That Aud Smell

Holy shnikes.

^ I didn't realize that fka Cat Stevens was back doing material from his catalog. He wrote some amazing tunes.

Lol - had to look that up. Totally missed it.

Oh for sure. He’s a shadow of himself out there.

Weird game. Titans’ first 3 TD drives went something like 30, 15, and 12. Turnovers were obviously crucial. If you can’t get at least occasional pressure on the QB by rushing 4 - especially with your opponent down its starting LT - you are gonna lose more than you win. Whither Ed Oliver?

Apologies for being vague about it, but I saw a Tweet over the weekend, presumably from some #fancystats type of account, to the effect that, increasingly, D-men are being played on whichever side regardless of their handedness - that the side on which they play is simply a question of commitment and adjustment.

it's a vasty expanse! poor guy. and now, having read all of the glowing comments about what the player has said and how he said it, i feel badly for going down this road.

YIKES. No thanks. (I was actually looking at his lower lip.)

That was just awful about Dak. I came back to the couch and sat down as the initial replay was going, and my eyes just bugged out of my head. Yikes. Just awful. Here's to a quick and full recovery. The fact that the emergency surgery was successful was a welcome report.

Holy moly - that guy has taken a few pucks to the mush, for sure.

Huh - man, this is surprising. In my mind's eye, I had thought one of Juneau or Gilmour had worn it -- but they wore other #s in the 90s.

(He was a UFA?) CRAZY PILLS

😳

Don’t know the player. The #fancystats folks hate the signing.

Whodat

It's cheaper, for sure. But the difference is not as significant as I would have thought.

By the way: Is there a chance that RaKru simply does not want Kahun? I can't recall the details of how Kahun was acquired, but is this potentially one of those situations where there was the disconnect between GM and Coach? Cost of living is somewhat lower in Buffalo, nonetheless.

For those taking up torches and pitch forks, I would note other comments upthread that were throwing water on the rumour of Kahun wanting 2 years $2.5M AAV.

^ Multiple reports to that effect, fwiw.

Just saw a Tweet that Kahun wants $2.5M AAV; Sabres want to be south of $2M. I don't get it.

As I see the steady stream of signings pile up on Twitter, I find this signing, the money and term, more and more confusing.

I like that plan from RaKru.

More than fair.

I had meant to add: It for reasons like these that I just shook my head when I heard Schopp talking about Adams' evaluation process, and how he (Schopp) would have NO interest at all in the assessment of the person's character, personality, etc. - that he would exclusively want to know nothing more than "are you an excellent 2-way center?" The implication seemed to be that all necessary information can be divined from watching tape and digging into metrics, and that a meeting, discussion with the prospect was useless, at best, and fool's gold, at worst. Schopp can be a tool, I know, but that particular take seemed so, so myopic to me. Adams said he was impressed with how "self aware" Quinn is, as a person. I liked hearing that - it was encouraging to me. According to Schopp, though, such stuff is irrelevant. 🙄
