May Day 10

Almost cant wait to watch Ruff try to turn Eichel into Jochen hecht

My christmas list: 1 Home Primetime game Open the season at home 3 of the first 5 weeks at home, and 1 or 2 home December games. 1 Away Primetime game. An Early New England match up (they always struggle early).

There are also rumblings that the App may be bundled with ESPN and Hulu.

Maybe my favorite offseason day

The problem with ruff is, the emotional bridge would instantly be reformed, and once again, only an act of congress would get him removed. Years and years too late

7 dollars is genius. Its a price point that is almost a no brainer for most people. Slowly increase it. Profits

The books are nowhere near where they are now. I dont understand how that scene was a divergence. Dany and Snow are still on different continents in the books.

Cleveland Started being a fan when I was young in the mid-80s. I started rooting for them due to the proximity to Buffalo I guess. Dont know why I didnt drift toward Toronto if that was the criteria though. Lots of tough times as a fan, and a lot of heart-break.. Perfect compliment to the Bills and Sabres though.

Caught up last night I felt the show jumped the shark a bit in season 7, episodes 5 and 6. Very weak plots and lack of logic in the characters and story telling. The last episode was really strong though and recovered well heading into the final season

The Sabres' trade there would result in edmonton getting burned to the ground a little less than the other 2 proposals. Yes. Eichel for McDavid would be the structure with some more going edmonton's way.

Detroit's neglect of hitting on anything near the first few rounds of the draft (except larkin) and the information age (can no longer be at the cutting edge of finding diamonds in europe) has caught up with them.

Just got through Battle of the Bastards. It is probably the greatest episode of anything ever.

These were so-so. The change to the retro look was very refreshing and they were on the cutting edge of that, while teams like the Pats, Broncos, Titans, Bills, etc were moving to the hideous pajama looks. If it were me, I would remain with the classic look they currently have, and wear the Al Toon uniforms as a throwback 1 time per year for a primetime game or something like that. I wouldnt want to see them go back to that full-time.

Just like deflategate. Kraft could have admitted some "guilt", paid a fine or maybe some community service, and this thing would have been dead and buried a month ago. And i dont really care, i think prostitution should be legal snd regulated... although i think its strange a billionaire would resort to this avenue. I guess maybe it is his jam and makes him happy. Whatever.

just donated 10 bux. if for nothing else, if this hits mainstream news, that guy who paid $660 for twitter votes will get crushed on social media.

Ugh. Huge downgrade from a pretty classic set.

I would say 8 wins, but in a good way, and not the format of starting out 1-5 and padding the record by winning mid-and late season vs the Giants and Dolphins..... nor starting out 5-1 and setting the season on fire to finish with 1 win in the final 8 games or so. An even-keel 8-wins that shows progress with some young players, legitimately in the playoff race for awhile maybe.... and perhaps up-end the Patriots in a meaningful game 1 time.

looking good in a game is not a validation for anything. Ottawa smoked the Leafs the other day, Detroit beat Pittsburgh last night. The league is designed to get most teams at or near .500. That is what makes losing 15 of 16 games such a feat. And, in this position, a coach crying to the media about how the refs "screwed" them is a really bad and petty look. They failed to win a game in regulation in March, and have won 6 games in regulation out of 43 since Christmas. The referees "screwing" the Sabres isn't what is happening.

IMO, a 2nd Pro Football league will only be viable if/when the NFL deems it as something they want. The NFL can get the viewers. They have the infrastructure, coffers, and brands people have tribal associations with that go back a century in some cases. In the current climate (with the NFL being such a behemoth), I don't think that any secondary pro league will ever be able to get enough traction to remain solvent (Arena League aside, but that is in its death throes). There is nothing compelling about watching C-level amateurs playing for teams that nobody has any attachment to during an offseason part of the cycle. I thought McMahon's "REAL FOOTBALL" idea was interesting, but those games were awful and you cant do that in this day of CTE and litigation, and finding players. Trying to put these teams in NFL size venues is silly. If the NFL decided that a developmental league is something they desire, they would create a league in locations of their choosing, and if it would have a nearly unlimited financial safety net to get through a few seasons before roots were took hold in the cities/towns chosen to host teams. They already have broadcasting partners and the means to produce games for a viewing audience. I think if a game had some connection with the Bills and there were some practice squad guys, or maybe that CFL receiver they brought in... or maybe a flyer QB they are trying to develop, I would watch some, and at the very least, follow progress and box scores.

they seem to think it was made up and a conspiracy theory https://www.titansreport.com/topic/35689-jamal-accused-of-rigging-a-twitter-poll/

I think he would. The player situation isnt bad at all with a controlled Eichel and Dahlen. Good cap situation ahead and an owner who is willing to provide resources. What it comes down to is management structure. How much control are they going to allow him? Will he have to talk to the owner 1-3 times a day? How does he feel about Botterill?

Havent posted yet in this subject I find it unbelievable someone paid money for votes. What a loser

it looks like the NFL decides if/where/when american football happens

Housley was one of the most under-qualified coached I can remember getting a job in the NHL. He had zero games of professional head coaching experience, and hasnt even run the gauntlet of major juniors or a collegiate season. He coached high school and later a World Championship IIHF tournament. He was an assistant on a loaded Nashville team for 4 years. That is his experience.
