  1. There's a history of bad blood between Pegulas and TBN (Harrington specifically), so it shouldn't be surprising that Harrington penned a hit job on the organization. The bigger issue is that the story lacks any newsworthiness that any follower of the team doesn't already know. It's worse that the local veteran Sabres reporter parroted the national/Canadian stories about the lopsided trade, despite having far greater access to the facts surrounding the trade. Heck, there's been far more detail revealed in the last two pages of this thread on possibly why Sabres dumped O'Reilly than anything in Harrington's piece. It was lazy journalism, whose bigger intent was to rub it into Pegulas than to provide a newsworthy account.
  2. The reason Spain is not there today
  3. I guess another bad outcome from not having Ryan O'Reilly around last year.
  4. And you’re pretending that the Sabres front office acted on a public pronouncement by a malcontent talent. As is always the case, whether the front office is incompetent or not, they know far more on what’s actually going on with the team than any one looking from the outside in. Given the assets Sabres used to acquire O’Reilly and then dump him a few years later, certainly indicates there were bigger issues at play than his petulant clean-out interview. I also don’t understand the point of how he should be upset with Sabres unloading young talent to build a team, since they used young talent as the trading chip to acquire HIM.
  5. Purely a conjecture, but I think that’s the reason Trump has been on the sidelines all along, he wasn’t going to do anything to help May. He likes Johnson, and if he’s elevated, I expect Trump to provide much more support for the hard exit.
  6. Nah. Too obvious. She's probably asking for recommendations for a new driver.
  7. Worse than covfefe? That would be quite the contest to identify the worst Trump tweet ever.
  8. That's expected from stable geniuses.
  9. The irony remains is that members of Congress and their families are subject to far fewer laws & regulations governing conflicted holdings. Can't say this enough - if anyone in the US financial industry would try to conduct self-dealing that Congress gets away with, they would be fired on the spot and probably face jail time.
  10. Also dead ...
  11. They're hoping to find a K1 from Russia Collusion LTD with a net distribution of $1 billion.
  12. Foster kids are a bit different than kids adopted early on. The general perception is that adoption solves the abortion debate. It does not, because adoption is not a panacea.
  13. Assuming you're trading with Saints to get him?
  14. This is one of those cases where much consideration needs to be placed on what is the "right" thing to do and the "right" way to do it The only analogy I can provide is how sometimes husbands respond to a question from the wife....
  15. Of course it's ugly if that's what happened. But you have one half of the country convinced that the other side is the one who committed treason. One side has had 2 years of a constant public drum beat of conspiracy and collusion. The other side has been waiting for the mythical unveiling of the coup. How do you resolve it without massive casualties if the indictments just drop?
  16. I do not see how this doesn't turn very ugly, unless somebody blinks.
  17. Glenn cost the equivalent of a mid 2nd rounder to do the swap so your math doesn't add up. In retrospect, who wouldn't trade an expensive guard with a recent injury history for a mid 2nd rounder?
  18. 40 year time span, not 60
  19. Thx.
  20. What year was this - 2000 home opener?
  21. RIP - FlutieFlakes. She had a big heart. As Scott mentioned, she was definitely a character that livened up the discussion. But you couldn't argue about her passion. Always sad to hear the passing of the board old-timers. Another reminder of our aging as well.
  22. Or McDermott grading higher than Waddle? Did he even have more than 10 snaps all season?
