I think even TO and Sean Taylor would step up to care for their own brother when a tragedy like a mother's death occurs. This Madieu Williams seems like a high character guy, but let's be real...I think ANYONE in his situation would do the same thing. There are plenty of people who didn't receive $1.2 million signing bonuses who step up and take care of family issues. It's a nice story, but not a big deal, and not out of the ordinary. It would be a big deal if he was ignoring family members in need.

That is correct. The crowd was in a frenzy and deserved to see the hit one time. Umberger was off the ice, and play was about to resume. They showed the hit once at regular speed, and you are correct, it was the hit only, not the 'Where am I?' aftermath.

Her stomach looks fine. It's her huge testicles that are the turn off. Check out that bulge!!! Even with that (apparently) monster clam, she's pretty damn hot.

Over and over? I was at the game, and the whole place was on their feet for five minutes after that hit...It was louder than after any goal. The fans were begging for a replay. Finally, after they got Umberger off the ice (see also: any scene from 'Weekend at Bernie's' when they were propping up the dead guy) they showed the replay one time from one angle on the Jumbotron. I thought it was proper. There was 18000 people who couldn't believe what they just saw and wanted to see it again. They waited for the dead guy to get off the ice, the crowd gave him a nice hand, and then they showed the replay once. Anyone who thought that was excessive is nuts. Possibly the greatest check in Sabres history...Has to rank with Schoenfeld check through the boards and fight in zamboni hallway.

Leinart 'dropping' would be him falling any lower than #3. You can debate all you want about Leinart simply being a function of a winning team, but the fact is, he was 37-2 as a starter, and lost both games by 3 points. Ask Hollywood Donahoe and AKC about their 'Brady wins' vs. 'the system wins' arguments...Leinart playing at USC is the same thing. While clearly they had the best players, over the course of 37 victories, your QB is going to have to do something special to win a few of those games. I could see him taking a year or two, but then being very successful, a la Drew Brees (another weak-armer out of the draft).

What's that? Speech? Aww, shucks, well...There's so many people to thank... Have fun at the game capitan, make sure you let those goombas in the penalty box have it. I will be there, up in the 300-level with the unwashed, but I will look for your sign. Go Sabes!

There will be plenty of cameras at the HSBC, as the game will actually be shown on four networks: MSG (in Buffalo,) Comcast (in Philly,) OLN (national,) and TSN (Canada.)

Dixon Cider, and his brother Justin?

You cocksmoker, I didn't see this till just now!!! By the way, I wasn't being lazy: Thanks tater you ball buster!

"YOUR DISGUSTING CITY GAVE TOM HANKS AIDS!"

Miller Stones Gagne

"TOM DONAHOE WOULD'VE STOLEN THIS SIGN....THANKS DARCY!!!"

That's a good play. They've been cruising up the ladder in that conference. Tater, any chance you could locate the opening line to win the Cup from October?

Thx tater. Wow Philly! 5-1 odds??? Really?

Could someone please post the current odds to win the Stanley Cup, and possibly include the odds from before the season started as well? I am very interested, but am at work now and all of the 'gaming' websites are blocked here. Thanks in advance. Your pal, S'n'J

Eastern Conference 1 Ottawa vs 8 Tampa Bay Ottawa in 6 2 Carolina vs 7 Montreal Montreal in 7 3 New Jersey vs 6 NY Rangers New Jersey in 5 4 Buffalo vs 5 Philadelphia Buffalo in 3, Philly forfeits after losing game three 9-0 Western Conference 1 Detroit vs 8 Edmonton Detroit in 6 2 Dallas vs 7 Colorado Dallas in 6 3 Calgary vs 6 Anaheim Calgary in 7 4 Nashville vs 5 San Jose San Jose in 6

Last night, the LA Clippers played the Memphis Grizzles. The winner was guaranteed the 5-seed in the Western Conference playoffs, which is no prize: That means they would have to play the 4th-seeded Dallas Mavericks, who were right on the heels of the Spurs all year for best record in the conference. Since Dallas finished 2nd to San Antonio in the division, they get bumped behind the three division winners and into the 4-seed. Memphis beat LA and now plays the Mavs. Good luck Memphis. What makes this real interesting is that the Clippers, after losing (on purpose) to the Grizzles, now get the 6-seed, and get to play the weak 3-seed, the Denver Nuggets. However, regardless of seeding, home court advantage is based on record. Therefore, since the 6th-seeded Clippers have a better record than the division winning 3rd-seeded Nuggets, the Clippers have home court advantage in Round 1. What kind of backwards-ass system is that? If they are going to do it that way, why even bother with the division winners seeded 1-2-3? Just take the 8 best records and do it that way. If you win your division but have the 9th-best record in your conference, tough titties. The Grizzles have a better record than the Clippers, and yet they have to play one of the best teams in the NBA on the road, while LA plays a weaker opponent at home. Makes no sense to this guy.

