That Aud Smell

I think all of this is going to prove to be substantially, if not almost totally, accurate.

Agreed on Murph. He's been promoted beyond his skill set -- but he's a good dude, smart guy. As for calls for violence against the chinless derp: It's always a metaphor, for me. Didn't we run through the metaphysics of this with someone else a while back? Interesting take on Twitter's role in this. That warrants further reflection on my part. That may be the root of all disaffection for me, with him.

I think the bozo who prompted the new thread is worthy of the designation. I'll readily admit to running afoul of PA's oft repeated objection with Harrington: I have not read anything he has written in years. But I'd had enough. I signed off. I blocked him on Twitter. I never read anything he's written, once I see him on the byline. He readily makes my list of "Top 5 dudes who need a square punch in the face." That said, Bucky also deserves consideration owing to his hack's writing style. A legitimate dark horse could be Tim Graham. He probably does not come close to taking the title because the dude can write, and write well. And he researches like a mofo. That said, his tendency to indulge in condescension and smugness puts him in the conversation.

^ :w00t: :cry:

Risto not in top 20 of star time D?

^ I think that's about right. :death:

If young Eichel were to gather enough Ginos and Apples so as to finish the season with > 1 PPG, I swear: It'll move.

I'll cop to it: GM TM acquired a lot of goodwill and patience with his unusual manner and demeanor. And deservedly so. But the time for "ZFG," Dwight Schrute memes, and such is long since past. He needs to make this team better. And fast.

Let's Go, Beau Fleuve.

:lol: There's something about that first offering that is so fitting for the idea.

If only for the lulz, you should have one of those "jersey foul" split-jerseys. Whose names might adorn it? You could even go with a single player -- Danny Gare. (I know, I know - never do that. Ever.)

Agreed. I think there's a small chance the Bills take him. I think there's an even smaller chance that he becomes a starter in the NFL.

No sh1t? Good for him.

It does seem like Kelly will be had for value in this draft. Pundit-types seem to be largely in agreement that his "tool kit" is among the best, if not the best, of QBs in this draft (which isn't saying all that much, of course). It also seems like, feels like every kind of wrong for the Bills to take him.

On further reflection, I could live with him as a third pairing guy.

Dear Lord - who are these people?! I was gonna say.

That's a more genuinely pervasive scourge - one many women fall prey to. I had a young female doctor give me up-talk last week. I was like, "Girl! You are an M.D.! End those sentences with a period, not a question mark!"

Oh, and in answer to your question: By ceaselessly throwing human suffering and death at obdurate opponents (who were doing likewise), and then, probably more importantly, first developing and promptly unleashing a weapon that had the power to destroy the planet.

Interesting stuff here. I had occasion to peek at the Amerks' D corps - that Cole Schneider fella puts up some numbers (almost a PPG) and shoots left. Is he just not cut out for the NHL? I infer as much, as it looks like he's been in the A for a while.

You're (still) funny. Haha - I can't claim credit there. "Blissed out" is a phrase I picked up somewheres or another.

^ NICE.

Oooooh - man. I like it. (That said, I am not sure Reinhart gets a max deal.) It's a pity - I really used to enjoy Hamilton. But he really has become an extraordinary crank. Didn't he mention in the recent past that O'Reilly's leadership has been a huge disappointment?

And yet, so much has, hasn't it (innit)? It must be my age, the deaths in 2016 of some loved ones (who loved the Sabres). I've become much more philosophical and blissed out about my fandom. Destinations are uncertain and, once you're there, generally overrated. It's the journey that matters.

Looks like it's time for Jack & Co. to go GROCERY shopping.

Well, credit to GM TM for staying active. What's this guy apt to be about? Third pairing?
