That Aud Smell

I won't comment on whether the league's massive efforts to promote the schedule release is good, bad, ugly, etc. I will say: For those fans of NFL teams who are STH's, who travel to one or more away games, and/or who try to schedule their lives around their team's games, the release of the schedule is significant. For my part, I'm already mildly dreading the onslaught of primetime games at the stadium. Sunday at 1:00 is the only life for me.

Dig it, man. We had a dude in our crew back in the day who we said was the coveted Pooh Bear/Kanga duality. Our man was just super chill, and was always at the ready with what others needed/wanted (beer, pizza, a roll of paper towels, etc.).

At age 82?

An Eeyore, for sure. In the A.A. Milne dual paradigm, Adams as GM is probably an Eeyore/Piglet. Possibly an Eeyore/Owl. Not great combinations for an NHL GM. I used to identify as a Tigger/Owl. But I was younger then. I'm not so sure that fits anymore. I'm probably more an Owl/Rabbit now. (Sigh.)

Rayzor is heart and soul. Heart and soul. If he's stepping away, I will miss him.

An Appert guy. A USA Hockey guy - not an NHL guy. Did he give (Don) Granato’s name as a reference?

forsooth, you has given me a sad.

Cozens out there doing long haul? I recalled coming to this understanding as well - fairly recently. I take it as a fact that Karmanos (and maybe others) still live(s) in the Pittsbugh area.

If this iteration of the Bills is going to win the Super Bowl, then Kincaid's gotta get it figured out. He's got the most upside of any of the team's pass catchers.

as a wr4/5, he better be playing ‘teams. not sure he would.

Also worth noting: Jerry f**king Forton is getting an increased role as well. I've ranted here before about Forton's bona fides, such as they are. Such a weird mixture of cronyism and poverty franchise operations.

Lance says Karmanos is a goner. "The Sabres have needed experienced advisers around Adams since he started, and associate general manager Jason Karmanos may not return to the organization in 2025-26, sources also told The Buffalo News. He wasn't involved in exit interviews or owner Terry Pegula's end-of-season discussion with Adams and Ruff. Jerry Forton, previously the amateur scouting director, added pro scouting duties last summer with his promotion to assistant general manager. " Talk about burying the lede. https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nhl/sabres/article_e462baa5-8494-4a09-9688-6c2d370433f2.html#tracking-source=home-top-story Lol - Appert with an increased role. The franchise is truly doomed. Also, I think that should read "if not official" role.

fwiw

The further away in time it gets, the worse it looks and feels. Just all-time dipsh1ttery. The very definition of telling on yourself for being a walking milquetoast mediocrity. This is percipient. (Good to read you here.)

it's because he broke his ass on the door to the bench, if memory serves. oh - don't misunderstand me. the guy's a winner. dirty as f*ck. but a winner.

By whom? Total BS.

it appears so. total BS.

Fungoo - you ain't goin' anywhere. Draw lines all you want. And then become a habitual line-stepper. Our need to be entertained by your Sabrespace content outweighs whatever purported principles you're invoking here. we need to keep the memes rolling on #multipledaysofpresenting

"multiple days of presenting" be like:

how the fook does Bennett not get a suspension? … or was the Leafs goalie likely concussed first by that wicked Rheinhardt wrist shot?

“multiple days of presenting.” lol.

did that multi-page “changes potentially coming” thread get deleted? I had wanted to pore over the Italian food content there.

So, I'm fairly rational, but in this case I'm overreacting. So it doesn't track? I'm just trying to keep things straight. No shortage of coffee in my life -- although I stick to two 8 oz. servings a day anyway.

Lol. Yes, indeed. If nothing else, my content here is characterized by overreactions.
