I hope for your sake “CHUD” was used ironically.
Is there a serious use of the term CHUD? I don't recognize any other definition but cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller so don't come at me with some zoomer definition that was invented on tiktok 6 minutes ago.

They definitely were both on here posting for a bit at separate times until I would imagine Jerry Sullivan's seven burner accounts called them out for not sharing details that would have burned their sources or something.
I can't remember all the specifics, felt silly, especially as they seemed pretty engaged.
Some jackass asked TG to "go tell [ESPN personality] to STFU!". The other CHUDS joined in. That was his last day.
Wawrow was less and less active but there was one final thread where JW defended himself and his profession against a bunch of dudes who insisted he had no inside information or access to the team and that better information was shared more quickly on Twitter. Much like TG, he said he no longer gets any enjoyment out of participating on the board.

Didn't we run both him and Warrow off from here? And by we I mean some of us
Yes.

Yeah, most surprising to me is McCarthy. I like him. Seems like a good dude with tenacity. But nothing that I saw at Michigan screamed franchise QB to me other than his grit. I have a hard time seeing his ceiling as anything higher than “game manager with occasional flashes”. Maybe O’Connell can scheme up ways to help him over achieve.
I have no take on Maye. Never really watched him.
McCarthy is extremely smooth at the mesh point. No other QB in this draft class comes close.

Rarely discussed but I think the league would be better if RGIII had made it. He’s a really interesting dude.
I loved his daily press conferences during his knee rehab to address whatever nonsense resulted from that morning's panel show or to rebut something that was shared on twitter.

The best laid schemes of mice and men are often thwarted. I don't think the offense we've seen from the Bills is exactly what Beane intended when he put the roster together. I think some of his player acquisitions have been disappointments to him.
And Beane is the GM, not the OC. I believe that there have been times when Beane has thought Dorsey or Brady has underutilized the tools provided.
While the OL was better last year, I do wonder why Beane hasn't made the OL a bigger priority. When you have a highly talented - and compensated - QB, you would think acquiring a skilled bodyguard would be critically important.
I believe last year and the year before, the roster was built to score fast, get leads, and then get after the QB with Von, Groot, and Floyd. Which worked perfectly against Miami before it all went to hell. Allen is a big play guy and this approach made sense.
We know defenses are all attempting to force the premier QBs to string together long drives with 2 high safeties and take away the big play. Looks like this year's team will play ball control. It was ugly at times last year. We effectively ran out of time against New England in the first match up since we couldn't score fast enough. KC playoff game we were left in no man's land in terms of clock management but it almost worked. Allen has done it at times but I still question if he has the maturity to take what the defense is giving him all night combined with the clutchness to capitalize when the big play opens up.

he coached 3 other teams since he last coached the Sabres. He was in Jersey last year.
Those were remote positions.

The Sabres have a roster that any coach would love to have, including a solid goalie and a great goalie prospect. I doubt there was a lack of interest. I think Ruff was the guy for weeks. There wasn't going to be any other interviews.
Anyone remember the calls to fire Granato when Ruff was fired by NJ? Seemed like a great idea then, huh?
Its definitely a top 28 roster.

People will say this a reach for the past. Disagree. Lindy is a excellent coach in this league.
I don't think its a reach for the past. I think its a sign that no one else with any experience was interested in the job.

I've had a long standing theory that Bills (and Sabres) ownership is more fragile than it appears. It does not surprise me to see this announcement.
Terry is in his early 70s, Kim's status as owner is unknown, and none of the five kids are easy to spot heir apparent to running the menagerie of companies he has in his portfolio.
What you really don't want to see is Terry pass unexpectedly, and the ownership is transacted by the family to the highest bidder. That's a nightmare Bon Jovi scenario. The likelihood of the Bills being owned by someone like Terry with a deep appreciation of Buffalo and western New York is slim in that scenario.
Jesse is primed to take a large role once her tennis career is done. Its something she has discussed publicly.

