    NFW Vanek is an H-HOFer. He is, however, in the F-HOF.
  2. That Aud Smell
    ^ excellent

    I read that he wanted to delay announcement until Monday on off chance he’d get the alternate call to Pro Bowl. So maybe it’s not *that* bad? Meaning, he should be “okay” going forward. (Whatever passes for okay for a retired NFL lineman.)
  4. That Aud Smell
    Gah. I really, truly hope that it's a situation that becomes much less complicated once he stops playing ball.

    What a beast and warrior that guy was/is. And a stand-up dude.

    It's Wood. Neck.

    Taylor seems like the most logical candidate -- that hit he took at the end of the JAX game was ferocious. OTOH This is a good point. Yet OTOH, those head traumas can be weird. Delayed. And so on.

    Mainstream beat reporter Tweeted that the player in question asked teammates and organization to say nothing until the official announcement -- hence, we don't know who it is. And the original reporting source now says the injury is a career ender.

    He RT’d a video clip that showed the Sabres leaving the ice, and all (or mostly all) fist bumped Eichel as they passed him (he was stationed at a spot where he could fist bump everyone). ROR just moved by, head down. White gave it the “eyes” emoji. Then he deleted his RT.

    First: Ew. Second: I think not at all. In point of fact, "we're all buddies" can often cut against that level of success.

    McCoy has been out there practicing with the pro bowlers. Benjamin is a possibility. (If so, GOD, what of the fact that he played on a busted up knee?!) Taylor could be a possibility too. That concussion against JAX was terrifying.

    The fact that they're having a presser, that several sources know, but won't say who or what, leads me to infer that it's going to be a sad, career-ending sort of thing.
  13. That Aud Smell
    Ah, fair. I had forgotten that. What I'd read is that Eichel was more "clowning" on ROR. But, yeah -- the middle school vibe there is bad -- all the cool kids are together, you're not there, the coolest kid is poking fun at you, and it's on Instagram. In any case, Eichel and Reinhart *barely* exchanged atta boys in that same clip. And White took down his RT of the clip.

    Twitter ablaze with rumour that the Bills are going to hold a press conference (?!) on Monday (?!) to discuss a serious injury to a starter from the O-side of the ball. So odd.
  15. That Aud Smell
    The contract is still a bit worrisome, but KO is basically back to being a good top-6 forward. So, hooray for that.

    I am intrigued by the fact that Kane's not been a part of this turnaround. Of course, that only tends to confirm my bias that the guy's not going to be a (key) part of a successful team. As to the second item: What a fart in a bottle that is. Jeremy White should be ashamed for giving that legs. As one of the replies noted, ROR was sucking air from an on-ice incident -- he was just struggling past. EDIT: He deleted his quote-retweet with the "eyes" emoji of the clip showing the purported fist-bump-snub. I think that there are portions of every fan base who won't be satisfied until every major sport is basically a WWE story line. Based on what? The fact that they go hat shopping together? The fact that they are seen eating at the same restaurants around town several times a month?

    Anyone see this bit of footage? https://twitter.com/NickiJhabvala/status/956228021945618437/video/1 (Sorry it can't embed.) I want no part of a physically impressive QB prospect who's inaccurate. None. EJ was a physical specimen. I remember shaking his hand when I saw him in downtown Buffalo after the draft, and his hand just, like, enveloped mine. I was like "whoa! this guy's a horse!" And then he couldn't throw darts into smallish windows. Please, please, Bills -- pass on Allen.

    Lord, is it so much work. Mostly cleaning. And often cold and wet, too. Yaassss
  19. That Aud Smell
    Please let it be so.

    Reading the article: I totally had a flash of intuition that there was/is a love triangle going on there -- perhaps unbeknownst to Mr. Nilsson.

    Our twinned franchise -- Cain to our Abel (or vice versa). We are destined to meet the Canucks in the SCF in 2021 -- following each team's 50th anniversary season. Whither rickshaw?

    What I heard indicated that they're approaching the issue the right way. It will be interesting to watch how it unfolds.

    ^ That sort of thing is happening throughout upstate and western NY, and beyond. The former St. Gerard in Buffalo sat moth-balled and neglected for many years until a local Islam faith community purchased it. http://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/news/2017/02/3/st--gerards--catholic--church--buffalo--east-delevan--father-mazur--muslim--mosque One trick that can arise with these transitions is how the local Diocese handles some of the Christian artifacts and fixtures that the purchasers must remove from the premises.

    For the file regarding why certain fans distrust/mistrust Russ Brandon and want him exorcised from the franchise. http://buffalonews.com/2018/01/24/bills-subtract-analytics-staff/ Brandon gave a glimpse into their approach for a June 2016 story in The Buffalo News. Brandon conceded it's fair to say Lyons' work pertained more to the Bills' ticket pricing than with X's and O's. "We look at it from a holistic perspective," Brandon said. "We hired Michael to oversee all of our business analytics at well. He is a crucial part of the mix between marketing and content and the decisions we make in all platforms of our business. "Most people assume the analytics person is driving data and running it down the hall to the GM. But it's a lot bigger than that. In a quote from Brandon's interview that didn't make it into the story, he noted Lyons' role in generating football data was predicated on the direction given. "With Jim Monos and the player personnel department and with Rex and his coordinators and [contract negotiator] Jim Overdorf and his department," Brandon said, "Michael is able to provide information that is almost custom to what they may or may not be looking for."
