I like them. It's like they came out of a Buck Rogers time warp.

Don't you know anything about jinxes? Just keep quiet.

Ah, well, that seems to be a problem.

Alright, a player that might contribute and solidify the goaltending so that Levi has a manageable workload for the regular season and can therefore play most of the playoffs. That was my thought; I hope that clarifies it for you.

Might not be, but that is a different point than an assertion about a particular game. If you mean the above, say that. Everyone is hoping he becomes the player we saw tonight.

He wasn't lucky. If anything, the goals were a bit unlucky. Guy plays great, give the fella credit. No one has trouble knocking him when he's bad.

I always respect a man who wears a chicken for a hat.

It was just a joke, but as it happens, my elderly mother is rather that sort. Sorry if it offends you.

I'm checking with my Evangelical friends if that is a sign of the apocalypse.

Both McD and Granato are admirable human beings. You want them to succeed, and I hope they do. In the contemporary NFL, the trend line is to hire an offensive minded HC. The league is never going to return to the old blood-and-guts days where RB is the premier position and defenses can consistently dominate. You don't want to have to continually replace OC. In our case, Dorsey is more competent, I think, than his critics admit, though the shotgun runs on third and short are infuriating. We've had some devastating injuries on one side of the ball. Nonetheless, McD is wasting prime years of a franchise qb. Josh Allen not winning a SB in Buffalo would be an absolute travesty. I think if things implode this year, Pegula may be forced to make a change. I still think there is an outside chance they get it together and make a run. Pimlach's take on Granato is right on the money, imo.

What's wrong with you? It's Sunday morning. And why don't you show a modicum of restraint and decency. A young man has died and you want to crow? You grow up.

Extreme boredom. I am a novelist in my spare time.

There aren't any good options. After yesterday, I'm starting to believe that God hates the Buffalo Bills. Went from a solid SB contender to a team that will struggle to make the wild card, imo. The single worst day for injuries I can recollect in over 50 years of watching the team. The last two weeks has just devastated what was shaping up to be a really superior D.

Lots of folks can't find their wallets.

I see you're related to William of Occam. I believe Sherlock Holmes was a lifelong bachelor and fictional character, but maybe him, too.

I don't buy it. I don't think Dahlin is uncertain about the future of the team. He's part of it, he knows the pipeline is filled with young and emerging talent. The holdup is calculating term when the cap is likely going to escalate and payoff if you're not locked in for eight years.

I hope Elam has gotten enough confidence back to play man coverage, because they need his speed to cover Hill. He's their best press cb, so unless Elam is a total lost cause, I expect he will not be a healthy scratch on Sunday. Miami's oline is not great, but Tua is getting rid of the ball so quickly. The scheme is helping them. Have to find a way to make him hesitate just a bit. I think if that happens, the Dline will cause him problems. Still not confident about how Dorsey is calling a game. I am glad that he is genuinely incorporating the rbs, though. Cook, Murray, and Harris each bring something to the table. I think Cook could be a star, actually, but I am a biased UGA fan. I hope Kincaid gets more play than last week. We need those yards out of the slot position. Overall, I am cautiously optimistic. Folks are going to hype Miami after 70. The Broncos are bad and they gave up. It should be a different story against a D that is starting to hit on all cylinders.

I hate those Fife-Flyers almost as much as I hate the Bruins. Nasty, thuggish brutes. No taste in single-malt Scotch.

If it is a penalty, according to the proposal, a goal is awarded. Don't know about judgement calls, but that is the trouble spot in the idea. Right now, it's either a goal or not. I think the idea here is terrific and it closes down the excessive slow play (though I don't mind that when it benefits the Sabres, I'm fickle that way), but now you introduce a gray area and I don't generally want to let a ref's interpretation intrude if you can avoid it.

Very nicely done. I agree with pretty much all of his aesthetic judgments.

I don't have high hopes for Bernard, but it appears they thought of him as a real consideration at MLB. The hamstring injury early on has kept him out the entire preseason. We'll have to see if he can play better than most expect. Dodson had his best game against the Bears, which isn't a high bar. They should have brought in a free agent who can at least play the position at NFL mediocre level. Maybe someone will shake loose after the cutdowns, but it's not a great situation. Elam was never a good fit for what McD typically asks of his corners. I think it's up to the coaching staff to find a way to use him to his strengths. They've tried to turn him into a different player and now he has regressed because he's thinking too much and has lost confidence. That's on Beane and McD more than the player, imo. 2022 looks like a terrible draft, though I believe Cook is going to be solid. 2023 appears promising. Kincaid and Torrence could both turn out well. Overall, Beane needs to hit more, especially on day 2 picks. The Bills are still a very strong team. MLB, OT depth, and QB2 ought to be where one hopes they can scavenge some kind of improvement through trade or waiver pick ups.

If you execute them, everyone respects you, but it's harder to sign free agents.
