EmotionallyUnstable

Last year they broadcast this live on WGR or something similar IIRC. Anything like that this year?

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Likely wouldn't have made the roster anyways

If you really needvto cut the edge, pour a Manhattan. Works for me 8 times outta 7

Workshop? Just a car port? Storage? Gym? Italian living room? My wife and I got to talking about garages and how it’s very interesting that people in the same culture use them so vastly different. For us, we use ours for everything. It’s our main entrance, packed with tools and miscellaneous items for storage. It's shelter for her car. We leave the door open 80% of the day. This is in total contrast to our neighbor who is likely a serial killer. Garage door is always closed unless pulling in his car and he immediately closes it after he is inside before evening getting out or shutting off the car. On the few rare occasions I’ve seen in, it is completely bare. Just a large room with nothing hanging, no storage, no beer fridge, nothing. So...garage. Whats it to ya?

Worker stints are a very historic and genuine issue with labor unions. My situation is different in that we have a set schedule, deadlines , etc. I couldn’t imagine that as an employee, let alone an employer burning pay checks on no one working. Like most things, there are pros and cons

I’m a proud union member and appreciate all they do. Little know the hours of negotiations, meetings, arbitration and planning that goes into providing safety and security to those in my field. As many have stated, unions provide the balance to employers in order to “level the playing field” for workers. It only takes a single instance to appreciate the support and protection a union/backed contract can provide. Our Union just like many others, does not, and should not, protect against incompetence in the work place. However, as some have mentioned, they can make termination difficult. But I firmly believe the Average Joe isn’t even aware of what a modern union does, stands for or protects.

I reckon the uppers shall come on today. This should make things a little more interesting with the OL/DL competition. If you're planning on going, don't forget it is a ticketed practice! Thanks for all the twitter updates from many, many posters. I love the feed. Keep 'em coming!

I used to love his write ups and still appreciate the time he puts into these things. However, I’ve been enjoying the tweet updates more that these write ups lately because of the color Astro puts into them. They are overly positive with his own opinions clearly written into them. That’s not to say they’re right or wrong, good or bad, but I just like to know they line ups, plays, etc.

Mahomes vs. Allen comparison can end yesterday, as well. Drives me nuts “we could have had Gronk, Von Miller, Russel Wilson...” Josh Allen is our guy and I want him to win football games. Idc about anyone else and how far they can throw it. No offense to the OP

I thought he was an a$$hat before...

Congrats, Nate!

Did the online chat this morning. I typed "Customer Loyalty" into the chat, received an automated response and was forwarded to 'Nilton'.... After 5 minutes of administrative bull, he asked what we were looking for. My first goal was to secure our cable at a reasonable cost. We get the most basic SELECT package for 54 bucks (on promotion). I simply stated that I thought it was a fair price for what we were receiving, especially given the CBS blackout, and hoped to extend the promotion. In another five, he said it was possible and locked us in for another 12 months at that price. It was simple, pleasant and worth the 20 minutes of time while I put down the crossword and drank my coffee. What was WEIRD, however, was that following this dialogue I immediately asked about Sunday Ticket and RedZone. Nilton, repeatedly states, that there was NO WAY to do a promotional price or deal at this time. I even asked if he could sign me up for the regular package at full price and he said NO! He continually told me to try back closer to the season when prices and promotions will be at their peak value. I find this extremely weird and have never experienced this before. Even after expressing that I know others have received deals and promotions and asked as to why it was possible for others but not our account, I was met with: Nilton: I can not assure you that information but no worries, I assure you that we will have promotions available soon for the NFL. Anyone ever experienced this before?!

Our area is experiencing a black out of CBS through DTV currently due to lack of a contract and a fall-out in negotiations. I’m going to use this as a bargaining chip for sure . However, I’ll likely ask for what I have now just to continue with the deal (60 a month)

Snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like. I’m not trying to go JPP style

@JohnC We are two totally different types of hockey fans. You seem extremely knowledgable and I am admittedly new to the sport. That being said, why is it so wrong to want to be good now? I watch hockey purely for enjoyment. I want to see scoring, wins and a playoff run. I’d rather have one in the hand then two in the bush so putting off potential successes to snub a shot at a good season now is crazy to me. Go get the guys to be good now! Idk how to do it, who to move, or who to acquire, but that’s not my job. As others have said, other teams have done it. If I watch another wasted season playing mediocre to subpar hockey (see January/February), it will be clear that they are still a mess regardless of what you perceive to be a good administration.

Like I said, I get what the team is doing long term. The draft picks invest in the future and we all want to be great for years to come. But you ignored my point. How far away are these guys? We wait and wait for these prospects from Rochester and when will they turn into actual contributors on a winning team? You have much more patience than I. I’d trade every prospect for the chance to be good now. I’m a fan, not a GM (Clearly). So a lot of the moves they make I dislike because I’m sick of watching losing hockey year after year while being told that we have tons of potential coming up. When exactly is that? How long do you wait for this to happen before you stop and say, “can we just try to win now?” The players you’ve listed have been on the team. How exactly does that improve next year’s roster? I’m not expecting anything from a franchise that has sat by and simply watched their talent level be subpar while doing little about it. I’m not asking for magic. I just need something different. As much as I criticized Bean and company for their drastic moves upon arrival, I’ve learned to appreciate their vision and plan for better or for worse. They came in and totally flipped the roster while maintaining a core of players that they felt fit their team (plus made the playoffs in year one after losing lots of talent!) I just don’t see a clear cut plan in place here with the Sabres. It’s just more of the same.

How many years out is that? Just kee burning away years years on current talent. I get what they’re doing long term...but this team needs to be competitive now.

My dad could beat up your dad

Is this a discussion on potential stadiums or a “yo momma” roast?

I don't think I would celebrate in an obvious and outward way. But I wouldn't hide my excitement that our team's odds have improved. These guys are paid millions of dollars to put their bodies on the line. They all are aware of the risks they face. An injury to any player is unfortunate for them, but I'm sure not losing any sleep over it.

Patties or links?!?!?!?

Red velvet from Paula's are my favorite. In the fall, Becker Farms has fantastic old fashioned donuts. We go every year. This morning I'll buy Tim bits for my coworkers, because I don't like them very much. Happy Donut Day
