Exactly.  Just pay attention to the nicknames teammates have for each other.  It's almost exclusively a shortened last name with either an "S" or an "LY."

 

 

The improvement in Tage's play has been noticeable recently.  He's really starting to look like an asset.

 

My wife growing up had a neighbor.  She'd tack a "y" onto everybody's name.  Got a guy like that at work.  Christine becomes Christy.  Well... My wife's neighbor would call me "Ricky" short for Eric.  WTF?  Anyway, she named all her kids ending in "y."  Her name was Hazel... LoL... So when my son was born, we named him: Ethan.  Hazel goes to us, our inlaws: "What kind of name is that!"  LoL.... All the names in my wife's family easily accept the "y" thing.

 

 

Gee... I hope nobody is on board that knows her.  No disrespect, but she was ridiculous.  I Wonder if she was Canadian.  Canadians (and appears Texans) have a thing for nicknames.  Canadians and the "y" thing.

 

Anyway... What's Dahlin's nickname?

Haven't heard it yet, but I'm guessing "Dahlsy"

 

Edit:  could also be "Dahls" or "Dahllers"

I thought I saw a play on the name Rasmus for him at some point earlier today when I was reading something.  They can use it for him since Ristolainen already has "Risto".

This neighbor didn't happen to go to Orchard Park HS, did she?

never mind that the Sabres have been entanked for what, 6 seasons or so?

 

Come on man, try harder.

 

The Bills tanked 19 years.  My response was to YOLOs post-keeping the right inherited players, knowing who to trade, and who to trade for, and going from worst to first in one year.  Beane is on the right track, but Botterell is quickly outpacing him

My wife grew up on Abbott just South of Thruway (across from Fisher).  Went to Lackawanna High School. But her cousins under a mile South on Abbott towards Stadium went to West Seneca West (where I went).  O.Park is right there too.

 

They may have.  Lived on Line where W.Seneca, O.Park, & Lackawanna meet.

 

The neighbor was older, older than my wife's parents and my parents (born in 1930s)... She did have relatives in Hamburg (I think?), the neighbor that is.

 

I knew somebody may know her!  Really nice lady, but a bit eccentric with the "Y" thing. LoL...

To be fair, the Sabres already had their qb in house when Boterell took over. It’s so much easier when you are already sure with your top guy. 

 

And no, the bills did not tank for 19 years. They were actually trying for a good portion of that run, which makes it so much worse.

Well, what age was the neighbor?

She was older... I think She is passed away now.  She'd probably be late 80s 90s now?  Because her children were older than us and my wife's siblings (late 50s).

 

I'd have to ask my wife more questions, but I think eccentricity runs in the family.  Trust me, I am an expert on the subject of eccentricity.  LoL... ?

 

My best friend's family (I grew up in S.Cheek) went to West... Actually knew her as a family friend.  They would go visit her.  She lived right next to my wife growing up.

 

I think... Again... Think she had family near Hamburg.  My wife's cousins a few blocks down live in O.Park.  Went to W.Seneca West.  So, the lines all muddied there.

 

You may have known her children...Or other family...???

 

Very quirky.  For years after getting married, you could always count on Her to be the first to send out Christmas cards.  We'd get her's like middle November.  Always addressed with "Y's" on end of our names.  She never wrote my Son's name... LMAO... 

 

I just know she was over-compensating for having a hard name to end in a "Y"...Why she was in denial about my Son's name.

?

Sounds good to me. Make it hard for the Leaves to keep good players.

 

 

I think this will definitely happen and I won’t be surprised to see an offer north of $14m for Matthews.

 

I wonder how many times he’s heard Shanahan’s “guys will have to take a discount in exchange for winning championships in Toronto” speech.

I am not sure which is worse- 2-14 or 8-8?  The Bills have had plenty of both.  But when you are 2-14 you get Bruce Smith

Yep, but I think Loafs will match. 

Fine by me.  I'd love for them to be paying him $4M more than Jack every year for a decade.   Carter Hutton makes under $3 and Dahlin for the next 2 years is about $1M.

It's way better to blow it up completely than be mediocre.  WAY, WAY better.  Imma cheer for the Patriots to be between 7-9 and 9-7 every year until I die.
