That Aud Smell

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I went out to rake some leaves when it was 3-1. Great experience to hear the win happen. On Mittlestadt’s SO goal - on a radio feed - RJ sounded totally behind what was going on. I heard the horn before I heard RJ indicate a goal. Did I just miss his forecast of the event because I think as huffing and puffing with yard work?

Wonder what the issue was.

I love you. Fake news!!

Picture of Jack taken moments ago, reportedly.

God dammit!!!!

Gob dammit

I got no problem with fine toothed combs. Passive aggressive here would’ve been something to this effect: ”I haven’t seen the Sabres do or say anything in response to this report. Same with Eichel. And I’m sure that’s because they are fine with saying nothing on the subject. If they cared, they’d speak out. But they won’t say anything. Just watch.” It’s far from passive aggressive to say: “The Sabres ought to do something here. They have a chance to do so. Let’s see what they do.” That’s stated in the affirmative. And it’s a nudge. A prompt.

That’s the good sh1t @Randall Flagg

That is not the definition of passive aggressive. They’re being affirmative, not passive, in saying the Sabres oughta do something. As I said upthread: I’m not sure whether this is the best way to go about matters, having read what I did from @Randall Flagg and perhaps @WildCard

Expansion twins! Let’s go, Buffalo!!

The universe is a cruel place because it is arbitrary. Like, as in how terrible accidents and diagnoses befall people we love. The universe needn’t be a cruel place because people — or, as here, cultures — are bigoted. That’s something that can and should change. So let’s get to work, cupcake.

I believe he was adopting a Trumpian affect relative to my alleged proffer of Fake News (regarding what he said). Which leaves me lost. All I did is subtweet him for having recently bemoaned Eichel as not the second coming of Perreault (and possibly little more than Tom Vanek).

I'm not sure what choice I wound up taking -- I picked one, realized I misunderstood the term and amount, chose another, but didn't quite like it. At the rate he's going, he's gonna command ~$8M+ per year. Fingers crossed, I guess.

I've seen LSU's stud CB mocked to the Bills.

Eichel has looked absolutely fantastic of late. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Looks like Allen probably won’t be able to go. Anderson has been ruled out. Team won’t commit to Peterman under the circumstances. Why is the guy still on the team?

In my experience, the specific term at issue is still pretty commonplace, yes. I have coached middle school rec teams since 2012 — the term has continued to crop up in various settings.

Fair enough. I'd actually thought they were some sort of nonprofit venture -- not a silo of SB Nation. Even so - it's a cause nobler than most sites looking for clicks. I can see your point. I was unaware that this was a pattern in which they've engaged. It's too bad if they're going about a laudable objective in a bad way. Even at that, though, I thought they were pretty careful about saying it wasn't about Eichel, then or now. That it was about the culture in which those kinds of terms are still commonplace, which seemed fair to me.

He's coming on, I tell ya. Where's that thread where he was chirped for being a poor man's Thomas Vanek?

I agree that he is really struggling. But, as others have stated, I just don't care. The sound of that voice can so easily evoke memories of staying up late in bed, with my wood-paneled clock radio playing the game, listening to a late game out west, hearing that a LES storm was coming in, feeling assured that there'd be a snow day tomorrow.

I read it closely for the first several paragraphs. Then glossed it. My sense is that Out Sports wants to use this as an opportunity to improve the lives and experiences of LGBT athletes. What did you find objectionable about it such that you think Eichel should tell them to go pound sand?
