and this is different from your previous post how ??

But minus the hugging of course More like this

even his dad hates him

Maybe they go to two super conferences but break it down into divisions like that NFL. That way they can get the power of the conference but get the regionalness and rivalries of the divisions.

Been waiting for that college money to open up knowing he cant make it in the NFL Might happen more know that money is being made.

Yikes, why ???

If i ran the Olympics it would the Arnold Classic plus track and field and swimming. I suppose the rowing too.

The Olympics have too many sports as it is and now they want to do mixed racing and swimming?? Id rather see ninja style obstacle courses , cross fit, strongman and MMA added to The Olympics

Like he can't play with this "injury" Hell its probably healed by now. Hey Jack is you want to get traded it will go better if you actually play well on the ice. Other teams see your whining and aren't go to want you either.

I definitely can agree there have been bad decisions and hires and the tank was one of them. I think Adams is doing what he needs to get better right now and i believe they think uka ... Will be the guy and these other guys are just stop gaps until he is ready. You cant blame last year or this mess on Adams as he inherited it but is doing what he can to turn it around and not wasting huge dollars on free agents , which rarely works out, is what he should be doing right now to rebuild. TRading risto and Rinehart were great deals for us and NOT trading Eichel right now is definitely the right move as he will get a better deal from some desperate team who wants to make a Stanley cup run at the trade deadline. There are no guarantees but i believe Adams is making the right moves to make this team a contender. Unfortunately its going to take a couple years to get there.

I just cant put goaltenders on the same level as QB as they dictate everything on the field and goalies just need to stop shots, which is very important but not to that level. Also its pretty clear from players who have left the team that there is something wrong team wide just not the goalies. We've had great goalies and still haven't won and when we had the french connection i couldn't even tell you who hte goalie was. To me the players havent been physical enough around the nets nor aggressive enough getting after the puck. Now we just cant have bangers , we need guys who can be aggressive AND score.

Ive seen nerdier and thats no excuse for her. The problem most of us have is you just never know what secrets our wives are hiding ( husbands too)

With Naseer its been awhile and hes been forgotten about, there was plenty of outrage at the time and deservedly so and he has since been punished, so hes not on people's minds.

If her issues stem from that abuse then she has a legit case but it obvious she had a sports performance issue not a mental health issues. Now trying to be the best can you crazy or inadequate or whatever but it's not the same as dealing with sexual abuse.

I agree with what you are saying as people definitely have a keeping up with the Jones problem as the average joe is just going to drive himself crazy if he tries to have the best house, car job, etc, but being an Olympian or high level athlete is another story. You know that you are entering a field were competing is everything and trying to be better than everyone else is the goal. If that teammate actually wants to win gold then fine but my problem is , if his goal is just to to his best then he should be a recreational swimmer and just do it for fun. If you want to be an Olympian then you have to have a higher standard and its not one that you set, it has already been set and that is winning the gold. Those gymnasts who said they dont owe us a gold medal are full of s#!t, the only reason you're there is to represent your country and to win. Now if you dont win , you dont but winning is the goal. Like i said before this is not recreational sports done just for fun, your are there to win. Now winning isnt the end of the world it just means you need to work harder and smarter to get the job done. Now if you never win and are retired you can look back at your career and say you did your best and be happy with it but if you're actively competing you have to have a take no prisoners mind set. i still lift heavy weights and have goals of setting world records even though im 50. Is it realistic, no, am i crazy, probably , but i go out there and give it Hell every time getting a little bit better as i go. There have been set backs believe me but im never going to quit until i achieve my goals and then i still wont quit because its what i love to do . Maybe im wired differently but just training for health or to maintain is just not for me, every time i think about quitting i think about how i hate training with out the goal to get stronger more. Last year i was my strongest ever at age 49 but then my dumb wife left me and i lost a ton of weight and strength from all that stress even though i was still lifting. So now im building back and will be even stronger and will eventually get those records. Ive never used steroids and haven't had to use TRT (hopefully never do) but i have a system were i can train hard and still recover and Lord willing i will achieve my goals. Losing isnt the failure as its an opportunity to learn and get better, quiting is the failure and that is what she did.

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.

Hopefully she doesnt get a cent from Dr Han, she's obviously a gold digger.

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.

🙏🙏🙏

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.

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.

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.

wow ,too young, great band.

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.

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.
