That Aud Smell

It is *such* a bad look ... that it probably actually works on some level.

I watched most of the game in a setting where the sound was off and there was various conversations going on around me. But big #97 seemed to be everywhere.

Btw - who was/is #97? The former Dolphin? He was noticeable.

If there were, food critics wouldn’t ever be published.

maybe we should merge this with the PSE Fan Experience thread? or vice versa? or maybe nah. also: i do not know why i've become so merge happy of late.

Because nothing's more American than the Renaissance? Serious question: Is there a filter that pro photographers are using to create this effect nowadays?

the fan standing with hands on his head is the low-key hero

Dahlin made a couple of rough plays (one almost led to a scoring chance), but then he also made at least a half dozen small simple plays right in front of our section that were ... fairly miraculous. They looked simple. But only because of the incredible level of skill used to execute them. It occurred to me: We haven't had a d-man who does that sort of stuff with confidence in ... well, maybe ever. Also: Sobotka didn't play. Sorry for the trouble. I had awful eczema right up until I was done (done?) going through puberty. It was like a switch flipped. From middle elementary through early high school, the eczema on the bottom of my feet was often so bad (and led to so much cracking and bleeding) that I sometimes had difficulty lacing up my cleats or skates, let alone putting pressure on them for a practice or game. Skin problems are awful, and prevalent.

Fwiw: Knights beat reporter stated in his write up that there were a lot of shots, but “few quality chances” for the Knights. That’s in line with what I saw. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/costly-lapses-continue-as-golden-knights-fall-to-sabres/

I attended the game. The shot totals are what they are, but it was my distinct impression that the team wasn’t outplayed, let alone handily. I’d be curious to see how the shot totals progressed once the Sabres were up 4-1.

My experience was extremely limited, but negative. It took nearly 20 minutes to get drinks at The Aud Club bar. There were 2 bartenders staffing the area where 4 were needed. And one of the bartenders looked like he’d been called on to pinch hit. Maybe this is what a low unemployment rate gets you?

Complexion jokes r the dumbest.

POST!

Yeah - it just doesn’t feel like a 25-15 affair.

I’m here yelling myself hoarse. Wanted to ask: Score effects?

Good news is welcome, too.

Did you just assume my gender? Anyhoo. I've just never found the time to get through any of the famous binge-watch shows -- unless you count ABC's Lost (which sorta was an early one). I did the first season of The Wire (and oh man - was that ever good), but then got delayed on the rest. I've never watched a single episode of The Sopranos. And so on. Stats square with the eye test.

Awesome sauce on the thread title. I'm going this afternoon. I'll see what's up.

i retrieved this based on a search for a GIF depicting a horrified, disbelieving reaction. and i think it fits the bill. i'm not even familiar with the show, tbh.

Does MODO no longer post the "fired up" clip? Because I am fired up.

I keep coming back to the fact that, even those who loved Allen as a prospect, were unanimous in saying that he needed time and should not start right away (and, IIRC, a super majority of his boosters said to shelve him for a full season). And yet here we are. Even for someone (i.e., me) who was perfectly okay with trading Taylor for a good asset, the handling of the QB personnel just seems dumber and dumber as the weeks progress. Not for nothing: The Browns giving up a significant asset for Taylor seems dumber and dumber too. Mayfield is clearly a fairly pro-ready QB. As others have noted, it was the Bills who actually needed Taylor much more than the Browns. I had just thought that McCarron was going to be the bridge guy. But, no. McDermott's devotion to Peterman won out.

I think this is right. I also appreciate that they're starting at 3:00 rather than 1:00 -- like last season, IIRC, and several before that? I bet the players like a 3:00 pm start better too. OTOH, the Saturday matinees upcoming are 1:00 pm starts. Yep.

I'm playing hooky to be at this one. I am really hoping to see a team with some jump. Let's Go, Buffalo!!
