PM @Rubes , he be a long time resident of SLC. Many many moons ago I watched a game in SLC with him. Now, he getting a little long in the tooth as they say...so maybe his recommendations with be watching the game at the old folks home! But seriously, I am sure he can help out and is just a great dude. BTW, i thnk the liquor laws have eased. UNita and Epic are great breweries located in SLC

damn, so few remember Fernwood tonight... just awesomeness. Having said, i don't recall America Tonight all great..even season two was great..just not as great.

Yep..but posts abounded tonight. Good effort for the most part, actually feel a bit sorry for them.

So to be clear, yesI make and many others make jokes about just about anything., even things that are .not comfortable .As I said, the priest stuff affects me directly in more ways than one..And yes, I make jokes about it all the time. And that stuff I am 100% , unequivocally positive it happened and I know the circumstances around it. Two things you have no clue about in this situation..aka Jussie Smollet. Your post reeks of faux outrage

Lighten up Francis. We have threads here all the time with the “ Hitler” guy, included one about the dude who played him just died. Does that mean everyone thinks the atrocities Hitler committed are funny? Not one one person on the board thinks sex trafficking is funny. But as of now, you have ZERO clue if trafficking was involved or not, or to what extent. I and others here here have been directly affected by the horrible acts committed by priests, and I will continue to make jokes about that as well. It does not mean I am insensitive to the victims , it means sometimes humor can be our best medicine.

I think an MOU is used differently in treaties and tariffs than it is business,..which lord knows I did noy know that either! And I am way smarter than Trump?

used to..you should check it out. Some very knowledgeable people on that board. Different vibe than this board..not better, not worse, just different. See which one suits ya better!

do we have any idea what " good progress" means. I really would like to get from the Trump supporters what a new trade agreement with China should look like..and then compare it to what Trump actually gets compared to where he started the trade war. I mean we know the dude is going to claim total victory, be great to actually judge results against pre-defined criteria.

Hey for all those who say i will never agree on anything Trump says or does..I am in full agreement here!!! https://www.yahoo.com/news/trade-chief-dumbs-down-contract-082052157.html Can't count NO MOU numbers as sales or revenue, a contract is a contract, and MOU is useless in my world

Plenty of advanced stats says this guy was one of our better D men and was just utilized the wrong way by the coaching staff...hmm, seems to be a common thought.

well, i don't think you take just the guys picked in the 3rd round on comp picks and gauge the value, but players drafted after that pick that turned into good to very good players to great players...that is what the pick represents.

as I mentioned above, when dealing with autocrats, dictators, communists etc...the leader of that country has very little to lose. In North Korea's case, from my understanding, a significant portion of the population already lives in poverty, continued sanctions aint making a dent in their lifestyle, its already at rock bottom. ..ya think they gonna revolt and throw him out cause they went from poverty to slightly worse poverty? What does he have to lose relative to his position and his power? He is Supreme Leader for life..POTUS not so much. And no, I don't think the agreement is done by any stretch..sure was not last time. Lets hope more concrete steps, and i think there will be as Trump lowered the bar yesterday to no more testing...it will take steps..hopefully in this agreement we get some verification steps as well

Hogan gunna go out and get em!!!!

just like China, their leadership answers to no one and faces no elections. Trump has elections, and specifically primaries coming up...and he wants no part of being primaried( is that the right word?) . These guys know how to hit Trump where it hurts..look at the socialistic bailout for the farmers based on China's reaction to Trump trade war ..they know that's his base.

I hope this goes well. He scares me at a negotiating table when he has more to lose than the other side. OTOH, if Pompeo is leading the discussions and informing Trump of what is realistic etc I feel much better.

? Risto is that perfect argument..the eye test says one thing, the advanced stats say another. As you know, i have been saying for two years now that Risto's possession numbers are awful, and when he is on the ice the Sabres possession numbers are pretty bad. Housley wants his D to control play and possess the puck so maybe not a fit for this coach but will be for the non knucklehad coaching next year? Really is a good read here on Risto and why he may be an attractive trade option for the Sabres and why others may value his games https://www.diebytheblade.com/2019/2/19/18230323/it-may-be-time-for-the-buffal-sabres-to-use-rasmus-ristolainen-as-a-trade-chip

I don’t have time to read John, but is he suggesting Risto on the trade?

A very samall edition Bourbon. But all good now that @mead107 has agreed to buy beers at opener.

$3750 bargain if you @Augie, crazy money for the rest of us. None of us guessed below $4k, so we all agreed @mead107 should just buy drinks at th ripener for all who ask

Going to a charity thing tonight..one of the live auction items is a bottle of the 23 year Pappy. too rich for my beer drinking simple behind, any you fellas want it? I am gunna suggest to our group we play a price is right game for $10 a head..closest to wining bid without going over gets the $60. Knowing the crowd, and who is gonna wanna say theirs is bigger, I am going to guess $5,005.00

That’s what I said, nephews said I am old time. 53 on ice to start 3 Ed? Wow

Skinny looks cooked for the season. No weight at all on that left leg.

Dude, this is as public as public gets. A private matter would be how he and his family and girlfriend are dealing with his alleged actions. Having a warrant for your arrest/ being arrested/ charged with a crime is , by law in the US, public knowledge, as it should absolutely be. Mans yes there are charges. This is one of the highest profile people in the highest profile sport in the country ... a sport who’s championship is a de facto national Holiday. Your damn right it’s going to be a story of national import. BTW, one needs to watch die hard Bills fan Jeff Glor lead off his newscast last night on CBS with this story. will post if I can find it.

This is what scares the hell out of me..from ESPN article, asking what team "is the top sourse of anxiety as trade deadline approaches I fear always playing for the future instead of expecting results today can get you in this position. The bolded I can see being the Sabres in 4 years http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/26054658/the-biggest-nhl-trade-deadline-questions-answered BTW, to get off off this enless circular argument.. Who would ya want ...Skinner or Breadman?
