Didn't we have a thread on PP being hot despite her age just a few months ago? She still is! Not a surprise. Guys don't seem to understand that women don't think like men. Men are into all things visual when it comes to sexual attraction; women aren't necessarily hard wired in that same way. Being able to provide, stability, personality, being funny, being able to focus on and pay attention to the woman are all important to women, probably moreso than raw looks. I have noted for many years that it is common to see couples in public where the guy is very average or below average in appearance, but the woman is pretty hot. It's RARE to find couples the other way around, though they do exist.

Life is Beautiful was a good movie. It was Italian and would have had English subtitles, though maybe you saw a version with English dubbed over? Always go with subtitles if you can; I can't stand watching foreign films with English dubbing; it's just wrong.

Ironically I just took a moment out and did this yesterday. I think I go for a period of months between clippings. Never really documented it. I live in FL and wear flip flops every day and am often walking around barefoot; at a certain point in time my big toe nails in particular just start to look too long and gross, and then it's time to give them the chop. When I cut the big nails, I hit the others as well. And that's about as much as I'm ever going to write about cutting my toe nails.

Folks around here have extremely short memories. Being a Bills fan has historically required a short attention span.

Anyone who has been a Bills fan for any sustained duration can be said to be "dedicated." This franchise has historically required all fans to be dedicated. Normal fans are long gone!

It's weird how one human being, for example, might be Isaac Newton, and single handedly do much of the intellectual heavy lifting the entire human species rides on for several centuries thereafter. Another human is fireworks boy, who lit off fireworks in a store b/c he was upset and it seemed like the thing to do. Just how big is the intellectual gap between those two individuals? Is it measurable? If so, how much?

That is a great idea for a drug lord film set in Mexico among the cartels down there. Drug Lord dude gets idea to implant diamond in his forehead; rival orders the recovery of the diamond; guys sent to do the dirty work resort to cutting head off to quickly get the rock without damaging it....bring entire head with stone intact to whomever ordered it. It's great moment in Hollywood history waiting to happen.

Saving Private Ryan has its moments, but there are more tear jerker moments for sure in the entirety of Band of Brothers. I guess BOB is not technically a movie, but it really is, and it's a really long, good one to boot. Lots of scenes in both SPR and BOB, and especially the documentary they did about the real BOB, called "We Stand Alone Together". Watch that if you haven't seen it by now!

Schindler's List is the only movie I can recall that elicited so clearly an emotional outpouring in me, at least while seated in a theatre, during the movie. Its was actually at the end when all the real people involved in the story were putting the little rocks on the grave of the real Oscar Schindler. There I was in public, crying, and utterly unable to stop it. Probably the single greatest emotional response I have ever had to any film. It's one of the reasons why I have that film somewhere in my personal Top 10 all time, maybe top 5. I know people who will not see it b/c "it is depressing" or some other pre-conceived negative thought...they have no idea what an experience they are missing. And it's really a very optimistic, positive story at its core.

It's not great, but it's not bad either. What makes it not great is the salary retention involved, which should have improved the return a lot. Overall, I think the return is OK. Nothing to complain about. We have a long way to go with lots of dumping to do, so keep going Mr. Adams! Getting rid of Eichel of is a terrible idea, unless you want to clearly lose that trade, take a league wide top 10 C off the team, and also get rid of the best player on the team. You don't want to do that, do you?

THANK GOD!

The Sabres have brought in a number of individuals with a creative vision for how it's supposed to work. The problem is the Pegulas constantly meddle with the process, and then fire the administration long before it has a chance to bring its vision to life. I am not defending *any* of the past administrations here, I didn't like any of them at the time, but if ownership is going to behave in this manner, you will only have a lot more losing for many years to come. The Sabres are now what the Bills were for the last 15 to 20 years of Ralph Wilson's life: a complete mess and it is one that is not going to get cleaned up until: 1) ownership changes or 2) ownership has an epiphany and completely re-invents how it operates. I personally am hoping for Pegula to sell the team and focus on the Bills. It's the easiest path to success.

I watched the entire game. What was really alarming on the shorty against was just how SLOW Dahlin is. Guys in this league who are pressing the point man on our PP (almost always Dahlin) have enough speed to get 1 step on Dahlin almost immediately, and then never be caught. He is just *so slow*, and that's not going to get any better. It doesn't help that his hockey IQ has also gone in the toilet since he became a Sabre too. Not sure your average Sabres fan realizes just how destroyed this franchise is right now. It's going to take *years* to dig out of this mess, assuming they hire the right people and the immediately start making the right decisions.

You have hit on only half the equation. The key distinction between the Bills and Sabres is that the Pegulas do not fancy themselves football people, so they have stayed the F out of the way in Orchard Park. They do fancy themselves hockey people, and are constantly meddling in internal Sabres affairs. As long as Pegula operates the Sabres in this manner, they will be terrible. Folks have really short memories around here, don't they? LMFAO

Excellent piece from Five Thirty Eight today. The author suggests the Sabres have been below league average since early 2013. Ever since, over a span of 632 games (or eight years, one month and 23 days), the Sabres have been solidly below average at best. Worst losing skid in N. American men's pro sports--all of them! LOL https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/everything-that-could-go-wrong-for-the-buffalo-sabres-has-gone-wrong/

I remember the bird strike when it happened. That is the greatest example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time that anyone will ever encounter. It also demonstrates just how freaking hard these guys throw a baseball, especially a killer like Johnson.

This guy has lived a brutal, tough and interesting life so far, even if he is only 28. If he doesn't have a killer work ethic, I'm not sure who would. (From Wikipedia) At the age of 10, Obada and his sister were trafficked from the Netherlands (where they moved from Nigeria at the age of 8) into England and left homeless as soon as they arrived in London.[1][2]They initially slept rough, then in an office block, then with a family friend, before living in 10 different foster homes.[1] He eventually worked as a security guard at Grace Foods in Welwyn Garden City.[3][4]

How about editing your thread title and putting the hyphen in there where it belongs?

Best coaching staff? That's in Foxboro, by a mile. Best QB? That's in Orchard Park.

Can't imagine wanting to go to an NFL draft. I guess I'm missing something.

Which makes our historic neglect of the position for decades all the more outrageous!

It doesn't?

If something big is going down (like recently with the coaching change), I will listen to them. Otherwise, I don't listen. Their habit of constantly talking over each other (sometimes all 3 are talking at the same time when Marty is on the show) makes it unlistenable. I can't believe there isn't some sort of broadcasting professional at WGR-550 correcting them on this. God knows those 2 guys never took an undergrad communications class. LOL

If you made a fictional movie and had an NFL owner in it with a haircut like that, people would say it was too over the top, ridiculous, and just not realistic. And yet there it is in real life! The truth is always more interesting than fiction.