Bastard!

My boss is out of the office this week, so I am sailing along rather smoothly here. In fact, even feeling a bit bored. I figured I would like a good laugh at your expense! Fire away with a funny story about your wife/gf/sig other and help me drag my ass through another day in the office. I'll get started, this one is as recent as today... I was supposed to go to my girlfriend's brother's house for Easter Sunday dinner. Her brother and his wife were having pretty much her whole family over, and needless to say, I was planning on attending. However, at about 7pm the night before (Sat night) my buddy called me and said he had an extra ticket to the Sabres-Leafs game, and was wondering if I could go. I said, "Let me call you back in five minutes." I called my gf, she said people were arriving at her bro's around 3, dinner around 6. The puck drops at 5pm at HSBC. I said, "Baby, I don't think I can swing it for dinner (I thought about lying right here, but didn't) I have a ticket to the Sabres-Leafs game. I'll hang out with the fam before, and come back after." Needless to say, she was less than thrilled, but is amazingly understanding about sporting events. Even more needless to say, I ended up getting pretty bombed at the hockey game, and showed up at her bro's house afterwards packing a nice buzz. I also proceeded to scarf down a huge plate of Easter ham while her mom scolded me for skipping the real dinner. Quite the spectacle. Here's why I love her: Tonight is her birthday. I play in a basketball league every Tuesday night, and tonight is the last game before the playoffs. We are in 4th place, and the top 4 make the playoffs (we should win, we are playing the last place team who won only once.) I wakeup this morning, and my gf is gone...She is a teacher and is off this week, so she goes to the gym early in the AM. I get out of the shower and notice that all of my basketball gear is locked in the dog's crate, with a Masterlock that I don't have the combination for. Very funny- shoes, shorts, jersey, all laying in there in plain view, but unreachable. She left a note on the crate that said, "Hope you enjoyed the hockey game Sunday...Dinner tonight bud, you're not getting out of this one!!!" I was shocked to see my hoops gear locked up in plain view, but I read her note and just had to crack up. She's so laidback about all of my other antics, that I think she deserves a nice bday celebration tonight. Luckily for me, I planned ahead...I was letting her think I was playing hoops tonight but was planning on skipping it all along...Dinner rez for two at a nice spot, and then I have 5-6 of her friends (and a few of mine as well) meeting us out for drinks after. What a class act I am. Hopefully this holds me over till next year!

Blow a monster hit of the greenleaf in her face. There's been plenty of occasions when that's helped me sleep.

Rented "The Skeleton Key" with Kate Hudson this weekend. Pretty darn good.

He actually got a 10-minute misconduct, but with 4-and-change left in the game, it effectively was an ejection. I headed to the game yesterday and I was listening to WGR on the way in. Paul Hamilton typically has a five minute pregame interview with Lindy, but they didn't have it yesterday because Lindy was in a meeting with the NHL's Head of Officiating, who was in town. The guy met with Quinn before the game too, and clearly had some instructions for the refs. The refs did a good job of tossing Domi when he tackled McKee, and probably did the smart thing by getting Peters out of there. The last thing the Sabres need is McKee breaking his hand trying to fight Domi, and the refs knew the guys from both teams who were out to stir up trouble. They squashed that stuff right away, and made it easy to enjoy the beatdown. By the way, huge play by Gaustad to lock down Tucker's stick when the puck was trickling across to him with an empty net. Nobody wanted that bastard to score. Gaustad said after the game (with a smile) "I knew whose stick it was." While I always love a big bruhaha, that was better than any cheap shot revenge. Plus, they play eight times next year, there will be a chance to get Tucker when the playoffs aren't a week away.

I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination. The pay isn't great, but the benefits are outstanding! Like I said, must've just missed at #51.

I'm not sure what list we're referring to here, but I'll say that I just missed at #51

How's the girl look?
