  1. Comment away but don’t vote until someone is eliminated.  Personally I hope it goes seven so the “winner” gets three losses and is softened up to get swept the next round.

    I would hate this trade.  2 1sts and 2 2nds for one non-QB?  No thank you.

    Shiny object though.

    What do you suppose are the chances we are one of the teams interested in #4

    So Anthony Rizzo is playing like he's still concussion addled.    He is embarrassing himself in the field and has turned into a slap hitter because he can't barrel up the ball anymore.    Perhaps a result,  the Yankees just promoted their slick fielding AA first baseman TJ Rumfield to AAA.   I kinda' wonder if the problems in the field continue if Rizzo might pull an in-season retirement.   Also, perhaps the Yanks move Spencer Jones back to 1B,  where he once played a lot, at AA and start grooming him as a Cody Bellinger-esque CF/1B combo.  

     

    Saw this story though too.    As @4merper4mer knows and the article points out his Cardinals are a tired old bunch of basement dwellers.   They are really struggling with the balanced schedule when they used to fatten up off all those extra games against their cheap-assd central division rivals.    Could Goldie go to the Yanks?  He'd be a hit for a half season in NY.   It would be to the jewish community what Rizzo/Gallo were to Italian fans when they were acquired.   Ain't going to be no blockbuster tho.  He's on his last legs at 37.

    Lol the Cardinals won’t get a blockbuster of prospects from the Yankees because they gave them all away for Frankie Montas and the cupboard is still bare.  They’ll probably rush Jones and ruin him like they always do. Cards will take their time with Saggesse. For the record, I like Jones.  I’d hate to see Goldschmidt forced to end his career with a failed playoff run or early exit because the Yankees got impatient with Rizzo.  
     

    If the Twins keep stinking it up maybe the Yanks can get Santana.  He’s not as washed as people think and has a good glove.  Then again the Yanks scout trades like Warrior Spikes scouts WR.  The shinier the object the better.

    Raised in the Catholic faith, I was always surprised by the Latin American baseball players named Jesus, as in one of the Alou brothers. Just another one of those head scratchers seen throughout the years.

    That one is a double whammy.  
     

    You pointed out the obvious one but it is also pronounced “Hey, Zeus”.  It’s as if you’re buddies with Zeus and putting yourself on a level with him.

    you should, if you haven't already, do an internal audit of your posts and tally up the proportion that involve anything NE patriots.  It's got to be over 50%---you don't feel that's a problem?

     

    You're deflecting here, to say the least...and this stalking is something I allow, but feel compelled to point out.  Your Pavlovian output is interesting...

    Lol last I checked this is not a New England board despite your fervent desire.  My responses to you are indeed heavily NE related but that is due to your fandom and constant defense of them.  Don’t get me wrong, that stuff makes perfect sense on Pats Planet, but it’s on and misplaced here.  My posts not in response to you are about .043% NE related.  Audit for verification at your leisure.

     

    I guess you’ve now evolved by Bills bashing to defend Chiefs.  Should that be attributed to you being a fair weather fan or just a full time anti-Bills guy?

    A POS is a POS— no matter how many different teams jerseys he wears.  And every team has some.  Bills are no different—the point of discussion. That is such an overwhelmingly intuitive concept that even a guy with your abilities should understand.  Pointing this out shouldn’t harm you like this…

     

    focus on your NE obsession

     

     

    It may be intuitive but it is also irrelevant because it happened a long time ago in a completely different place with completely different circumstances.  You come to a Bills fans website to troll Bills fans.  At least that part is consistent.

    After watching interviews with MHJ and how he is focused on football, his work ethic, humble attitude and a self described homebody….+ his dad being there to guide him…

     

    I’d be willing to push the chips in for him.

     

    there is an extremely high probability he is a Top 5 WR in a hurry with Josh Allen.

     

    Plus he referenced Josh as one of the 4 QB’s he’d love to play with…the other 3 QB’s were Hebert, Stroud, Lawrence if I recall

     

    I don’t know if AZ / LAC will pass on taking him.  
     

    I expect the cost is:

     

    28, 60, 2025 1st, 2nd + another pick

     

    It’s also possible moving back that much is a non-starter for those teams and we’d need to move into the teens first in order to accomplish the trade

     

    (example: Beane traded Cordy Glenn to move into the teens before draft, then moved up more for Josh)

     

    Spencer Brown could have enough value to a team like the Raiders at 13 if we include a 4th to make that deal

    Video evidence of MHJ having learned from his father:

    I could probably write 100 pages on this topic.  Quick summary.

     

    The NFL and NHL are very different.  NFL is very coach-centric, and the program kind of falls in line with the coach and they get a few years.  If they hit on the QB, and the coach has a decent head on his shoulders, you get what the Bills have. I think McDermott and Beane are strong enough personalities where they do what they think is right, listen to Terry, and easily convince him that their path is correct.

     

    The NHL is much more nuanced.  You cannot clear the cap and rebuild in 2 years like the NFL.  There are extensive international scouting and development requirements and seeds need to be planted years in advance.  Coaches are the lowest man on the totem pole, and are thrown away with the trash for a kick in the butt the minute things aren't going right.  There is an intricate balance and chemistry with an NHL team that cannot be achieved by looking at statistics.  

     

     

    The rot from the Sabres actually comes from the ownership groups that came before Pegula.  Rigas (the NHL), and Golisano eroded the franchise and its reputation in the hockey/NHL community.  Things got very stale and incestuous under Regier and Ruff.  Pegula came on and enabled that to continue.  He thought just adding monitary resources would propel the Sabres to the top.  All it did was magnify and compound the problems.

     

    Since then, Pegula has groped around, thinking he (and Kim when she was president) are the smartest people in the building.  They have failed to bring in anyone with any kind of credibility and experience from the outside.  The entire league has passed the Sabres by and lapped them 3x.  Their image in the hockey world has gotten worse through players' inability to succeed here, and things like the treatment of Eichel.  Firing a GM and hiring a nobody with the purpose of firing all the scouts and hockey personnel is also a terrible look.  

     

    For 20 years, this team has needed someone with credibility to restore the image of this once great NHL franchise.  The thing needs to be completely re-built from the top down with the guidance of someone with extensive experience and rolodex.  

     

    You had me until: “treatment of Eichole”.  That guy is a mass hole punk from the word go and deserved less than the treatment he got.  Also, you left out Tim Murray….the worst GM in the history of professional sports.

    As the OP eluded to...Matt Milano has had some trouble with injuries, and he's likely trending on the backend of his prime.

     

     

    I don’t think he was eluding to it. I think he was very direct.
