  1. i cant blame Murray as im sure he was told to sell the farm, unless it was his idea than he should have been fired then. i bought into the tanking hype thinking it was a good thing. Practically speaking it should work but it doesnt take into account the mental damage that it does to an athlete to become a loser, it goes against everything you want and are taught as a competitor and i believe is what has led us to this knew low despite the talent. Tanking Better never happens again. I wanted McDermott to tank but his first year, but now realize what a mistake that would have been as he never would been able to install his culture and process had he done so.
  2. Hopefully she doesnt get a cent from Dr Han, she's obviously a gold digger.
  3. Guess we disagree about Dresser. Sure its great to do your best but this isnt little league. If i came in 4th and thats all i could do i would be happy with that but that doesnt mean im not trying to win and would be much happier if i got gold. Yes most people wont win but setting your own standard will lead to mediocrity. I was a ranked wrestler but never number one and that bugged the Hell out of me, but enjoyed training and my time in the sport but i cant say i was truly satisfied with my results even though i did the best that i could. Also my identity wasnt\isnt wrapped up in sports it was just one of the things i liked doing. One of the problems many athletes have is they only see themselves as an athlete and when that fails they cant handle it. They and people in general need to be more well rounded so they can deal with failures in life.
  4. I think it might finally happen. I think Pegula thought Kruger and Botteril could be like Beane and McDermott and could do the same thing with the Sabres, except they weren't ( i think Kruger might be one worst coaches ever). Hopefully now Adams and Granato can get the job done. I was thinking the same thing.
  5. Definitely. I think many people, led by the unbiased media, are confusing mental health with sports performance. She cracked under pressure, which does happen , however she should have shown some fortitude and battled back. It totally respect her and all the others gymnasts who suffered at the hands of that doctor, but that is not what happened here. Also listening to Dresser talk about one of his teammates achieving his own greatness (the teammate) not trying to reach for anyone else standard is the stupidest thing ive heard from an Olympian. No , you dont define your own greatness, you go for the highest standards which is winning as much as possible. Otherwise if everyone sets their own standard then greatness wont be achieved as everyone will just doing what makes them happy. Sorry but trying for greatness is hard and tough and often not fun but that is the point of being the best is to be the few that are willing to go the extra mile to achieve it. Now this isn't for everybody, which is fine, as most dont have it in them to be great , but for those who want to be the best they are going to have strive for the goal that is already set not the one they choose is good enough.
  6. They had all the talent to win but couldn't, they have the money, the facilities but yet they have a losing culture. I thought with Eichel , Rinhardt, Oreiley , Okposo and everyone else we would start winning but it didn't happen and there are lots of explanations going around but i really think Tanking put the losing culture in the locker room and it hasnt left. Its pretty sad that the team that was losing on purpose and had less talent than last years team was a better team. However with Adams and Granato i think we finally have the right guys in there to turn this around, even though they have little experience. Granato understands how that you cant run a team like a dictatorship like 20 years ago and what hes looking for in players that will help them develop faster. With Adams he is showing he is no push over and has candidly stated he isnt trading Eichel for peanuts and he will get the better deal in the long run. He also got good deals for Rinehart and Risto, which i believe bodes well for the Sabres future.
  7. Exactly. So being not that big of a deal, go out and do your job. Its not like she had to face her accusers or fight on the battlefield.
  8. if that was the case then she should have never gone in the first place. You dont go from everything is fine to one screw up on the vault and be like im out. She got the yipps and couldn't handle failure. She let her teammates down regardless of what her they say. watching Dresser cry like a baby was also embarrassing, act like a man when you celebrate, like the Chinese weightlifters. Unfortunately now man are taught to act like women and vice versa and is why so many people are depressed and have anxiety because we are being taught to go against are our natures. Its good to be tough and persevere, now we are being taught to be weak and everyone has there own truth, we wont be a strong nation long with this mindest.
  9. Said she wasn't mentally there, which may be true but you find a way to get it done. Also not buying here excuses that she was hurting the team by continuing, they needed her, she bailed. If she was feeling this bad they should have found somebody else to go in her place. Amen brother, just weak, everyone has ptsd now.
  10. Cursed. I believe until the Johnsons dont own the team, the jets will flounder.
  11. Could be a pinch of lead blocking this year.
  12. He knew how to handle men and those with big egos and so was a great coach there but X O adjustments in game he was lacking.
  13. The Bills are North America's team is all that matters. Those were the best uniforms, navy blue all the way
  14. Why wouldn't they want Oklahoma?? They are a winning program , more so than Texas. Big 10 screwed this up. That's it !! just two conferences: ESPN Conference and FOX Conference 😋 The networks control everything anyway might as well give into our big business overlords.
  15. Make 4 conferences Big 10 ACC SEC PAC12 Or get rid of the numbers and call them Big and Pac lol Or Pacific coast conference and Great Lakes conference.
  16. Hate it for for the conferences, but its business and i really dont care as long as there is good football. then put the rest in pac 12
  17. Billy put in the traditional WNY work ethic of unrelenting pressure and beat his opponent into submission as the ref stops the fight midway in the third round as his opponent was a bloody mess and decided he didn't need any more damage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Quarantillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CRc7-7Utpf8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
