    Its never been that they don’t care. It’s that they haven’t let their sports people do sports work and get out of the way. Whaley can’t hire a coach. Ted Black isn’t in charge. Terry needs to find his hockey McBeane. Until then he will continue to be the Lenny Smalls of NHL ownership. 

     

    I agree that they do care................The people of twitter are always claiming they only care about the Bills and don't care about the Sabres.

    Every time some BS school rains 3-pointers and upsets a much better team in March Madness, the product is diluted.

     

    True..................And, I know it wasn't your point, but I hate how the 3 pointer has changed the game.  It's all that matters now.

    I think this is the problem with the Sabres. He needs to get his hands off of the team. Obviously he has earned (bought) the right to do what he wants when he wants. But it is to the detriment to the success of his investment. Lets not forget when he extended Regier he said things like "nobody has a monopoly on hockey brains" in the organization. He spoke to Regier more than anybody else in the organization, and referee to their conversations as "scheming", and Ted Black called the management structure flat, not top down. He has been a terrible owner of that team. And until Russ diddled some interns (or something like that) he was doing the same thing with the Bills. Russ was his Darcy. 

     

    Then there are great owners like Steve Bisciotti: 
     

    "There is a difference between being involved and being in charge," Bisciotti said. "I want to be very involved. I just don't want to be in charge. You can't hire talented people and overrule them with less talents ... like myself."

     

    Jesus H Christ!  All I see for the last year is that the Pegulas could care less about the Sabres.  Now they are so into the Sabres that they are meddlers.

    Hardly. Is March Madness "diluted" because a champion emerges from a 68 team field?  Major college football has always been a beauty contest. It ought to be won on the field from a schedule NOT of your choosing.

     

    If I ran things I would include every FBS conference champion in a playoff because every school ought to start the year with a path to the national championship, like in basketball.

     

    You're totally in reverse.  March Madness is not the regular season.  The regular season is absolutely diluted.  For schools like UB and Bona, it isn't - but for teams that know they are going to be in the tourney every year, it totally is.  ALL that matters is March Madness then.

    Admittedly, a lot of my perception is from anecdotal stories from people within PSE. These people though, in many cases, have been with other organizations. You see the differences between good and bad. The Bills were a well-oiled machine in this department for years despite the mess in the other half of the building. Now the roles are reversed.

     

    Not knowing what it's like to work inside a sports organization, can you give some examples of these good vs. bad stories?

    From the presser, Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia:

    The temp $600 is available to gig employees, self-employed, and regular employees. (How long it takes will vary by states.)  States will be able to catch them up later when the state computer systems are updated ($500M has gone to the states to help them update their systems).

     

    Will I lose out on anything if I wait until my 2019 taxes are done.............After days of questioning people, I think I finally have figured out it would be better for me to get my 2019 done and submitted before applying.  But, I don't want to miss any deadlines or anything like that?

    It’s pretty incredible and 1,000% agree @416BillsFan. In terms of interviewers in this world it’s:

    Howard Stern 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    everybody else

     

    I thought it was a great interview.  But, I've only listened to a handful of interviews in the last two years of so, because Howard kept putting words in the interviewees mouth - and cutting them off to do it.  It was driving me nuts..............He didn't do it today but maybe because Brady wasn't in studio.

    I have never seen any change in him physically. He has always been slow and his arm slightly better than average strength wise. If there was one position in the NFL where a player could play until 45 it would be QB. Like I said if he is using HGH I haven’t seen anything that might give it away like Brady having a Allen type arm or running faster. His arm actually looked weaker and weaker the last 3 years and his mobility has also taken a fall. 

     

    Brady was saying that his skill set was only to be a QB and he couldn't even play another football position on a high school team.
