    In fairness to those in or of the 5 boroughs -- the northern part of Bronx is fairly upstate to them. The "South/North" thing seems to have become something of a state of mind. Maybe more a rural/urban thing? When I take county roads to points remote in the 8 counties of WNY, I see puh-lenty of confederate flags.

    You know - I forgot about that injury. Jeez. Maybe a return to form for Larsson would be yet another shot in the shoulder for this club.
  3. That Aud Smell
    I really like the idea that Baptiste is being groomed to be a speedy, effective, responsible bottom-6 player. That's the sort of roster construction this team has needed for a while. I mean, a guy like Larsson was targeted to fulfill such a role. I don't think he has the wheels to do it.

    :unsure:

    I think everyone - *everyone* - always wants “their” people. The trick is getting the right person doing the choosing.

    Ya. I don't get it. I see that the Texans fired Butler earlier this month. So, McDermott obviously learned that he shook loose, and wanted to go get him. But it makes no sense to separate a position coach who just oversaw a fantastic season of performance. None. If it ain't broke ... .

    I mean they told Byrd that he would not be coming back. I'm not sure whether that amounted to a firing/termination or a non-renewal of a contract.
  8. That Aud Smell
    Okay - I see that as well. I think I'm being skewed by how the NFL harps on "conference record" for the purpose of playoff tiebreakers.
  9. That Aud Smell
    McDermott is hiring a guy named John Butler as the secondary coach. It was weird that they separated the existing coach (Byrd), after the secondary came together like it did (all 4 starters new to the team) and performed really, really well this season. Fwiw, Butler is a friend/teammate of McDermott's from high school.

    It's not an actual cash out the door issue -- of that I am quite convinced. The Pegulas have never chintzed that way. I think it must be a cap management issue.
  11. That Aud Smell
    I'm being dragged along to this one. (Not a slag on the team - I just don't embrace going out for the Tuesday night games.) Let's Geaux, Buffaleaux.

    Ahh. I think I see now. Okay. The idea is that conference finishers #3 to #8 will qualify for playoffs based on their total points (including non-conference games), but then they get re-sorted based on their conference record? But I'm not sure that distinction makes a difference. If I'm a team sitting solidly at #5 or #6 in the conference with 12 games to go, why would I give a hoot about my non-conference games? I'd just concentrate on my conference games. Maybe I am missing something.
  13. That Aud Smell
    What a whackadoo concept. If you're not going to win your division, what'd be the point of playing the non-conference games? You'd risk scenarios around this time of year where eastern teams vying for a slot between 3 and 8 would just tank games against western opponents.
  14. That Aud Smell
    Yuck. The Pegulas don't care about the money, I trust. I'd think the real issue relates to what the cap implications of that bonus are? I dunno. A bad look, for now, anyway. Hopefully, the team can finagle an arrangement whereby the team gets some cap relief and Wood gets his money.

    I'm willing to wager: If you don't yet have stink bugs in the home on the regular, you soon will. Those goddamned things are everywhere. We used to have a few from time to time, and then two summers ago there were dozens (100s?) camped out on/around our AC window units. They've been in the home ever since. Peak season, I probably dispose of 10 per week, sometimes more. Through the winter - it's probably 2 or 3 per month.
  16. That Aud Smell
    (I thought you remarked that it would have no capacity to mate/reproduce thereabouts.)
  17. That Aud Smell
    Is this a species of stink bug that hasn’t infiltrated our region? Our home in the Great Lakes region is fairly lousy with stink bugs in late summer and beyond. I’m instinctively averse to bugs. I flush those stink bugs that I find.
  18. That Aud Smell
    For sure. Sorry I didn’t post a Vanek Face.
  19. That Aud Smell
    NFW Vanek is an H-HOFer. He is, however, in the F-HOF.
  20. That Aud Smell
    ^ excellent
  21. That Aud Smell
    I read that he wanted to delay announcement until Monday on off chance he’d get the alternate call to Pro Bowl. So maybe it’s not *that* bad? Meaning, he should be “okay” going forward. (Whatever passes for okay for a retired NFL lineman.)
  22. That Aud Smell
    Gah. I really, truly hope that it's a situation that becomes much less complicated once he stops playing ball.
  23. That Aud Smell
    What a beast and warrior that guy was/is. And a stand-up dude.
  24. That Aud Smell
    It's Wood. Neck.
  25. That Aud Smell
    Taylor seems like the most logical candidate -- that hit he took at the end of the JAX game was ferocious. OTOH This is a good point. Yet OTOH, those head traumas can be weird. Delayed. And so on.
