  1. I’m not saying it makes him a better at football or a better QB, just that the wonderlic requires faster prcocessing of information to do well on it. Just look at the list of QBs above who scored low and are in the HOF and those who scored high that never amounted to much, if anything. It’s also a just a snapshot in time.
  2. It indicates he can process information relatively quickly.
  3. If I wasn’t a real fan (whatever that is), I wouldn’t give a crap one way or the other.
  4. Can’t believe you’d deny yourself the opportunity to witness the progress this team has made.
  5. GOAT discussions, from athletes to zookeepers and everything in between, while sometimes good food for thought, are ALWAYS futile. Gronk is a first ballot HOFer because he dominated his position in his era. Just like every other first ballot HOF tightend before him. They all have a seat at the table of the greatest. And it is a round table.
  6. Job number one! Shades of Polian who always preached winning your division is the first goal of the season. Great to hear this from Beane.
  7. Really? How can you tell?
  8. Tough way for seniors to go out, but hats off to the Bulls on a great season. And hats off to Texas Tech as well, a well coached and terrific defensive team. They’re gonna be a tough out.
  9. John Mackey wrote the book, imo.
  10. You mean a lot more time to LEARN to read.
  11. F**k that classless a-hole. Normally, I’d wish any retiring player, especially great ones, to enjoy the rest of their lives. But not this jerk.
  12. Unfortunately, you’re right. But it would go a long way with me and other long time suffering devoted fans if he got up in front of the cameras and said that, while honored to be considered, his first job is making the Sabres better and he won’t have time for anything else until that job is done. Corny, I know, but it’s true none the less. Specially when your team is historically bad. Instead, we can listen to his bull crap about how, even though it’s not reflected in the standings, the team has shown progress. I don’t know who is more full of it, him or Housely. Edit: I do know who is more full of it, it is Housley, hands down. I forgot about his postgame proclamation that “we should have won the game” last night. That they “played well enough to win” last night. This is the man leading this team. Laughable.
  13. Botterill should decline and spend all his time and energy making this crap show of a team even remotely respectable.
  14. A player that defined the position. Loved his Prestone anti-freeze commercial. “My job is pluggin’ holes.”
  15. Been a while since the Bulls were not favored in a game. Looking forward to seeing them play as underdogs.
  16. I’d rather have Zion Williamson. It’s been true for decades that all the great TEs are in the NBA.
  17. I just want to clarify, K-9 likes Devin White. K-9 thinks Devin White will make an immediate impact for any team that drafts him. K-9 is just not a fan of arrogance. K-9 thinks greatness is best served by humility.
  18. I won’t belabor the point any longer, except to say Nylander was called up on 3/10 and played the next two games vs. Dallas and Pittsburgh without Eichel. That left Housley three full games to pair him with Eichel since; vs. Carolina, St. Louis, and Toronto. That’s three full games Eichel and Nylander could have and SHOULD have been paired up. Ridiculous it took that long.
  19. I look forward to his HOF speech being delivered in the third person then.
  20. He’s too good a prospect to be a bust. On another note, I’m always suspect of people who refer to themselves in the third person.
  21. Dude hasn’t earned a fricken thing in this league and he’s already proclaiming his greatness? I don’t care how good he is or how good he ends up being, his confidence has crossed the line into arrogance. Looking forward to his “welcome to the NFL” moment. Hopefully, he will be humbled.
  22. I appreciate where you’re coming from regarding a young player having to earn his spot. But not at this stage of a long lost season. You glean little to nothing about Nylander having him play with the likes of Sobotka. Regardless of Eichel’s suspension, he should have been on his line in practice. Regardless of the short time he’s been up, he should have been paired with superior complimentary offensive talent. Yes, he’s earned his call up, but there are other forwards having better seasons than him in Rochester who have also earned a look see. So why Nylander and why now? They have to see if he has top six potential going forward. Other teams needs to see that, too, should he become a piece of a hockey trade in the off season. This is an audition. And he should have been afforded the BEST opportunity to impress from the get go. Making him play with bottom six slugs, which is what our team is comprised of outside the top three at the moment, was the wrong thing to do. And while perhaps not such an egregious example, it further illustrates Housley’s lack of acumen, imo. We we will just have to agree to disagree on that point.
  23. What’s the point of that at this stage in this season, when the only reason to have Nylander called up at this stage is to see if he has top 6 potential. I submit that Housely can’t possibly ascertain that by playing him with Sobotka, which he did initially or anybody else not named Eichel for that matter. Instead, Housley insisted on imposing his ridiculous, “you’re a rookie and you have to earn your spot” bull crap, when the issue has nothing to do with credibility. What, was Housley going to lose the locker room by having this team’s top winger prospect leap frog some other bottom 6 slug on the team? Just another example of Housley’s clueless ability to have a finger on the pulse of this team, imo.
