Maybe the question could be: if Terry were a player, would you have moved on from him by now? Look at the history of the Pegulas/PSE and look at their current position as outlined in The Athletic. Aren't we looking at a top pick in year six who hasn't done anything yet — with the possibility of getting his act together now extremely remote?

I think we can get to 30% by noon. Everyone casting a Yes vote will receive a Nina Totenberg bag and a Ted Black autographed urinal cake.

Bump.

Yes. Vote with your feet. Which reminds me...

Excellent. Go.

That's disputed by other accounts of small profits. I'd just like to have a small cut of what they make when they sell the team, hopefully sooner than later. Because, like the guy at One Bills Drive who doesn't want the Sabres' "*****" making its way to the Bills, I'm done with the Pegula's toxicity endangering MY hockey team.

Is that what you kids are calling it?

That's your best post to date! I had a point and didn't articulate it well. It's late. It kind of refers to something I've been trying to put my finger on for the longest time. How the Pegulas can't really own the Buffalo Sabres.

A guy wins a million dollars and fulfills his life long dream of owning a modest hot dog shop, which has to close during a pandemic. Is my analogy close? I honestly look forward to being educated as to how it's not.

If the people are as intricately involved in the success of this business as you like to portray, then we are no longer talking about a traditional customer-business relationship. We are talking about the community as owners of the enterprise. So let's talk about profit-sharing, shall we?

Like you've never flinched when the puck hit the side of the net.

You would have won with Crumbining! Since Indabuff would rather work than fulfill his sacred duty to this thread, I'll offer another one: When you think you see the puck go in and you jump up and yell and whoop and kiss your pet and look back at the screen and play is inexplicably ongoing... There Has To Be A Name For That.

The sheet has been pulled off.

Dr. Fauci has warned that some antibody tests that are out there haven't been "validated and calibrated." I assume that you'll be getting a "good" test. He also said it's still uncertain what the presence of antibodies means from a practical standpoint. I wonder how the hospital plans to use the results.

Meh. There were a couple of yacht cracks and a general tone of confusion/should we be mad? about the Pegulas' situation. You oversold it pretty good.

Oil and gas would seem to be only a side business for Terry and his daughter. I have no idea what that business is worth. But I don't think it's a lynchpin of the Pegula financial empire that will either save or ruin them.

Again, I don't know anything. But your wording strikes me as odd — they liquidated $1.7 billion to buy the Bills. They sold their land/mineral rights holdings and got $1.7 billion in cash, no? After selling holdings for $4.7 billion in 2010. That's $6.5 billion. Those holdings are gone. I don't see what the current oil/gas downturn has to do with it. A bigger question is how any couple who had $4.7 billion plopped on their laps could be in this financial situation 10 years later? Why is there even a PSE? Why wouldn't it have been enough to buy the teams, Kim could have knitted some trinkets to sell on Etsy (which probably represents the sum total of her business acumen), go sit on your yacht and enjoy life? Why this need for more money, status, power? I honestly don't get it.

True. We can't have that fun and cathartic presser after a major firing, but we do get to think about Terry peeling open a cheap can of cat food and sharing it with Kim (one plastic spork between them). I believe I sense snark here. Smell points out how, uh, HAM HANDED Kim's comment about family lifestyle was, but there's also how dumb her shifting of blame was from where it belongs (those who hire/retain) and those who "let you down." These are not smart people.

Seems a lot of the workers came down with The Pegula Flu.

This shook me to my core, because I know what it feels like to have to do this:

I laughed out loud, but not sure why. What a great time to be alive.

Have you heard of chippling? It's all the rage. Ask your kids.

Yes, but at a time like this, I can't help but think we need to all pitch in and repay this selfless couple for all they've given us. A GoFundMe campaign, maybe.

I said I was sorry. What more do you want? I thought I could sue Terry for emotional damages.

All I have for now is — "Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we start to deceive."
