He posited a racial difference between a fish fry establishment in one part of town vs a coffee shop chain and then leveraged that as evidence of being reverse racist.

Oh, ok. Good.

When I see quotes with strike outs and bold text, I tend to think that it isn't the quoted's original words, but the words of the poster. Is that racist?

Good call. I wouldn't be surprised if Brad Treliving gives Trotz a call too. All these low end teams are trying to get better, but the Sabres and Islanders seem to be standing pat, sort of. Definitely beneficial for Tank 2.0: Double Barrel'd.

He could try to defame her in court testimony, but if that's the road it goes down, it definitely seems like he has more to lose in that department.

Wind the clock back to 2006: Sterling's Racism Should Be News

Holy ######, that's right on. Like he finishes up with, it's not that he saw it coming nine years ago, he saw it happen, wrote about it, and nobody did ######.

No worries. I'm starting to read about him (see above where I don't know ###### about the Clippers).

It couldn't possibly be the fault of the old racist guy ###### the mistress and giving her money instead of boning his old lady and saving millions, embarassment, and now maybe hundreds of millions.

Dolla dolla bill y'all. Welcome to Los Angeles. Or, with enough money and power, anywhere else for that matter. If you like that story, go back and read about Frank McCourt. edit: Also, Pegula should buy the team and move it back to Buffalo. #streetjustice

I now live in LA and hadn't previously associated with an NBA franchise. I thought about being a Clippers fan, but I didn't, because: 1) You're right. I don't associate Braves and Clippers as a franchise. It's not strong enough to be like "Go Buffalo" at Clippers games. 2) I don't really watch the NBA anyways. 3) I don't know ###### about the Clippers and I didn't want to bandwagon on their recent better-than-Lakers performance.

I could see that.

I stopped reading here. Are the kids going to ruin the tank? We won't let them.

Now Skeeter he wasn't hurtin' nobody.

Get the ###### outta here, no people name other people that, let alone put them on the same line. :w00t:

edit: better response ^ Parked it outside in WNY.

If that and the Escape were equally priced, I think it'd be a no-brainer for me, pending test drive, but for that amount of change, I'd definitely do the homework.

I've worn a bunch of numbers, but I'm settling in on 16. Outside WNY, you can wear Sabres numbers without looking tooly. No one should wear 99. Ever. At any level. 1 looks stupid too, but is sometimes acceptable for goalies. 69 stopped being funny long ago, and really only noobs or idiots wear that.

I would probably prefer the Subaru, based on performance and reliability. Motor Trend called the '14 Forrester the SUV of the year, FWIW. My cousins drive Ford Escapes, and it seems to work pretty well for them. I generally avoid Kia like the plague.

Ahaha, I just noticed your avatar, PA. Very nice.

Imagine for a moment that the Islanders give us their 2015 and the Sabres and Islanders finish last and 2nd last (or vice versa) in 2015. There would then be a 43.8% chance that the Sabres would take the top two picks, presumably McDavid and Eichel. 43.8%! That's huge! The only simile I can muster is that it's like getting Crosby and Malkin in one draft. I think we want that 2015'er and I think we want both teams to be a flaming ###### trainwreck next season. I mean, it's so wishful, but it's so rewarding to think about.

That's about where I am too, but I'd definitely like to hear some opinions on the pros and cons between the two Sams for Buffalo, and maybe some speculation about why FLA chooses the way they do.

I'm not one to start a redundant thread, but this is a pretty hefty topic that I'd like to hear discussed, one that can be extracted from the draft thread. And there's a poll! Plus we can dump news, highlights, and info about these top choices into here. If you've made an argument here or there already, feel free to quote/copy it into this thread.

I liked Anson Carter when he played for Edmonton. Part of that hard-working small market team that mirrored us in a lot of ways pre-salary cap. But then he was on seven teams inside of four years and he became hard to watch.
