That's No Moon

Kay. Doesn't matter. Haacks didn't matter either. It's fine.

to be fair, at the start of this conversation he hadn't any punts blocked at all.

He had 2 punts blocked vs. Utah St. last season. Here is video of the second one.

At least 2

3 step punters get kicks blocked. That's reality. IDGAF about everyone's man crush on this punter. It could be ANY punter. 3 steps is bad. I said the same thing about Haack last year in the PS re: punts getting out slowly, got shouted down and he cost us the game week 1.

I don't like 3 step punters.

Because they know you won't change the channel

Did Dante Scarnecchia come out of retirement again?

Fred Jackson or Stevie Johnson

Link?

Had cancer.

I watched the whole thing. He started off telling you his own thoughts then devolved into the PR talking points that make everyone happy. Is it a problem today? No. Does it give me concern if things don't go to plan at some point? Yes.

It was bigger than you expected? I still don't understand why any of this makes people happy. This is not a good interview. He's telling you out of his own mouth that he's still doubting why he signed here and the answer to why he signed here is simple. Money.

Certain politicians are fighting against the establishment of a universal no-fly list for misbehavior on board aircraft. As such, each airline has to do it individually. This lady will be banned from that airline but will still be free to fly any other.

The NFL is investigating? Well, I feel better already.

When you have Jeff Fisher as a HC don't expect a lot of offensive creativity

Listen to Artie Lange's bit on degenerate gambling. NSFW

Strauss Mann put up better individual numbers with 2 much lesser Michigan teams and is playing in Sweden right now. Available for nothing. He's about the same size as Devon Levi. Portillo wasn't going to play in Buffalo next year anyway. It wasn't going to happen. He was probably told that, as was Levi. Hence their decisions to return to school. Luukkonen is going to be the goaltender next year. They set it up this way so I don't understand why anyone is surprised about it. UPL and Anderson in Buffalo, Tokarski and whoever in Rochester. Maybe they bring in another developmental guy but probably not. They probably draft another goalie late with the intent of stashing him in the NCAA. You kind of need to do this every year anyway given the development trajectory of most goalies (read, they take forever).

Actually there are plenty of companies who are interested in working with athletes who now can without screwing up eligibility. Are there boosters backdooring their way in past the rules banning boosters yes there are but this opened up a venue for lots of people who are compliance minded to participate with these athletes.

It didn't happen this way, but players still have to be very careful who they accept gifts from. By virtue of the 80 million dollar hockey arena with his name on it, Terry is considered to be a booster of the Penn State hockey program. Boosters are still very much forbidden from paying athletes or providing them things of value even with the NIL agreement situation. Apparently he was there as a guest of the NCAA which eliminates any potential issues.

You have to have an actual NIL first and there are rules still about who can do the paying. Boosters can't do NIL deals, for example. Good. Problem solved.

Unless Mr. Levi paid for his ticket to sit up there he's got an eligibility problem.

OK, well he can then play the rest of the regular season in Rochester, but I don't think he can play in the playoffs there. Or he can just not play until the fall I guess.

So, when Power signs, the question is will he sign and play on Sunday or not? If he doesn't play Sunday there are only 8 games left in the season. He could play all 8 and not till a year off his ELC. If he plays Sunday, he can hit the magic number of 9. They could also send him to Rochester but I don't think he's playoff eligible there. They need to get their poop together or they will miss the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised to see Power in Buffalo and one of Fitzgerald or Samuelsson (probably Fitzgerald) go down to help them qualify since they are playoff eligible for the Amerks.
