He inherited all those people. It took him a minute to realize that he needed to let them all go. And characterizing Marrone as “walking” is disingenuous. He tried a power-play and Terry wasn’t having it so he told him “there’s the door.” if you really thought he was worth keeping he would’ve given into his demands. And yeah, Rex was a mistake. But a short-lived one. Is Kraft suddenly a crappy owner because he hired Mayo for a season?

After the Whistle reported today that hes not demanding a trade. He wants first line minutes and to be on PP #1 and he doesnt want to be just another guy on a new team. Sounds like hes sticking around but he's pissed that the team is a dumpster fire and he is a lot more outspoken than the quiet kid we drafted. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seneca-side-note-vol-66-too-much-talking/id1590573108?i=1000714295627

Felt the same about Nassau Coliseum. Have a ton of memories in that place with the Isles and concerts. But it was also a shithole, and its time had come and gone. UBS is a great arena. Don't miss Nassau at all despite the great memories.

I need to give credit where credit is due. Today’s reported tongue lashing of Iran’s and Israel’s leaders gave them cover to say they had no choice. They save face. How long it will last is the question. It’s a good start.

I am not celebrating anything. And this is taking what you seen happen and making up the reasons for it. You do not know any of this.

Sabres are tied with the Jets for longest active playoff drought. Sabres playoff drought is the longest in NHL history. The Browns have been to the post season twice in the past 5 years.

Looking for 2 training camp tickets if anyone has any available (last year we had vip tickets and had the time of our life) I’d be willing to pay for those as well.

No illegal immigrants are breaking the law, immigrants, like my friends, are not as I said completely moronic comparison.

Interesting how May 2018 is missing from your timeline - almost like that part completely wrecks your argument. Clever omission… just not clever enough. Why would Iran give Biden a deal? Trump tore up the last one to score points with his base, proving US diplomacy has a four-year shelf life. And with Iran aligned with Russia, they were never going to hand Biden a win he could parade as a foreign policy comeback.

No, that is the NY Jets and Cleveland Browns of the NFL.

So what will allow that to happen now? Regime is still in place. Pursuit of Nuclear capability will still happen. Region will still be engulfed in holy wars as it has for nearly its entire existence. What exactly was accomplished again? A temporary slowdown in Irans nuclear capability?

I got my 6 for 11/3. No issues at all!

Marrone walked, Russ "Don't let Rex leave without a contract" Brandon, and then Doug "nobody told me we fired the HC" Whaley. That is very dysfunctional and mirrors the Sabres.

Was that Adams’ worst press conference ever? He’s had some doozeys, but that was next level.

I remember hearing a Ellis Lankster interview and just said to myself, Wow! Just Wow!

Pegula only owned the Bills for 3 years prior to bringing in McDermott and Beane and the team was around .500 those seasons which was better than the 3 seasons prior to Pegula taking ownership. I would hardly call that dysfunctional. Not saying Pegula belongs in the the upper echelon of team owners but he did something not many others would have done and that is secure the team's location in Orchard Park for the foreseeable future. He also spends money when he needs to. That's good enough for me.

The evidence is what I laid out. As to the "why now," I think it is obvious, and it isn't strictly my opinion, it's from listening to countless discussions with Israeli officials, mostly ex ambassadors and others involved in dealing with this while living there and undergoing these relentless attacks. To respond to the question, I think the Oct 7 2023 inhumane barbarism started it. Prior to that, things were kind of quiet by local standards. Hamas and the Palestinians enjoyed employment within Israel and the Israelis mistakenly thought that at long last there could be some kind of coexistence. Then we witness the most barbaric attack in modern history. Babies killed, families butchhered and filmed, and a host of other unimaginable atrocities. Israel responds by attempting to finally eliminate Hamas, which is nothing more than a murderous org taking intl relief and converting it into an underground weapons delivery system. Hezbollah chips in, and hundreds of thousands of Israelis have to leave northern Israel. The entire country is involved in supporting their defense. The economy is no longer functioning with so many displaced and so many reservists away from their usual careers. Hamas gets set back and then the brilliance of Hezbollah getting severely castrated by the beeper thing. Syria collapses, as the Israelis use that to destroy existing air defenses and create a corridor through there to Iran. That was a big deal, and I pointed that out at the time. Now you have a very reduced capability from Hamas and Hezbollah, and the Iranian weapons program still a major threat. Not just nuc procurement, but a massive ballistic missile capability. Guess what? They've got a clear path to Tehran after decades of threatened and backed up murder. They've had scores of human assets inside Iran preparing for this moment for years, and the activated them, building drone launchers and other offensive weapons from within. Air defense eliminated, The timing was perfect, as was the execution. It is the dream scenario for the west, the middle east countries wanting to live in peace and anyone else who is sick and tired of the worst regime on earth.

Bump. If anyone is interested in the aftermath of DR's banning. After reading, especially the first few pages, one might want to ask this question: Why is Billstime/Homelander still here?

On the other side of the coin the Iranians did not trust the inspectors as they suspected the International Atomic Energy Agency personnel were providing intelligence about the program and the facilities to the U.S. and Israel.

Since its founding in 1948, Israel has faced near continuous hostility or tension with neighbors and regional actors, including multiple wars and ongoing threats from non-state groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Israel and Iran have never engaged in a direct, multi-week military conflict. Despite years of mutual hostility, Israel and Iran have mostly fought through proxies (e.g., Hezbollah in Lebanon, militias in Syria). As of now, no prolonged, direct, declared war has occurred between the two. Previous U.S. administrations blocked or restrained Israeli military action against Iran. The U.S. has consistently pressured Israel to avoid attacking Iran directly, especially when it might trigger regional war or undermine diplomatic efforts like the JCPOA. Netanyahu has long pushed for action against Iran’s nuclear program for over a decade, Netanyahu has publicly called Iran the greatest threat to Israel and advocated military preparedness. Netanyahu played Trump and will do so again. He knew to a certainty Iran wouldn't negotiate out of this. He leveraged Trumps fake powers of negotiation to get a US approved military action against Iran. Something he wasn't able to do before. Then for the cherry he pulled in the US military to do his bidding. Now we celebrate Trump? Please. This is the story teller Trump doing what he does. He got played by a more intelligent regime plan and simple.

That was my take when Golisano was shopping the team. But that was also when the Sabres were averaging 99%+ attendance without a standing room only section. Now the Sabres are regularly bottom 3-5 in the league in attendance and the Buffalo region is still a top 5 market. Pegula isn't giving any money to the league in terms of revenue sharing. He is a loss. If anything I think those two things together is proof of concept that the league doesn't need a team in Buffalo to get viewership.

Cool story, bro.

Does Terry Pegula have 17 hour meetings about one single player on the Bandits roster? I don't think Terry spends 17 hours a year talking to Tavares, let alone in a single sit down about a single player, like he does the Bills and Sabres.
