Ghost of Dwight Drane

Like Neo said....you have 14 of 18 covered. Plus...hey!...how about the Rhythm Method??? It's a 20-1 shot to get pregnant even when you know you are fertile. How incompetent must you be to actually GET pregnant if you are truly trying to avoid it ahead of time? That's the biggest point. Go to the clinic and get your free bag of condoms, or buy the $5 tube of spermicide, or get your birth control pills that ARE covered. I have researched the different methods. I also give my dog flea medicine. It works in the same way. You never get to see the flea.

Uh huh.... I'm not even reacting to the decision. It's the attitude like I have said before. 4 posters here have said "Oppressive to women", "next they will outlaw Advil", "Society treats women like garbage", "Women are not free"..... Come'on....who's shitting who? You either value something or you don't. People are crying because a private company doesn't want to pay so someone can hormonally squeegee out a human life. Guess what? Don't work for them, or better yet, don't drink that Boone's Mill then take on half the boys in the neighborhood. Insurance doesn't pay for MY NEEDS. I would love to have a child. Guess what? I pay $400 a year to keep sperm on ice, and it will be $10,000 to ATTEMPT to have a kid. I doubt I ever will because I'm not to thrilled with playing God, but it's ironic that nobody worries about a man's desire to create, maintain, and nurture life....yet it is oppressive because someone has to pay $13.50 out of their own pocket to go to the McDonald's drive through of preventing and/or destroying life.

How's that?

If you are about to kill your own child, at least man-up and pay the $13.50 out of your own pocket.

:) :) :) How's the weather in.....LA?

Good deal. If something was going on down there, it usually doesn't cause blood....but glad they are checking.

Well the good thing is a CT is probably going to catch something serious. Hopefully just a goofy infection or something. Make sure he checks the family jewels. Every guy that has been hit there knows how the pain shoots to your abdomen. Usually if that is the case, it is more of a pulling or dull ache instead of a sharp pain though.

What made you think you had a kidney stone in the first place? Pain? The CT would pick up pretty much anything serious in the abdomen even if not related.

I'm just teasing both of you. Actually NHL.com had an article up. The freaking Babych brothers went 2+3 as well I believe.....

That's how I view it. Jimbo could have wanted to keep that untouchable image intact, but instead he embraced his mortality and frailty, but still is fighting until the final whistle. I can only think that the support boosts him. Nobody likes to see someone suffer or even think about it. Especially when they have legendary status, be it an athlete or a family member.

Syl-vain Before I get banned by Freeman....

Now that we have seen the new GM in action and his stamp has certainly been put on the team....it's only fair to reflect and compare the 2 men who have led the Sabres front office the past 17 years...... In honor of Nick Bakay, who ranks in Buffalo lore somewhere between Rick James, and the Kazoo.....I present: "The Tale of the Tape - Tim Murray vs. Darcy Regier" Signature Transaction..... Darcy: Failing to sign Drury and Briere Murray: High bidder on 4 dozen plaid shirts from Overstock.com Advantage?.........Push Last seen........ Murray: High Fiving his staff after signing Gionta and Moulson Darcy: High Fiving his neighbor on the 12th green at Elma Meadows Advantage?.........Murray Biggest Nemesis.......

You're so vain......

The Houdas?

The PYATTS!!!!!

You just don't mind violation as much when you're given a gallon jar of Vicodin and Ativan......

You might be on to something.....maybe get rid of the offsides rule, but have an American Gladiators style Tennis Ball Gun mounted to the top of the goal with 20 balls to use the entire game.

That's great. I hope no matter the journey, RJ gives the fans a chance to show their appreciation. I've been amazed how public Jim Kelly has been given his machismo and legendary status. He has humbled and then some, and I am sure he feeds off the love no matter how tough it gets. Fans love RJ. Privacy is fine and everyone is different, but having been through stuff myself, even when I wanted to crawl into my own burrow, friends would bust down the door with food, booze and laughs. I always remember it even though I didn't want it.

The good news is there is a great chance to knock this puppy back and give him many more years. The bad news is, realistically, we probably have heard the last broadcast. That has nothing to do with fighting or will, just the logistics of it all. Prayers.

Remember, that was the big beef with Vancouver. He had constant back issues, and his dad held him out of camp so he could get treatment from private doctors. That sent Vancouver over the edge with him/them.

Seriously though....I don't think he's a lazy kid. Do you notice how stiff and upright he skates during neutral zone play? I can't really compare him to anyone....maybe Rick Vaive at the end of his career. I just don't see those mechanics very often.

He doesn't drink alcohol, while 98% of the NHL does...43% of them probably classified as functioning alcoholics. #Analytics He has chronic back issues. It's a lot easier to not feel the pain when you can score a goal than it is when it's time to prevent one.....

PS...the draft strategy of taking guys with injures is backfiring as well. Kiko already blew out a knee in 2010. Who knows what will be left in the tank now. Woods missed chunks of time with his ankles and already missed time last year and had his 2nd offseason surgery. Errrr........

I think they are toast. You have a 4-3 scheme with a lack of proper linebackers to begin with. Preston Brown is not a cover LB and Spikes is more a run guy. Your best TE option is Keith Rivers, and who goes to the other side, Manny Lawson? They are in trouble. The trade just backfired before the season even started. You could have traded down instead of up, got a Kiko clone in Shazier and picked up another safety, and kept your #1 next year which now looks like it will be a top 8 pick again. Watkins better be the second coming....

"You guys say"..... Murray couldn't NAME you 1 member of the Buffalo sports media. It was a Blackie/Gibby whisper.....
