even when I received my suspension late in 2012, I chose not to acknowledge it. Little did I know about my underlying personal issues. TBH, I needed the time away from here.

For some reason, the other day, I got into a GGD mood:
