Weave

The hell is yacht rock?

Almost like Jbott had his mind made up about which coach he wanted back when PH was fired.

And now I hate what his username has become to me.

Haven't read through the whole thread. Forgive if this has been stated ad nauseum. I guess we got the Chinese menu coach. A little from A and a little from B. Been a head coach, not long enough to be a retread. And is an outside of the box pick. So everyone is happy, right? My one and only take, King Jack has needed a strong leader in this organization cuz he's a big personality and he needs an even bigger one to keep his ass motivated for more than the first 40 games. Maybe Chris Farley the motivational speaker coach is what Jack needs to keep him focused for 96 games (see what I did there?). I sure hope it works. I hate being apathetic every damned season.

No discussion about the new plans to prop up farms hit by the Trump tariffs by using the tax money to buy farm output and distribute it? Holy central planning, Batman. Even Communist China is stepping away from that boondoggle. If only there were a free market answer....

Mocking bird sounds right. And they can be pretty territorial too.

It was inevitable. Like Thanos.

Buffalo.

My son was in little league baseball and we were heading over the the Asst Coach’s house after games to watch Sabres playoff games. He had one of those fancy shmancy big plasma TVs. Kid has since finished HS, gone to college, graduated, gotten his first “career “ job, and moved out. And plasma TVs are obsolete. Seems like yesterday, re The Boy. Seems like an eternity re: the Sabres.

Who is this guy again?

Umm.... isn’t this exactly what you are accusing other of?

2 min/lb is the standard time for medium rare. They know what they are doing.

I’ve always had a soft spot for StL as well. I’m good with them being the next 1st time winner.

Those are some pretty ugly revelations. Canadian youth hockey seems to bring out some of the ugliest stuff. Me personally, I'm not sure my choice to lead the team out of the abyss would be a redemption case. Maybe that says something about me, maybe it doesn't. I just know that if I absolutely had to get this next decision right, I'm not leading off with this particular back story. I mean, when I read those snippets I thought of Cal O'Reilly. And I don't need that potential in the mix.

Who is on 1st base.

All y'all missed the point. It wasn't that one of those guys made a difference, it was that no cancer is evident on those squads and both players are contributing well to success leading up to, and in, the playoffs. They weren't cancers. And they didn't need to go to build a winning team.

The pain for me resides in the idea that two supposed cancers that couldn’t be a part of this teams’ success are enjoying a great deal of success while our team continues to whither.

Amen.

We’ll be greeted as liberators.....

I think we are more challenged than most teams in regards to attracting top FAs. Instability behind the bench and underwhelming recent seasons being the primary reasons. I think there is a perceived lack of direction as well.

Almost non-existent if you don't want to join a club. Only other pay as you go range in WNY that I can think of is the Firing Pin in Bergen. In a pinch there are semi-formal shooting lanes set up in the public land of the Alabama Swamp on Bartel Road, but the demand is high and you may have to wait for a group to clear. It's pretty high use, especially on weekends. Bonus, you may see eagles while out there.

Make sure you stop in at Silver Lake Brewing Company in Perry too.

StL was the first team I ever saw Buffalo play live as a child. They have had my rooting interest ever since. I’ll cheer for them over those gat damn, no good, puck kicking cheaters any day, draft pick be damned.

Anyone rooting against the Canes has to be rooting against the Stars, right? I mean, Dallas cheated their way to a Cup at our expense. At least Carolina earned it fair and square, even if they didn’t get our best.

Latest output from the Tweeter in Chief had US tariffs on Chinese goods raising to 25% for more items. This guy has no understanding of how economics works. He’s already affected my employer to the tune of 20% of sales revenue, and its resulted in one layoff already. Here comes another “stimulus”. Trump hasn’t figured out yet that China doesn’t pay the tariif. We do, in the form of higher prices. And that tariff will be met by a counter tariff in China, which will result in lower market share of our products over there. This is not protecting US jobs. It is costing them.
