    Word.

    Even the most cynical Bills fan can't help but enjoy this lady's work: I would have felt that way before the latest round of offerings. I'm not so sure now.

    Admirable. And a bit strange. Sort of like you, I would imagine. :P
  4. That Aud Smell
    That went over my head as well. Emojis will help with comprehension.

    Local paper ran a piece on how this tournament could be the start of big things for Nylander. Not so much. For my purposes, I'm planning to banish most thoughts of him and will only hope to hear encouraging reports from his time in Rochester.

    Christ. Is Tolbert really going to be the change-of-pace 10 or 15-touch back? I guess he is. jeff had that call largely correct, I reckon.

    We may be saying the same thing, but, I think that, by most conventional standards, McDavid would be considered fairly handsome.
  8. That Aud Smell
    I'll take issue with "ugly," since he's more ... non-standard-looking or even unusual-looking than straight up ugly. /inserts "can't tell if serious staring" meme.

    I'm less stuck on a fixed number. If he gets 80 points, but only plays 74 games, then he'd have projected to 88 points over 82 games, which I think would be a success in most people's eyes.

    Good post. I would say to this, though: It looked like the Chiefs chose not to generate pressure a lot of the time. They rushed three, dropped 8, and forced Brady to beat them. Nice. Don't forget the avocado ice cream.
  11. That Aud Smell
    Yeah. Didn't Brady play terribly against the Chiefs within the last few years, and news of his and the Pats demise was everywhere? (And then they went on a rampage.)

    I think hitting 80 points qualifies as a success, not merely meeting expectations (although, if success is the expectation, then ...?). Anyhoo. I think he'll be right around that 80-point mark. I also think he'll miss 5-7 games here or there. So, I'm thinking he'll be a PPG+ player with 80 points. Amen.

    I heard his snake-oil auto-bot QVC salesman talk with Jim Gray on Westwood One before the game -- all that non-replicable horse sh1t about his peculiar diet and exercise habits -- and wanted nothing more than for him to feel the effects of some passing years.
  14. That Aud Smell
    Holy Smokes -- is that from the session where he expounded on how the NHL needs to do a better job marketing its stars and players' personalities? (Can't get the link right now.)
  15. That Aud Smell
    Right. The Jets D should be fine. And, c'mon, this is the 2017 Bills. They shouldn't be 9.5 point favorites to anyone.
  16. That Aud Smell
    I read that the Jets are getting 9.5. Seems too tempting not to take the road dog.

    Charitably speaking, the emphasis there should be on the wink emoji. I was getting tweaked for effectively saying "Thanks for agreeing with me. Please post more!"
  18. That Aud Smell
    Hmmm. Is true?
  19. That Aud Smell
    I was gonna say ... Yep. IMO, Tyrod very much is what he is. There are some things he does very well, and there are other things he just can't do well -- or, at least, he can't do them well on a consistent basis. At his very best, he can operate like a QB ranked among overall spots 10-15 in the league. But 80% of the time? He's among the top of the bottom third of the league's QBs (somewhere in the low- to mid-20s). And the way the league operates, opposing DCs can fairly feast on forcing him to do stuff he can't reliably do. Dennison seems to favor the under-center stuff, nah? I think that Tyrod, if he stays healthy (and I very much doubt he will), is going to have an abysmal year. Nothing I saw in the preseason gave me any reason to think otherwise. Thanks kindly.

    The more I think about it - and the more the panic subsides - the more this seems to be the case. There's a way for all parties to be on the same page and amicable, but still not want to have the deal signed yet. Given what Eichel has been saying, I think that scenario makes the most sense. Also, I don't think there was any real wisdom to extending Reinhart this summer - for not dissimilar reasons. Thanks for that. And I'm glad to see you posting here.

    I thought it was well-reasoned, but this bit at the end had me like :blink: "And with that, he could command an even greater salary. No one is about to suggest the Sabres are going to throw McDavid money — $12.5 million per season — at Eichel, but it’s not far-fetched to believe Eichel could drive his value up beyond $9 million with another career-best, top-producer season." My man. Seems clear that, if Eichel were driving toward a value beyond $9M, he'd already be signed. I think that sentence makes sense if it had read "well beyond $10M."

    The Athletic started this ball rolling. And Dave Davis has something like it going called The Buffalo Star (which I am planning to sign up for). I've read that, at some point, the former print media will get to an iTunes type model where there is a micro-click-charge -- like maybe 15 cents an article or something for starters (with a credit card on file).

    Weird to see that after LeBrun posted this around noon today: "Erik Karlsson looking good, says he's not sure whether he'll be ready for opening night or not, however. Doesn't want to push it."

    Not one employee of whom? The Bills/New Era?

    I think they are country. At least a little bit. Maybe a little bit rock and roll also. And, yes - she's a pretty lady. That will provide me with no solace if we get an pop-twangy anthem. Yes! Okay - so I peeked at the duo's website. They don't appear to be country, per se. They're styled as roots rock/Americana. Of course, that's the way most of Nashville is headed now. Sort of like how Big Beer has co-opted the craft beer movement.
