Hey look, a jinx. I was wondering why they lost tonight. :ph34r:

The "jinx" of lowered expectations.

 

Pretty much every team in the league can hang their hat on one part of the season. It's about end results and always should be. A mad dash to 8th place is no more of an accomplishment this season than it was last season unless they make it count in the playoffs.

Just like I came up with an acrostic for the Bills, I now have one for the Sabres: Seems A Bit Ruff Every Season.

 

You came up with that Bills one now? What crazy claim are you going to make next, that you invented the question mark? ;)

Yeah, I wanted to go there, but I figured you wouldn't like being compared to Al Gore. So instead I went with Doctor Evil. And that Bills line is older than a lot of posters around here.

 

To be honest with you, I haven't seen any of the Austin Powers movies. I've heard about some of the roles in them, but I couldn't tell you anything about the movies from beginning to end.

 

And, yes, the Bills line goes back all the way to their Super Bowl appearances. But, like I had said a while back, I took the liberty to switch around the last word.

 

You may now return to our regularly scheduled antidepressant (or is there one?).

The fact that a team with this kind of payroll needs to make a "mad dash" for 8th shows you something just isn't quite right.

 

I don't expect them to win the Northeast just because they spend a fortune, however I certainly expect more than a late run for the 8th seed.

If you spend a fortune or not, making the top eight in a 15 team conference shouldn't be as difficult as Status Quo seems to have made it.

Thank you for posting the bold - how did it go so long without someone pointing that out?

 

Next it will be "boy I love losing superbowls".

 

Hey, I invented this new series of jokes - I call them knock knock jokes because they all start with knock knock.

What are your feelings on a loaf of bread that is sold preportioned?
