Samson's Flow

So back to the non-tank talk. I think the Bills have a similar year as last year, albeit from an entirely different cast of characters and in a more exciting (more TDs, more turnovers) way, but still end up with 7 to 9 wins. Daboll makes the offense more watchable, but we don't get the benefit of a million turnovers to steal some early games. Sabres make a big improvement from the DFL soul-crushing team we watched in years past, but that big improvement still only gets us to mid 80's point total. ES scoring is way better, but there still isn't enough talent in the top lines to make a difference. Much more watchable, but still not great enough to make the playoffs.

You're right - dooooomed! I'm encouraged how much our offense looked like a real NFL offense. Easy completions based on scheme

We're the best team ever. Super bowl!!! (Am I doing it right??)

Did you check the dumpster in the back?

Just saw this now. As someone who greatly enjoyed Vail's Booth Falls Trail and who barely completed the Missouri Lakes Trail, I can say that your hiking is very impressive. Unfortunately I valued my relationship with my wife over finishing the 12 mile round trip loop. (She struggled with the altitude much more than I)

I got better. Now I'm pinning my hopes on Samson's beautiful locks. Love, The Artist Formerly known as Touched by Boyes ?

heading to New Era field for Bills training camp with my wife and a few buddies. Nice to be able to get my Bills fix on a summer August day ?

We were just talking about this yesterday with some friends. More than half of the forwards (if you include Casey) will be new names this year compared to last year's DFL team. That's insane. Obviously the DFL roster wasn't working, so you have to get different guys. We weren't going to go from last to playoffs just on development of Jack/Sam/Casey/Rasmus

Sexy.

This was my reaction to this post as well. We finally have a player who is well to the right of the Good/Bad line in these charts. Awesome! ??

That is awesome Woody.

Nice ?

We mostly use it to swat family members and *gently* electrocute them. Bug zapping is decidedly secondary.

The one my family always uses looks like a tennis racket

Agreed. I love Shameless and it hasn't really lost much momentum like some of the other big Showtime franchises do (Weeds, Dexter, etc.)

The difference in my mind is that 103.3 would have Metallica on their playlist normally, as they are a Rock music station. Last time I checked, the national anthem/God Bless America isn't a country song (it is technically a song about a country) that would be played normally. That's where the pandering accusation comes from - a sort of forced patriotism.

That works for me.

Just get rid of Carter. Problem solved... ?

If this contractor delays the start of the bathroom remodel job one more time I might have to consider getting a bit stabby. This was supposed to be scheduled and completed in April FFS. Also, looks like pretty soon I will need to be in the market for a new car, since the old one is on its last legs. Tried to go to the dealer auction last week with my uncle, but apparently his credentials weren't correct and so they forcefully removed us and threatened trespassing charges. Which seemed a bit extreme coming from an old rent a cop security guy, but to each their own I guess.

Not to mention Edmonton winning another draft lottery in the mock draft above jumping up to the #2 pick. #### those guys.

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?!?

Yankee Stadium, New York—A.L. 66, N.L. 39 Player Team Round 1 Round 2 Subtotal Finals Total Justin Morneau Twins 8 9 17 5 22 Josh Hamilton Rangers 28a 4b 32 3 35 Lance Berkman Astros 8 6 14 – 14 Ryan Braun Brewers 7 7 14 – 14 Dan Uggla Marlins 6 – 6 – 6 Grady Sizemore Indians 6 – 6 – 6 Chase Utley Phillies 5 – 5 – 5 Evan Longoria Rays 3 – 3 – 3 Yep. 28 in round 1 then only hit 4 in round 2 and 3 in the finals to lose to Morneau who hit 5.

I made up the 30 number, but I do remember that derby ending well past midnight. At that point I didn't give a #### who won I just wanted it to end. Right. His next round was pretty poor IRC.

I think you need to trade one of the later picks for a prospect that is further along the development curve. That spreads out the projected impact a little better - you get the traded prospect this year or at worst next year, the top 10 pick hits the NHL in 2 years, and the later pick in 3-4 years. I know it's greedy, but I want to see some new players pushing out the trash on the NHL roster sooner rather than later.

Alternate bonus: since it's timed, we no longer run the risk of the TV broadcast going into the wee hours of the night just because Josh Hamilton decides to hit 30 in one round. I'm old and need my sleeps.
