  1. I gave that a thumbs up because I like Risto and agree with the Eichel/Dahlin summary. While Risto has value our GM has also shown a proclivity for useless forwards so I'd just keep the good defenseman rather than add yet another Sheary/Vesey/Thompson/Mittlestadt.

  3. Olympia Dukakis?

  5. It sort of turned crappy. It had the widest gap I've ever seen in a show between some very interesting premises and the lame way they were delivered. There was some good stuff in the show but it was about a 6. A few changes could have made it much better.
  6. Something like that will happen. Goalie sticks with force fields will be an NHL scandal in the 2249-50 season. Understandable but the punishment could be something unannounced if they were smart. Allowing their entire OL to hold for a decade seems like a weird punishment.
  7. "In this league"
  8. Just wait for Cozens to mature in three years. Then we'll only need five more players to secure the 8.
  9. I like Mahomes fine and some of the rest of the team. I can do without crybaby Kelce. That said, every time Hill does something I get sick to my stomach. I can't root for them at all.
  10. You typed "or" but you meant "and".
  11. Dude do a little math. Although they can play well in brief stretches, the playoff ship has sailed already. They will not be in the playoff running until the end of the season any more than the Detroit Lions were. How many teams would they have to pass to get to 8? They are way, way, out of it. Saying that they can contend until the end, given the numbers, explains the spin you put on other aspects of the team's status. You should just wait the sevens years for Cozens and the goalie with all the k's and hope every viable free agent is signed via text from the 4th green because that is the best that'll happen with Botts. The coaching, effort level in many games....not all, and development of some of the guys are the positives this year, and they are big and important. That is offset by the grind against the backdrop of substandard talent assembled and tolerated by a GM that is in way over his head. Those two factors are opposed. If the former wins out we can be good soon. Unfortunately that is probably not 20-21 without miracles because the GM has been asleep at the switch and we need about 6 new impact guys....too many to be realistic in one offseason. If it is the latter, it will get very ugly within two years and make the tank look like the good old days. From everything I've seen Krueger is the right guy for a turnaround and beyond, but he can't work miracles and paint the Sistine Chapel when Botts keeps giving him .99 c styrofoam brushes and low end paint. We are likely in a period similar to the McDermott/Whaley era. Hopefully Krueger knows someone like Beane. And yes I realize Whaley and Botts are different. Whaley overpaid some actual talents like Dareus who underachieved and held us back whereas Botts thinks Vesey and Sheary and Thompson and Hutton and others are sufficient talent. It's the same end result.
  12. Cardinals or Dodgers vs. Yankees or Twins based on post cheating fallout. Two upstart teams that may contend will be the White Sox and Padres. I only left the Nats out due to WS hangover. Philly and Atlanta will also be good. NL > AL by a baziliondy miles.
  13. My initial take on this is that it is a bad look for Repulicans because in 2020 very few pictures rise to the level "salacious" anymore. Although that is sad for society, it is reality. Schiff is a very easy read. He is a scumbag and a liar. They should not make him into a victim. If the photos are truly salacious on a 2020 scale then I'm not sure where this goes. If he is getting some action from an adult male or female it will probably work in his favor.
  14. Some Inegrated Technologies Can Obliterate Many Mundane Alien Theories Handily
  15. Olympia Dukakis?
  16. Mike Dukakis
  17. It's only a side note but there has to be a story about the road team winning all 7 WS games this year.
  18. 3 episodes in to a SciFi show called The Feed on Amazon. I could see it turning crappy but so far it is intriguing.
  19. When baseball is played at its highest level it is a damn near perfect sport. It is so balanced between offense and defense that the slightest variation can make a huge difference. This BS robs from that balance because the offense employs resources simply not available to the defense. A guy leading off second and trying to signal the batter is one thing and a batter sneaking a peak is another. They can be combatted. This crap can't be. And its its really not all that different from what the Patriots are still doing.
  20. Not in DC but they do have it in Colorado in a bathroom.
  21. Which is all 100% separate from doxxing anyone. My take on JB is that I was clueless so I have no way of knowing if anyone else joking with him might also have been. I don't recall JB joking about underage stuff but maybe he did. Once discovered and fully doxxed I would have been personally uncomfortable interacting with him at all and certainly joking about anything sexual, at any age. I don't recall any jokes from anyone ever on here about underage stuff. My take on the dismissive nature of some toward how far Epstein's tentacles may have reached is that it seems personal. A Buffalo Bills message board does little to enable or disable pedophiles in reality but it can inform. If someone isn't interested then ignore it. Mocking it is something I find strange but whatever. Doxxing of either party in an argument like that seems out of bounds to me. This is whole place is here for disagreements and sharing of information for concurrence and refutation. That can all be achieved without making anything personal.
  22. You're lucky the head chef didn't use you for a hackysack.
  23. Harry Potter? Mark Harmon
