Bama is already in if they don't lose another game. Don't even try to convince yourself otherwise. If they lose a second game.....and I think they have Middle Tennessee State coming up.....they might not make it. With one loss, there are excuses aplenty.

They would have technology that rapidly does that.

If aliens were to exist and try to visit Earth, you have made potentially valid points, but only covered some of these points. If they are advanced enough to travel the distances involved, they have likely conquered all disease and have the ability to detect and dispatch threats very quickly. Could they adapt to what must be different gravity, pressure, seasonal cycles, atmosphere and on and on? I'd think yes, because as complex as all of the above are, the distance issue is still probably tougher. Look at all the things we'd have to do to travel beyond our system carrying a human payload. If it isn't impossible, which it very well may be, it is excruciatingly tough and frankly, likely not worth it. We could transport future generations with techno guardians so much more easily. For the generations already born, I could see a space faring craft that is a permanent dwelling but not really going anywhere except away from danger. Aliens if they existed, which they demonstrably don't, would have the same issues. Von Neumann probes, controlled by AI and carrying DNA codes would already be here if they were ever coming. They aren't. Anything carrying a living being would likely be way after that.

LOL. I'm pretty sure they will be in the playoff.

I saw something on the scroll at the bottom of ESPN that Jets management wants to be patient. I didn't look up the article but LOL.

Even longer period of mediocrity? A. Longer than what? The decade we've already logged? B. Sadly mediocre would be a giant step up from where the Sabres have been. Whatever they're doing hasn't worked with or without Eichel. I'm not saying he has to go but am saying we don't have the luxury of taking options off the table. Dahlin is the obvious exception. Your last paragraph discusses talent. It is the GM's job to put talent on the ice. The previous GM had a glorious opportunity and failed while calling everyone else stupid. This guy was not dealt the same hand but it wasn't a bad one either. You state that a team needs elite talent and role players but he has gone after role players and marginal talent. Rochester wins, but very few guys look NHL ready. Nylander took 100 years and sucked. They traded him, at least getting a decent player in return, and he immediately looks viable in Chicago. Dahlin isn't as good at 19 as he was at 18. How often does that happen? We have two decent backup goalies and no starter. This is all on the GM and none of it has improved.

What a joke. The good news for him is that the NCAA has a record of rethinking punishments. Well in child rape cases that went on for years and years anyway. Who knows when it comes to an obvious future millionaire getting a loan or a kid selling an autograph. That stuff is on a different level.

I still view the coach in a positive light. I'd say internally let him assess the needs and communicate them. Maybe time to re-set again? Some really big trades, like even Eichel? His career is clearly being wasted,maybe some of that is on him, and he would return a king's ransom. This GM shows zero urgency unless there is traffic before tee time so if I'm Pegula I wait.....again....dump the GM .1 seconds after the season ends and get someone that is connected with Krueger. Ideally that would be done now but it seems unrealistic.

It'll take 15 more years and this doofus will understand sitcom math.

Did they have a song called All Mixed Up or was that someone else? That was a good song but you don't hear it much.

Botts' sense of urgency starting to reap it's predictable dividends. On a positive note I hear he cut three strokes off his handicap this summer.

All you have to do to nail Trump on that is change the definition of the words value and personal. That shouldn't be too hard.

Perhaps you should start a shape shifting thread. PPP or OTW? That is up to you.

Darnold did it?

Good ole professor Kookoo keeping his name out there. Exoplanets? Really? Why must he leave out so many pertinent data points?

She is a risk taker too!

Well if you don't know the answer how is anyone else going to know?

It's what this thread laid by existing.

Absolute clown show

Read the whole thing. . Translation: Beardy guy is just another joker in a long line. No guarantee that anything will be done before an election that is a YEAR away? I've got news for you Beardy, if that election goes to a dem, it won't take them a year to shut down your investigation. It'll be FAR faster than Goodell burning the Cheatriots tapes. One thing is sort of right in the last paragraph. His whole life has prepared him for this "moment". Like many others, he appears adept at turning a moment into a year, and doing nothing except building plausible excuses for why he didn't do anything. In no endeavor other than government could something so systemically important have an infinite timeline for resolution. In the real world, he would be fired for needing a year to do anything. Boiled down, his task is relatively straightforward and in theory, although probably a lie, he has limitless resources. Like Horowitz, he has no intention of doing anything ever.

This GM has done some positive things but signing Hutton was not some epiphany. He was one of just a few free agent options and he is basically average although when he is on he really helps the team. Replacing Lehner was going to look good even if he signed Louie Anderson to play goalie. The frustrating part about Botts is his willingness to golf his days away while waiting 1000 years for success. It won't work. Eichel will be turning 52 in year one of Botts "get the 8 seed plan". Player development has to be called into question at this point. Nylander, utterly worthless for years in the Sabres system, is a viable NHL player 10 minutes after moving to Chicago and we have a 19 year old phenom that is.......regressing? Not a good look. The coach has been a positive for sure so good on Botts for hiring him but he can't keep giving him chicken **** and ask for chicken salad.

When? Never mind. I know when. Having a Philip Barbay outlook on the world doesn't change the world dude. Like David Bowie said...."same as it ever was.....same as it ever was".

Lol. Huber, Horowitz and the new beardy guy get attention too. Like with them, absolutely nothing will happen with this until the 12th.

So maybe not a hot tub, maybe a thimble's worth?

They drowned in melted polar ice caps?
