May Day 10

I feel like it has to be Schobel. Never has there been such a miscellaneous Buffalo Bill with such statistics. He is second on the Bills in all-time sacks with more than a half a sack a game over about 130 games. Pretty much a model of consistency and he walked-off early on his career after a 10 sack performance. #81 in sacks all-time NFL with an abbreviated career and missing most of one of his seasons. He played during the real dregs of the drought. The defense was really bad through a lot of his career and he watched some all-pros walk out the door (Winfield, Clements, Williams). Him and his family were/are very nice people, down to earth. If he played for a real NFL team in his career and/or had a lot of support in the front 7, he seemingly could have really been a household name and a fan favorite. Im a huge Bills fan, and I can barely recollect him even playing here.

I was at Friday night's game and Saturday. Just an amazing experience being up that close, in that venue, and seeing such a high level of baseball. Correa hitting 2 homeruns and cupping his ear to the Buffalo crowd was great. Grienke complete game. Saw Vlad Jr hit an HR, Guerriel gun someone out at home, etc... Already have tickets for 2 games in the Seattle series. They go on sale this week for the Orioles, Mariners, Rays, Rangers, and Red Sox. Opening up to 80% capacity too. I believe these will be the last of it. I would implore anyone on the fence to go for this once in a lifetime experience.

I think I disagree with his entire premise. At least when it comes to quarterbacks. With the backdrop of EJ Manuel, his whole entire point makes sense and looks intelligent. What if youre the Bears trading up to 'overdraft' Mahomes or Watson? Or if someone tripped over themselves to 'overdraft' Russell Wilson in the first round? Maybe if anyone in that front office was qualified to evaluate quarterbacks or build a respectable team? That was the problem? We have clowns like Nix and Whaley in those positions. Now whaley is the assistant VP of talent evaluation for the Hula Bowl invitational

It was reckless and one of the most egregious charging violations I can remember. With that said, I don't believe it was premeditated, malicious, or done in frustration. He didn't skate the whole way planning to knock evans' head off his shoulders. Watching the play at full speed, I feel schiefiele was racing down to get the puck, prevent a goal, gain possession in a 1 goal playoff game that entered the final minute. Late in the play he had realized he was late and in a split second reflec/decision, went for the body to try to head off the potential goal, not really taking into account his speed or how violent the head on collision would be

That doesn't start until next year I think. The good news is the Sabres can pick first 2 more times before it resets in 4 years and they can pick 1st again.

If it makes the Sabres look the other way, its a great stroke of luck for him

While this draft doesnt have the top-end franchise game-changer (at this point as 17-18 year olds)... it is never a bad thing to get to pick 1st out of everyone.

I have never been so detached from NHL hockey in my life (well, at least when I was maybe 7 in 1985). I just have zero care. Havent watched a full game in over a year, and even then it was fading.

Yeah, for sure.... especially if you are willing to part with the opener/early season games

Nah, but would like to see them with Galvis and Mountcastle.

Pilot Field is run down, and is now the oldest ballpark in the International League, I believe. There are really shiny/better/nice ones elsewhere. It did not age particularly well TBH. If Buffalo had one or two fortune 500s headquartered downtown and there was a real appetite for the city/county/state to help fund a plush new baseball park.... I would be F5-ing any news on this. The problem is, we are not in that dimension. As eloquently stated above, multi purpose is not a realistic option.

Im going to 2 of the Astros games. Cant make the others , but Id go to all of them if I could. I intend on going to the Orioles games once they go on sale.

Its strange. Like 31 other teams always trying to get better and the Sabres sit here and obsess about preserving their "lines of communication" and "authenticity hires". Enjoy the hell out of the Bills right now. When its time to transition, the Pegulas will absolutely take that franchise into the gutter as well.

If you polled neutral fans and media, Im sure it would be overwhelmingly in Marino's favor. Marino was great. They failed him with supporting cast. He was such a great passer.

Love the 1pm home games!

so Ill defer to you guys. If you like the hire, then I do too

should have taken Marner

Im glad they arent going to a humid, hot hell in Tampa for the opener in a game that the NFL is probably hoping for a full on Brady and Tampa squash game. New orleans Thanksgiving night is great. Like the opener vs the Steelers and starting off with the 'routine' 1PM time slot in what could be a critical AFC game for Wild Card/seeding/and/or tiebreakers.

Granato sure sounded like he already knows he is the HC. No interest in Quinn

I think when they make an overt 'threat' like this, coordinated with MLB, there isnt a ton to worry about. Its when things are more quiet and focused that fans should worry about relocation.

No chance. I would love it. Dream scenario. I would trade the Sabres for it at this point (and I used to absolutely bleed blue and gold). But we need a fortune 500 or 2 downtown for this to work, and probably an appetite and budget to build a new state of the art ballpark. There are much better markets waiting in Vegas, Charlotte, Nashville, and even Montreal.

Yeah, maybe. Very curious to see how quickly these tickets go and if they sell them out. Going to be an amazing opportunity to view MLB baseball in this sort of intimacy at this venue

Im at an advantage too because I really dont care who they play. In fact, the Yankees and Red Sox are probably low on my list! Really trying for a couple games in the Astros series just to get in there to say I was there and experience it in case everything opens up on time for them to return to Toronto in July. Would love to see the Mariners at the end of June. Indians for a 4 game series in August (my team). White Sox in August. Wouldnt mind catching the Orioles either
