    Hamilton was on WGR this morning. He saw the Amerks play recently, and he remarked in a tone that was actually somewhat apologetic (like, the bearer of bad news) that Nylander was, by far, the worst players for the Amerks in the game. Just nothing going on. That led to a discussion of the good/very good d-men whom FGMTM passed over in order to take Nylander. Effin' FGMTM.

    Doesn’t make it the captain, though.

    I’ll go with an Italian hero. I’ll give A’s to meatball and reuben. P.s. We can use sandwiches that are sorta known as subs, right?
  4. That Aud Smell
    Elite sandwich, but that’s Marian Hossa. Excellent, versatile, reliable, all-purpose. But not the captain.
  5. That Aud Smell
    I’d wager some or all of those poor souls were foster children.

    I think there's no choice but to let it ride with Nylander. It'd be poor asset management to move him now. I trust JBOT with his economics background will see that -- the sunk costs, the current value, the current cost, the near-term future costs, the potential for upside. As for Baptiste and Bailey, neither of them were drafted high. I can't see how they'd be considered busts. Interesting take, esp. regarding FGMTM's fondness for pedigree.

    Good on the younger cousin. And, yes. Jim's is more in the nature of drunken eats. So much so, I don't even consider them comparable. If I want some Mighty, but can only get Taco Bell, I'll move onto another option.

    I have no idea what the issue might be. My uninformed guess: He lacks confidence and, as a result, finds his interest and resolve fading. I've resolved to forget about him, to stop counting on him to be an NHLer.

    On balance, I think this is correct. Otoh, it’s a little dangerous to generalize. There are substantial elements of any fanbase that are just awful - Bills included.
  10. That Aud Smell
    Oh, man. What a gem of a song. Amen.
  11. That Aud Smell
    Agreed.
  12. That Aud Smell
    the day the music died. I think that warrants swearing off a team.
  13. That Aud Smell
    God willing, not this young man, ever.

    So what's the deal with the new OC? I like the sound of this.
  15. That Aud Smell
    Good catch. We can all readily infer who most likely does care about that sort of thing.

    Nothing much to add to what's been said upthread. I believe it's metaphysically impossible to switch teams. I have a friend from my college days who grew up in Vancouver, and he was a rabid Canucks fan. He's a musician (one of my favourite songs of his even has a line about Vancouver beating Colorado (which was back when the Avalanche were great)), and now lives and makes a living with music in Nashville. He says he's now a Preds fan, full stop. Like, the Canucks were in town and he posted a picture to FB of him at the arena wearing a Preds shirt. I call BS on that. One of my very favorite touchstones from my days of learning is this quote from AE Housman: "The house of delusions is cheap to build, but drafty to live in, and ready at any instant to fall." I'm so sorry to hear about the medical issues for your wife -- God bless.

    I legitimately LOL’d in the theatre. Led with a “bahhh”.

    I saw it last weekend. I’m of an age where we went to see A New Hope in the theaters as young kids. But I’m no fanboy or deep-dive geek (for example, it remains unclear to me who or what Snope is/was — I don’t much care either). We loved Force Awakens (such a charming homage), and we might’ve liked Rogue One even more. Last Jedi is a funking mess. I saw one critic call it a “glorious mess”, and I was like, no, it’s just a a mess. A confused jumble of lotsa stuff. It just didn’t hold together and hang, as a story. Josie had an apt metaphor above — they came out with brown. My wife had a charitable observation: The middle movie is often the hardest to make. OTOH, Empire Strikes Back is arguably the best of all the movies made.

    Amen. I seem to recall the Quebec ice being ... idiosyncratic somehow as well.

    From the replay, it looked like it pinged off a camera that's installed in a recess in the end boards (near a GEICO ad).
  21. That Aud Smell
    Never a play-caller? Also: I just learned that Dennison had never really called plays before himself. So weird.
  22. That Aud Smell
    Fail Army could post Tyrod's head being slammed to the ground against Jax -- for the lulz, of course. So lulzy.
  23. That Aud Smell
    From the Twitter Source tells @sportingnews that Mike McCoy & Rob Chudzinski are top two candidates for @buffalobills offensive coordinator vacancy. Mike & Chud both have @panthers roots like Bills HC Sean McDermott
  24. That Aud Smell
    Mike Rodak tweets: Potential OC name that would make sense for Bills: Eagles QB coach John DeFilippo. His work with Carson Wentz earned him HC looks this offseason, and currently working with Andy Reid/Doug Pederson system in Philly that Sean McDermott might prefer.
  25. That Aud Smell
    Josh Reed from WIVB tweets: Brian Daboll is a name to watch for next #Bills OC. The Alabama OC was on William & Mary coaching staff when Sean McDermott was a player there. Daboll was with Pats for several seasons, so he knows the division. Bonus, he’s a WNY native and went to St. Francis.
