That Aud Smell

except he's not good anymore?

What in the fresh fu*k are the Oilers doing. Bizarre. I mean, we complain. And well we should. But imagine being an Oilers fan?

He's a pro.

Just dropping in to say: This is promising news.

Now, now. Let’s see the beast master gap integrity.

Lol - I think we may have differing definitions/criteria here.

I think you misunderestimate the power that every ~10th person being an absolute ***** heel can have. Bills' games are always a paradigm, of sorts, for me on this topic. In the midst of 70,000 people, 7,000 as.sholes can do a LOT of damage. A lot.

I think that's high. IMO, the distribution is closer to 10% (15%?), on either end of the spectrum -- those who suck and those who are aces. Most of us fall somewhere in that middle ground.

No. It’s just the fact that Pegula’s still giving his 2 cents on any hockey talent. It’s ludacrisp.

I'm good with it. Three years is fine as well.

The return of PAngloss and his fondness for an a priori understanding of the world?

Checking in on this thread had me like

Montreal has to be my favourite non-Sabre team. I've just always loved the sweaters, the sights and sounds of a game being played in the old Forum. The historic greats. And the deal was sealed when Pat Lafontaine giddily poured water on the Sabres TV interviewer as he was being interviewed after the Sabres won their last game in the Forum. Go, Habs!

I don't follow.

Jesus Christmas is that awful, and weird.

Conan for Sabres GM?

I saw what seemed a smart Tweet: Ron Francis doesn't want a coach who has sway in personnel matters.

Listening to Tony Kahn (Khan?), the son of the Jags’ owner, a co-owner of the team, and an apparently active member of the Jags FO (along with other sports holdings), on the Pardon My Take podcast. At around the 1:08 mark (as the pod counts down in time), Kahn talks about how the end of the NFL draft is his favourite day/time of the NFL calendar because he gets on the phone, “chases” UDFA’s whom *he* values highly and who, he says, his scouts typically have “nothing on,” and he gets great “value” as a result (he crows about how he got one valuable (starting?) player for “$5,000” (signing bonus)). The more I listen and read, the more I conclude that the Pegulas are (Terry is) pretty average when it comes to meddling. Edit: Lol. I had no memory of posting the bit above. Tony Kahn is a character.

It was one of the stranger stories I've ever seen. Almost enough to make me believe that this is a Matrix-esque world and that this sort of thing is a glitch.

Reminds me a bit of the news story about the two minor league baseball players who were both named Brady Feigl, but had no relationship to one another.

Ha! But really, for those still wondering how the new franchise could allow this: The Seattle franchise didn't make that Krak House shirt -- some enterprising "26 Shirts" type of outfit did.

Interesting. I wonder how much of this is a function of the WHO's desire to see vaccinations reach more vulnerable adult populations first. All of my kids got vax'd - including the ones who are between the ages of 12 and 18. I trust the scientists who approved Pfizer for the middle school and up cohort.
