  2. I'm not familiar with the Bills' cap situation. Or Drew Brees' viability as a long-term starting QB. Should be we be looking at Brees?
  3. Ron MacLean syndrome. Except Peters isn't that funny.
  4. Petey's a player's player. His experiences, and maybe his competitiveness, will only allow him to see the world from the players' perspective. Players want to win all of the time. Players need to win all of the time. Players don't want to lose their jobs to the next young kid. As an alumni, he bonds with current players like brothers. He's not a GM. He's not going to say, "you know, maybe we need to cut this guy," or "maybe it's not as important to win these games as it is to secure the future." He, like Rob Ray, Brad May, and other former players, give valuable insight from the players' perspective about all sorts of topics. But when it comes to discussing the hard decisions a GM needs to make, he should probably just be ignored. His anti-tank stance is born from this perspective, but I think he continues to carry on about it because he's supposed to act the ham to KS's straight man.
  5. I forgot I had posted this and it's still funny to me.
  6. I'm experienced in the ways of cheddar-maple ninja-ry, but I haven't yet applied it to eggos.
  7. We could give him a look at wing. If he doesn't play well defensively, we might be able to get him moving forward there. Sort of like Hodgson. I think if the coaching staff hasn't decided to try that yet, they haven't yet given up on him at center. And if they haven't given up him at center yet, they probably still see that he's got some potential and developing to do. I mean, this is why we draft centers: they're versatile. The problem is that they've got to decide that he's worth a qualifying offer as an RFA. I think they will qualify him, but they might do some cursing at Regier, who allowed a year of his ELC to be burned early, without well-supporting his development that year.
  8. Hopefully he'll get it. He's gotta fight for pucks in the defensive end instead of, as one of the writers wrote recently, "waiting for others to get the puck to him." Also, I like Hoppe, but he's gotta stay away from the cliches. Sentence number two.
  9. We've had an M41 Walker Bulldog sitting across the street from the arena for years.
  10. I'm a grown-ass man and I still inescapably burn my tongue on any microwaved or oven-cooked pizza or pizza-like substance. And that's nobody's problem but my own. In this particular case, there's no right answer. Because if you try to go this route... ...you'll get complaints from some that it's not hot enough- and there's no easy way to fix that. Can't make everyone happy. The easiest solution is for people who want not-hot chocolate to literally chill out.
  11. Thread summary:
  12. Start selling "iced chocolate" and "luke warm chocolate" and tell them they should've ordered one of those instead.
  13. Bright sides, man.
  14. Chad Johnson could be done for the year before ever playing a game for us.
  15. I'm (as usual, for some reason) also with Blue. Furthermore, it is as yet undetermined whether an intentional tank of this magnitude is an act of sheer incompetence on a massive scale. It hasn't been proven to work... yet. If it's proven to not work, we screwed ourselves big time and the righteous will damn us for intentionally losing toward unintentional massive failure. If it's proven to work, can it really be considered intentional losing if you intentionally end up winning long term?
  16. I made a table for the draft odds soes we can piss and moan about how much it blows to finish 29th: If we finish 29th instead of 30th, the chance of landing McEichel drops from 100% to 33.5%.
  17. Welp, combine that with Mark Giordano being out for the season, Kyle Okposo still out on IR, and Gustav Nyquist being bumped to the 3rd line with Cole's arrival, my fantasy season should take a marked turn for the worse.
  18. I don't normally do this. Prediction: space monkeys construct a space bulldozer to push the earf into the nearest black hole. Sabres win. Sabrespace.com implodes because gravity. For all eternity, neutrons from what was formerly D4rk's tongue are pressed up against quarks that were formerly PA's hairy nipple.
  19. For me, that was the excitement of Rex. The defensive mastermind combined with the high-talent defense. If we dismantle one or the other, we gain no ground.
  20. I blame Sean Connery for shooting the tail.
  21. DON'T JUMP
