    Oh, man. What a gem of a song. Amen.
  2. That Aud Smell
    Agreed.

    the day the music died. I think that warrants swearing off a team.

    God willing, not this young man, ever.

    So what's the deal with the new OC? I like the sound of this.
  6. That Aud Smell
    Good catch. We can all readily infer who most likely does care about that sort of thing.

    Nothing much to add to what's been said upthread. I believe it's metaphysically impossible to switch teams. I have a friend from my college days who grew up in Vancouver, and he was a rabid Canucks fan. He's a musician (one of my favourite songs of his even has a line about Vancouver beating Colorado (which was back when the Avalanche were great)), and now lives and makes a living with music in Nashville. He says he's now a Preds fan, full stop. Like, the Canucks were in town and he posted a picture to FB of him at the arena wearing a Preds shirt. I call BS on that. One of my very favorite touchstones from my days of learning is this quote from AE Housman: "The house of delusions is cheap to build, but drafty to live in, and ready at any instant to fall." I'm so sorry to hear about the medical issues for your wife -- God bless.

    I legitimately LOL’d in the theatre. Led with a “bahhh”.

    I saw it last weekend. I’m of an age where we went to see A New Hope in the theaters as young kids. But I’m no fanboy or deep-dive geek (for example, it remains unclear to me who or what Snope is/was — I don’t much care either). We loved Force Awakens (such a charming homage), and we might’ve liked Rogue One even more. Last Jedi is a funking mess. I saw one critic call it a “glorious mess”, and I was like, no, it’s just a a mess. A confused jumble of lotsa stuff. It just didn’t hold together and hang, as a story. Josie had an apt metaphor above — they came out with brown. My wife had a charitable observation: The middle movie is often the hardest to make. OTOH, Empire Strikes Back is arguably the best of all the movies made.

    Amen. I seem to recall the Quebec ice being ... idiosyncratic somehow as well.

    From the replay, it looked like it pinged off a camera that's installed in a recess in the end boards (near a GEICO ad).

    Never a play-caller? Also: I just learned that Dennison had never really called plays before himself. So weird.

    Fail Army could post Tyrod's head being slammed to the ground against Jax -- for the lulz, of course. So lulzy.

    From the Twitter Source tells @sportingnews that Mike McCoy & Rob Chudzinski are top two candidates for @buffalobills offensive coordinator vacancy. Mike & Chud both have @panthers roots like Bills HC Sean McDermott
  15. That Aud Smell
    Mike Rodak tweets: Potential OC name that would make sense for Bills: Eagles QB coach John DeFilippo. His work with Carson Wentz earned him HC looks this offseason, and currently working with Andy Reid/Doug Pederson system in Philly that Sean McDermott might prefer.
  16. That Aud Smell
    Josh Reed from WIVB tweets: Brian Daboll is a name to watch for next #Bills OC. The Alabama OC was on William & Mary coaching staff when Sean McDermott was a player there. Daboll was with Pats for several seasons, so he knows the division. Bonus, he’s a WNY native and went to St. Francis.

    Always unfortunate when someone loses a job, but -- this is encouraging news.
  18. That Aud Smell
    I think this is entirely correct. When the team acquired all of those draft assets, I greedily thought about the team moving up to take a top QB prospect. I've come around almost 180 on that. I would not be averse to the team making a small move up into the mid-teens if a QB they really like is still there -- what would that cost? A 3rd? 2nd?
  19. That Aud Smell
    I’ll second this. Good (great) players earn those EN opportunities. They’re not freebies; they’re correlated to strong play.
  20. That Aud Smell
    I’ll admit to being confused.
  21. That Aud Smell
    fair point.

    I've fairly settled into the view that FGM TM set the franchise back several years by pursuing his vision of a "heavy" team, as opposed to getting on board with where the league was actually headed: Toward speed, quickness, and getting up and down the ice. Fwiw, here's a report about and quote from Stan Bowman on the trade for Duclair: I think that there are 3 "top 6" Sabre forwards who are ill-suited to the game Bowman describes: ROR, Okposo, and Reinhart. Eichel and Kane can play that game, of course.

    Drunk or sober, I love Mighty. As does my entire family. As for the kids, I am quite sure all of them have always been sober when enjoying their preferred Mighty order. Please don't disparage Mighty. They wouldn't have as many stores as they do if they were just a drunken eats joint.

    Yessir. Gah. There it is again.
