  1. I don't either..son says it still stems from the tank yer and him scolding fans and me getting pissed at him...and he is prolly right! He almost cost us Jack with that late-season scoring surge he put on, and he sure seemed to have an extra level of try after the infamous Coyotes game.
  2. that is an idea, especially if i am going things sous vide but where i still want a pan sauce. But damn, i am so freaking happy and proud of cast irons...always joke with my kids that the one i like better will get them in the will!
  3. i have two 12 inch Lodge and 1 10 inch Lodge Cast Iron....all between 12 and 6 years of use. Problem is they are now almost non-stick, so if i want to get fond from the chicken when i do the skin, the cast iron won't work as well as a regular metal skillet!
  4. this was a cool site, thank you for posting. Trying the chicken breast recipe tonight! BTW, says you can't make a pan sauce with no fond...but should be some after the sear in a metal skillet no?..or at least that is what i am hoping for! Not using cast iron as mine are practically non-stick at this point
  5. was fun hame last night..i even made it all the way through!!!! I will still watch the vast majority games, and remember that great run the Sens the made a couple years back..and i think the Sabres can do that. My real peeve is with the point system. According to SportsClub Stats..great site BTW Bills playoff chances down 2 games with 4 to play................7.7% Sabres Playoff Chances down 2 games with 52 to play........10.9% NHL needs to get rid of this asinine system !
  6. those percentages are based on the results since the 3 point game has come into effect.It accounts for the way teams start to play as early as December...playing the 3rd to a standstill so each team gets a point, then fighting over the bonus point. Look at last night, half the friggen games worth 3 points, half worth 2. When a game is worth 3 and between two teams you are trying to chase, really freaking hard to make up ground, even a small number like 4 points. The empirical evidence bears that out over the last 11 years Frustrates me to no end when people say the standings would be the same with a 3-2-1 point system...teams and players would approach the 3rd completely different, there is no way to know right now how the new point would affect changes until you actually enact the change. Think of it this way..since Jack has come back, the Sabres have earned 7 of 10 points..freaking awesome by any measure. I am not 100% positive, but i think they were 4 out of the wild card then, they are 5 out now. And if you go by the magic 95 points and in, if they continue to gain points at 70% clip, they will only get to 98 points. So very little margin of error ! Good article here as well http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/the-race-to-95-points-what-nhl-teams-need-to-do-to-make-playoffs/
  7. I cant find the article from this year, but as crazy as it sounds, i think only 4 teams since 05 have been 4 pts back of last spot at end of November and made playoffs. 3 pt games as the season grinds on make it so freaking hard to catch anyone. http://grantland.com/features/nhl-playoff-chances-november/ http://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/playoff_prob.cgi minor miracle for them to make a run at it with so many teams to pass...those playoff percentages tell it all
  8. Hamilton was was speculating they may HAVE to send him back, even if he stays up say 12 games, due to the emergency nature of the callup...but then said that would be stupid if you burn his ECL and he still has to go back down. He did say he has to dress right now if he is up...no leeway there
  9. Funny, was just listening to Hamilton from his spot this morning on GR, and he said same thing...no one can tell him what the rule is with this emergency recall and if they want to keep him up...
  10. Paetch , Fitzpatrick , and Jillison count?
  11. what is your point here? The net 82 passing yards against a team that earned the #1 pick in the draft? the 202 net yards the team gained...again against the 27th ranked D in 2015? Maybe I missed your point...were you saying that game as an argument that Taylor is not a starting QB...then yes i agree and mike dropped...cause that was as awful a game as QB can have.
  12. Agreed on the team aspect..but an open receiver is an open receiver, time to throw is time to throw, reading the field is reading the field, running into sacks is running into sacks..and the all22 will show those things... And the last 5 out of 6 games has not been kind to Tyrod
  13. i am no fan Rex, but people wanted Caldwell's head on a platter last year as well. Switch to a new Cooter, have a receiver retire to who the QB always forced the ball, get some "puck luck"(behind in 11 straight 4th quarters and come out with winning record) , get some confidence, and Voila' ...
  14. did not watch last night, 3xFF this morning...1pt better than the zero expected, ....tough one tonight, that D against the 4th highest scoring team n the NHL...but i will watch this one
  15. That would work , but think even better would be just putting the grate over a fully lit charcoal chimney starter .....that chit gets crazy hot
  16. Bad enough to keep being mediocre, but according to this we spent the 7th most CASH on players the last 4 years. Aye yi yi....count me in on thinking both teams would get better with an owner who spent money...shos brains is still the most important asset https://twitter.com/AndrewBrandt/status/805873451475017728
  17. its 8 AM, and i am finding myself thinking of skipping this game tonight. 3 beatdowns in 3 days just is not attractive to me. Having said that, come dinner and a glass a wine and 8PM, my son will goad me into watching saying we can FF if it gets out of hand, i will acquiesce, grab a beer...and go to bed depressed yet again!!!!
  18. Thanks for the replies everyone ! Turned out great..so freaking easy. Put it in at 2, took it out right after Tyrod's fumble. Put a paste of fresh rosemary, thyme, garlic and olive on, put in under the broiler...awesome. Augie here is the vacuum sealer i bought. Looks like it is $10 more now, but worked great fo rme this weekend. https://www.amazon.com/Gourmia-GVS425-Function-Customizable-Preserve/dp/B01M6217V1 Any other recipes you all really like greatly appreciated.
  19. i went 6-10 as a wish....hate Rex and maybe gets him fired. Added bonus of people giving up their seasons so i can move lower in the upper deck!!!
  20. watched a bit of both of these games, then took an hour to do some chores...when i left these were both games...now giant middle finger emoji to both the Falcons and Jaguars
  21. i agree with this..not the timing of the pregnancy, but the timing of the birth
  22. Thx LA, that sound's awesome, but a roast it is today! Already thawed and ready to go...aint getting frozen a 2nd time!
  23. i refuse to click on BN articles , but hindsight is always 20/20. Raiders have a stud QB, Billsdo not...end of story. Bills O-Line is strong, Bills D is arguably better than the Raiders, they have better HEALTHY receivers, we have a superstar difference maker at RB...but they have a SUPERIOR QB. I could write an article saying how smart they are...but it's really all about the QB . and yes, they have a better coach with some balls..so there's that.