I am surprised Houston hasn't gotten a look. Big market and they would have an instant rivalry with the Stars.
I am biased because I live in Houston but it makes no sense to me that the NHL hasn't pursued a team in Houston. Its the 4th biggest city in the country, we have an arena with ice (Toyota Center), and Houston had an IHL/AHL team that routinely led the league in attendance. There are a lot of Canadian transplants here as well as a massive contingent of Americans who have relocated from traditional hockey markets. Houston has the second most Fortune 500 companies of any city in the country and can easily sell luxury suites/boxes.
From what I have read, Bettman doesn't want a hockey team sharing space with the basketball team even though that is a situation in so many other cities. Its such an obvious and natural move and its not going to happen.

I don't know if the arena the Houston Rockets use can be used for hockey. I do know KC has an arena that can be used for hockey. Years ago, the Islanders played a preseason game there. That is another market that the NHL could look at.
It can.

THE AUTOMOBILE, far & away had the biggest impact of all time!
It was a global phenominon (sorry for the spelling) that's still going on today. It impacted on our society on many, many, fronts.
It impacted on the steel industry, the oil industry, commercial farming as well as private farming, road construction, the hotel
and motel busineses, tourism, even the fast food business. The list goes on and on, longer than I have the time to post on this
topic. That machine provided millions and millions of jobs for a lot of people.
It impacted where people live and how they live. It shaped American culture. Outside of the old cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, and to a lesser extent Philadelphia/DC every American city was built for cars. Urban sprawl and suburban mediocrity are simply not possible without the automobile. The number one priority of city designers is "where are all the cars going to park?"

This has been somewhat of a theme during locker clean out interviews:
Every player has mentioned something about accountability being an issue and/or really wanting the next coach to hold them accountable. Most have also mentioned that they didn’t really have a structure in place to fall back on and that’s something they need. (Duh! I think even casual fans saw that… lol).
They’re screaming for a good veteran coach.
Brind’amor would be so perfect for this team. I wish it was a more realistic possibility.
I would think Lindy, Berube and Gallant have to be 3 of the top candidates. Maybe Sullivan if he gets fired by Pittsburgh. Maybe Boudreau or Julien too?
It’s going to be really interesting to see who the first couple/few interviews are with! I’m just glad we can actually discuss hiring one of these veteran coaches and know it’s a genuine possibility.
For as much as the players "loved" Donny the cleanout interviews have been pretty damning. "Lack of accountability", "guys should have lost playing time", "lack of structure" is coming from everyone. I wonder how much of it is directed at Skinner given two of his linemates are harping on this theme.
The players say they want accountability but we will see how much they like it.

I would argue that the invention of inventions was pretty impactful. The invention came about in 1793 just in time for Eli Whitney to popularize inventions with the cotton gin. Before Eli Whitney there was no true innovation, only recycling of and incremental improvement on existing ideas. The invention would stagnate however, mostly due to the spectacular failure that was the steamboat which sucked most of the joy out of inventing. And for a long time nothing really happened. That is, until, the invention of technology in 1903. Technology was invented by the Swedes and was primarily focused on the design of modular furniture until a string a futuristic movies including Back to the Future, The Terminator, and ET the Extra Terrestrial, captivated imaginations worldwide. For the first time in human history people began wondering "can technology be used to improve my everyday life?"...and the rest is history.
Without the invention of inventions, most of this would not have been possible.

I bet Allen feels like a guy who just took a dump the size of a lunchbox that pinched off clean in a one wipe situation, precautionary at that.

I wouldnt say he lost. He was in a win-win situation and leveraged it as much as he could.
HC contracts are written with clauses that allow them to leave and still get paid IF there is a change in ownership.
Marrone knew of this clause and seized the opportunity to make a power play. "I'm going to walk and make you pay out my contract while having to find a new HC unless you put me in charge of the entire FO". Pegula said no thanks, Marrone walked while still getting paid. And then got another gig so he was DOUBLE DIPPING that NFL HC salary. Probably made himself an extra $10-15M just for quitting a job.
And now hes an offensive quality assistant.

This surprised me. I thought he looked great for is age in all of his latest twitter videos. He looked healthy enough to murder a cabana boy. Cancer is cruel.

This will be his third change of culture and atmosphere in as many years. I am starting to think culture and atmosphere are not the problem. 4th times a charm.
