  1. This is true, but unfortunately, KA is like this about the prospects.
  2. No doubt, you have to work with people shaped by the times, or retreat to the farm like Cincinnatus. (I live on a farm, and work remotely.) Unfortunately, it's evident Terry Pegula does not have the acumen to solve the problems his own agency has largely produced. What is utterly lacking is prudential wisdom, which is the capacity to judge what is best for a unique, particular circumstance.
  3. I am the greybeard on a project with a bunch of the Woke types. The juvenile behavior and sense of entitlement is remarkable, and that is not a simple reflection of youth. The culture is damaged in significant ways, and one sees the "snowflake" vibe in a lot of habitual attitudes in an entire generation.
  4. Chocolate cake, beer, and salt are good for you. They've been lying to us for years.
  5. Cloning Mitts is an interesting idea. Maybe they will then trade him, and play him on the 2nd and 3rd lines. I suppose you mean Cozens will play better if he wears Mitts' jersey. I dunno, maybe it will work.
  6. Either that, or one or both of them will suddenly be rejuvenated, they make the playoffs, through the usual Sabre factor in the known universe, the traded Sabre is supernaturally elevated in the post-season, wins the Cup, and is awarded the Conn Smythe.
  7. The problem with the truly stupid is that they don't know that they don't know. What is exasperating is the combination of stubbornness and apparent apathy.
  8. Who is going to want to take that cap hit off our hands, and I don't want to pay someone else to take him? I think the best hope with Diggs is that injuries affected the second half of the season, and that he returns to something approximating prior form. He's not the player he was a few years ago, obviously. They need to add a WR early that can grow into a #1, and then at least one more with plus talent. I think Brian Thomas, Legette, maybe Franklin and Worthy are the best options early. I like Mitchell, too, but he lacks explosive burst, and I recently read there are some character and injury concerns with him. There are a lot of day 2 receivers that are appealing. It's a deep draft at the position, so no excuse not to give Josh more and better weapons. My secret luxury pick, I'd love to get Braelon Allen, a huge power back, at #99.
  9. I'd be surprised, but I suppose it is possible. But I don't think it will come to that. Folks in Buffalo will come with pitchforks for the whole bunch at OBD if that happens.
  10. He might be there at #28. I don't know about his character flaws, but I'll take your word for it. Lot of WR talent in this draft. I think we need to grab several, and one in the first. McD will be tempted to go DL, but they have to prioritize giving Josh premier weapons. He doesn't have the top-flight speed, but Adonai Mitchell is another big receiver I like. He catches everything, so he's an immediate upgrade over Gabe Davis.
  11. I really like him, but I can't see Beane spending the draft capital to make it happen.
  12. I think he's too qualified for Terry P. to consider, but the nostalgia streak might countervail the resistance to professional competence. Anyway, I vote yes.
  13. 1964, a popular year in these parts
  14. We broke them. They used up all their zebra karma and good fortune against us.
  15. First minute goal for the good guys. I must have glitched into alternate universe.
  16. I mean, it would be hard to go through a season without that happening at least a few times. I think they should try it
  17. Coaching is a concern, isn't it? I'll be happy to see the second half justify the high hopes. Lot of youth on the team, the veterans are not gritty guys with something left in the tank, and the coaching staff continues to leave glaring deficiencies unaddressed. So, I'll be surprised if it happens, but glad if it does.
  18. Sigh. This sounds persuasive. It's probably right, though Comrie has not looked good since coming back from injury, and can't seem to stay healthy.
  19. That healthy Comrie thing has not been a common feature of his tenure here. I think Thorny has it right. Levi can get his reps in Buffalo. If he struggles, you can always send him back to Rochester.
  20. I haven't read the article, so this may be incorrect. My understanding is that McD made his exceedingly unfortunate analogy in 2019. It's the journalist who is bringing it to light just now. There's a difference, imo, between a boneheaded rhetorical choice and the ideologically motivated actions of Ivy League presidents. One is inept, the other is much more reflective of entrenched opinions.
  21. Good thing I'm already a melancholic by nature, because otherwise I'd be blaming you fellas for the sadness. Every time I think there's light at the end of the tunnel with this team, turns out it's just a train coming to crush the hope.
  22. No there isn't. He's just Jed Clampett.
  23. I'd like to agree, but I still think the folks who agree with me are smarter.
