Liger, this is the point that you repeatedly are missing. No one wants him gone. It's a question of cost.

Insolvency and illiquidity are very, very different things. I know that every hook you can, you'll hitch to, in order to complain about the Pegulas. I'm still not sure why. Is it because you can't buy the team? Neither can any of the rest of us. They did what every other business is doing right now. Actually, they did it later than many. (And earlier than many will.)

Anyone who is diagnosed as terminal would jump at it. France, duh.

$2M or very slightly higher. Not $4M (I know you are not the person who suggested that).

I'm no M. Shamalyad...screw it, I can't spell it and I'm not looking it up.

I love cooking. I loathe cooking for one. And I can't find steak or wild mushrooms or exotic greens--three of the ingredients in their freaking amazing steak sandwich--in Buffalo right now. Naptime. The sign of a good meal.

Gaustad gets my vote because of the face-offs. O'Reilly barely beat Peca in my vote. It's a really tough call. Both wanted out when things weren't going their way personally, so there's some selfishness on both sides. Peca's hits were crushing, but I'll bet O'Reilly's would be just as much so with the same rules. Peca was the better leader; O'Reilly the more talented player offensively. I think there will be enough leaders on this hypothetical team, so I went with O'Reilly.

Omigosh I'm so glad I did this. My dwindling savings won't be happy, but some people like retail therapy and others like gastronomic therapy...

I don't know that much, either, but viruses take a while to analyze. Then they have to find the right vaccine. HIV is a virus, for example, and we've known about it for what, 40 years? We can treat some/most of the symptoms now, but we don't have a vaccine--and not for lack of effort / funding.

Just like it says. The GM does NOT inherit the "hand he was dealt"; they all start at the same hypothetical baseline. You know the three choices. Nothin' else to do today anyway, so might as well try to justify your pick.

In other words, they just haven't hired the right GM.

It's insane to pay Larsson $4M. Not hard; insane.

Nah even Lazenby got with Emanuelle.

Roger Federer pasted Mayor McCheese to the last brick wall.

Yeah, this was discussed upthread a week or so ago. It ended up in a pretty big argument.

He's probably talking to Vogl. Seriously, though, Vogl has a lot more experience in the business than Lysowski has. It wouldn't surprise me if Vogl were correct.

That conflicts directly with TBN's report that Sinclair, Bandura, and van Rysdam had been laid off, not fired. Same...

A source told The Buffalo News that Sabres General Manager Jason Botterill is among more than three dozen employees who took a temporary tiered percentage pay cut. Missed opportunity.

I was so irritable on Easter Sunday that I didn't bother with a special meal. I'm making up for it with takeout from Oliver's tomorrow. It's been four long weeks and it's time to treat myself a bit. Unfortunately my favorite appetizer^ is not takeout-able, but everything else that I like on the menu is there! ^it is a soft-boiled egg (in shell) with generous pieces of smoked pork belly in it, topped with a truffle foam. It's tough to think of an egg that's worth $9. This one is.

Ketchup is for children.

Rarely do I come to the defense of Jason Botterill, but it may be that Larsson only was willing to sign for one year, or only willing to sign for one year at that salary.

I think we're picking up on that too. I wouldn't worry too much about the US using emergency powers to keep all the ventilators in the country. Or drinking it, in the case of Florida.

LOL Florida has deemed WWE to be an essential business: https://uproxx.com/prowrestling/florida-deems-wwe-essential-business/ What is it in the water in that state?

Exactly.

Which is fine, but if you're him, are you going to take $2.25M to stay here or are you going to take $2.25M to go to a contender?
