We've been using this link over at the Sabres Report board and it breaks down the Sabres payroll/cap situation really well. It may not be perfect, but it's close. http://members.shaw.ca/cdelosreyes/

Each player's cap hit is their average salary over the life of the contract. A lot of the new contracts they just signed escalate each year. Campbell's is a simple example. He's making 1.25 million this year and 1.75 million next year. That makes his cap hit 1.5 million.

Sounds like poker over here. At least there's some throwing in darts, which makes it fit in on espn far better than poker does.

The only real purpose that I see to it is that it cuts back on long contract hold outs like the Peca situation a few years back.

It's such a complex document. It's hard to keep track of all the rules. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that they are allowed to re-sign him now. Obviously there are some obstacles, but in theory, I team could reject the arbitration results in order to work around that rule where they can't renegotiate/extend the contract until January.

I just did a quick look through the CBA and there is nothing about this, so I guess I was thinking about MLB. The one interesting thing I did read is that the teams are only allowed to walk away from a certain number of contracts. It really had no effect on the Sabres, but since they had 3 contracts awarded in arbitration, they could only walk away from two of them at most.

I'm sure dave will chime in, but I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to re-sign him.

Well it's still better than poker, darts, or paintball.

I hated the ending of last season, but at least we'll get to see that resolved before the show takes it's long World Series break.

What the hell is the point of this? Does reebok expect fans to go out and buy ref jerseys now too?

I would like to see this smiley. I think the pirate is probably the closest thing we have right now.

And it's important to note that the new arm is even more powerful than the old one.

I live less than a mile away from one of their locations and I haven't even been there since hockey season. I know, I'm pathetic. You know what, screw it and go to Legal Seafoods. My roommate is a waiter there. By going their, you can partially fund my NHL Center Ice Package this year.

What, are you one of those people looking for nipples on the bat suit?

I'm looking forward to seeing the true comic book version of the joker. Jack was awesome on the role, but that wasn't what the Joker is supposed to be like. Less comedy and more insane, pointless killings will make me happy. I have no idea if Ledger can pull off this role though.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I've heard from a few people that the MGH cafeteria is supposed to be great. People stop in if they just happen to be in the area, yet for some reason, I've never been there even though I work for MGH.

Granted, it wasn't as big of a game, but I loved the shorty he scored against Atlanta earlier in the year. The play where Kovalchuk took his time skating down the puck in front of his own net.

I need to watch that movie again sometime because I don't remember that at all.

Ahhh, ok. I never even thought about 58. I think he'd gladly settle for a 59, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Still, that front 9 is video game quality.

Actually, if that link is up to date, he only needs 3 birdies. Par is 70 and he's 8 under.

And it was announced a whole 6 hours ahead of time too. If they are actually unveiling them today, they might as well just come out and say "we realize they're crap, but we have to get this out of the way now". Then they follow that up by quickly abandoning the jerseys whenever that becomes possible.

At some point, someone on here suggested that the Kryptonite triggered the development of his powers.

Superman can shake a human's hand without crushing it. He can control the amount of force he uses. Maybe he could do a similar thing when he ejaculates. Yeah, I can't believe I just typed that. As for Superman flying all the way to Krypton, he built a ship. Remember when he crashed back on Earth near his mother's place? Superman can only fly a certain distance in space. He needs to breath too (I get bored at work and read wikipedia crap a lot).

How about the first New England game?

And he was Lance Armstrong's teammate. Let the speculation begin (continue?).
