Night Train

In the pre-draft presser, Beane stated he would turn to post draft FA if needs were't filled. Just an FYI, if you Google the current vet FA list, it's still quite long at most positions. Many have done things before. The post draft presser had more than a few questions to him concerning WR. He used this venue to take a general dig at the press as a whole, including the morning dopes on WGR. Brought up the Wrong Josh chant in 2018, which was very real. I was at that 2018 Bills draft party at the fieldhouse when booing and chanting in response to the Allen pick was somewhat loud. The locals kept that alive for a while. Moore of Cleveland was here today... had 61 catches last year. I don't want another rookie. Coleman is still basically new. Samuel was hurt the whole year until December. Then showed a bit. Palmer just signed. Shakir gets deserving slot $. Bills were 29th in getting off the field on 3rd down. Horrid. So Philly D wins the SB and Beane drafts in accordance with being sober.

The DT from Kentucky is officially 6-7 and 345 lbs. Wow. Under hobbies, he listed BUFFETS as his favorite.

A monster NG to back up Jones in round 4. So far, so good.

Beane presser explains it. He's a interior strong 3 tech rather than massive NG type everyone projected Bills to take . Blowback. Ourlads scouting service had him as #5 at DT with a late 1st and 2nd round grade. 4 guys rated ahead of him went high in the 1st round. The #6 guy ranked behind him was Williams of Ohio St. who went #29 overall right before we took our CB. 3rd round pick had a 2nd -3rd round grade. IIRC correctly, Beane realizes he still needs to find a Jones backup in that NG mold. The highest ranked ones were all selected early. Day 3 coming up.

I'm working on my billboard..

The stupid 7 year contracts handed out like Halloween candy. Bridge deals be damned. Cozens, Muel after 50 games..Power after 1 year. .beyond stupid. Sabres 3rd highest in paying D-men and Byram needs a deal ? Does it ever end ? Non physical tin men everywhere. I guess they can work on upgrading the arena even during games, with all the empty seats. Change or vanish.

Mets, Knicks and Jets won it all. Heck of a year for NYC. Trottier totaled 100 goals in his last 2 years with the Bisons. Loved him.

Agreed but that trade and the Cozens deal were not the big trades many locals made it out to be. Byram was up and down but Mitts was traded again after being extended and was a -29 on the year. Cozens was addition by subtraction with his bad D and horrid contract and Sabres received a injury prone forward with an even fatter contract in return. Now Quinn and massively overpaid Muel look like obvious trade candidates who may not return much. Maybe Power, who still looks like a rep guy over actual level of talent. What to do ? Watch and hope.

Quinn (-18) and Muel should be moved . Hopefully.

Right now, they like Bernard-Docker to pair with Power but will try to add a right handed D-men. Good luck with that.

Astrology isn't real. It just pays off when one needs income and finds the gullible. See Friedman. Too many tin men in the lineup ( no heart ). They do need to start with finding a solution at Goalie.

As I posted in Fantastic Fridays, I sat right in front of the Spin Doctors last night at the Falls Casino. They were awesome.

Just saw the Spin Doctors at the Seneca Casino in the Falls. Outstanding show. First saw them 34 years ago. Sound was perfect.

Slashing ??? LOL

Dan D called that a goal. WTF ?

Damn Arrived late and got a Marty Wilford bobblehead.

Listen to that crowd !

Chants of " RUN IT BACK " .

Adams to announce his new Motivational Speaker Book with a forward from Ben Stein.

Wait.... did this place become a Hospice board ?

2 more exhibition games and then 6 months of golf...it's a good life for the Sabres. Then Adams gives his AI version of the Sabres... sitting pat with expected improvement. Damn palm trees.

Half the bench has traded their sticks in for 5 irons.

Rory beats Rose on the 1st Playoff hole. That meant something.
