i am going off his decision to not sign the first extension back in December that triggered the first shutdown. He told McConnell he would sign the resolution..only to back out when those opinion folks, along with Rush, went nuts. I firmly believe that is why you are not hearing a peep from his camp on this deal, he wants to see how the wind is blowing with his base first, and especially the tone his nightly call with Hannity. BTW, i will respect the dude much more if stands up for his principles. He knows the Dems shoved the assinine bed thing in there just so's they had something to bend on...and it is usually him using this age old negotiating technique. I am sure he is pissed the way this played out...but he is in a bit of a corner no w. Dems outplayed the Republicans on this on so far...

is that doable?

In terms of will he sign it??? Guess it depends on what Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson, and Ducey tell him to do no?

i think about it as well. I mean the last 5 years have basically been ( from a ticket price perspective) Opener and Pats Game= 1.5X Season Ticket Price(STP) 2 other games before Halloween= 1.25 STP Games in Nov=40% below STP December games= 75% below .. If you go to only the opener and game in November...way better buying ala carte... If they make the playoffs...ya eat the 1.5 again..

I can't blame you for that decision, it really hard when you do not live in town..or at least within a 2 hr drive. I am sure if the last 3 years tickets had not been practically unsellable after Halloween, the decision would be easier.

agreed and heard.. BTW, maybe Malkin gets 5? Has it been announced if in person or not? My quick search just found "hearing"

#1) Defend your boy Housley on his utilization of a forward who has not scored in 35 games..most minutes on team outside top 3. 2) If Skinner ain't signing before the trade deadline, damn well better get something for him.

@K-9, the o my question is will @JohnC ever be able to recognize coaching blunders like the Sobitka article by Yost. When di do we start the trade Skinner debate. I think I am am almost there. Negoatiate a deal now, say 8 for $9 with a handshake deal that we gunna trade you, get a haul , and be better when you sign July 1 for 8 and $9.5. He gets an extra $4m ( paid in signing bonus BTW), Sabres prolly get a decent 2C prospect and a # 1,,. Both sides win.

did he not take like a $7M signing bonus from the A's? How does that work?

just a heads up for ya Marv..Camel really is a nice place if you want to see live music https://richmondmagazine.com/arts-entertainment/music/got-the-blues/

hey @The Poojer , which one of these are you? https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/types-of-beer-snobs

okay, but @Buffalo716 is the official caterer of the event..

I don't hate anybody, I hate the acceptance that Buffalo teams have to suck. It's something that seems to have crept into the collective psyche of the Buffalo fan base. Maybe I, and others like me that advocated hard for the tank, have to bear some of the responsibility. Sabres did play okay yesterday..but we base it off how awful they played the preceding 2 months. And i think just the opposite fo being negative on t he team and players, I thnk the players are capable of competing, its the coach who is not! And BTW, 26 might need to catch his breath here..his mistakes really seem to be growing...not quite sure what the right course of action is..reduced minutes??? Did anybody see how Nelson did this week? Strange as it sounds, I think we get better when he gets back

whens the housewarming party all your TBD friends are invited to?

While that is true Foxx and intelligent people understand that, these are Trump voters who are upset and we know they are not the sharpest tools in the shed?

^^^^^ @K-9 , don't you know silly they are coming from last place, ( lets not discuss the fact he coached em to last place)...and it's Buffalo so first, lower your expectations!..the plan and the process is sacred, wins and points are for neophytes who don't understand the modern game...the long game of making the playoffs when Jack is about to come off his 8 year deal is where the smart, patient fan lands. People who want them to make the playoffs ...uneducated. Next year we will compete for a playoff spot as we bring the kids from Rochester up..(cant expect them to really make the playoffs in their first year), the year after we should expect an 8th place finish as the kids grow into their role...year after , well we lost some core players who just got too old, but the plan is in place..rinse , wash, repeat

Just finished up my nap, went to grab a beer for the game, and whadya know, they have dogs running obstacles courses on Fox. Way more entertaining than the Sabres. Get to game later, if At all!

and its not a good one...its a great one!!!!

That is the Korneiser podcast. Been reading / listening to Mr. Tony since 1988. We both old now. I shudder to think of my life without without him adding to my enjoyment on a near daily basis.

Oh, thought you meant this big red Go Denison! https://www.ncaa.com/video/swimming-men/2018-03-24/diii-mens-swimming-diving-championship-day-four-recap

PMT, This Show Stinks, Howard and Jerenmy

Well, instead of getting frustrated watching the Sabres, I am losing my ass betting ping pong against my brother in law at a ping pong social club in DC. MOST EXPENSIVE ping pong hour in the world!

he was shocked the Bills did not pick him as well

Sabre free day for me today...not even gunna watch later. They have broken me

Pants are overrated... @Augie is old and grumpy...wish there was a better story!!!!
