I’m sorry but “proactive” and “paradigm,” aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? I’m fired, aren’t I.

Jeez it was that easy? We’ve been chasing a 2C forever and Adams just strolls in and asks, “Well has anyone checked the bargain bin at Kohl’s?”

I’m considering an internal cap on the amount of Sabres hockey I watch.

Zombie thread!

Should I feel bad about being left out of this clique? I don’t. But none of you are invited to my barbecue just FYI.

And there’s the Good Bogo, right on cue.

Bogosian breaking his stick and wiping out leading to a goal. Dude is just kind of a klutz.

I guess it may depend on the hammer?

Agreed. At this point he is a shootout specialist and that’s it. He can’t play against actual defenders.

Not for nothing, for years he’s been posting IG photos of him and his buddies hanging out - and he’s either wearing a shirt or has his arms folded over his torso. IMO it’s because he is trying to hide from his coaches that he doesn’t work out enough, it’s clear when you watch him he lacks functional strength. It’s a joke he was 2C at one point. He looks so out of place out there - he looks like I did when I would wear my dad’s suit to elementary school on “dress up like your parent day.”

“Easier” is putting it mildly. Go tell a single working mother of four in the inner city, who barely has an hour to herself all day, clips coupons and uses food stamps, and who is scared to death about paying the rent every month and keeping her kids from getting arrested or shot, to “grab some seeds and start a community garden.” PLEASE. Some of the takes here are so disconnected from reality...

That’s half right, and half tone deaf/divorced from all reality/obtuse.

Corn subsidies are almost 100% of the problem though. We subsidize obesity in this country because of Depression-era efforts to prop up small-time farmers.

It’s really challenging to talk about the biggest public health crisis in this country in 100 years without talking about the “public” portion of it...

Fun time to be alive.

Between that and the lawsuit, his media career is over. Nobody is going to hire a guy who says reckless crap in clear violation of their media policy and then sues his employer for enforcing its policy against him. Right or wrong, he’s unhirable.

His goal is not to win the lawsuit (he won’t), it’s to embarrass NBC and his former co-workers. Dude is such a tool, one of the biggest hosers ever.

My buddy and I have a running text chain going back over a year where we make up names of guys who probably worked on building the Erie Canal. Jeremiah Crowe will be this week’s entry for me!

Year after year the NHL Draft Lottery amazes me in its awkwardness - a bunch of old white men in suits sitting on stools pinning their hopes to numbered lottery balls. I can't believe they haven't updated the format, especially this year, with everything going on in the world. It's such an incongruent display of nonsense. What's the plan for Friday night, a Zoom gallery view format?

Was it agent-driven? That’s the only reason to care.

Excuse me, maybe you weren't paying attention when they explained it? They see things that we, as fans, do not. Ok? Now shut up and open your wallet.

Accountability is much easier in a small organization - there is nobody to shift the blame to. Misspelled jerseys on alumni night? Now you’ll know exactly whose fault it is. Same thing applies to the personnel side. Funny enough, many of us were saying “burn the whole thing down” during the last two years and now we got our wish and folks are still upset. PSE was a bloated, directionless gravy train filled with cush jobs, legacy hires, and seemingly unfireable lifers. Now, at the very least, everyone knows there are actual consequences to not doing your job well. Like any other well-run business, in theory. I’m not optimistic or pessimistic but I prefer this approach to the status quo.

A prospect who can't even do a pull-up! <Ducks>

Does this make Adams = Pol Pot?

“I can’t understand what’s happening, so I’ll just blame the constant.”
