Eleven

It is. He certainly outlasted Hodgson and then some.

Honestly, I have wondered this since he was drafted. I don't want to be mean, but he does come off as a little, yes, dumb. I'm sure this is going to generate some controversy, and that's not my aim here.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Sabres are still due compensation from Ottawa for Rob Ray. In other words, you're right.

If Dunleavy had described Pearl Harbor, we would have continued sleeping through the war.

Yeah. I heard about the trade in the shower this morning and was pretty excited--Krebs, Tuch, and a first sounded like a very good return given where I think Vegas will end up this year. And then, an hour later, I learned that the first is protected, and, well, it took a lot of shine off. I still think it's ok though.

This is definitely a common opinion on the non-Sabres hockey Internet. Vegas is in the bottom of its division and probably isn't going to be playing hockey too far into April unless it gets some players back from injury. (This is why I'm pissed about the top ten protection on the pick.)

Which way will the bicycle go?

We are going to be very happy with this guy.

Neglected? No. They outright refused, as they should have.

Adams press conference on WGR right now.

This pisses me off a bit.

I like what I’m hearing so far

Your last two sentences are unproven and probably incorrect. Do you see the problem with your "batshit crazy" conclusion now?

Yep. High risk and high reward.

The latest proposal I saw had Mack coming back from Chicago via a three-way deal with New Orleans. Don't get me wrong, I love Khalil Mack, but the Bills really need to protect against an injury to Allen.

Right? I'm not even going to try to watch tonight. In fact, I'm deliberately going to avoid it. I can't have another night like last Thursday, when I was awake until 1.

Good point. I think we can eliminate that factor.

Wow. I had no idea until this post encouraged me to google it.

It's really difficult to say. Fehr was appointed executive director in De member 2010, but he was involved before that. And we don't know when Beach approached the union--or even whether he was a member of it.

The most Rangeresque part of this whole thing.

She was raised atheist but is not an atheist anymore. Not sure when she changed. That's nice, and glad you had fun. This thread is for sports.

It was a boring game, and at no point was I worried that the Bills would lose it. No they don't, no they don't, yes they did, which is the point that destroys the first two, and no it wouldn't.

Let's keep this misery to the appropriate thread, ok?

Just a few observations. 1. This team was without energy and boring. This isn't like the Boston loss. This is "hey, we won one in OT so let's not bother too hard tonight, ok, boys?" Terrible, and that's on the captains. 2. Cozens is the de facto 1C while Pullup and Attitude Problem are out. That means he can't get sucked into 5-minute majors by the likes of Lemieux. Shape up, kid. 3. Rasmus A. and Oloffson continue to punch above their weight classes.
