Why are you constantly trying to connect him to child molestation?

Because someone bites. Every time.

It's insipid to make such remarks about someone.

Ban worthy stuff right here.

There's a difference between being directly involved in the act, and knowing the act went on and trying to keep a reputation on the up and up.

 

So...how many of the responders had to google it?

 

How many spent more than 7 seconds on it?

You know, I disagree with so many people on this board on so many different topics. You're the only one that makes me wonder what kind of man you are.

I've had a hard time the past few months. I love the Bills. I love Buffalo. I used to love the Sabres and sort of still do like a nephew in rehab for heroin and theft.....and I shut up. Because the city is giddy and everyone is thrilled, and yes, on a nominal course it is a great thing the sports franchises of the city seem secure. The idolization of the false messiah is really hitting me though. In the same sense, it is not right to bare false witness. It becomes an internal struggle when 95% can't or don't understand what goes on. I have to use what I am confident in to 95% and it isn't a fun feeling. PA once said "if only you could use your powers for good". Well, people want to feel good. Sometimes what is just and good doesn't always feel good.

 

I am welcome to a ban, as I will never promise to shut up about what I feel is right. A .38 slug may shut me up, or the will of a higher up.

 

Yes, your post was "lighthearted", but based in truth. You know deep down you can identify a trend. That's what you were implying. That's all I am doing as well....

You are a smart person with connections and the ability to process information.

 

If I gave you $200 per billable hour and you spent the time, I am sure you would understand. You may not like it, but you would understand.....

Oy. Who's being idolized? He's just a man. And no one dislikes that sort of talk more than Pegula, if his reaction to a mention of "Pegulaville" is any indication. (He looked like he was going to barf in his mouth.)

Yes. Being enlightened is a great burden.

In this regard, please don't presume to know what I actually hold true, what I have purportedly identified, or what I was implying. It's apparent to me that you're wrong on all counts.

I understand your personal struggle, but you do not have to inject it into every conversation. You don't have to like the Sabres, you don't have to like the Pegula's, you may think we're all hero worshippers of some golden calf, and some of that may be warranted, but then what are you doing here? You're not furthering a conversation, you're clearly not convincing anybody, you're just annoying people to the point of not listening to you. Either you truly believe in this stuff and just don't know how to present it in any sort of productive way, you're just trolling, or some combination thereof. If its the first or the last, why bother wasting any time on us?

Didn't have to Google it because I know the narrative. Awfully heavy insinuation with only loose dot connecting as far as I can tell. When those accusations fly, there should be some concrete evidence.

 

While many Are in worship Terry mode or in Smell's case Kim, a lot of us are happy he did what he did but leery of the man and his ability to lead our franchises.

I'll say: The more she talks and creates a public persona, the more my little game loses its sense of lightness and fun.

 

That is NOT some anti-feminist jab. At all. It's just that now she's going to be a real person to us (albeit a public figure). She's no longer some blank canvas upon which I can idly create my own Daisy Buchanan.

 

And as for being leery of Terry's ability to lead the franchises forward -- like I said: He's just a man. And she's just a woman. We're all broken creatures.

[inkman]

We're all broken creatures.

I think Phil said it best, albeit quite angrily:

Like I said....it's probably selfish at this point. I always loved the Bills and Sabres and as an adult, am probably 80/30% of where I was on the 2 franchises as life goes on....but it's a HUGE part of Buffalo and what brings the good people together.

 

When the Spidey Senses....or spirit for those inclined.....leave you unsettled....it blows. I should be thrilled the Bills seem like they are here for the next X years.

 

I guess I'm just a hypocrite. The guy who sold me my Chevy probably is married and banging the babysitter, the mechanic is on meth and hasn't paid child support in 18 months, and Billy Fuccillo....well...nevermind.

Terry "your heart out" Pegula. Enough talk about feelings.

 

His current record as owner of the Sabres is 100-121-33. His Sabres winning percentage is .393.

For comparison, Michael Jordan's Hornets/Bobcats winning percentage is .362.

 

The Sabres are on pace for 14-59-9 this season, which would bring his Sabres winning percentage down to .349.

The Hornets will probably go .500 this season, which would bring Jordan's percentage up to .387.

The Hornets only need 21 more wins this season, or a season record of 25-57 to assure Jordan of exceeding a .349 winning percentage as Charlotte owner.

 

Unfortunately, Pegula is unlikely to improve much on his 2-3 record as Bills owner. It's looking like he'll finish the year 4-7, with a .363 winning percentage, slightly better than His Airness, for now. Welcome to Pegula^{ville leino.}

 

When Jordan surpasses Pegula this year, will you take it as further evidence of Jordan's greatness? Will you take it as further evidence of Pegula's greatness? To me, it seems like Terry is getting dunked on, and may even be posterized. It's as if Mike is driving down the lane, tongue hanging out, and the only thing in his path is Terry looking around like he lost his dog. Ka-boom!

[LTS]

Uhhh sure.

5am is that grey area, where one might ask oneself, am I making Pegula/Jordan comparisons very early in the morning, or am I making Jordan/Pegula comparisons very very late at night?

 

Consider the fact then, in the clear light of day, that Wayne Gretzky's final record as owner/coach of the Coyotes was 141-161-24. That's .432. You guessed it, way better than Pegula's record as owner of the Sabres.

 

It's like, Gretzky needs a modern day highlight, full HD. So, he picks up the puck behind his own net and is taking it end to end. He triple dekes Pegula, still looking for his dog. Oh no! He's supposed to be minding the game! Gretzky's all alone! He fakes a shot, fakes again, loops around the behind the goal and taps the wrap-around into the empty net! Arms raised! The Great One! He wins! What an owner! The crowd goes wild!

 

Even the Sabres fans who are in attendance are in awe, just knodding approval and slow clapping. If only we had a owner like Wayne Gretzky.
