I am guessing -- but do not know for certain -- that this is probably just CYA language to make sure people don't think they automatically get playoff tickets when they buy season tickets. I bet if you purchase playoff tickets through your ST account they are added to the card.

Off the top of my head: Comeback 51-3 Perfect game Fitz/Jackson beat Brady* 2011 77 seconds

That’s a little harsh…I mean, the uniform seemed to fit well and everything.

You’re praising a guy for a success rate that is the equivalent of flipping a coin, and he was the best. There is literally no value in the mock draft “industry” aside from the NFL keeping content churning for fans who can’t get enough. Again, I get it — it’s just not for me. I’ll refrain from posting in any mock draft thread further. I simply saw the McShay thread title and reacted. Looking forward to the actual draft in 17 days and living in reality.

Just an FYI, you can put the mobile ticket into your Wallet app (if you have an iPhone) and then mobile service is not required to open and use it at the gate.

Even a blind squirrel occasionally stumbles upon a nut or two. That astounding result is still only 50%, and how many of those matches were after the top 10?

Hey man, I know people love this stuff…it just amuses me. These guys are right approximately 4.5% of the time.

I think you’re missing the point. If Jones gets the ball there faster, with less arc, Hyde can’t make that play. Hence, arm strength.

Is he ever right? Unless you’re talking about predicting the top 5 or so draft picks, the “mock draft” phenomenon continues to astound me — and all of these guys’ records are putrid. It makes complete sense that teams run simulations internally to give themselves an idea of how a draft may shake out, but the mock drafts by media members and “insiders” crack me up. Carry on.

The team can’t force anyone to restructure…but they can ask, and if the player agrees why would the league want to prevent that?

I’m actually excited to go to a hockey game tonight! It will be my first in a couple of years. Curious to see the Buffalo fan turnout, as in the past we’ve had solid support in Raleigh, but the bandwagon Canes fans have been pumped up as well since they have a top team.

That’s just wrong. If you watched that game and think the Heels “choked” I don’t know what to tell you.

I’m no fan of cyclists but that’s messed up. I hope that driver was charged with assault and battery.

Thanks for posting, Mrs. Whaley!

Manny Sanders is beside himself on GMFB…love that guy. ”See this table right here? I’m gonna jump through it!!!”

Big Baller Beane comes through again. Gotta keep Josh and his best friend happy!

Bump. Great call, Whales! What a moron.

Fun game last night against one of the best in the league. I’m going to the game down here in NC Thursday night. Maybe I’ll eat some babies.

Although Phil got caught saying some pretty dumb things, he's smart enough to know that his popularity is at an all-time low right now. Man, did he screw the pooch.

I'll be back in three weeks and four days...I need some time to think about this.

If we’re all being honest, I think the conversation about Whaley starts and ends here. He is a very good judge of talent, but horrible at the business side of football — which is what being a GM requires. Dude didn’t understand or learn how to manipulate the salary cap at all. Great example of the Peter Principle — being hired beyond his optimal capacity. I’ll take any of his opinions on the salary cap or what teams can or can’t do financially with a huge grain of salt.

How do you know I’ve never met him? Jealousy is the wrong word. Did you not understand I’m a Carolina grad and fan? Why would I be jealous? Coack K has always been about Coach K. Ask anyone who has followed his career closely. I’ve never said he wasn’t a great coach, or that he didn’t build a great program. He’s among the top 5 NCAA coaches of all time. I simply don’t think he’s a “great” man. Anyway…proud of the Heels for somehow getting over the emotional win against Dook and giving Kansas everything they could handle. What a season.

After the game Saturday night K still couldn't help but blame the players. In what I suppose he thought was a statement of caring and compassion, he still threw his team under the bus. "I had a locker room filled with guys who were crying," Krzyzewski said. "And it's a beautiful sight. It's not the sight that I would want. I'd want the other. But it's a sight that I really respect and makes me understand just how good this group was. And that's what I'm concerned -- I don't want any of these guys to leave and say, I should have made that one free throw; I should have made that one -- we win and we lose together." What a doosh.

Had to give this a bump. What a Saturday night! For the rest of my life, whenever some Dook fan talks smack I’ve got the two greatest trump cards in the history of the rivalry — ruining K’s final game at Cameron, and knocking him out of the Final Four and into retirement. What a schmuck K was for taking that ridiculous “kiss the ring” retirement tour. K’s first loss as Dook coach was to Carolina, as were two of his last three. Across 42 years of coaching at Dook, during their greatest era, K was only .500 (50-50) vs. Carolina. See ya, Krzithead!!!

They need goaltending. Everyone knows that. They won’t be contenders until they have a legitimate #1 between the pipes. That doesn’t change the obvious shift in both culture and talent on the ice, with more talent coming up next year. It is an exciting time to be a Sabres fan, watching this young team grow.
