  1. Day-um. The Aussies take this "shark week" stuff to heart.
  2. Just seeing it now as well. Very sad. RIP.
  3. There'll be fewer unionized workers working? Probably. But union labor is far more inelastic to a minimum wage increase than labor making mimimum is. The campaign checks will keep rolling in, which is what's truly important.
  4. How is that bad for unions that have their contracts tied to the minimum wage? Minimum wage goes up, D's solid voting block gets raises. Of course they're going to push for it. Those were the people you were referring to w/ the "those the libs want to help," right?
  5. Is the answer: anyone who worked at the State Department under her tenure that might have had any possibility of receiving or sending an e-mail Madame Secretary would prefer to not get FOIA'd?
  6. Thought that was his point. Even if the Bills lose a coordinator to a HC job somewhere, they will be in the mix, at worse, to get the next coordinator that'll be in the mix for HC openings.
  7. Psst. Somebody want to tell her the Mao lookalike contest was LAST Thursday?
  8. Really? The only people in the entire world that don't believe the case for anthropomorphic induced climate change has been compelling made are "RRAC's?" No hyperbole there.
  9. Brady's method isn't just higher risk gamesmanship - it is flat out cheating. He's directing the ballboy to steal the balls from the refs and then alter them after they were inspected. And intent isn't at issue, it's action that's the issue. You can intend to have some of other peoples' money w/out "working." You can panhandle - annoying, but not cheating; or you can pick their pockets - annoying & cheating. While the latter method will likely yield more cash, it definitely is higher risk and entails more consequences. But the cheating isn't what will be his downfall; it'll be his obstruction of the investigation.
  10. Can't see how he doesn't sit a few games for obstructing the league's investigation and lying. They have to sit him at least 1/2 a season or nobody will ever work w/ the league on an investigation again.
  11. Assuming the Eulers stay on track, the Sabres are set up to have the 2 best Americans in NHL history: LaLaLaLaLaLaFontaine & Jack. Pretty ####ing cool.
  12. Greg, why does it have to be one or the other? It could be both.
  13. Yup. Tiebreaker is ROW. Yotes gave 19. Sabres have 14. W/ only 3 left, Sabres have the edge.
  14. After all games played into 4/4, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 2 Arizona: 11 Edmonton: 16 Tiebreaker can't flip, so a tie goes to Sabres. There are currently 12 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 2 teams. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 2-1-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  15. After all games played into 4/4, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 4 Arizona: 11 Edmonton: 16 Tiebreaker can't flip, so a tie goes to Sabres. There are currently 14 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently 14 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres needed 1 point to break their way to eliminate Edmonton and they got it, so Edmonton was eliminated tonight. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 1-2-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  16. After all games played through 4/2, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 13 Edmonton: 16 In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 4 (of 5 remaining) games prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning all 5 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 18 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently 20 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres need 3 points to break their way to eliminate Edmonton so they could go 3-1-1 and still clinch 29th regardless of what Edmonton does. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 1-4-0. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  17. Presumably so shoppers can tell which outfits will keep the shopper warm. Who'd buy a sweater that freezes a mannequin's breasts off?
  18. After all games played through March, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 15 Edmonton: 22 In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 5 (of 6 remaining) games prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning all 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 24 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 22 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres need 3 points to break their way to eliminate Edmonton so they could go 4-1-1 and still clinch 29th regardless of what Edmonton does. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 2-4-0. Tomorrow night's game is most likely a W, so in their last 5 the Sabres need to go 1-4-0 or worse. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.)
  19. Russia does not recognize petulant, decadent Americans as voice for Poland. Go back to standing behind France. If you would like to speak for Poland, agree to our reasonable requests.
  20. That's what the post above yours just said.
  21. After all games played today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: ELIMINATED Toronto was eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 6 (of 7 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 28 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 26 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona on Monday night. If the Sabres lose in regulation, then they can go 4-2 in their remaining 6 and still lock up 30th. No other H-t-H's between the 3 teams.
  22. The peaceful Russian people do not need your surrender yet. You can continue practicing that manouver until the time is appropriate.
  23. After the Arizona game today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 10 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: 27 Toronto could be eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to at least win 6 (of 8 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to OT but still winning 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. There aren't enough games left for TO to get the tiebreaker. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 30 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton and Buffalo / Toronto. There are currently only 28 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona and Buffalo and Toronto. No other H-t-H's between the 4 teams.
