  1. I was wondering the same thing and hope that Reid was drinking there. The pockets of the Chiefs and the NFL are deep and this 5 year old’s life is forever altered. The family will have so many worries for so long. Removing money as one of those worries isn’t enough, but it is probably all that can be done. Why is that? If it can be established that he boozed it up at their facility on a regular basis and they ignored it......a good lawyer can take that a long way. They might be able to claim it was a one time thing which would clearly be BS, but they might get away with it.
  2. Not pictured: The lead weight known as Jeff Skinner around the ankles of that little Sabre kid.
  3. He fell for the old chipmunk in the tailpipe. Nice going Taggart.
  4. To me, it’s not the PEDs because that is fairly common. It’s more the holier than thou, superhero status that was obviously phony yet fooled so many. To me, it was obvious Armstrong was a douche from the jump. The hero worship lasted for a long time with him. Overcoming cancer is something I’ll leave out. I admire that about him. Dumping his wife who helped him through it to screw around with Sheryl Crow was a hoot. Watt gives off that same douchey vibe to me.
  5. Liberace?
  6. The dude gives off the biggest Lance Armstrong vibe since Lance Armstrong.
  7. He is phonier than the Verizon store.
  8. Shoot the messenger. He used math to disprove silly videos being aliens.
  9. I’m not sure my opinion is in the minority, but if so, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s not wrong. Skinner blows. If he went to the psychic, he’d be told that he should consider doing his whole job, not 25% of it.
  10. Prediction: The psychic will tell your girlfriend that her boyfriend is way off on the topic of Jeff Skinner. If that doesn’t happen, the psychic is a scam artist.
  11. It was the first thing he brought up after establishing that he is a hockey savant because he coached at a fairly high level, and it was longer than 20 seconds. If he is such a masterful coach he has the ability to prioritize and Skinner is his top priority. He is correct that Skinner isn’t being used the best way......which would have been letting him walk. Now we’re stuck with him for a long contract thanks to Botts and Murray setting up Botts for that particular failure. The best way to use a currently crappy player on an expensive long term contract is to try to get him to be a better player, not to indulge his bad habits. Okposo’s contract is expensive too but almost up; and he gives effort.
  12. Skinner has produced exactly zero AND insists on playing selfishly from what I can see. He has pretty much been that way his whole career. Okposo is a player way past his prime on a bad contract who stinks at this point but gives effort. There would be no difference in the W/L columns by playing Skinner and the rant guy would find some other way to blame Krueger at that point. Rant guy coached hockey “at a high level” so clearly they should fire Krueger and hire him. He’s a clueless caller to a radio show. He’ll solve it all with Skinner. The Sabres clearly have issues. The coach may or may not be one of them but Skinner is not a solution unless he changes. Personally I think Eichel is boozing or has something else serious going on. I would not be surprised if he checks into a rehab at some point over the next few months. Pulling an O’Reilly is one thing, but yelling at Dahlin after Eichel himself screwed up is indicative of something worse.
  13. That guy is basing his premise on Skinner being some sort of a savior and that is flat out wrong. It undermines the rest of his rant. Skinner is a one trick pony and not a very good player at all.
  14. But Ukka Pookah Sambuca is going to be ready right after Seattle wins their second cup. Also, although I hate to say it, there aren’t many explanations for Eichel’s play. Playing injured, booze/substance, and women make up the entire list. Garden variety checking out does not look like this.
  15. Skinner isn’t actually that good at hockey and rewarding him by putting him on with Eichel would be the wrong move. He’s a one trick pony who had one good stat season which was an illusion to his overall career. Botts rewarded him with a ridiculous contract, but I don’t really blame Botts. The numbers forced his hand and the whole row of dominoes was set up by the worst GM in the history of team sports, Tim Murray. Murray was so incredibly inept that he doomed the team for a decade with a mix of squandered resources, bad players and bad contracts. I feel bad criticizing Okposo because he seems to be a great guy, but giving him that contract is like signing Josh Rosen to a 7 read $185M deal.
  16. It’s almost like Watt wants more attention.
  17. Pam Dawber from Mork and Mindy?
  18. You’re a Batman character and this guy sounds like one, of course you want him.
  19. My guess is he signs somewhere around March 8, maybe the 10th. This will maximize the time for publicity before general FA starts. He views himself as the center of the universe and that date range is the peak for someone with the need for self promotion.
  20. How did this thread turn into Bob Kraft’s fantasy?
  21. Hall gets boarded and defends himself....gets a 4 minute penalty and we go from one up to one down.
  22. Something’s up. No way does anyone that is all there have a haircut like that.
  23. Crunch Berries turn your poop green. Packers.
