May Day 10

X 10 we had a contest at work. Blind taste testing from all hot dogs, even flown in from Chicago and nyc... Hebrews won and it wasn't close

I have been on board with this idea for almost 20 years! I thinK buffalo vs Cleveland already has the sprinklings of a really good rivalry with yearly matchups, fan travelling, all the QBs going down last year with some contraversy, Pettine, etc... The Dolphins make me feel nothing. I hate the Jets, but only because I hate all NYC teams. I have been a fan since about '85 and I really cant remember too many key Jets/Bills moments/games (if any). I dislike the Patriots, because I hate Belichik and Brady, the previous cheating and am jealous of the success... but I hate to say it, Bob Kraft is a class act and almost all Patriots fans I have encountered are classy too. I think the NFL is long overdue to shake up the alignment a bit. Its been almost 15 years with nothing changed.

she has the face of a 250 pound girl

he is playing in St Catharines tonight FYI

Arizona is certainly scary. I would add Winnipeg too if they make a few moves and/or have the right injuries. Calgary is awful on paper but have been pretty good.

I believe it is on record that the new deal was for much less money, which the amount was never disclosed publicly this time... which infuriated me even more, especially on the heels of Brandon's all about winning/no stone unturned speech,.

Buffalo can be like Notre Dame and play like 8 home games, 2 away games and the rest neutral site (within a few hundred miles of South Bend, I mean Buffalo)

that is more what came to my mind hearing that.

ugh. 5 games?

Columbus will be fine.

Oz

38 points in 13 games. Erie is 12-0-1. On pace to set the OHL record for points (on pace for 199)

Im going to go against the grain here, and say absolutely

I liked it.

I agree to a point... the thing is right there for this team to take, but I have seen this so many times. Right when they have a big game they cannot rise up and win. I realize the 2014 bills are not the exact same team... but the Vikings game is concerning, Jackson and spiller out is concerning... and the fact that they haven't had a non smoke and mirrors win since the Miami game. That Kansas City game looks huge. Can't drop another tiebreaker to a wildcard contender

I have been against it but it is time for the ncaa to go in regards to basketball and football. The whole structure of those sports needs to change. They need like a constitutional convention and make a new framework. It is just from every direction now. They also should be freed from title ix to some degree. I would still like a tangible set of boundaries and a specific guideline into punishments down to naming the specific board responsible for punishing. The ncaa as a governing body is just in way too over its head these days. It's coming from all directions whether it's the video game/likeness issue, sandusky, unc, syracuse, calls to pay players etc. Whatever it is, I hope there is still a good place for mid majors to share the stage. I also wouldn't mind allowing players to be drafted and continue in college like the CHL or ncaa hockey.

There is no lottery for playoff teams. Their finish is just #15 - #30... but I believe the conference final and Stanley Cup teams get bumper to #27 - #30. So the blues and/or Islanders missing the playoffs is huge. Imagine if the sabres finished last and the st louis pick hit on the lottery and we got both mcdavid and eichel?

A few questions answered: Islanders and St Louis 1st picks are straight. No conditions. Only non playoff teams are in the lottery

The drum core is great. I would also like to see that expanded upon. It is way better than cheerleaders or anything else. Went to a game with a few Pats fans and they thought it was badass we had drums.

I just cannot see the NHL putting a guy like McDavid into Florida or Phoenix. We all know, and the NHL knows that he will be wasted in those markets, and ownership there isnt anywhere close to being stable. In fact, some findings this month may allow the lease to break with Florida. I think Buffalo is an attractive landing point for them if you are to believe the conspiracy angle. Pegula has been a great soldier for the NHL. Does everything they ask (raises revenues, in favor of unbalanced conferences), and now has got the unprecedented facility next to the arena built. The NHL, IIHF, and USA Hockey have given events to Buffalo with many more on the way. Also the proximity to the most populous region in Canada.

I agree with the pizza log guy. 7 bucKS for nothing. Plus I ordered them and it took nearly 15 minutes to get them to me

The NFL has already been way too soiled by this automation and the game of millimeters where it doesnt matter to me anymore (while baseball I want as much human element as possible)... These long pass interference calls are the biggest plays of the game. The burdon of proof is still very much on the reversal... but if the ref can take another look at it... maybe contact really wasnt made, it was perfectly timed... ball was un-catchable, ball was tipped at the line, etc.

I think just alter NCAA football and basketball into more of a CHL mold. You can draft guys early, but they still can still play NCAA. Players get a stipend. "Minor League" football as a pro league doesnt work IMO

shocking not at all

Defensive PI should be review-able IMO. We are talking huge chunks of game-altering yardage that wouldnt hurt to take a second look at. Same number of challenges per coach, and they have done a better job with speeding up reviews this season IMO (without data)
