Some quotes from today's Athletic article on his experience: No two general managers in the NHL have exactly the same experience, but Adams’ background stands out among his peers. Of the currently employed NHL GMs, Adams is one of six who never held an assistant general manager or vice president of hockey operations title in the NHL prior to his hiring. Of those six, he’s one of two who never scouted or consulted in an NHL hockey operations department. The other is Canadiens GM Kent Hughes, who was a longtime prominent NHL agent and has an experienced president of hockey operations above him. Outside of the afternoons he spent in his cubicle in the Sabres hockey operations department from December 2009 to August 2011, Adams had no prior NHL hockey operations experience. “I think that’s what rubs people the wrong way,” said one former scout. “He wasn’t in Fargo watching a game. He wasn’t in Medicine Hat watching a game. He wasn’t at the U18s in Slovakia in August missing family vacation. That’s the grind. That’s what pretty much everybody else did unless your name is Joe Sakic.” signing Taylor Hall (imagine thinking Taylor freaking Hall is the difference between an 80-point team and a Stanley Cup contender) On Oct. 11, 2020, five months after hiring Adams, Pegula stood inside his new general manager’s office. At that point, Adams had no assistant GMs. His director of scouting was Jeremiah Crowe, who had three years of pro scouting experience before getting elevated to that role. The analytics department was Jason Nightengale. This was the first day of NHL free agency. Pegula and Adams discussed the possibility of signing Taylor Hall to a one-year, $8 million contract. Hall had won the Hart Trophy two years earlier with a 39-goal, 54-assist season for the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres had failed to qualify for the expanded 24-team playoff during the pandemic, extending their playoff drought to nine seasons. “We sign this guy,” Pegula said to Adams in a behind-the-scenes video released by the Sabres, “we’re not only trying to make the playoffs. We’re trying to win the Cup.” “Yeah,” Adams said. “I mean this is … yeah.” Hall signed with the Sabres and scored two goals and 19 points in 37 games before he was sent to the Bruins at the trade deadline. Buffalo finished in last place, and Adams fired coach Ralph Krueger. power dynamic In a behind-the-scenes video of the Sabres’ trade deadline process, Ruff noted that the team’s culture needed to change. In that video, Pegula is on a conference call multiple times throughout the day, weighing in on decisions. That offered a view into the dynamic between Adams and Pegula, a dynamic that other potential general managers might view as a red flag. “Any self-respecting GM who takes that job is going to say, ‘I have to be able to run this for you,’” said one former NHL executive. “I know it’s your team and I have to talk to you about things, but I have to be able to build a team and make decisions. If I have to run a simple (Henri) Jokiharju for a fourth by you, what are we doing here?”

How many Mohammeds are running around the streets right now? And the Dems are blocking their deportations! Shameful and disgusting

Regardless of what goes around the outside, it still looks like a big toilet bowl. They should build a new fieldhouse next to it that's shaped like a toilet paper dispenser.

So what? They are ranking the top LB's overall. They are not ranking the top LB's who played a full season last year. For example: Would a 2009 ranking of QB's not include Tom Brady because he missed the previous season? Of course not. He would be top 3, because he is greatness and we didn't need to see his most recent season to know that. If this thread proves anything its that the majority of NFL fans don't pay close attention to the rest of the NFL and its players. Not having *our* guy on the list doesn't make the list crap. Why WOULD Bernard and Milano be on the list? Milano was quite frankly not great last season (I dont blame him - he was coming off of two injuries). And Bernard looked half of what he was in 2023. I dont see what there is to complain about here.

*Bets the eagles under win total*

Tertiary syphilis kicking in…

A high volume running back - it’s like they are welcoming the curse

Lets get the usual responses out of the way, shall we ? "I can't believe that you MAGA cultists are so fixated on this !" " What are you so afraid of ? No one is forcing anything, We just want acceptance" Now compare those childish taunts with the fact that the United States has designated a whole month based on who you have sex with. It is all a political movement designed to further Leftist goals. Excuse me if I just laugh and point out examples of hypocrisy. .

Government ownership of a factory IS one form of “workers owning the means of production.” In this instance, the collective taxpayers/voters are the owners and the government handles the administrative affairs of the factory. I think you misinterpreted what I wrote: I NEVER denied the historical reality that far-left governments have imprisoned their political opponents. I merely stated that it wasn’t a defining feature of socialism, whereas it IS for fascism. By “defining feature,” I mean “a description that an academic political philosopher would use to help characterize the term.” I personally know lots of card-carrying DSA members, and none of them believe in throwing their political opponents in jail. I mean, sure…EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICAL FACT that the actual Nazi politicians never saw themselves as socialists, never governed with the implementation of proper socialist policies, and actively fought against real German socialists. By the time the German citizens who supported the Nazis specifically for their socialist branding figured out what was going on, it was too late to dissent. Claiming the Nazis were “socialists” because it was in their party name is simply devoid of any critical historical analysis. It would be like evaluating contemporary American politics by simply stating Democrats must therefore be inherently more “democratic” than Republicans, or that Republicans must therefore be better promulgators of representative democracy than Democrats. These are all just names branded for whatever political expediency at the point of initial historical application. The era of Pax Kay-Leh-na, as established in the Papal Conclave thread, is now under great duress. Proceed with caution, Leh-nerd…

My guess isn't that he did not take some sort of weird or mysterious multivitamin or exotic supplement just on a whim. He took anabolics, HGH or adderol.

Back to the thread Boulder attack suspect in US illegally: Homeland Security Eight people were hospitalized with burns from the Sunday afternoon attack. By Luke Barr and Emily Shapiro The man suspected of carrying out an "act of terrorism" during a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, leaving eight people in the hospital, is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman, entered the U.S. in August 2022 on a B2 visa and he filed for asylum in September 2022, according to Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security.

From the ESPN article: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45432412/eagles-rb-saquon-barkley-lands-madden-cover-iconic-leap "Barkley has also been named to the Madden 99 Club -- a first for an Eagles offensive player. Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the Madden NFL '99 Club' are both dreams come true," Barkley said. "I'm grateful to my teammates, coaches and Eagles fans for their support, and I can't wait to hit the field again to give Madden players more highlight-reel moments in Madden NFL 26." Barkley, the reigning Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year, is coming off one of the best seasons for a running back in NFL history. He rushed for 2,504 yards over the regular season and the postseason, breaking the single-season record."

Here’s my guess: he’s gone. The Patriots will shut up about it in the meantime because Diggs will grieve the release and the team won’t want the failed physical to seem pretextual in advance of the release.

He had better be at OTAs. I am starting to get really worried that his priorities are out of order. Were he actually committed to winning a super bowl he would be celibate and distraction free until his playing days were over.

I gotta tell ya....this definitely worked. I'm won over.

Right. We took an oath.
