Musk is a disgusting human being. He had the nerve to call Senator Mark Kelly, a former Navy pilot and combat veteran, a “traitor” because he visited Ukraine and had the nerve to say Trump needs to resume military aid among other things. Kelly’s retort was fantastic. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/elon-musk-calls-mark-kelly-traitor-support-ukraine-rcna195738

Great route runner, great hands. The scouts have liked him a lot. Imo, he got stifled in Harbaugh’s more conservative offense but that 15+ yards per reception the last couple years is nothing to sneeze at.

As a percentage of team's cap space allocated to QB contracts, Josh's deal ranks 13th in the league. In that very important sense, he's already middle of the pack.

All these extensions have created a lot more cap space for 2025. Beane has room to maneuver.

Norris and Cozens with hatties for their new teams because it’s uncanny how often newly acquired players play lights out in their first games with new teams.

I know, it was a follow-up to your response to Night Train. I was agreeing with you entirely. Apologies for any confusion.

There are offsets, so when a fired coach gets another HC job at a salary equal to or more than the one he was fired from, the team that fired him is off the hook. But fired coaches like Ralston, Nolan, Bylsma, Housley, Krueger, and Granato who don’t find such a new job and there is tenure still left on their deals, the Sabres continue to pay their full salaries or any difference in salary until their deals expire.

Cost overages are estimated to make the revised cost for the stadium $2.2b, or $800m more than the original $1.4b. Pegula’s equity sale netted him over $1b, so even if he doesn’t access other streams to cover cost overruns, he’s still got $200m to put towards additional costs above that $2.2b. The Bills are seeking a $650m debt waiver from the league, which will assuredly be approved and the projected $225m in PSL sales is now expected to be revised upward. All of this means that the cost overages are already covered and then some. Pegula is simply not hard up for the money and doesn’t need to penny pinch the Sabres to cover his new stadium obligations.

Nobody likes and respects Ruff more than us longtimers, but I have to agree entirely. Lindy is coaching an entirely different player today than he was a generation ago. He still has a firm grip on the game and how it needs to be played imo, but his ability to get players to buy in appears lost. Time for new, younger blood from the top down, but I suspect Pegula doesn’t want to pay the price any longer. I mean how many ex-coaches, GMs, and players remained on the payroll after they were dismissed? I’ve lost track over the years.

I’d much rather he resume sharing intelligence with Ukraine, resume giving them military equipment and other aid, and convince Musk to resume Starlink service to the Ukraine military.

Of course a better D group will help, that’s obvious. But I get tired of people (not you) saying fix that and the goaltending will be better. That’s only true to a point. We could have six All Stars on the blue line but that won’t make our goaltenders better technicians between the pipes. I’ve seen too many goals against where it’s goalie vs shooter with clean looks and our goalies are out of position. And their lateral movement can’t be any worse at times. Just not enough stops at those critical moments so we need good goaltending, regardless. UPL seems to wear down from over use, which is gonna impact his mechanics, so I’d make him a backup who can give you 25 games or so while a quality starter takes that job.

Calling this administration “dumb” is an insult to dummies.

And the goaltending.

As I said in another thread, the minimum return for JJ must be a top 2nd pair RH D who can move up to first pair in a pinch when needed. The Rangers can’t satisfy that requirement. But KA will certainly settle for less. I don’t give a crap if JJ wants out or not, he’s a valuable asset that we control for the next several years. He can continue to play well for us as he auditions for impresses potential trade partners in the future.

He’s been struggling with his positioning most of the season.

KA is the Matt Ellis of people to sit next to.

Any deal for JJ better bring back a great 2nd pair RH defenseman who can also provide top pair minutes when needed.

And nobody projects more than him, too. Read a headline today that read, “DOGE is The Deep State.” Didn’t get around to reading the article, but that headline brought to mind all the projecting he’s done over the years.

The decision to stop sharing intel on Russia with Ukraine is literally getting innocent Ukrainians killed. President dumb phuck has blood on his hands.

How can anyone expect Zelensky to capitulate to a terrorist like Putin? He shouldn’t cede an inch of territory to that maniac.

Yeah, in this day and age we have to closely scrutinize news sources, especially when it’s a repost on twitter. If the person who posted that actually knew what it was then he is a douche of the highest order. In actuality, Trump has never been less popular in Great Britain and the rest of Europe.

Are you under the impression that this is recent? Because it’s from a pro Trump rally in 2018.

Europeans, especially eastern Europeans, know and understand their history very well, despite some far right movements in the region. It's a travesty that mango man and his ilk have zero understanding of it and the enormous sacrifices that were made. And the idea that he doesn't respect our membership in the greatest alliance of nations, DEMOCRACIES ALL, that the world has ever known is even more egregious.

“Allowed the right to have a choice.” That is laughable. Are you even remotely acquainted with media ownership in this country and who was central in having our media ownership laws repealed?

Google Vance’s relationship and advocacy of Curtis Yarvin, who openly seeks to replace our democratic system of checks and balances with a dictatorship or a “CEO of the Country.” We live in a bizzaro world.
